Finance Board Appropriate
Money for the Filling
In of Mill Creek.
PRAISE FOR THE BOARD OF WORKS
Wanser Active in Pushing
the Improvement = Cost
of the Work.

The Finance Commissioners at a meeting
last evening put tine finishing touches t6the
plan which will soon make Disease breeding
Mill Creek a thing of the past.
The Street and Water Commissioner at
their meeting last Tuesday recommended
that the filthy creek, which for years mas
caused a steady decrease in property values
and increase in sickness within a radius OF
| five blocks of it, be filled in and a As inch
iron pip be constructed in its stead. Mayor
Wanser commended that the creek, running
through the very heart of the city IS a dls-
grace. He has been supported in his opln-
ion by every property owner in the city ana
| every person interested in it's advancement.
The suggestion to fill in the creek was hailed
with delight, and he soon found that he mad
the earnest cooperation of the public gen
orally.
OBSTACLES IN THE WAY.
There were many things to be done before
the old creek would be wiped out OF exist
ence. 1t was a natural waterway and was
an outlet for the Hill sewers. To fill 1t in
Legislative relief was necessary. The Mayor
was untiring in his efforts to procure all the
required Legislation. Once secured the
Street and Water Commissioners took the
matter in hand and much credit is due to
them for the manner in which they have
| pushed his important improvement along.
A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
The creek at present is choked up and the
decayed animal and vegetable matter along
| its banks renders life near it dangerous.
The health officials characterized 1t a public
| nuisance and menace to health.
Chief Engineer Ruggles has a an
estimate of the probable cost of the work
and places it at s2S,395, made up in this
| manner
Earth filling, $500; basins, 5000; man
holes. $50: masonry, 1878: timber, 5000:
| pipes and other work, 1923, 1870.
WILL BEGIN AT ONCE.
The Street and Water Commissioner Will
receive bids for the work as soon as prac-
ticaple. No time will be lost in completing
this great work. The present intention of
the commissioners is to extend the pipe
| sewer to New York Bay. 1t was originally
| planned to connect it with the main sewer
in Grand street.
The Board also concurred in resolutions
awarding to w. W. Farrier contracts for
the furnishing OF general supplies at Belle
vile and High Service; John Fox, water
| pipe; join Hopkins, laying water pipe;
| Wood & Menagh, paint; D.. d. Clark,
cement, and steam fittings to w. IL. Black
shaw.

WHY THE THISTLE Is THE
EMBLEM.

An old legion traces the origin of the
thistle as the emblem of the Scottish
kingdom to the far-away time when the
Danes were invading the country. On a
lark night, runs the story, as they were
advancing to attack an encampment of
Scots one of them trod on a thistle, and
the thoughtless exclamation which fol
lowed awakened the slumberers, who,
%springing to arms, defeated their assail-
ants. In gratitude for this delivefance
the flower of the thistle was adopted as
the national emblem.
