A Reporter Visits the New Catholic
Cemetery.

Reporter Visits the New Catholic
Cemetery.
The surveying of the new Catholic
cemetery is progressing rapidly under
direction of Fred Meyers of Naugatuck.
Yesterday afternoon a DEMOCRAT man
drove out to see the cemetery which
will shortly be thrown open for use.
The place is reached after pleasant
two-mile ride by what is known as the
| Cheshire road. The entrance proper
will be on this road and very pretty
one it will be.
The reporter crossed the fields dotted
with woodland and then again with
underbrush to a little spot in the heart
of the place, where he found Mr. Meyers
at work. He was locating the plan of a
proposed artificial lake which will be
in the center of the cemetery. Mr.
Meyers is enthusiastic over the work.
He says that the site is an excellent one
for a cemetery and that the natural
advantages are great. There Is about
twenty three acres of available land
which can be used Immediately if neces-
sary. This land is convenient to the
road, is almost level and will require
little labor to put it into proper shape.
The rest of the land will require much
work, but if the other land is opened up
first it will be years before proceeding
any further.
81 am only making a typographical
survey of the property" said Mr.. Meyers,
land I expect to complete it in about
three weeks. The laying out of the
cemetery proper, will have to be done
after my map is completed"
In response to the inquiry, how many
bodies could be buried in the cemetery,
he said: eve have about rs acres of
land here. In Germany have laid 500
family plots to the acre, allowing six
graves for family. With little figur-
ing you can see that we could, if neces-
sary, find accommodation for nearly
200, 900 bodies"
1t is hard to give clear idea yet of
of the beauty of this place until the sur
completed the surveying for many of the
proposed avenues,

and territories. The largest number of
courts is in New York, where there are
1893, with membership of 90, 1870. Ari-
IONA has only one court, with only 10
members. The junior branch of the
order has 2.708 members, an increase in
two years of SOB. In that time the
branch paid out $1,000 in the form of
benefits.

TYPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY.

The Work as Carried On in the State
of Connecticut.
DR. James H. Chaplin is in Norwich on
a tour of inspection of the work done
by the surveyors on the new Topographic
cal survey. He says the field work is
practically completed. The survey
sheets, with two or three exceptions,
are finished and have been sent to the
commissioner as proof. With these in
hand, they go over the ground to see
that everything is in place, and after
the corrections, if any are made, the
work goes into the hands of the en-
graver and assumes permanent form.
DR. Chaplin has inspected most of the
sheets and an engineer was sent on
from Washington last week to make
such corrections as he had indicated.
This will occupy two or three months
yet, and in course of a year the map
will be engraved. Then it will be
necessary for the legislature to author
ize the publication before it will be
available to the public.

went home. In discussing the PROBABLE

The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-04-15

John c. uaddock, an eminent authority
on the subject of which he writes. thor
oughly informed on every aspect and de-
tail of the business, AYERS that in the
anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania
there are from five to six million tons of
coal, having a clearly ascertained value as
fuel, left as waste each year at those col
lieries. At the minimum rate calculated
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
this would yield for transportation alone
from five to six million dollars, which Mr..
Haddock declares would be almost clear
gain, as it would not require the additional
equipment Of a single car or locomotive.
But the anthracite men will not fix price
upon their output below given fineness,
holding that it would have tendency to
cheaper the regulation sizes, and actually
prefer to waste from 25 to 30 per cent. of
their output. This is a matter Of public
importance and should be subjected to
public regulation. Such waste Of wealth
and lessening OF business can only be
placed in the category of vandalism,
thing which no government should permit.

NATIONAL BANK NOTES TAXABLE.

On the 7th instant Judge Brannon. of
the Jackson county, Iowa. district court,
rendered decision of national interest.
1t related TO the taxation of $4,000 in ma
tional bank notes belonging to a national
bank in Maquoketa. They had been omit
ted by the assessor on the theory that they
were not subject TO municipal taxation,
but were added by the board of equaliza-
ton. and an appeal was taken. Judge
Brannon sustained the action of the board.
and said:
National bank notes are not in any Just aud
proper sense obligations OF the United States
They show upon their face that they are the
obligations of particular banks, TO whom they
have been delivered and by whom they have
been pnt In circulation The government is
bound for their ultimate redemption, but this
redemption is not made by the government out

duty Of the banks to redeem their own circula-
ton rests primarily upon them, and ii is only
when a bank fails or refuses to redeem its own

been stated, il does out of the proceeds of the
