BRICK AND ASPHALT
COMPARATIVE COST OF PAYMENTS
LAID IN 1893 AND 1894.
In 1898 Asphalt Cost Nearly $50, 1000 n
Mile, and in 1894 Little More
than $4,000.

Clerk Jefferson, of the bureau of assess
ment is at work upon an exhaustive COM
parative table showing the work done by
the Department of Public Works during
the past year and the comparative cost of
improvements in 1894 with 1898. The re-
port will be ready within a few days.
From the figures already made it is APP
parent that the Board of Works has
brought about material savings to the prop
erty owners in public work. The cleaning
of the streets is the only work upon which
saving is not shown.
In 1893 asphalt streets cost upon av-
erage of $Sl,s0S.05 a mile, and in 1894 the
average rate was but $57, 494.43; the average
rate per foot in 1893 was 1856, and in 1894
$780, AS to brick streets the average cost
per mile in 1893 was $5l,O44.2O. and in 1894
$4S,7S3 in 1893 the average cost per foot
was $6.27, and in 1894 but $451 The other
figures when completed will show the same
favorable decrease. Standing against this
good showing is the STRENGTHENING con-
tracts. Mr.. jefferson says it will be i'm
possible to make comparison between
1884 and 1898, because of the different way
in which the contracts were let. In 1893
1888 miles of improved streets were cleaned
at cost of SO, 10. making an average
cost per mile of s., 222.27, or an average rate
per foot of 1917 cents. In 1894 two separate
contracts were let, one for the earlier part
of the season and the other for the latter
part. The cost for the cleaning under the
first 80 fol- IA miles, an av-
erage cost per mile of $77491, or an average
rate of S1a cents per foot. The. total cost
under the altered specifications for the lat
ter part of the season was $50. $50 36. The
total cost for the year was s49,13435. If as
many miles of pavement had been swept
in 1898 as was swept in 1894 the former
years work would have cost $4,000 more
than the latter Mr.. jefferson says in mis-
report that lie streets have been better
the better work cost more. The figures
for the street sprinkling, which have been
published before, show a great saving.

MIR. RAuH HAS A PLAN.
Will Not Tell How He Expects to Raise
Money for Water Works Purchase.

VIII Not Tell How He Expects to Raise
Money for Water Works Purchase.
The Council legislative committee, which
favors municipal purchase of the water
plant, has under consideration several
propositions whereby the purchase can be
legally made. The city attorney says the
city cannot issue bonds under the present
conditions, because of the constitutional
limit to the Indebtedness. He has not CON-
sidered the other proposition to issue bonds
which shall be liens upon the plant. but
the several propositions will be submitted
to him soon as the committee has
reached more definite conclusions. Mr..
Rauh, of the committee, was about the city
offices yesterday. He seemed very busy
and acted as If he knew great deal which
he could tell If he chose to do So. Mr..
Rauh was asked how the committee hoped
to escape the constitutional limit and raise
money sufficient to make the purchase.
Just wait a few days. he replied with
a knowing glance. THE committee is at
work upon a scheme now which will make
the purchase possible in the near future.
1t is a scheme which has not been sug-
gested or even mentioned in the papers.
We have few more matters to look up
and we desire to consult the city attorney
before telling what it is.

Harry Brown young colored man, was
arrested yesterday afternoon, by detectives
Kinney and Richards and slated as a fu-
gitive. He is thought to be the man who
is wanted for the robbing of the railroad
office at Glenwood. small station near
Rushville, on the night of Jan. 5. Brown
was IN the waiting room at the station
that night when the station agent locked
up. and refused to leave the room. The

broken open and a number of tickets gone

Long Consultation Held. but Will Give
No IntimatiOn of the Result.
The Council investigating committee held
a meeting last evening at the home of Mr..
Merritt land discussed the evidence which
has been given and the recommendations
to be made upon it to the Council. Mem
bers of the committee decline to say what
conclusion, if any, was reached. They say
nothing will be given out until their report
is given to the Council. 1t is understood
that the committee is pretty much of the
same opinion excepting that recommended
lions are to be made regarding the Board
of Public Works 1t is said that two MEM
bers of the committee believe the present
board should be asked to resign. The other
members believe that such stringent meas
ures are unnecessary. They recall the fact
that the board is to be credited with much
good for the city which was not brought
out in the investigation. Mayor Denny still
declines to express any opinion of the in
vestigation, or anything of the probable re-
mnValS.

Courtesies to ministers.

So much has been said in reference to tbe
Withdrawal of clerical orders, or half-fare
permits for the use of clergymen, on the
ground that the privileges had been abused
that the statement of George w. Boyd, as
sistant general passenger agent of the Penn
sylvania, in which he favors continuing the
courtesies, will be read with interest Mr.
Boyd says: There is no foundation what
ever for the statement that clerical orders
have been misused. as far as the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company is concerned Last
year this company issued between 5000 and
1900 orders to clergymen residing on its
lines east and west OF Pittsburg. and no
case OF misuse or abuse of the privilege has

OF people are more careful or the use of
such privileges than ministers of the Gospel.
III there has been any misuse of the or
ders issued by the other lines it is due to the
careless manner in which they have been is
sued, and the blame for their misuse should
be placed upon the railroad, and not upon
the ministers. 1t is an easy matter for the
orders TO get into improper hands unless due
care is observed, and this has doubtless
caused all the trouble. Under our system
orders are issued only to ordained ministers
OF tne Gospel, missionaries and officers of
the salvation Army. Each person must APP
ply TO our local ticket agent, who certifies
the application TO this department. from

sons could not secure an order where such a
system is in vogue.
THE question is in the hands of the trunk

the next few months. This company has al
