THEY NEED THE RACES.
Inducements offered Horsemen by the
Kent County Fair Directors.

Kent county Gair directors.
The Kent County Fair Directors ap-
pear TO realize that something must be
done TO maintain the prestige Of their
fairs against the competition IN the
business, which seems about 70 msteri-
alize in the shape of revival of West
Michigan fairs. They also realize that
a fair minus the attraction of good
horse-racing, cannot be successful. To
that end they have made the Grand
Rapids Horsemen's Association an
offer to give them the use Of their new
driving park at the Vanderpool site,
free of charge. The offer applies both
TO the Horsemen's June meeting, and
the fair races next fall.
A prominent member of the Horse
mems Association said last evening,
that there was no likelihood of the
of the offer being accepted. The
Horsemen, he said, were almost unani-
mously in favor Of the Comstock site,
and would have gladly amalgamated
with the Kent county people, had they
not persistently rejected II.
Director Mech said that the Kent
county directors do not feel antagon-
istic to the West Michigan and its
friends, but. on the contrary, they hope
to see both fairs successful. He says
they will do nothing 10 retsrd the
progress of the fair at the ComsiOck
site should il be inaugurated. The
Kent county people are confident that
they have the best location and race
course first-clsss IN every respect, with
good facilities for reaching Il when the
time comes. They profess 10 be en-
tirely willing to abide the result.

There will be no session of the License
Court to-day. On Monday the Court will
hear the last u applicants from the Four
teenth ward, beginning with james Mad
den, and ali nom the Fifteenth and Six
teenth wards, IS in all. Yesterday 6S ap-
plicants were heard. Few of them were
native Americans, nearly all being either
Irishmen or Germans. Quite number OF
the applicants from the Twelfth ward are
Hebrews.
The speak-easy list was several times re-
terred to, but no applicant would admit that
he had sold illegally. One old German
gentleman became very indignant and de-
clared that he could lick the man who put
him on the speak-easy list.
For citizens of the Thirteenth ward, At
torney Christy made vigorous fight sgalnst
all the applicants from that ward.
The Judges were furnished carefully pre-
pared ward maps by Mr.. A. Y. Lee, and
during the day they carefully marked the
location of ali the proposed drinking houses
on these maps.
Judge Ewing shows a decided objection
to the location of any saloon in the vicinity
of a school or church. One of his holdings,
that a proprietor ought to pay more atten-
tion to his dining loom than to his bar
room, is generally criticised by attorneys,
who hold that such notion is contrary to
human nature Both of the Judges give
much regard 10 the reputation of house,
holding that to be almost as vital as the
reputation of the man.

has been made. The experimental period has
passed, and results show that the system now
in vogue has been merely shaped to give practi-
cal effect to laws calculated to provide Tor sue
cesSful growth of any proportions.
The various bureaus into which the Depart
ment of Public Works is necessarily divided
in the accomplishment of the common purpose
of the department, the means of which is de-
pendent upon the intelligent discharge of their
several duties
ESPECIALLY JEALOUS.
The Bureau of Engineering and Surveys has
been especially Jealous and efficient in the DeES
formance of its work. The chiefs and subordi-
mates of every grade have been so conspicu-
ously devoted to duty as to challenge my
heartiest admiration and TO bespeak for them
here public commendation which they have
honestly earned and richly deserved. 1t gives
me pleasure to say that in this regard the other
bureaus of the departments viz, Highways
and Sewers, Water Supply and Distribution,
w ater Assessments and City Property, have
been emulous of the example of the officials of
the Bureau of Engineering and Surveys, and
that In every respect their duties have been
zealously and effectively discharged.
Mr.. Bigelow then calls attention to the
Bureau of Engineering and Surveys, and
says that the increased appropriation is
asked for on account of the multiplying de-
mands of the people. In referring to the
Bureau of Highways and Sewers he lays
particular stress on the fact that this bureau
is unjustly criticised for the deplorable con-
dition of the streets, when in almost every
instance it is the fault of the people. The
Bureau of Supply and Distribution is COM
plimented, and he says that the work done
by this bureau is most effective. The Bureau
of Water Assessments. the City Property
and Public Lighting bureaus are also COM
plimented. In referring to the Board of
Viewers he says this bureau is independent
of his department. He says the work done
has been greater than ever before.

CHIEF BIGEL0W'S REPORT,
Work of the Department of Public Works

Work of the Department of Public Works
for the Past Yenr-The Cify's Welfare
Always Considered-Demands on the
Depnrrment-How They Have Been Met.
Chief Bigelow, of the Department of Pub
lie Works, handed in his report for the past
year to Councils yesterday afternoon. The
report in substance is as follows:
You will find herewith, presented in accord
ance with the law, the report of the Depart
ment of Public Works for the year ending
January 81, 1890. In preparing the details an
earnest effort has been made to combine COM
prehensiveness with breVity, so that as little of
your time as possible might be taken. There
has been no year in the previous history of
Pittsburg when the scope of the work neces-
sary to be done by a department of this kind
has been so extensive as during the period cov-
cred by the report laid before you. The stable,
permanent growth OF the city has far exceeded
the most liberal estimate and the outlook for
the immediate future is that this will not only
continue, but that its proportions will be
largely extended.
The demands upon the facilities of the de-
partment were unprecedented, but they have
been successfully met; but the forces put at
my service by the new charter and the various
ordinances which have been given and existed
from time to time as enabling powers, are re-
quired by the provisions of the general law.
NECESSITY DISCOVERED.
The result of the experiences of the year has
been to conclusively prove that without an
exact GENERALIZATION of authority, the affairs of
this department. would have become hopelessly
tangled, and that the proper administration of
its duties would have been impossible under
the old system. The progressive impetus of the
city would have been seriously impeded, not to
say wholly checked. A reference to the condi-
tion from which the city has emerged is made
here chiefly to emphasize the fact that in adopt
ing metropolitan methods to meet the emer-
gencies Of our rapid developments no mistake
