SOME STIR has been created by PROPOSE
ton on the part of the Salem National Bank

the corner of Market street and Broadway in
Salem for SO years at $500 per annum for the
erection of a new bank. The matter came
before tu0 DOdTu VI IIOcAoioCio az I'D A"oe
meeting, and the lease would doubtless have
been made on the terms mentioned had not
several citizens appeared and demonstrated
against such action without giving the people
of the county an opportunity to be heard.
VIM. T. Hilliard, Esq, stated that he would
himself give 5000 a year for the ground-just
double what the bank offered. The whole
matter was postponed and the clerk OF the
board was instructed to give notice to the
people of the county in the newspapers that
the question would be acted upon at the next
meeting of the board. A remonstrance
against leasing the county lot for any purpose
is being circulated. large number of citi-
zens have already signed it.
WE ARE INFORMED by resident of Salem
that the Reliance engine when in use there
gave good results, but the secret was in hav-
ing the brakes well manned. He stated that
it required thirty men to throw good stream
when the suction was attached, and they re-
CURED to be relieved about every fifteen min
utes. By this it would appear that sixty
men are required to operate the engine for
any length of time. Of course, if the engine
is filled with water by hand SO that the only
power required is to throw the stream, less
number at the brakes is sufficient.
