tained currency that the Supreme Court has de-
cided that cities, towns, and villages must pay
for sidewalks ous Of the general fund OF The city
and town, and that these municipalities have no
authority to ta1 tho owners Of adjacent property
for such PURPOSES. In consequence Of this re-
port, the Attorney-General Ia in receipt Of
numerous letters asking for IN opinion en- the
subject. He has not given in any case an Of
hc:al opinion, but he to-day, in answer to . let
ter, called attention to the fact that the Constl
tuition Of the State authorizes municipalities 10
make Just such improvements by special asaess-
meuts On tue oxnets Of adjacent property. He
also says he knows OF no opinion Of the suprems
Court touching the question:
Ex~StAte T1easut'r Rug WAS In tbs CITY TO-
day aud called On Thomas s. Rldgway, the State
Treasurer and informed him that the injunc.
ton restraining him from paying over $4,000
now in his possession, Of the 1856 tar had been
dissolyed. and ha WAS therefore prepared to and
would pay the amount OF money into the State
Treasury next week. This settles the matter.
so far as the find iu the hands OF the State Of
hcers is concerned. Eighty-si1 counties have
already received their share of this fund frcm
the state Treasurer. and out few counties re-
main to be paid. These will be paid At any time
when they call for the amounts due them. The
working Of the law has devel 'ped the fact, how
ever that the County Treasurers will get .
handsome slice of the funds in the Shape Of
commissions before 1t reaches the tax-payer tor
whom it Was intended.

Fire Department PROMPTLY responded, and very
soou had two streams OF water playing on the

evident from the first, for. instead Of
getting at the intexior. where the fire Was slowly
