LONG DRAWN OUT.
The Scheme to Separate Grade al
Rines Hill Killed.
Yards Of Orders and Petitions Passed by the
City Government.

The move to secure n separation OF
the grade at Rines hill was killed in
the upper board Of the city govern
ment. last evening, after the lower
board had passed by one vote an or
der authorizing the expenditure of a
sufficient sum to learn the probable
cost of the work.
The first thing taken up in the lower
board was q revision of the ordinance
by which the salary list would be at
fected When the ordinance had been
referred to the committee on ordinances
to be enrolled. it was discovered that
the same matter was now being con-
Sidered by a committee.
Councilman Marley introduced an
order authorizing the expenditure of
800 to secure an estimate Of the cost
of the separation of the grade a RineS
hill.
Councilman Haskell vigorously OPP
posed the order, saying an Intelligent
estimate could not be made for that
sum and held that it was money
thrown away to make a survey OF
something that would never be done.
Councilman Harrington said it was
simple question whether II dangerous
crossing should be done away with, or
TO sit here year after year allowing
the crossing to remain. BY having the
| grades separated the city will have a
| good avenue of business. The Maine
| Central. he said is willing to consider
| the matter when they have an idea OF
| the probable cost.
| Councilman Haskell said he under
stood the separation would cost S4o,ooo
| He wanted to know how much the rail-
road would pay.
At the suggestion that the Maine
Central would send an engineer here
TO make a survey Councilman Earring
ton said that was impossible as the en-
gineers were too busy. He then Wen
on to say that under the present con-
ditions there is not a safe entrance in
TO the city from the west side.
Councilman Fletcher recounted sew
eraI narrow escapes he had had from
being injured. in a team, and then sait
if the order was tabled the movemen
RI separate the grades would be a thlnt
If the past. He thought that the leas
thing that could be done would be t
wake move to learn the cost, b,
passing the order.
Chairman Hichborn said he nae
learned from people near the Main
Central officials that the work had beer
considered by the Maine Central ant
an estimate of the cost made. Thu
nrobabIe cost is something like 100000
and that had deferred the road from
considering the alterations.

MAKING MONUMENT PARK BEAUTIFUL.
Changes in Progress Which Will Add 10 The
Parks Appearance.

Pines are being laid at Monument
park by which the grass may be water
ed. during the summer. Previously
there was no means by which the
ground might be wet down during a
dry season. and, last year. the grass
greatly suffered A system of piping
is now being done by which hose can
be attached to the plugs and the
ground kept moist regardless OF the
heat.
The basins Of the fountain were also
loose and had canted so that the water
flowed from one side of the bow only.
The fountain is to be made perfectly
rigid. 50 that the slightly delapitatcd
aDpearance will be a thing OF the past.
In addition to these improvements, a
path is being laid out on the state
street side. When the Workmen are
through a walk will extend all the
way around the park. The lines Tor
the entrances had become obliterated
TO such an extent that 1t seemed "a
though there We're no entrances.
c. s. Hichborn, the chairman of the
mark commission, has been attending
personally to the laying out of the
mark that no time might be thrown
away. The alterations are greatly
adding to the beauty of the spot anC
the promised improved appearance Is
receiving many favorable comments.
Another thing that is being done |:
to turf over that part of the parf
where the grass has died away ant
where there was no grass on accoun
of the band stand. The men have nov

Much Labor Involved in Committing
the Bank Tax.
Application OF a Would-be Game Warden
New corporations-Notes.

Much interest is felt in the coming
semi-annual tax on savings banks. The
reports of the various banks have Teen
handed in to the bank examiner and the
market value of the various securities Is
being determined. Even with that work
done the assessors have task on their
hands. With the increase in the amount
of wages paid it is expected that an IN
crease in the amount of savings Will ne
shown. 1t is not possible to state when
this tax will be committed as there is a
vast amount of work necessary before
that can be done. The probability is that
the tax will not be committed at the next
meeting of the assessors.
The Ssatc assessors have decided TINS
year not to go into each county in the
state as they did a year ago unless they
are called by interested parties. One OF
the most important things that will come
up will be the taxation Of the wild lands
The calls in the other counties will be
when there is a difference of opinion be
tween manufacturers and assessors re-
garding the amount Of valuation.

The matter OF the disposition OF the
800 received from the sale OF the town
hall came up for discussion, the general
sentiment seeming to be that it should
be expended in the purchase OF suita-

school. BY a vote of the meeting the
board was instructed TO select some avail
able site for such playground and to
report to a special meeting hereafter to
be called for that purpose.
