STREET CLEANING.
Citizens Who Declare That It Is
Being Faithfully Done.

Complaint was recently made by
Street Commissioner Croly that a. MAJ
zini was not doing the work of street
cleaning according to the terms of his
contract. To meet this charge Mr.. MAJ
Zini has obtained the affidavits of doz-
ems CT citizens living on the lines of
the bituminized streets, who declare
that the streets are swept twice each
day and the work well and neatly done.
The testimony Of these people is pub
lished III another column and il cannot
fail 70 satisfy any fair-minded person,
who may have been misled, that the
paved streets are as we'll cleaned as the
contract demands Not until the pres
ent system was inaugurated had the
streets been kept in anything like de-
cent condition.
If the new Street Commissioner Will
now see that the sprinkling is properly
done-which has not heretofore been
the case-the hand sweeping can ac-
complish even better results There
should be no flooding or drenching per-
nlittsd, but a very light spray, put on
short time before the sweepers come
along would aid the brooms and shovels
in taking up the dirt more effectually.

FISHING LICENSES.
There Are No Blanks, and No

But another section of the statute
provides that all such license blanks
shall be printed at the State Printing

In the matter of the estate of Archer
kincaid, a minor. That portion of the
decree determining that the guardian
has properly disbursed all the estate in
his hands as guardian affirmed; that
portion adjudging and determining that
his former ward is indebted to the
guardian reversed. Van Fleet and Nc
Farland, j. j., dissent.
The finding that the ward reached his
majority on a certain date is a deter
mination that the guardianship ceased
at that time.
Where, at the time a ward reaches his
majority there is no estate belonging
to him in the hands of the guardian, an
agreement between the former ward
and his late guardian that the guard
ianship shall continue and that as
guardian the late guardian shall care
for and educate the ward is only an
agreement for Announcements.
No jurisdiction is given the Probate
Court to ascertain a balance against a
former ward, except as that will tend
to show what the guardian must pay
or deliver to his former ward. 1t is in
the nature of proceeding in rem. and
the estate is the res, and, after major
ity, the only matter of which the court
has jurisdiction.
AS the accounting is in the nature of
a proceeding in rem, a finding that the
former ward is indebted to the former
guardian has no force or effect in an in
dependent proceeding. 1t can affect the
estate only, and would not even be evil
dence to charge the ward in another
proceeding.
