that few people venture to travel about III
vehicles. unless compelled to do so on
matters Of business. OF course. this puts
a sort OF handicap on business. our farm
er friends are becoming very anxious over
their long resting-spell, on account OF
the wet and inclement weather they have
had ever since December 18th, and are
looking right blue about IL. None OF them
have been able to turn a furrow as yet,
as. of course. no spring oats are yet sown.
The crop Of lambs this season seems TO
be very fine, and they are so far doing
well.

THE FULTON SWITCH.


The street-car switch question was
again taken up, and the committee de-
cIded to visit the ground next Friday,
leaving the City Hall at ; =. M. AZ
o'clock the same night there will be
conference with the street-car people at
the City Hail. The idea OF the Fulton
ties Is to have the cars go down Lester
street. as at present. and come back by
the way OF Williamsburg avenue. The
latter thoroughfare Is beyond the reach
of high water. and In case OF freshet
the service would not be materially In
terfered with, as at present.
MIR. Lawder claimed that as matters
now are that whenever there is any at
traction uptown. such as baseball and
the like not over third OF the cars run
through, but are switched from one track
to the other at Twenty-eighth street. He
maintained that II there was no switch
they would be compelled to run through.
Various other routine matters were con-
sidered after which the committee ad-
journed.
A meeting OF the Committee on Fire
Department was also held yesterday. but
beyond the recommending OF a number OF
building permits nothing Of interest was
done.
