Benwood just at present. At least, IN
one particular line. II has just been
discovered by some of the mathemat-

opportunity for an increase OF perhaps
90 all of which could do big trade, and
none of the old ones would suffer.
The people owning and using stables
along Alley A, complain that some one
IS stealing grain and feed from Their
stables The thefts have been perpe-
Tated quite frequently, and If the ma
rauders are captured it will be extremely
unhealthy for them.
Marked Improvements have been re-
Gently made at the BenWOod and Bel
laire ferry landing at BenwO0d. 4
good, first class, hard. dry pavement
has been made down to the river, and the
landing has been thoroughly lighted.
These Improvements have sincerely ap-
preciated by the travelling public.
The requirements Of the ordinance in

ferry.
There is considerable complaint
among the citizens of the town about
