Dealers in summer GOODNESS assert
that no ice has yet formed which is fit
to store away. 1t is full of sand and air
bubbles and several other things not
good to take in a glass of whatever you
drink and is 30 much out of shape as to
render impossible the use Of the ice pillow.
There is yet al unfrozsn strip in the
river and when that congesls, if it is a
slick job, the ice gatherer will descend
upon it with all his harvesting utensils.

was held last evening for the purpose of
considering a proposal made by the

compapy's yards, that the company psy
the city $3.50 per year for the use thereof
and that the water be taken care of by
the company. After considerable argu-
ment pro and con the proposal was
rejected. The brick company intended
to use the water as power for propeliing
its machinery.
"Wlth the beginning of April of this
year the city was in a better financial
condition than 9 before, and ncw it
is in q worse financial condition than
ever BEFORE" remarked an officer to-
day. Questioned further on the sub
iect he said there we're two causes-munic-
ipal extravaganza and slow payments
of taxes. The extravaganza, he said,
had been in the direction Of substantial
improvements, but too much of that
kind of work had been crowded into one
year, displaying e lack of good business
judgment. The business men and
property owners OF our city are very
much interested in these matters.
