Whereas, The board of public works has
had trouble and embarrassment from the Of
fering of poor material for wooden block
pay for the best material pavement COM
posed too largely of old, inferior wood, in
spite of the best possible endeavors of our in
spectors.
Resolved, That we now, as a finally, hereby
instruct the inspectors that in the future the
material offered for delivery for paving shall
be each load examined while on the
wagon before being unloaded, ard that
unless the material bears evidence
of being composed of recently cut good, live
timber, that the same shall not be permitted
to be unloaded upon the street. The age of
the timber appearing from the bleaching of
the surface and weather-worn appearance,
such as characterizes an old telegraph pole,
and that upon all work where such material
is now upon the ground, that the same be
removed and the work be suspended until
the contractors are able to deliver good,
clean, sound material such as the contract
requires, and the people and city are paying
for.
Resolved. further, that the general charac-
ter of the blocks vet unlaid and before us
on North Twenty second street are not up
to the stands ard required, and must be re-
moved and the work suspended until proper
material Is supplied.
The resolution was adopted unanimously.

BAKING POWDERS ANALYzsD.
Report of Department Of Agriculture


Report of Department. OF Agriculture
Chez lists. ,va.r--Fr-
WASHINGTON, August 30.-The, baking
powder investigator which has been con-
Quoted under the direction of the chemists
of the department of agriculture has been
completed and the results compiled in bulle-
tin form. The analysis of large number of
the various samples of baking powders and
the cor clusions derived therefrom, the re
port says. are not such as to create general
alarm lest the American people should suffer
injury to health from the use of baking pow
der. At the same time they show concius
lively the error of the popular impression pre-
vailing hitherto that all chemicals used in
the production of baking powders are ex-
pclled during the process of baking. AS 10
the character of the residue leftin the bread
and its effect upon the health the bulletin
properly assigns the decision Of that Import
ant point to physicii ms, holding that the
strict line of duty of the chemist ENDS with
revealing the constituents " ftNi@ -
An analysis of twelve powders is given,
their selection being based upon the. proper
tion of carponic acid, which in conjunction
with the minimum of alkaline residue rs the
great test of excelence in baking powders.
Although the Investigations show. that with
even the best OF the tartarlc powders the
residue remaining IN one loaf Of bread pre-
pared with it was of the SAME Character as a
Seidlitz powder, and in quantity exceeding
that of tho ordinary Seidlitz powder by over
so per cent still, in this as IN most cases,
the character of the residue in the proper
tlon found can hardly be regarded as gener-
ally hurtful.
The report says an exception ought to be
made In regard to that class OF powders con-
tanning alum, to which there is more serious
objection. 1t gives some interesting facts as
to the baking powder industry and says the
American people pay at least $25, 900, 900 a
year for baking powder and that the cost to
the manufacturers is less than one-third of
that amount,

CHICAGO, August 30-tSpecial Telegram to
THE BEE This passenger committee of the
Central Traflic' association took no action
to-day, and the consequence is that scapers
are flooded with Unused portions of Grand
Army tickets. The original intention was to

scalpers have not had such harvest in
years. 1t is charged that at least two roads
have sold from their passenger offices to
scalpers the entirb series of excursion tickets
unsold up to sHesterday morning. Should
this prove true it will result in serious com
