PRIOR IN CHARGE AGAIN.

Street Commissioner w. S. Prior be-
gan his duties for the ensuing year
without any formality. He received
many congratulations during the day.
While talking with The Spy man con-
cernlng matters relating to the depart
ment, he said he proposes to make one
change at least this year, and that is
70 keep separate account for land
damages and street construction, The
reason is that people are liable to set
an erroneous idea of the way money
IS spent. They see a certain sum is
spent for street construction, and when
they think of the work that has been
done are prone to say that the results
are not commensurate with the amount
spent. The figures do not mean that
the stPeet2department has had so much
money 10 spend in making new streets.
they mean that the department has
spent q portion of the sum and the city
has paid the remainder for damages to
estates along the streets which have
been constructed.
street Commissioner Prior thinks the
sums paid for land damages should be
50 stated, and not charged to him. AS
an instance of this he said that last
year the amount spent for street con-
struction was in reality only SOC. 900,
While the item as it appears in his re-
port is $175,000 There were $11S,00 Civ
en- for land damages.

TO HEAT scHooLHousEs.


b. W. Kinney, formerly principal of
the Downing street school, and now
agent for Fuller & Warren, manufac-
turers of heating and ventilating APP
paratus, with headquarters at Troy. N.
T., was in Worcester yesterday. He
went to the new school building at
Millbury street, where the firm will
soon begin to put in the furnaces. Work
on the building is rapidly approaching
completion. Workmen are now engaged
in building the roof. The building is
being hurried faster than the three
others, which We're started about the
same time, in order that it may be
turned over to the school committee
as soon as possible, the greatest de-
mand existing there.
AT East Kendall street, the walls are
almost finished, and the structure will
be ready for roofing in few days. The
cold weather has interrupted the brick
work, as it is a practice of the depart
ment not to lay brick in freezing wea-
ther The smaller building on Main
street, near Gates lane, has received
its first coat of plaster. Work at Gage
street has progressed more slowly than
elsewhere on account of the ledge
through which it was necessary to dig
to build the cellar. The building will be
hurried along, however, and will easily
be ready for occupancy at the begin
ming of the school year in September.

Gypsy MOTH

In the House this afternoon. the re-
port of the state board of agriculture
on the determination of the gypsy moth
was received. The report reviews the
work accomplished from the beginning
at great length. Success has crowned
the efforts of the board to a marked de-
gree.
The report says: "In view of the en-
couraging progress made in 1898 in
spite of the delay in making the appro-
priatlon, your committee believe that
the attempt to eXterminate the e-ypsy
moth in eastern Massachusetts has been
Jastii1ed by the results already attained
and its practicability demonstrated
They therefore plan to continue the
work in 1898 on the same lines as in
1898. An appropriation of 100000 is
therefore recommended"
The report says further that the in
creased appropriation of 1898 has en-
abled the committee to check the
spread of the moth from the central
woodlands. In the future, therefore.
the work of the committee can be more
directly and effectively applied to ex-
termination. The committee also plans
to make special appeals to citizens in
the infested district to cooperate with
the board in it's warfare against the
pest.
Insisting on the full appropriation
asked for, the committee SAYS: 'grhe
members Of this committee desire to
register their solemn protest against
being obliged by law to undertake fur
thor the determination of the moth un-
less the means estimated be furnished"
II the legislature will not grant the full
amount, 1t is better to give up the
work.
AS far as the brown-tail moth is
concerned, the report says that much
work remains to be done in Maiden,
Medford, Everett, Charlestown and
Cambridge.
The financial statement shows that
Of the 100000 appropriated last year,
there remains on hand $5S61 TO- OF the
