taking study of the details of impor-
tant and complicated questions.
The affairs of a city like ours are
not always matters of a day ora week.
An error of Judgment, like tainted
blood, will affect the future of the
city's life long after it's author has
ceased to be a memory. For thirteen
years we have labored under the error
committed in regard to the water
question, and twice as many years
may yet elapse before it's consequences
shall entirely disappear.
If as much examination had been
made at the start as during the last
three years, the city would have pos
sessed a more desirable water system
at a cost of,many thousand dollars less.
Certainly we have paid a large tuition
for our experience and we ought to
profit by the knowledge gained.
The manner in which we may hereaf-
ter treat municipal problems, may
compensate us in some degree for the
losses sustained.
Signed: JOHN w. GORDON. MAYOR.

IN on Blackwell street, and the pres
ent Blackwell street bridge is removes
TO the Berlin street side. We thinl
that this ought to be done, if it il
practicable, for the bridge on Black
well street, is now unsafe for the
heavy loads that it is called upon tt
sustain, although it is sufficient to
satisfy the requirements of the law.
Something will have to be done to
improve our Main street, especially
the portion covered by the concrete.
The old concrete when it began to
give out was repaired two or three
different times, but it was found that
it was not practicable or economical
to patch it. The patches would not
adhere to the old concrete and soon
wore out. Various kinds of roads
have been discussed, and the general
conclusion seems to be that a pave
ment on a concrete foundation is the
most suitable, and it may, perhaps,
be the least expensive kind of a
road.
In order to build macadam roads it
would be necessary to put several
thousand dollors into a plant or else
we should have to buy the material
from those who now produce it. A
section of the road certainly ought to
be made this year out of some mater
ial. If 1t is to be a macadam road a
reasonable amount should be put in
before any large expenditures are
made in this direction. A mecadam !
road has many desirable features. 1t
is noiseleSs and is less wearing on
vehicles and animals. We do not feel
like advising in regard to the kind of
roads that should be built until fur
experiment or investigation is
made. In the past we have been UNI
lble to build any roads of this kind
or lack of funds. 1t is hoped in the
years Il expenses in other
directions will be lessened so that
here will be money left for the I'M
,rOvement of our streets.
The grand list since the CITY COM
nenced, including the last year was as
ollows:

SO that the temporary debt will not
have to be provided for from general
receipts, except TO the extent of about
$1,000. When we compare our finan-
cial situation with what it was four
years ago and consider what we have
accomplished in the mean time. it is
"A matter of satisfaction. -Four years
ago our debt was about 1856. 900 and
Il grand list $25, 900.
Then our debt was almost seven and
onc-half times our grand list, while
today it is five and one-half times our
present grand list. To accomplish
these results it has been necessary to
exercise strict economy in all depart
ments. Such economy ought to be
continued until our debt is again re-
duced.

New York, May Sire last night

and sheds of the New Jersey Storage
company. connected with the Standard
Oil Company's Constable Hook Works.
causing property loss of 100000.
There is some suspicion that the fire
was started by strikers, who, for the
past week, have been troublesome at
the oil works and at the oxford Coop
er Works, which adjoin. The fire start
ed in one OF the sheds on pier and
owing To the oil soaked condition of
the shed the dock and everything else
in the neighborhood OF the flames
spread rapidly. The oil tank ship Adel-
phi was lying alongside one Of the
piers and before she could be hauled
out took fire. Tugs tried TO get her off
and beach her on the Staten Island
shore, but the hawsers caught fire and
she went adrift in the Kills. Three oil
barges which lay alongside the docks
took fire and were destroyed. Five
tugs from Brooklyn. New York, Staten
Island and Jersey City responded to
calls for ass. stance. The firemen on
shore were repeatedly driven away
from the fire by the intense heat, and
the tugs had at short intervals to turn
their own hose upon themselves
TO keep their sides and deck houses
from bursting into flames. The fire in
the docks consumed the sheds upon
the p.ers and then burned the pilings
down TO the waters edge.
The tugs and firemen finally drove
the flames back from the piers. Piers
/ and are total losses. The pile driv-
ers at Pier were destroyed but
the pier itself and Pier were saved.
The ship Josephus, belonging TO Arthur
Sewall of Maine, was destroyed. She
had been loading with case "oil for
China ports and the flames spread over
her so rapidly that she could not be
saved.
The loss TO the Standard Oil company
will be about 100000 on buildings,
docks. oil and machinery. The great
er portion OF the oil burned was in cans
and barrels and was ready for ship
ment. The aggregate loss to private
individuals is estimated at 100000.
Officials OF the Standard OIL company
are of the opinion that the fire first
started on one OF the pile drivers. They
say II would have been impossible for
the strikers TO set the fire as they could
not pass through the yards to the dock.

"ROOTERS". OIO IT.
Dartmouth Shouters Win a Game fol
Their Ball Team.


The Brown University team went
down to defeat at the hands OF the
Dartmouth baseball nine at Hanover
yesterday. after they had the game
practically won. II was In the eighth
inning OF the game when the score
stood to 2 In Browns favor. that the
immense crowd ~ Dartmouth rooters
rose from the grand stand and the
bleachers in a body and by repeat
cheering and yelling, strained the
nerves of Eaton who had held the
Dartmouth players down to runs. un-
til that stage of the game. Eaton went
into the air as a result of the continued
shouting and allowed the home team to
score runs in the eighth and three In
the ninth inning. The baseball victory
was very pleasing to the immense
throng of spectators who completely
packed the grounds.
For seven consecutive innings Eaton
OF Brown pitched magnificent ball, al
lowing the Dartmouth ball-tossers but
six scattered hits and two runs. These
two were made in the opening inning,
when Pingree was given first, McCarten
bunted and beat the ball ITO first. French
advanced the runners on an infield out
and Brown drove handsome two-bag-
ger TO the outfield.
Brown University tied in the score
in the second and scored two more runs
in the next four innings but Eatons
wildness lost the game in the last two
innings.
The features OF the game were tHo
hitting of Detmers and WhiUtemore and
the steady work of Varney In the box,
who improved as the game progressed.
Tho score.
