BUILDING ORDINANCE.
The necessity of a practical building
ordinance is every day becoming more
apparent, as is evidenced by the cha
acter of buildings erected during the
past wear and others now ia course of
construction. 1t was my intention to
prepare an ordinance for the better reg
%ulation Of the construction OF buildings,
during the past winter, but was pre-.
vented from so doing by the stress of
other work.
FRI ESCAPES.
Ordinance No. LOG, regulating the
erection and maintenance of fire escapes,
provides that the building inspector or
city engineer shall specify what shall
constitute adequate fire escapes neces.
sarv to reduce To a minimum the danger
of loss Of life from fires in all buildings
used in any way for public purposes.
During the past year, in company with
the chief Of the fire department, / have
visited aud examined into the needs Of
various hotels, office, and other buildings
coming under the jurisdiction of this
ordinance and have designated the nun
her and location of escapes necessary to
fulfill the rcquiremen'sof said ordinance.
Az a general thing such orders have
been complied with. There are a few
exceptions. however, cases OF which Will
require prosecution to enforce a full
compliance with the ordinance.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL"
Before the execution Of the annual
garbage disposal contract | would rec
umnend that a more suitable dumping
ground be- selected and an eco
nomical method be devised by
! which offensive rubbish and wastes may
be burned or otherwise disposed OF. The
ordinance regulating the throwing of
waete paper in back yards and alleys
should lee most rigidly enforced.
INVENTORY.
have prepared an inventory Of all
the city property in charge of the city
engineer at the end Of the fiscal year, q
copy of which will be found attached t.
this report,
In conclusion | desire to thank the
mayor and city council for their 60
operation and support and for the uni
form courtesy shown me during the term

Family discipline is still maintained
in some American families. as Of course
il ought 10 be in all. The Rehoboth
Herald furnishes All instance. A small
boy got a silver IN his foot, according 70
The Herald, aud his mother expressed
her intention Of putting a poultice on
the wound. The boy, with the natural
foolishness which is bound up in the
heart Of a child, objected to the proposed
remedy.
81 won't have any poultice, he de-
clared.
''Yes, You will, said both mother
and grandmother firmly. The majority
was two to one against him, and at bed
time the poultice was ready.
The patient was not ready. On the
contrary, he resisted so stoutly that a
switch was brought into requisition. 1t
was arranged that the grandmother
should apply the poultice, while the
mother, with uplifted stick, was TO stand
at the bedside. The boy was told that if
he "opened his mouth he would re-
ceive something that would keep him
quiet.
The hot poultice touched his foot, and
he opened his mouth.
You he began.
Keep still, said his mother, shak-
ing her stick, while the grandmother APP
piled the poultice.
Once more the little fellow opened
his mouth.
Up
But the uplifted switch awed him in
to silence.
In minute more the poultice was
firmly in place, and the boy was tucked
in bed.
"There, NOW, said his mother. "The
old silver will be drawn out, and Ed
dies foot viii be all well.
The mother and grandmother We're
moving triumphantly away when a
shrill voice piped from under the bed

Sir Charles Rivers Wilson. the New Presl-
dent of the Grand Trunk Railway.
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, the new
president of the Grand Trunk railway,
is one of Great Britain's most eminent
financiers. He recently came from Lon
don to America to investigate the affairs
Of that great Canadian thoroughfare
with the view of placing the property
on substantial paying basis. For some
time. it appears, the affairs of the road
have been in rather bad way. This is
Sir Charles second visit to this conti-
nent on mission connected with rail
road financiering. He came here year
ago as the representative of European
stockholders of the Central Pacific rail-
road, having in charge the interests Of
some $52, 900. 900 belonging to foreign
investors in American securities.
Until recently Sir Charles Rivers
Wilson was comptroller general of the
British national debt-an Office which
he had held since 1S73--and had charge
of funds amounting to the stupendous
total Of e24O, 900, 900, or about 81 AGO.
