Assemblyman Sullivan is never weary of in
PRODUCING Objectionable bills. One of his re-
cant exploits in that department of activity is
the introduction of a measure making it mis-
demeanor for any city official to take any action
upon anonymous communications, or even to
investigate such complaints. II this bill should
become a law the Health Department would
be crippled in its operations. 1t often receives
information of great value concerning nui-
sances and abuses in anonymous letters. Many
persons who have just causes OF grievance
against powerful corporations and individuals
hesitate to make complaints of wrong-doing
and against nuisances over their own names.
The enactment of Mr. Sullivan's bill would dis
courage tenants from appealing to the Board
of Health against unjust and oppressive land
lords who violate the sanitary laws. 1t would
hinder ill-used employees from telling the truth
about tyrannical employers. 1t would tend 70
obstruct the work of the Fire Department and
that of the Department Of Buildings. Informa-
ton as to unsafe buildings, as to departures
from the law in putting up structures, concern

The lunatic asylum in New Hampshire which
burned on Thursday night with such deplorable
results-forty three of the helpless inmates
losing their lives in the fiery furnace in which
they were imprisoned-was veritable death
trap. II was a wooden structure, standing by
itself, and there was no apparatus for extIn-
gushing fires within distance of four miles.
The inadeQuacy of the stairways and the need
Of fire-escapes had been impressed upon the
officials by legislative committee, but without
effect. The STAFFORD County authorities are
really guilty of criminal carelessncss in main
tanning such an institution.

The winter manoeuvres inaugurated by the
military authorities at ST. Petersburg have now
been introduced BY the German and AnstTan War
Departments, with the object OF keeping pace
with Russia. Marching exercise has been taking
place in Transylvania at time when the Their
moneter marked nearly fifty degrees Fahrenheit
below freezing point and the result has been that
in one infantry regiment alone hundred and four
teen men have had their faces, feet and hands 50
seriously frostbitten as TO make it necessary to
send them to tho hospital Moreover IL is pro-
posed that troops of all arms should camp in
tents IN the open during the severest frost. The
object Of this, is 10 accustom the men TO military
operations in winter, the opinion prevailing at

business men and politicians set about dong
niece of work! The committee appointed by
Mayor Body to investigate the charges against
the Brooklyn Fire Department consists OF three
well-known business men. Without wasting any
time in preliminaries. they settled down to work
at their first meeting, after receiving authority
TO make the investigation. and already they have
made marked progress. Their course is in graft
fying contrast with the usual method of con-
Quoting inquiries by legislative committees. This
committee has no object but TO get at the facts,
no axe to grind, no partisan end in view. 1t

MARKET STREETS GRADE.
The Spring Valley Company Said to
Favor Its Change.

1t was reported at last nights meeting of
the Market-street Improvement Club, held
at 1880 Market street, that several Of the
opponents TO the lowering and change of
grade for Market street, west of Valencia.
would withdraw their opposition if they
were given assurance of indemnity. II was
decided to notify proper ty-ownerS along the
line that the law provided for this.
G. II. Gerwin told OF an interview with
Charles Webb Howard, president of the
Spring Valley Water Company. which is in
favor of the improvement and will join the
petition If there should be majority who
desire the change of grade.
President Howard also declared that the
Spring Valley Company would abstain
from putting new reservoir on the hill
above the Market-street cut il the super
vsoTs favor the cutting down OF the grade.
The Reservoir Hill property would in that
event also disappear and be leVeled TO con-
form to the new grade.
The action OF the Street Committee in
deciding not to order the change of grade
until majority of those interested sign a
petition 10 that effect was discussed at
| length. The club decided TO have new
petition drawn up, and those who desire
the improvement are TO be given an Oppor-
tunity to put themselves on record.
The definition of the district liable to be
assessed for any damages which may accrue
also occupied the time of the meeting.
Several taxpayers advocated the fixing of
n large district, but in this we're opposed by
&. 5. HOeber, who warned those present
that Mission prOperty-OwnerS were dis
trustful of and had II sufficeHcy of assess
ment districts and commissions. 1t was de-
cided TO heed these remarks, and the opinion
was then expressed that the dis trict should
not extend on either side Of Market street

She walked demurely, yet with an easy

was pretty and she cut rather a wide swath
