No objection to the Ordinance.

To correct wrong impression gained
from our report of President Jepson's
remarks at the Council meeting on Tues
day evening, we will state that in re-
ferring to the direct tax levy as what he
believed should be inserted in the cleo
trio light ordinance he was in nowise
endeavoring to block the passage of the
ordinance, but simply calling attention
to technical and long-established Gus
tom whereby the provisions for pay
ment of bonds are inserted in all ordi-
nances Of this character, which feature
had been inadvertently omitted.

An Elevator Gate.

There is now in operation in the store
of L. s. Delaplain, Son Il Co., on Main
street, a sort of a guard gate in connec-
ton with the elevator in use AT this eS-
tablishment. 1t is an automatic ar
rangement, and works admirably.
There is a gate for each floor, and they
move in accord with the elevator. When
the elevator is even with any floor, the
gate is up but the moment it moves
away from level the gate descends,
preventing any one from falling into
the run. This is convenience that has
long been needed, and one that is likely
to o5viate many unpleasant occurrences

The City.s Fire Plugs.

The chief cause of the delay at the
Holman fire in CaldwelPs run yeSter-
day morning was the inability Of the
6remen to find the fire plug, which had
been accidentally covered over with
dirt and rubbish to such an extent that
only the top plate showed above the
surface Of the ground. For this reason
it required considerable searching to
locate it. This is not the first time 1t
has occurred, as Chief Healy has
several times given notice Of similar
condition of the plugs in other parts of
the city.
CHER Healey is OF the opinio2 that
the fire plugs instead of. being under
the supervision of the Water Board as
at present, should be under the care
and attention of the fire department
who could tend to them regularly, and
thus facilitate the workings Of the de-
partment. In other cities this arrange
ment prevails, and such is the import
apce attached to the matter in Pitts
burg, that an office, the superintendent
cv of hydrants, is created for this pur-
pose.
Chief Healy will soon have map
drawn up showing the exact location OF
all the hydrants. and have one placed
in all the engine houses for the con-
vepience Of the fremen.

Who's to Blame?

10 ne Editor of the Register.
SIR: Is it the duty of the Health OF
ficer TO respect anonymous communica-
tions rejecting upon the condition OF
premises of citizens? If he does this
he'll have every mean, and malicious
person in the city making petty and un-
reasonable complaints, thereby putting
good citizens to unnecessary expense
and annoyance. A case of this charac-
ter came under my notice in regard to
the privy vault at 1858 Main street.
The property owner was notified by the
II. o. to clean the same on the strength
OF an anonymous communication. The
vault was cleaned, and less than bar
rel of soil was found therein, simply be-
cause it had been cleaned year ago.
The rentor of the premises had not
complained, but on the contrary was
provoked that he should be annoyed by
such unnecessary work. Hoping you
will publish the above, am X.
