RIGID
is
Imposed
ON CONSOLIDATED.
Must Clean Street of Snow
and Sprinkle it.

A good many members of the city
government feel that the Consolidated
road has all the rights it deserves in
the public streets. Some of these
members find fault because the road
has so much power. The heads of de-
partments also have something to say
about the road now and then. This
hostility to the road and the attempt
to make it assume additional obliga-
lions has progressed steadily, and from
time to time additional obligations
have been imposed.
The decree granted last Monday
night for tracks on Curtis street and
thence westerly to the car house of the
company is a corker. Evidently ev-
ecything that could be thought of has
been embodied and several additional
conditions thrown Ia to be sure that
enough is asked.
The decree passed the board Monday
without a murmur. Everybody was
satisfied, some grimly So The decree
is a lengthy affair, and there are sew
enteen conditions. 1t is not surprising,
in consequence, that the special feat
ures Of the decree have not been made
public as yet.
1t will afford some people much salts
faction to know that in this decree the
road is to remove the snow from the
entire street, and to sprinkle the
street, also, should the board so de-
eide.
In addition to these two conditions,
all the others ever demanded before
are imposed, 1t will be readily seen
that the road is doing its duty on this
particular line.
1--WE put in everything we could
think Of" remarked a member of the
city government to a Spy man yester-
day I'VE won't have any trouble
about snow on that street. and when
it comes time to grant other wishes we
will see that this precedent is main
tained''
And it really looks as If the alder
man was right.
The new clauses which have been
added are as follows:
SiXth-The said company shall
keep the streets in a safe and con-
venient condition for travel while
laying its railway, and shall save
the city harmless from all losses or
damage resulting from failure to do
so, and shall leave the streets in good,
safe condition and to the satisfac-
ton of the said street department.
The company shall remove the snow
from the entire street to the accept
ance of and as may be directed by
the said street department, and
wherever surface water way collect
as obstructed by occasion of the con-
structions of said company means
for its disposal shall be provided as
said street department may direct,
at the expense of said company.
SeVenteenth-If in any year the
city shall determine that said street
or any portion thereof over which
this location is granted shall be
watered, said company shall pay
such portion of the expense of said
watering borne by the city as shall
be determined by the board Of al
dermen, such payment to be made
in the month of October each year.

A charming feature of the recent
convention in Queensland, Australia,
was the building of a pledge tower by
one thousand juniors. The tower was
feet high, 5 feet wide, and / foot deep
built of cardboard blocks covered
with bright granite paper. Each block
was so lettered that when all were in
place the pledge was seen inscribed
on the tower the three capstones ad-
ding the three graces, Faith" Hope"
and Love" The exercise was arrang-
ed by General Secretary Scott, and was
a great success. The oolors OF the
convention were cardinal and light blue
and made the church decorations very
beautiful.
OF Christian Endeavor in Concord, N.
H., refor@latory. the chaplain, W. J.
BOtt, says I'VE have the same En-
deavor pledge, although necessarily it
bears upon us a little differently at
some points. Our regular Endeavor
service is held every week, on Wednes-
day evening, after supper, and before
the school hour which is near z
o'clock. Our number of members has
rarely been over 80 or 40~at any one
time, although there are about one
thousand in the prison. But 1T must
be remembered that it takes time for
prisoners to get acquainted with their
new conditions. 1t takes time to sift
out the new men and test them, and
find out who are genuinely interested,
and even then one of our difficulties is
that men want to join for the sake of
getting out of their rooms. and of writ
ing home that they have Joined the so
ciety and of fancying that becoming a
member changes them"
