COMMUNICATION.

EDITOR FREE PRESS "A few years
stone culvert was built over Guenther
creek, and the whole cost of the
culvert was charged up against the
adjacent property owners by special
assessment. C
Can you inform me why the same
rule is not followed when stone
culverts are built over the Warren
creek? Is the Warren creek because
it flows past several churches regarded
as more sacred that the Guenther
creek which is only famous because it
flows through the ''Syrian Colony. and
past the brewery? Are the adjacent
property owners compelled by the city
council and board of public works to
pay for the building of stone bridges
over Guenther creek because it's
waters are contaminated, while the
same honorable and discriminating
official hasten to pay for bridges built
over the Warren creek out of the
general funds Of the city treasury, be-
cause it's waters are holy? Only one
year ago the council arbitrarily spent
much money in improving the road
between Swanson's ice house and the
Blue Earth bridge, and compelled the
AUDITING property owners to pay for
the improvement. This improve
ment was not needed very badly and
was not asked for or desired by the
property owners. Poplar street needs
to be graded up and improved, and
the AUDITING property would be made
more valuable by so doing.
Do you know of any reason why
such improvement should not be paid
for by special assessment on the
property benefited, and not by the
city at large? And finally, can you
tell me why the street force has been
kept at work so much of the time in
past years in making Improvements on
streets at the expense of the city,
when the cost ought to have been
paid by special assessments on property
benefited, while in many other similar
cases the owners of the AUDITING
property have been compelled to pay
for such Improvements?

THE STUDY OF GENEALOGY.
Revival of Interest In Family History
and Its Cause and Effect.

The recent growth and increase of
societies in which eligibility to mem.
bership depends upon the deeds of
ancestors rather than upon any per-
sonal qualifications of member, has
resulted in a great revival Of the
study of genealogy in this country.
We have the Sons and Daughters of
the Revolution, the Society of Colonial
Wars, Society of the War of 1872,
Colonial Danes, Society of the May
flower Descendants, Holland Society
and others, organized and organizing.
To become member of any of these,
a record of the family history is
required.
1t is an injustice to characterize
this movement as merely a society
fad or passing fancy. 1t is much
more. 1t stimulates desire for
genealogical and historical research,
a pleasing and interesting study. 1t
leads to a proper respect for ones an
cestors, and creates desire to
emulate their work for the good of
ones family and country. 1t revives
an interest in American history, and
promotes patriotism, good citizenship
and love of country. Therefore, the
movement is one to be commended,
and thousands are now making a
study of their family history. In fact,
every person should compile and
preserve such family record, for it
may be of great value to future
generations, if not to themselves.
Foremost among journals to aid in
extending this interesting study is
The Mail and Express, which main
tains weekly department devoted to
queries for family records and replies
thereto. The department is open to
any one who wishes to make use of it.
In this connection that paper is print
ing long series of articles devoted to
the history of the families and
descendants of the Signers of the
Mayfiower Compact, which are parti-
cularly timely just at present.
