ANOTHER BIG
BOND ISSUE
$4,000 for City Hall Deficit
And $4,000 For
Sewers.
STREET ENCROACHME NT

The CITY Will be Re-Surveyed and AL
Those Citizens Who Have Taken In a
Foot or SO More of the Street Than
They Are Entitled to Will be Com
PEELED to Move Their Fences.
When the roll was called at the
council meeting last night all were
present except Alderman Badger, who
came in later.
The message from the mayor, as
forecasted in yesterdays HERALD, was
read, calling for $50, 900 additional
bond issue-S10, 600 for the city hall
and $40, 900 for sewer extension. 1t
follows:
To the Honorable City Council:
Geutlemen:-I have the honor to su b.
nit for your consideration the follow
ing statement relative to the expend1-
lures on the city hall and that which
has been contracted for, showing a sur
plus to date of $5,397.SO. 1t is unnec-
esssry to state thst there will be other
expenditures, as we'll as the furnishing
of the hall, which, in my judgment,
will sw ell the amount to about SO, 600.
I therefore recommend that the sum of
ten thousand dollars in Ell Paso city
bonds be authorized to cover these ex-
penses.
1 also call your attention to the ne
cessity of issuing $4,000 worth of
sewer bonds, to extend the same be
low the city limits, and it is now the
cause of general complaint of many
of our citizens as well as the people OF
East Ell Paso and the town of Ysleta.
By extending the sewer below the vs.
leta depot it will obviate any further
trouble, and as sanitary measure, as
we'll as to avoid all complaints, L re-
commend that S20, 900 worth of sewer
bonds be authorized.
Respectfully submitted.
JOSEPH MAGOFFIN,
Mayor.
This message caused a general dis
cussion. Mr.. Clifford wanted to know
if the amount of $40, 900 would be suf-
ficient to complete the city hall.
The mayor then submitted his es-
innate in writing rs follows:

This statement of rough figures
created general discussion.
The architect and some of the alder
men appeared to think that $4,000
would not be sufficient to complete,
furnish and lay sidewalks for the city
hall, but Mr.. Whitmore suggested
that it was better to be short to some
extent than to get too much money on
hand to be worked.
The recommendation of the mayor
was unanimously adopted on recon-

Dewey Hall Plans.

The building consists of central hall
and two wings; the hall is hexagonal in
plan and rises above the fat roofs of the
two wings in clear story supporting a
circular dome. Projecting from the CEN
trail hall between the two wings, which
converge toward the front, is the entrance
portico, with two Ionic columns in ants
carrying an enriched pediment. Above
the entrance door is trophy emblematic
of the navy, and on either side are tablets
for appropriate inscriptions.
In style, the building is a simple adapta-
ton of the classic, the detail being Greek.
Effect is sought by careful proportioning
of masses without elaborate ornaments
ton.
The predominating feature of the design
is the central hall. 1t is open from floor
to dome. Opposite the entrance door, a
grand staircase leads to a gallery at the
second floor level, from which access is
had to the surrounding rooms. Upon the
walls spaces are provided for memorial
tablets and framed historical documents,
In the centre of this hall, which is thus
to be made the centre of interest, in front
of the staircase, and in view from the en-.
trance, the wings, and the gallery, will be-
placed a statue of Admiral Dewey, fol
whom the building is named, and in com
memoration of whose achievements 1t is tc
be erected by his alma mater, by voluntary
contributions from his fellow countrymen

Danger From tn. Bubonic Plague.

1t is the terrible bubonic plague that is
reported to have broken out again in Hong
Kong and along the Chinese coast. In
southern China, the Malay states and in
India, tens of thousands have died from
this disease during the past two years, The
danger that the scourge will jump from
Hong Kong to Manila and infest the Amer.
lean army is obvious. The United States
government will need to take great precau
tions, too, against the importation of the
plague into the United States 1t reached
Vienna in an isolated case not long ago
according to report, and only vigilance will
prevent its spread among western nations
The plague is so malignant that two-third:
of those 1t attacks are doomed. and death
often ensues within "a hours.-[Springfelt

To Increase Brook Trout.
From the Mortified News

By provision of the last session of the
Vermont legislature it is possible for a
property owner to stock any brook or body
of water on his land with young fish, pur-
chased at his own expense, then post his
brook or sheet of water and render all
those who fish in such streams trespassers
and liable to a fine of $40 in addition to
damage for trespass. If he has not stocked
his streams with fish of his own buying he
can post his grounds or streams and have
arrested as trespassers all those who may
fish without permission and collect for
damages, but in that event such trespasser
is not liable to the fine of $40 in addition.
This latter clause is practically what has
existed for some time past, but the stock
ing with fish privately purchased is a new
idea. This new feature from the stand
point of property owner is considered a
good thing, The ordinary disciple of the
famous Izaak Walton however, does not
favor it and expresses himself freely of his
contempt.

Friendly 10 the Company.

Citizens show a Disposition TO Assist
street Railroad Project by Voting to
Have the Grading Done, Expense to
Town Not TO Exceed $1,000.
The town meeting of yesterday, called to
see what action the town would take to
assist the Bellows Falls and Saxtons River
street railroad in getting through Pine
street, resulted in developing a spirit of
friendliness upon the part of nearly every
voter The meeting was a very large one,
about 600 citizens being present. The
general feeling, as indicated yesterday, had
been very accurately indicated in this col
umn two weeks ago. The voters wished
to assist the road whatever was necessary,
but did not wish to vote to pay an uncer-
tain expense, or become liable to an un-
known amount.
A resolution was adopted, after over two
hours interesting discussion, instructing
the selectmen to lay out grade which was
stated by the roads engineer to be the
least which would be safe, cutting down
the brow of the hill 10 feet at the highest
point. The expense of this and the dam
age caused to the abutting land owners to
be paid by the railroad company, and the
town to assist the road on the amount of
damages caused, not to exceed $1,000,
This is a satisfactory outcome in every
way. The railroad asked, through Attor-
ney Weston, that the town pay the whole
damages, claiming that as the selectmen
were to assess the damages in accordance
with the statute they would perhaps be
lighter if it was for the town than a for
eign corporation. 1t is entirely uncertain
what the damages will amount to, as no
effort whatever had been made to ascer-
tain but it was thought by many the $1,000
would be ample for it, after taking ac
count of the benefits derived by the abut-
tiers. On the other hand there are many,
including the friends of the abutters, who
feel it will cost much more, but if it does
the railroad must stand it, unless a further
meeting is called.
The selectmen will at once lay out the
grade of the street, and appraise the dam
ages. 1t is expected the work will be be-
gun in the grading of the road within a
few days. Surely the voters have shown
their good will, and neither side has rea-
son to feel aggrieved.
