safety; but no sooner had it passed
than the culvert fell in, making Il

The Legislature, at it's last session, authorized
the Cook County Commissioners to borrow
$1:50o, 900, which amount will carry the county
debt up to the extreme point allowed by the Con-
Rtitution. This is the whole sum out Of which
the county is to build the new Court House, new
jail, and meet al other extraordinary expendi-
tures incidental to or resulting from the fire, Us
well as to meet all the new expenditures for
additional public works. A portion Of the
members Of the Board OF County Commissioners
propose to pay $750,000 Of this money
to the owners Of the abstract books; that is to
say, they propose to issue to them bonds
bearing per cent interest, and running 20 years,
to the amount Of 9750,000. In other words, the
proposition is to pay these abstract owners
95250o annually for 20 years, and then at the
end of that time $750,000 more. A year has in
terVened since the fire, and in that time the
owners Of these books have had full time and
opportunity to duplicate all their entries. For
all practical PURPOSES 30 far as their business is
concerned, they are now prepared to hand over
the first copy of their entries and 60 On as usual
with their business with the second copies. In
point Of fact, by retaining copy OF these books,
they merely furniRh the county copy,-being
the first one made by them. Their
books are not original papers. Their books con-
tain entries made by them, copied or taken from
the original records. The original records are
destroyed. Having duplicated their books, they
sell the first copy to the county, and for this de-
the Board Of Commissioners be weak enough to
vote any such sum, or even half that sum, We
trust there is courage enough in the Judges to
veto any such action.

Messrs. Flint, Thompson d. Co. have author
lied statement that, at the close Of the month

warehouses weighed, and an account taken Of
their outstanding receipts. They ask that the
Board Of Trade and Railroad and Warehouse
Commissioners will bo represented at such ex-
animation and Weighing. The Messrs. Buchng-
ham, Armour, Dole & Co., and other proprietors
of elevators will probably adopt the same course
Had such proceedings been the rule during the

that have disgraced the warehouse business dur
