STREET. AND ALLEYS

Alderman Keefe presented a lengthy
and exhaustive report on behalf of the
street and alley committee. According to
the document and Mr.. Keefe's construc-
ton of the proper province of his com
mittee, streets and alleys have cost the
city 1913. 10 during the past year.
HOSE HOUSES NEEDED.
MIR. Altman made a few suggestions on
behalf Of the iiremcn. The Alert hose
house is a very rickety structure and
should be repaired at once, while the
Clarks are sadly in need Of comfortable
quarters.
THE EXPERIMENTAL wEL
City Engineer Miller submitted an es-
innate for the sinking of n $50 foot cx
perimental drive well. Ills figures were:
Ten inch pipe for first 100 feet, eight
inch pipe for remainder. For first
100 feet, So. so per foot; second 100 feet,
SO. IS per foot; third 100 feet, 500 per
foot; final fifty feet, 81. % per loot.
TO ADVERTISE AGAIN.
1t appearing that an estimate of the
proposed work should have accompanied
the advertisement for bids for the driving
Of a well, it was ordered that an amended
call for bids be inserted in the official
paper.
After a lengthy discussion it was de-
cided to seek bids for the sinking of a
well to the depth of 1000 feet, persons
boring to cease when the council shall
direct. By adopting this course it is
hoped to secure a supply of water at a
nominal outlay. If a proper quantity of
fluid is encountered at a depth less than
1000 feet, the city will be the gamer.
The following bills were presented, and,
on recommendation of the finance com
mittee, ordered paid:

Police Report Submitted and EIec.
tiOn Judges Appointed.

Mayor Riner, who has been unable to
attend council meetings for several
months, was present and presided last
evening. Every member of the alder
manic board responded to roll call, some
thing quite unusual, as other matters
usually preclude the possibility of every
councilman being present.
A. Nichols presented a petition request
ing hat he be allowed a rebate on water
tax paid, for the reason that he did not
use the fluid during a greater portion of
the time specified in the bill. Referred
to the water committee.
Further time was granted the finance
committee to investigate the merits of the
petition of John Roberts in the purchase
of two lots, now the property of the
municipality.
On motion of Alderman Draper the
reports Of officers were referred to the
finance committee, with instructions to
report at the mex meeting of the council.
This action was taken on account of the
inability of n or two of the officials to
present reports, the gentlemen having
been unable, on account Of the pressure
of other business. to prepare the antici-
pated reports.
Several property holders having neg
lected to lay sidewalks as provided by or
dinance, the same will be constructed by
the city, at the expense of the property
owners.
A GOOD SHOWING.
According to Marshal Schnitger's tabu-
lated statement of police work for the ten
months ending Dec. 81, $50 arrests were
made by the police force. OF this num-
Der 35l were for intoxication, 172 vagran-
cy, 162 paupers, 112 disturbers of the
peace, 1O4 prostitutes, 80 thieves, 4 pick
pockets 6 nuisances. During the ten
months city prisoners performed 721 days
labor on the streets. The cost of their
%sustenance during this time was only
$SIS.

West At the end of its first year it had achieved
a circulation OF about 10000. From that time on
its growth has been remarkable 1t now prints
seven editions daily, comprising both morning
and evening issues. Its statement OF circulation
for the year 1884 shows daily average OF I2s,I7S
copies, unquestonably the largest daily circulation
on the American continent. The sworn state
ment for 1887 shows daily average Of I65,376)

severity there is always in its utterances Of opinion

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
lation to the persistent adherence on the part
of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet " style of journalism. Of all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most in hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns of
verbiage and stuff. THE DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise form. The result Of such
condition of affairs is that THE DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined.
In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced so phenomenal jour
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
tionaby has been the controlling conviction of its
managers that the cheap paper should be cheap
only in price, that its news should be as fresh and
complete, its editorial discussion as able, and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced cotemporary All
