NEW YORK, 26.-Tradstreets says:
The indications of a slight increase in
the volume of general trade and of a
decidedly better feeling in business
circles reported in special kilograms to
Bradstreets last week are not only con-
tirmed, but there is reason to believe the
tendency toward improvement has ex-
tended from the west and northwest and
northwest and south"
K. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: THE Improvement marked
last week has become much more distinct
and general While actual transactions
have increased but little, the change in
public feeling is noteworthy. There are
fewer failures, either of banks or of inn
portant commercial or manufacturing
conccrns, than for some weeks past"

NO QUORUM
The .Io11hr Board EAave an IInfor-

Sickness and absence of members
caused a lack of a quorum yesterday

ard Advisors Sawyer, Gwyn and Mil

talked over informally.
w. 7. Penniman, representing the
property owners on South Main street.
view to learning their opinion of
the friendly suit proposed to be
brought against the city by South Main
street property owners. One point made
by Mr.. Pcnniman was that he objected
to paying benefits assessed against him
by reason of the widening of the street
and then having to pay, in addition to
this, his pro rata share of the damages
awarded to owners on another portion
of the street. The members present cx-
pressed themselves as favoring the suit
proposed, as it seems that suits will be
instituted in any event, and it is pref
cradle to have the question decided if
possible before January, when the first
assessment becomes due. Officially,
however, the Board could take no action.
Dr.. John Hey Williams, the newly
elected member of the school committee,
was sworn in. Mayor Patton then
brought up the question of a committee
man to take the place left vacant by the
dee lination of A. Rankin The Mayor,
falling in with the idea of TIE CITIZEN,
said he hoped the Board could get some
good, practical woman to take the place.
He had taken the liberty of asking Mrs.
II. T. Collins to serve, and that lady ex-
pressed herself as willing to do so were
it not for the fact that she would be
away q great portion of the winter. He
said the Board should act as soon as
possible.
