The Water Front.

The Puget Sound Tug Boat Company,
which was organized some time ago, has
incorporated under the laws of the state
with capital stock of $4,000, and will en-
gage in business on June 1. The principal
place of BUSINESS will be in Port Town
send. The stockholders are the Tacoma
Mill Company, the Puget Sonnd Mill Com
pany, the Port Blakeley Mill Company
and the Washington Mill Company. Each
of these companies owned one tug boat,
and those four boats, the Tacoma, Tyee,
Wanderer and Richard Holyoke, have
been appraised and turned over TO the
new company, which will do general
towing business and build, buy and sell
tugs, vessels, etc.
The officers are: Z. p. Blake, president;
Cyrus Walker, vice president; f. q. Ames,
secretary; Wilmer de Witt, treasurer; J.

THE BOARD OF WORKS
The Unhealthy Condition of
Whitechapel.
SEWERAGE BLOCKED BY PlLiNG.
Question rs to the Method of Making
Assessment Ro1ls-Estimates
OF Cost.

ACQUISITION arose as to which office should
make out the assessment roll for street
grading. Hitherto they have been made
by the city clerk as assessor, but since the
adoption of the charter and the front foot
system, the work has been done by the city
engineer as he was the only officer having
the ne essary data.
Maior Rinehart said that would seem to
be the right course to pursue. The board
should keep a record and transmit copy
to the comptroller.
Chairman Cochran thought that was the
best way to do is because it was the only
way.
The following communication was re-
ceived from Health Officer Sparkling:
II respectfully call your attention to the
sanitary condition of the locality known
as Whitechapel. Where formerly the tide
would flow freely and under and about
this place, the dumping of ashes, cinders
and coal dust by the Northern Pacific rail-
road under their track lying between the
bay and the place above mentioned has
blocked up and prevented the water COM
ing in, thereby causing an accumulation
of filth which is highly Objectionable. As
summer advances the danger to the health
",
increases. Immediate steps should be
taken either to prevent the dumping of
manure, garbage and filth, and allowing
the sewerage to run openly, or suitable
drainage should be had whereby this mate
rial could be run into the bay and carried
off with the tide"
The matter was taken under considera-
ton by the board, who will personally ex-
anime the premises today.
Assessment rolls on the following streets
were referred to the council:

strange out-of-the-way places there are un-

An Old Soldier Appointed.

United States Marshal Brown has ap.
pointed an old soldier named Enea Brenna,
as court bailiff for the United States cir
cult court, which is to open June 1. Mr..
Brenna was sergeant in Troop L, First
United States cavalry, from 1861 until
ApriIi9, 1866, and was wounded in the
rightleg at Bull Run, in the left leg at
Anti4am, and at Sharpsburg in the back.

Possible Solution of the Flying Problem

Possible Solution of the Flying Problem.
Mr.. o. Chanute, in an address on aer-
onautics, delivered at Cornell university,
gives it as his opinion that we are near
ing distinct stage in the progress to-
ward a practical system of aerial navl-
CATION. Mr.. Chanute thinks that sue
cess with aeroplanes, if it comes at all,
is likely to be promoted by the naviga
BILE balloon. 1t now seems not lmprobar
BILE that the course of development Will
consist first in improvements OF the bal
loon, SO as to enable it to stem the winds
most usually prevailing, and then in US
ing it to obtain the initial velocity re-
uuired to float aeroplanes Once the
stability of the latter is well demon.
strated, perhaps the gas bag can be DIS
pensed with altogether, and self start
ing, self landing machines substituted,
which shall sail faster than any balloon
ever can.
If we are to judge of the future by the
past, such improvements are likely to be
won by successive stages, each fresh In
ventor adding something to what has
been accomplished before; but still,
when once partial success Is obtained,
it is likely to attract so much attention
that it is not impossible that improve
ments will follow each other SO rapidly
that some of the present generation will
yet see men safely travelling through and
on the air at speedsof fifty or sixty miles
per hour.-New York Commercial Ad-
