SHOULD BE RECORDED.

Controller Morrow Makes = Suggestion
About City ohicials' Bonds.
Controller Morrow sent communication
to Common Council elative to the bonds of
city officials, which he thinks could be made
considerably safer. In his letter he said:
For some time 1 have entertained the
idea as simple business proposition, that
the bonds given by officers or agents Of the
city who are charged in any way with the
receipt or disbursement of public moneys.
should be similar in character to those re.
Quired by the United States Government.
which can be and are entered on record IN
the proper office. which in the case of the
city would be the prothonotary of the
county. If bonds OF this character were re.
quired and there should arise default at any
time the city would have prior Judgment
already on record.
1 desire to say that have no suspicion of
anything being wrong at present, nor that
there is likely to be. The suggestion is NOT
made as specific but generally; and as the
terms of the city officers, repositories, and
chiefs Of departments are nearing an end I
thought this q suitable opportunity to pre-
sent this proposition to your construction,
The letter was referred to the Finance
Committee with instructions to have it
printed for the use of Councils.

deathbed marriage of Miss Kate Norcross,
of Charleston, Me-, to L. P. Rollins, of

will, notwithstanding the denials that there
would be any trouble. The marriage took
place few weeks ago in Roxbury, Boston.
Mr.. Rollins is q travelling salesman. The
ceremony was performed at Miss Kate's re-
quest, only few hours before her death, in
order that she might bequeath to her hus-
band all her property, estimated at $50, 900.
The strange will was filed in the Middle
sex Probate Court, at East Cambridge, and
at the same time Hon. E. F. Webb, of the
law firm of Webb & johnson, of Water.
vile, Me-. filed the necessary papers, or a
suit, to contest its validity on the ground of
undue influence. 1t is said the attending
physicians are ready to testify that Miss
Norcross, or Mrs. Rollins, was not in a fit
condition to make will, and the contest
ants claim that the fact that Mr.. Rollins
was named as sole heir and executor
their case. Twelve cousins are
in the contest.

Objects to High Speed.

In Select DR.. McCord, on q question of
privilege, called attention to resolution
passed at the last meeting authorizing the
Chief of the Department of Public Safety
to inquire into the high rate Of
speed of the cars on the Birmingham Elec-
trio road. He said that so far nothing had

cidents that occurred on the road lately to
show the danger of the fast-running cars
He moved that the Chief of the Depart
ment of Public Safety be instructed to look
into the matter at once and stop the prsc-
tice of speeding the cars at higher rate
