been found necessary recently to replank
the structure, the Commissioners living in New
York, without having consulted their colleagues on
the other side. awarded contract for the work to
certain party at $15 900. The nature Of the 'JobD
may be ut once comprehended when Is statsd that
responsible parties IN Westchester county were
ready to perform the work Tor $4,000.
Owing to the circumstance tnat the $50 900 originally
appropriated for the construction OF the new iron
bridge over East Chester creek at Pelham has all
been expended while the work sttl remains In an u-
finished state the Board Of Supervisors has removed
the old commission and appointed new one, con-
sisting OF William II. Brown. OF West Chester;
Andrew Finlay OF East Chester, and H. II. Robert
son, OF Morrisania. Ar additional appropriation OF
$l5,0 600 has been ms.e to complete the work.

this argument TO remind those who bring forward
that we nave inherited not only tue liabilities, but
also the assets of our ancestors, including among
the latter many advantages altogether beyond price.
Another argument very frequently used NAV be

A Frankfort correspondent OF the London Daily

To-day have received curious and interesting
letter from an officer at the German headauar-

The complete project Of war upon Great
Britain was planned out exactly as that or a ar
