the Calico Ball. which comes off Wednesday
evening at City Hall. There is a good demand
for tickets, ard every prospect of most bril-

Second Avenue Extension.

We took a walk through klmbal! street
and the Second Avenue extension Sunday
afternoon, to see what progress was being
made there Kimball street is open SC
that a buggy can pass through from
Centre Station to Second Avenue, but it is a
pretty billy road. Ia time the grade can
be made as easy as Elm street, but it will be
sore years beioreit is done. The opening
of the street brings into market eligible
buildings lots belonging to II. p. Hull, p.
L. Gable, and Harper T. Robinson. The
Second Avenue extension will also open
for sale large number Of very eligiu!a lots
belonging to Harper & Robinson, Hull and
others,
1t is said that efforts will be made to
establish a street railroad, running from
Market Square out Eagle and down Toledo
to the extreme lower end of town, and up
Second Avenue to Moline Such a road
would be a great public accommodation,
but it can not be run through that Second
Avenue extension, even with dummy
engine, until a good many thousand dollars
have been expended 10 that locality. If a
bridge about 80 feet high were built over
the rayinc between the summit and
Augustana College, and the summit cut
down about 10 feet, dummy engine could
then run to Moline. Some day, a large
stone culvert must be built 10 that ravine,
aud the avenue filled over it so as to make
the grade as easy and straight as possible.
1t will then be one of the most delightful
drives in this vicinity, and. with street
cars, a most disirable place for residences.
A; the summit there is fine view of the
Mississippi valley to Hampton, and also
down the river, and of Davenport and
East Davenport, and the Island of Rock
Island. really the fuest view of any
place in this vicinity And, some day
street cars will run past the residences t
be built on the heights.

ONE OF THE VERY BEST of the new
hotels in Philadelphia is the Grand Expo
sition HOTEL corner Lancaster and
Girard avenues, a location very near
the centennial grounds, and yet in a
very pleasant and quiet neighborhood. 1t
is supplied with all improved appliances,
such, for instance, rs those admirable
earth commodes made by the
Wakefield Co., of \. Y. Hence danger
from ma'arie, from sewer gas, etc., is
much re4uced. During the hot months,
such points are Of great note. The hotel
also has a most efficient manager in Nj.

delphia The buildings are entirely of
brick, and at the close of the exhibition
they can be arranged into private
dwellings. The hotel is the largest 10 the
world, is conducted on the European plan,
and is cheaper than any other first-class
hotel. 1t is only Is minutes drive from

eloquent remarks that his heart beats

The Town Board, and Town Bills.

Readers of THE ARGUS have not for
gotten how we scored and exposed the
board of town auditors, during Krell's
administration, for holding illegal meetings
and allowing themselves and others illegal
bills. On Saturday, at the request of
people who had bills against the town, a
meeting was called, but Sup'r. Aster said,
before it was held, that the law provided
for only two meetings in the year-the
Tuesday before the annual September
meeting of the county board, and the
Tuesday before the annual April town
meeting-which would generally be on the
last Tuesdays in March and August. But
they met in Killers Hall on Saturday
afternoon, present Sup'r. Aster, Town
Clerk Johnston, and Justices Wagner
Dunlap, Pinkley and Chopper, When
they got together Justice Wagner read
the law, as follows:
THE BOARD TOWN AUDITORS.
S g. Said board of auditors shall meet at the tow n
clerks Office for the purpose of examining and
auditing he town accounts, semi-annually, on the
county board, and on the Tuesday next preceding
the annual town meeting. See Reoised Statutes,
70wRship Organization, article XIII
After the reading, they dispersed, and
will try in future to hold their meetings
and conduct them in accordance with law,
instead of in accordance with the whim of
some BOSS" like Krell
By the wayne understand that there
is not money enough in the treasury to pay
the bills which have already been pre-
scented, and that Supervisor Aster will
have to borrow, or some Of the bills will
remain unpaid until tax can be assessed
and collected. This is krell's fault. He
reported to the county board that no towr
tax was necessary, and therefore none was
assessed for 1873. He also neglected the
matter Of dog tax at the meeting il
March, and therefore no dog tax wa
collected Had he done his duty in regart
to the dog tax it is likely that Supr. Aste
could haye got through the year withou
borrowing.
