Negligence of wellnigh criminal character
must be imputed to the Building Department for

safety of the LOO children attending Primary

a seyen-story brick building which nearly six
months ago WAS officially declared unsafe and in
danger of falling. the south wall showing bad
bulge. True. it was shored up at the time with
n few wooden beams to prevent as far as pos
sble any collapse pending repair. But since
then nothing has been done TO avert the peril
either by the owner or by the department.
which latter deserves all the more ccnsure in
the matter by reason Of the fact that the build
ing in question occupies the very site Of the one
which collapsed in October. 1894, killing about
dozen people and injuring number more.
Moreover, it would appear that this is by no
means the only structure of the kind in Monroe
81 that is in danger Of falling. and which calls
for immediate action on the part Of our munic-
ipal authorities.

conspicuous features in this direction

Nancy Mann Waddle, with the en-
thusiasm of a true lover of nature,
tells of the beauties Of the wild
flowers of spring and summer. Among
the articles along more serious lines
is Ex-President Harrison's paper on
