Estimated Costs OF Grading Pre-.
pared by the City Engineer.

The following communication in ref
erence to the cost OF grading the ap-
proaches to the Bloom avenue culvert
was yesterday prepared by City En-
gineer Phillips for presentation at to-
morrow nights meeting of common
council:
Gentlemen of Councils: In answer to
a resolution requesting me to estimate
the cost of grading the approaches TO
Bloom avenue culvert, will state that the
necessary grading at the culvert, so that
the street may be used at that point, will
cost about $610. For a permanent grade
from Block street to Warren street 1t will
cost about 81, 5S1.75.
Before any work is done, under either
estimate, it will be necessary to secure
releases from the property owners releas-
ing the city from any damages which
might arise from said grading.

A SUBLIME DUTY.
Even had there been twenty wars. we
must not forget our duty 10 our llyins
and dead heroes The man who would
negIect this holy duty Is unworthy the
name of American" The people who
forget their heroes and history will In
time be forgotten. for they will inglo-
riously perish from the face Of the earth.
In our holy reverence for our dead and
care for our living heroes We honor our
race and our nation. The bond or our
allegiance to the restored Union Is sealed
by our devotion and reverence Tor our
living and dead. and IL IS this Cod
given virtue which challenges and COM
pels the respect OF our former foes-noW
our brethren-and of mankind.
1t is a sublime duty for a people TO
consecrate their lives for the succOr OF
their living heroes and perpetuauon OF
the fame OF their glorious dead.
The General Commanding Will faithful
ly devote the few remaining years OF MS
life to this sacred purpose and for the
upbunding and glory Of our common
country: therefore.

It is proposed that the government re-

idea is a good one. and will meet the
