LIMITED SEASON.
Only Twenty Days of Hunting During
the Year.

A limited number attended the meet
ing of the Summit County Game Asso-
citation in the City building Tuesday
night. Little business was considered
The bill limiting the hunting season to
90 days will be introduced in the Sen
ate this week. 1t is the desire of every
sportsman that this bill be defeated.
If it becomes law no hunting will be
permitted except between Nov. 10 and
Dec. /. This would put an end to the
hunting of woodcock and squirrels as
they are both out of season before that
time. Senator Sieber has notified the
Association that he will oppose the
passage Of the measure.

On North Hill Want
Street Widened.

sioners Wednesday Morning.

The Board of County Commission.
ers were on North Hill Wednesday
morning, talking with citizens rea-
tive to the widening of North Howard
st.
From fence to fence North Howard
ST., on the bill, is GO feet wide, but the
roadway proper is only "A feet. While
a majority of the property owners
are in favor of widening the street,
others object because they do not want
to give up their lawns, nor replant
shade trees That portion of the street
that the citizens want widened extends
from the top of the hill north to the
Cuyahoga road, distance, of half
mile.
The contemplated double tracking
of the Northern Ohio Traction com,
pany's line between Akron and Cuya-
hoga Falls, has also interested the
citizens of North HILL They want
fiat track constructed
Manager Beilstein, of the Northern
Ohio Traction company, was present
at the meeting of the Commissioners
and citizens but he did not volunteer
any information relating to what his
company would do in the matter OF
constructing fiat tracks.
The comp0ny's franchise gives It
permission to construct a double track
and material has already been dis
tributed along the line.
The object of the meeting Wednesday
morning was that the Board of Com.
missioners might find out what was
wanted by the citizens. no action has
yet been taken in the matter.

The true northerner., 1900-03-07

Railroad Commissioner Osborn, in his
annual report to the governor, says in
reference to the wages of railroad en-
ployes:
"The wages of employees have been ma
terially increased in many instances, Sec
tion men and track laborers have been
paid this year as high as Sl.75 per day,
and at least one contractor reports that
although he paid common laborers 81 a
day and has hired more than a thousand
men during the year, he has been unable
to have more than 60 at work at any one
time-which is an indication OF the scare
ity of labor i'm railroad channels. This
paucity of labor has been a source of a
great deal Of embarrassment to the rail
roads They have seemingly been unable
to do as much track work as they have
desired, and it has been almost impos-
sible for many roads to get their tracks
into as good condition to go into the win
ter as usual"
This is another indication of the pros
perity the country is enjoying under re-
publican administration, populist and
democratic newspapers to the contrary,

increase in liabilities of SS,05l92 for the
year. This amount. does not represent
the real increase however, as no interest
liability is figured on the S4,700 of loan
orders outstanding, which will amount
to 1895 for the year. The one per cent
tax spread last year did not accomplish
much for the improvement of the finan-
cial condition of the village. One of two
things will have to be done. Spend less
money or spread more taxes. The Nor
therner voices the republican sentiment
of the village when it says "spend less
money" until portion of our indebted
ness is paid.
