LONG WHIRF CLOSED.
Fire Department Notified of the Change
 in Policy of the Road.


 For several years the old Water street railroad crossing, by which Long wharf was reached, has been practical ly closed, but last evening the fire de- partment was notified that beginning with to-day the gates which have been raised to allow teams to pass over the railroad and thence to the wharf will be replaced with a permanent fence. This arrangement will necessitate the fire engines from the western part of the city going almost mile far ther to reach a fire within the enclosed district The will have to pass over the Water street bridge to Brewery street
 This street is often crowded making the travel difficult. Most of the prop erty in the vicinity belongs to the railroad company. Among the other owners are Sperry & Barnes, Strong, Barnes & Hart, Van Name & King, Lucien Sanderson, E. A. Chatfield & Co. and E. F. Avery.
 A prominent city official said last evening that the step was a wrong one on the part of the railroad company. Fire Commissioner Mcdonald said that he did not quite understand the in tent of the company, but he did not think the fence would stand very long should a fire make its appearance in the freight yard or on Long wharf.

THE WIDENING OF OAK STREET

THE WIDENING OF OAK STREET.
The Democratic campaign against
Mayor Baxter is one of SANDER and
vituperation of insinuation and in
nuendo While the Democratic candi-
date has been treated by his opponents
with fairness and consideration. and
his ability and good character
recognized there has been from the
start chorus of unjust and
unfounded accusations against May
or Baxter from the Democratic press and
Democratic orators. The Democratic
rally in Ward one on Wednesday evening
furnished conspicuous example of this
kind. The attempt was there made
to show that the Mayor was responsible
for the widening of Oak street and that
the AUDITORS were paid too much. The
facts, as all should know, are these:
On May z, 1894 Hon. Mark P. Emery
and others petitioned the city council
for the widening of Oak street, the petit
ton was referred to the committee on
streets, sidewalks and bridges. and An
order was passed directing this commit
tee to investigate the feasibility of widen
ing this street.
On September 8, this committee report
ed that the petition had been referred to
the wrong committee, and an order was
passed referring the petition to the COM
mittee on laying out new streets.
On October Is the committee on laying
out new streets reported that Oak street
ought to be widened, and an order was
passed the same night to widen it, and
also an order to assess damages. On this
the vote in the upper board was yeas 5,
nays 0; and in the lower board yeas 10,
nays S.
On November 5 the Mayor vetoed the
order assessing damages. At the same
meeting the order was passed over the
Mayors veto by a vote of yeas to one
nay in the upper board, aid 10 yeas to no
nays in the lower board.
The value of the land taken by the city
was appraised by three well known citi-
zens, one being chosen by the city, one
by the owners and the third by those two
persons.
After the passage of the order to take
the land under the appraisal the Mayor
vetoed it, thereby doing all that he prop
erly could to prevent the taking of the
land which necessitated extensive chang
es in the plans of the buildings to be
erected and the destruction of valuable
buildings already standing.
Again. Mr.. Llewellyn Barton said at
this Democratic rally that all that Mr..
Baxter has done for the city had Injured
to his benefit Let Mr.. Barton pane a
single thing. The projected boulevard was
suggested. A slight examination of the
plan in the engineers off ce, if the truth
were desired, would show Mr.. Barton
that Mr.. Baxter does not own foot of
land within half mile of the proposed
park. So much for this falsehood of
Mr.. BaTton's; and SO with every other
statement and insinuation made on this
subject both by Mr. Barton and the Ar.
gus They are all false

policy cannot be imagined. A deficiency
in current expenses which should have
been paid out of income for the year was
made up from a fund "for the payment
or the purchase of the capital of the city
debt---and for no other purpose what
ever
Now the truth about this "bold viola
ton" as the Argus calls it, is that City
Auditor Deake carried to the Sinking
Fund, by mistake probably, Sl6s2. SO
which had been collected from sewer
assessments, and which by sta5e law are
to be devoted to paying for the construc-
tion of sewers. To put these assessments
in the Sinking Fund was in direct viola
ton of law, a misapplication of smt ney
raised for one purpose to another. When
Mr.. Deake's mistake was discovered
this order was introduced into the city
council:
In Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
July 3, 1893.
Ordered that the City Auditor be and
is hereby authorized and instructed to
credit the account for drains and sewers
with the sum of $l6S2. 80 and charge the
same to the Sinking Fund account The
above named amount comprises the sum
of $412 OF in 1891 and S1270. go in 1899.
both being the income from drains and
sewers assessments credited to sinking
fund instead of remaining credit of
drains and sewers as per ordinance.
This order was read and passed in the
Board of Aldermen, sent down for con-
currence, CONQUERED in and signed by the
Mayor July 5, 1893.
The order was simply correction of
all illegal transaction that City Auditor
Deake had been guilty of through mis-
take.
Thus another Argus insinuation is dis
