The Lowell street school House.

The new shool house at the West End,
on Lowell street, is progressing rapidly.
The contract calls for it to be finished
February 22d, and it will be ready by
that date. But the completion of it is
conditional, after all. The city govern
nent appropriated $1,000 for beginning
new school house, not with the idea Of
remodelling the old one. The cost OF
the work now in progress will be not
tar from $4,000 The builders contract
is almost $12, 900 and that does not in
clude boilers and heating apparatus.
This sum will have to be paid down
when the school house is finished.
Hence it will be necessary for the city to
provide about $4,000 more. There are
no available finds to draw upon for this
amount and possibly the city will have
to run in debt to that extent and rely on
the next city government to make up
the deficit. 1t is not to be supposed that
they will allow the work on the new
school house to stop for want of funds,
when it is needed SO badly

SUPERIOR COURT.

FRIDAY-Empire Laundry Machinery Com
pany VS.. Ann II. Watts. In April 1892 the
plaintiffs, after negotiation through their man,
ager, shipped to Walter H. Thomas lot Of
laundry machinery of the value OF $500. They
sent man to set it up. but when it was at
tempted to start it, it was found thai the engine
was not of sufficient power. Pending the pro
Cannon, the surviving partner, claimed the
machinery as the property of the partnership
and sold it under a license from the probate
court to this defendant. The Empire Laundry
Company repieyied it from her on the ground
that the machinery was never sold to Thomas
but sent hun under lease; that is If it proved
satisfactory to him he was to give q lease pay
ing for it In installments In the usual manner,
but having died before the machinery could be
started no written lease was ever executed
The precise question in the case therefore is
whether the property was leasedto Thomas OF
was an outright sale on credit. On trial.

In response to requests from the house
committee on postoffices and postroads as
to the effect of 1-cent postage Postmaster
General Wanamaker has answered that
from the best figures and estimates in the
hands of the department the reduction of
the postage to l cent would result in a re-
duction of the income of the postoffice de-
paltmen this year to the amount of

reasonably be expected that the stimulus
OF lower rates would result in something
more than normal growth of the business,
it is not probable that the revenue derived
from the extra business would at the pres
ent time, compensate for the loss incurred
through a reduction of rate. The postmas-
ter general is in favor of a reduction of let
ter postage at the proper time, but does
not believe it has yet arrived
