figures of land damages are far out of
the way.
An instance which was mentioned to

amounted to $4,000. Land damages Are
always in excess of the estimate, and

petent to perform the work as the man

might have, but they judge that what

east OF the Bigelow monument. A city
nan official remarked yesterday to one
of the commissioners that it would be
cheaper for the city if the bandstand
was placed on wheels. if it is to be
moved from point to point every sum-

THE MAYOR is BUSY.

Mayor Rufus B. Dodge, Jr., has been
one of the busiest men in the city for
several weeks past with the pressure
of city business, and he won't be at
all displeased when matters settle
down to the regular routine and al
low him a few days respite. Engi-
neering considerable portion of the
work of the grade crossing commission,
has taken up time which necessitates
working overtime at other matters, and
1t is o'clock every evening when he
leaves his office.
He took the estimates of appropria-
tons of heads of departments under
consideration yesterday, and for a cou-
pie of hours was in consultation with
City Auditor John 3. B.Nker and City
Treasurer Fred w. White, who figured
up various totals at his request in or
der that he may act with better I'M
derstanding on the estimates.
There will be considerable cutting
lfOin the figures that the heads of de-
partments have turned in by force of
necessity, as the amount of money
which can be raised by the tax levy
the coming year is Jess than the total
estimates. The cutting will be done
in those departments where the expen-
ditures are flexible and where there is
no immediate and absolute necessity
for the work contemplated. The report
Will be submitted to the city council
Monday evening.

If Knight Could But
Light It.
MANY SUGGESTIONS
Are Offered By Many Sym
pathizing Friends.

Henry A. knight, superintendent of
Iightlng streets, is not a man to be en-
wed in connection with the project for
Illuminating the city hall clock. About
every man in Worcester of his acouain-
lance has given the project careful con-
sideration, and has hit on plan which
can be easily figured out as the only
real thing, and whose success cannot
Tor a moment be doubted. Naturally.
every one of them desires to give Mr..
Knight the benefit of their thought, and
II takes him about twice as long to get
TO his office as usual on account of their
desire to impress their plans on him.
IL 1t keeps up much longer, Mr.. Knight
contemplates coming to city hall in dis
guise.
he set worllmen fixing up AN appar-
atus yesterday to continue the plan of
lighting which he experimental on last
week, but they could not complete the
apparatus yesterday. They expect to
fnish it today. Mr.. knight is following
tne suggestion of Mayor Rufus B.
lodge, Jr., to make an experiment at
lighting the clock by means of mean
uesceht lamps, and although the at
tempt Saturday evening was not sue
cessful, he thinks far better results
VIII be obtained on the next trial
The incandescents will be separate
when the next trial is made, instead
or a part of single apparatus. Each
lamp will be put in what is considered
the proper position by means of an cleo
tro-duct, which is a steel pipe about the
size of a gas pipe. The ducts will
be bent to secure the proper angle, and
the lamps will be let down over the face
or the clock, the arrangement being
held firmly in place on the parapet by
means Of a board. Behind each lamp
Will be reflector, which will differ
from the reflector used last week in
that it will be oblong and with a fiat
surface. Each lamp will be required to
light a portion of the clock, whose sur
face is divided into three parts in the
plans which have been made
The lamps will set close to the wall
to avoid casting shadow of the hands
on the dial. The hour hand stands out
six inches from the dial, and the min
ute hand is fully 10 inches from the face
of the clock. BY having the lamps
near the clock face the shadow will be
thrown down toward the roof, instead
of on the face. If the experiment works
successfully the apparatus will be fixed
permanently on the tower, and arrange
ments will be made to secure it firmly
enough to withstand any assaults of
the wind
