Report Mada to the Street and Water
Board Today.

Gentlemen-The contractor has finally
gained control of the portals of the pro-
posed tunnels through Hook and Watch
ung Mountains and is now getting ready
for definite construction He hopes ia hei
able some time this week to commence
such work on both tunnels. The mann
facture of the special steel required for
the pipes and the rolling of some into
plates is being vigorously prosecuted and
a large number of car loads have been
shipped to Paterson, where the work of
riveting into pipes ana applying the
asphalt coating is to be performed.
About 1000 tons of such plates have
already reached their destination and
their conversion in into pipes will begin
early this week.
The first pipe laying is to commence
where the pipe line crosses the Passaic
near Horse Neck Bridge and will be
prosecuted thence easterly through the
Crate piece Meadow. The Passaic River
has already been diverted in order Ia
exeayate the stream crossing so as to
permit Of the pipes being laid entirely be-
meath the bottom of the river and quite
a long extent of crossing trenching east
wardly has also been performed.
The sub-contractlor for this portion Of
the work informs me that all his ar
rangements for material and labor are on
the basis of laying regularly and con-
tinuously from $50 to 800 feet per day.

Bresci's most intimate friend in West
Hoboken is Raffale Magnolf, fellow
countryman, living at No. rs Cortlandt
street. When Bersci left for Italy he ex-
changed photographs with Magoolfi, and
Magnolfi now has that photograph in his
possession. All manner of inducements
would cause him to give it up.
He said:-'It would be as much as my
life is worth to part with that photo

Mrs. Bresci occupies two rooms on the
second floor in the rear of the house, in
which there are four other families. She
is comely woman, with dark brown hair,
which she wears eombed straight back

rapidly filed with tears as the awful news
of her husbands crime dawned upon her.
Her manner and dress indicated poverty.
The room contained a small stove. a ta-
BILE, a chair and rocker There was no
carpet on the floor. This room is her din
ing room and kitchen combined. Just off
the dining room is the bedroom, which
contained a plain iron bedstead and one
chair. There were two or three cheap pic
lures hanging on the wall. Mrs. Bresci's

THE TAX LEVY.
Amount Which the Yearly
Estimates Call For is
Sl,887, 516.45
DEMANDS or DEPARTMENTS
Tax Rate for the Year Will
Probably Be Lower
Than S28. 40.

Inc Finance Commissioners this morn
ing approved the tax levy for the fiscal
year ending November 80, and the limit OF
expenditure in all the departments and
amount to be raised by taxation is Sl,8S7.-
oIb.4o. Last year it was $1.S25, ,05OS9, ana
the year before s., ,S49, ,A3.05 These amounts
include the State School and poll tax,
amount to be received from railroad and
canal taxation and the one-ninth added
according to the law of 1884.
The usual resolution was passed fixing
ehe tax levy, which was subsequently
signed by Mayor Hoos and the books sent
TO the Tax Commissioners, who will fix
the rate. What the rate will be it is too
premature to say. The Commissioners,
however. say it will not be higher than

ably lower

No Stronger Evidence Can Be

have done many times in years gone by,
is the best guarantee of future results.
Anyone with a bad back; any reader suf-
fering from urinary troubles, from any
kidney ills, will find in the following evil
dence proof that relief and cure is near
at hand:
Mr.. Patrick o. Dryer, mason, Of Ga

me of backache which always bothered

was only too pleased to let the people of
New Haven know the fact through our
newspapers. Three years from that date,
or in the month Of May, 1899, I just as
ardently recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
as l did when they effected the cure
mentioned above. My advice to anyone
suffering from kidney complaint is, call
at a drug store, procure Doan's Kidney
Pills, take them as directed, and you will
be surprised at the results"

ECONOMIC OF GOOD ROADS.
There is food for thought in the report
of the Maryland Geological Survey for
1899. In the first place we are told that
the people of Maryland have expended,
during the last ten years, upon the So
called construction and repair of their
own roads, the sum of no less than &c.
600, 900. 1t seems that the greater part
of this money has been fritted away in
the attempt TO repair roads which have
been poorly laid out in the first place,
and for the lack of certain necessary
engineering qualifications can, in the
nature of things, never be made into
good roads. AS an instance of this it
may be mentioned that many of the COM
mon roads nave 40 natural drainage. We
are told that most of them are in a poor
condition for a part of the year, and
some of them for the whole twelve
months.
As the result of a careful estimate
made by the survey, it is shown that the
farmers of the state of Maryland eXpend
So. 900 900 a year more on their hauling
over the present poorly built highways
han would be necessary if the hauling
were done or first-class roads. These
figures are to be compared with the in
formation collected by the department
of agriculture in 1895, when, as the re-
suit of data received from over twelve
hundred counties in various parts of
the United States, it was ascertained
that the average cost of hauling one ton
for one mile over country roads was
twenty-five cents; which was Just three
times as much as the average cost of
hauling over the improved macadam
roads of six European countries. If
this large sum of money represents
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1900-07-06

the loss to the state of Maryland
from poor roads, it is easy to say that
the total loss throughout the whole
United States represents a figure so
great that 1t must have an important
bearing upon the prosperity of the
country OF large, and particularly upon
the farming interests as such.
At first sight it seems incredible that
in a country so progressive as ours the
condition of the common roads should
be over a half century behind that of the
old world. 1t is true that the vast eX-
tent of the Uuited States, and the great
mileage of our roads In some states
relative to the density of the population,
may be offered rs an eXcus for our
hackwardness; but while this plea may
hold good as regards the thinly popu-
lated western and southern states it can
not be applied to the older, more poru-
lous and wealthy sections of the country.

There is a young man in Brooklyn
who needs Il tonic of some kind, else
he would not have failed to embrace as
attractive an opportunity as ever
comes to one. He accompanied a
charming young woman to a church
wedding on the park slope and arrived
at about the time the bride and groom
were due. The young oma with
him was dressed somewhat rs the
bride was expected to he clad, and as
she walked up the main aisle of the
church with her escort the organist
began to play the wedding march. The
couple, however, instead of going on to
the altar, stopped in one of the pews
not far from the front. One of the
ushers came forward and told them
that the clergyman was waiting for
them, and their friends near, perceiv-
ing the situation, urged them to re-
spond to the summons. The young
Oma said she was ready and will
ing, but the young man, to his ever
lasting disgrace, refused to move, and
if he lives to his dying day the people
who know the girl say that Hugh will
not have another such chance for hap
