Yesterday the testing OF the new eIperl-
mental gas furnace WAS continued at the
Buckeye Glass Works. la the evening the
blast from the fan which had previously
been used to create draft and increase
the burning power was removed on &C.
count of break in the engine. To the
surprise OF all the eve Of the furnace i'm
mediately Tiled with solid fame and the
combustion was greatly increased. This
occurrence proves quite Il happy fact. 1t
will not hereafter be necessary to usa the
fan at all, except when the SCOT which ar
cumuates in the hIes needs burning out.

There has been considerable talk lately
among our citizens concerning how much
thu new straet crossings were costing when
put down under the management OF Street
Commissioner Fisher The actual cost
thus far under the new management is
- 20 per square ward. The old contracts
were - IL and - TO- respectively. From
this. it will be seen that our worthy Street
Commissioner, by his labors, is saving the
town quite neat sum in this one improve
meut.
Above almost all other things our Town
council should make provisions for our |
people TO get to and from church. The
new cinder walk from the Methodist TO the
Central school bulldinw is quite an i'm
but is still not as good as ii !
should be. On Walnut street from the
Presbyterian church to the opposite side OF ;
he street, the crossing ID almost impassa-
bic. This one needs attention from the |
fact that all school children from the upper |
end OF town have TO cross here several |
tines daily. There is good stone Cross
ng at that point but it il set too low. !
This should he raised and the street west /
81 Fourth street TO the alley graded and
drained so az to keep the water from col
octing at that point.
And while we IRE tS.kog Of streets we
