Frame Houses in ''The Belt."-A resident
of ''the Belt propounds the following question to
would we not deprive ourselves of the right to
build frame houses % The San replies follows
"The power of fixing the limits within which it
is not lawful to erect frame buildings is vested in
the Mayor and City Council The existing ordi-
nance prohibits the erection of such buildings
within the limits of direct taxation, which, since
1874, have included the entire city. The City
Council could, and doubtless would, if the Belt
were admitted, make such regulations upon this
subject as would allow the largest possible liberty
to property -owners consistant with the safety of
surrounding structures"

see what it contains?" There is clean, new $40
BILL neatly folded and wrapped in piece of per-

to show from whom it was sent. The letter had
been advertised as unclaimed and was dead, and
the examination of its contents made it more
completely dead than BEFORE We have nothing
but the postmark and even that is almost obliter-
ated, but our expert will take hold of it and do
the best he can with it. There's a pretty slim
chance in this case. I guess Uncle Sam will get
that money. This reminds me of something in
my own experience. few years ago, when L
was opening letters, found one just like this,
except that the amount was $50 and the paper
wrapped around it was written in pencil, "A friend,
Matthew vi g. looked that up and found it
to be: But when thou doest aims, let not thy
left hand know what thy right hand doeth.' The
letter was addressed to woman and it was
clearly a case of charity. 1 really felt bad that

Public Roads.-The Reisterstown Voice says
"It is quite time that some practical, common

county roads. The present law and system is just
about so bad that they could not be worse. More
than eighty thousand dollars spent every year
upon these roads, and in large majority of cases
nothing but a mass of mud, bottomless at that, to
show for it. We said spent upon the roads. We
County Commissioners under professions Of hav-
ing been spent on the roads. This road super
visor system is the biggest fraud that could be
devised, and we hope that some Moses may arise
in our legislative delegation and do something
for us by leading us out of the mud and the will
derness of mire."
