AMONG CITY OFFICES.

Mayor Smith is still unable to be at
his office, although convalescent. 1t is
expected that he will be at his desk
tomorrow. Secretary Carson yesterday
posted notice calling for information
as to the whereabouts of Mrs. Richard
Greer, who formerly resided with the
family of the late Edmund Rice.
Friends in Canada are anxious to locate
her.
The board of public works is having
plenty of fun over the reaSSeSSment for
the Mississippi street widening. AL
though the board twice notified the
council that the reassessment could not
be made so as to hold in court, the lat
ter body ordered il made. Now that
the reaSSesSment is completed and con-
firmed, the council yesterday arrested
all action Of the board of public works
in the matter. The question which is
causing all this annoyance is, where to
get the 900 necessary to pay additional
damages allowed by the district court in
the matter of widening Mississippi
street, from Grove to the railroad. As
the matter now stands it is in the hands
of the street and ways and means COM
mittees of the council, the city attorney
and the city engineer This special
reference board will meet and consider
the matter on the first Monday in April.
They will probably decide to annul the
reaSSeSSment and pay the $4,000 damages
out of the general fund.
The warm. spring-like weather made
business pick up little in the building
inspectors department yesterday. Dur
ing the day nineteen permits were is

this time of the year. Z. l.. Gardiner

elegant buildings to be erected on the

One is brick tenement row, to cost
$4,000, and the other twO-Stary frame
dwelling, to cost $1,000.
The health department reports diph-
iberia at 409% Park avenue and MEM

A Satisfied Man.
Did you ever see him? 1t seems as if
the search for him would be more hope
less than DiogeneS' quest. One man is
saving money to build a house; an
other is trying to sell his for less than it
cost. This young man is spending all
the money he can earn in theater tick
cts, bouquets and livery hire to per-
Suade girl to marry him; that middle
aged man is paying lawyers big money
to get a divorce. The Eastern man
wants to go West; the hungry and crop
less Western farmer wishes he could go
back to the old home in the East. Farm
ers wish they had a soft snap keeping
store; the merchant with notes coming
due in the bank wishes he could have as
easy time as ''that old Granger" The
children are in hurry to be ''grown-up
folks" The old people would like to
be young again. However. the above
does not show that all are dissatisfied
