GRAND AVENUE KICKED
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS DELAYS
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS.

The board of public works held a ses-
sion yesterday afternoon to open bids
for the work on several sewers and to
hear the property owners On the question
of proposed improvements.
The boulevarding and curbing of Grand
avenue aroused such opposition, and
brought out such unconsidered features,
that the matter was dropped. A trustee
for some of the property along Grand
avenue said the income on rented houses
on Grand avenue scarcely paid per cent
on the investment.
]. j. Leighton spoke of the desolate ap-
| pearance along the blocks under discus
sion and while he favored any improve
ment which would benefit the city he
| convinced the board that the curbing
should not be undertaken until next
| spring.
Hague avenue is to have thirty-foot
| roadway, with nine-foot houlevards on
either side, from Victoria street to Dale
City Engineer Claussen estimated that
Kettle River sandstone would cost 9s
| cents linear foot and granite $1.O5. On
motion Of Mr.. Pottgieser the improve
ment was taken under advisement.
E. H. Roach spoke vigorously against
boulevarding and curbing Holly avenue
beyond the present limit. The Schiff-
mann ordinance provided for a thirty.
two-foot driveway. It was taken under
Amusement. M. f. PendSrgast, prop
erty owner on Marshall aveuHs, protested
against narrowing the Marshall avenue
roadway beyond Grotto street to thirty
two feet. He claimed that the cyclists
would take several more and as a conse-
quence Marshall avenue, which, from
Minneapolis to this side of Merriam Park
is a fine, beautiful drive, In the future
could not be the driveway between tho
two cities as it row bids fair to be, If
under any circumstances It was forced
down to thirty-twe feet. The board took
it under consideration.
Wheeler avenue from University to
Shields street, is to be curbed with WI
mona sandstone
Bids for constructing sewers were
opened. Patrick Dougherty lost the con-
tract on the Baker street extension by
the narrow ma&giu of 20 cents. His bid
was 1892. P. H. Thornton got the con-
tract at s691.SO The city engineers es-
innate was $3.50.
John Linz got the work on Blair and
Elicit streets at $i,755 The bids ranged
as high as $2,043. He proposed to DO the
work more than 500 less than the cost
as estimated by Engineer Claussen. The
bids on the Wells street sewer were John
Lind, S1,420; Christian Johnson, $1,455.8O;
P. H Thornton, S1.297.25; Patriciz+Dough-
erty, SLEEP. Thornton's BID was the low>

PENALTY ON A BRIDGE.
Committee on Streets VIII Not Try
to Enforce 1t.


to Enforce 1t.
The aldermanic committee on streets
met yesterday afternoon. The request OF
the Ramsey County Sanitation company
was laid on the table by unanimous
vote. DR.. Ohage has allowed them to
continue business for some time upon an
understanding that as soon as possible
they would put in an artesian well, such
as the other companies consider neces-
sary, instead of the tank they claim to
use at present.
Eighteen months have passed, and the
Sanitation company has taken no steps
towards acquiring property rights on the
levee or any other steps toward putting
In a well. The action will conclusively
prohibit them from removing night soil
until they comply with the regulations
OF the health department
The contract for the Raymond avenue
bridge was not completed within the
time limit, but the committee did not feel
justified In assessing the penalty Of 800
per day, which was inserted In the con-
tract. Comptroller McCardy estimates
that the contractor, A G. Bell owes the
city S13,67S, instead of the city owing him
s2l 300 on the work. The company proved
before the committee that they were not
responsible for the delay. The only firm
which was able to supply the requisite
kind Of steel was six months behind its
orders, and Mr.. Bell produced a letter
from the city engineer to him, stating
that If he desired to bid on the work a
delay brought about through inability to
get the steel would not be penalized.
The final payment was approved, sub
ject to the acqutescence of the corpora
ii noattorney and the city engineer.
The communication from the city en-
gineer stating that the water board had
refused to put sprinkling MIGRANTS in sew
eral localities where he deemed IT nee
essary was referred to the corporation
attorney.

Her PERFIDY IS PUNISHED
SUPREME COURT REvERsEs JUDO
MENT GIVEN MARY HAHN.

Mary Hahn, who sued the venerable
Anton Bettingen for breach of promise
and secured $1,000 verdict, was adj
Versely affected by the action of the su-
preme court on Bettingers appeal. the
decision being hapded down by Chief
Justice Start yesterday.
The plaintiff testified that the defend
ant requestedJ hers to marry him. She
was then engaged to marry another, a
Mr.. Bach, and broke her enga cement
with him at the defendants request.
The trial court gave the jury this in
struction: u
"If you SHOULD find that the plaintiff
broke her engagement with Mr.. Beach at
the request or solicitation of defendant
and on account of the contract of mar
-riage of the defendant with plaintiff Of
you find thereIwa such a contracO, then
you may consider the loss by the plaintiff
of the opportunity to marry with Mr..
Bach as an element of damage in deter
mining the amount you find her entitled
to recover"
The defense claimed this instruction
was an error, and the court rules:
1.-THE jury may consider the plaintiff s
pecuniary lossi her loss of opportunities
during her engagement to the defendant
for contracting a suitable marriage with
another, tie Disappointment Of her rea-
sonable expectations, of her material and
social advantages resulting from the in
tended marriage, the injury to her health
or feelings the wounding Of her pride,
the blighting of her affections, and the
marring Of her prospects in life by rea-
son of the defendants promise, and his
refusal to keep It,
But no adjudged case, SO far as we
are advised has ever gone to the ex-
tent of holding that because the plaintin
broke her then existing promise to marry
another man at the solicitation of the
defendant and promised to marry him,
the loss of the opportunity to marry her
Tilted lover might be considered by the
jury in assessing her damages for the
defendants breach Of promise.
''This proposition is ethically and le-
gally unsound, for 1t enables the plaintiff
to take advantage of her own perfdy
and recover damages for her own breach
of her engagement with Mr.. Bach.
Syllabus:-"This is an action for breach
of promise of marriage. The plaintiff
testified that she was engaged to B. and
at the solicitation of the defendant she
broke her engagement and promised to
marry him. The trial court instructed
the jury TO the effect that If the plaintiff
broke her engagement with B., at the
solicita ton of the defendant, and on &C
count Of his promise to marry her they
might consider as an element of her
damage her loss of the opportunity to
marry B. Held, error"

1t is thought that Lieut. Budy, of the
Union Park station, will not lose his
head, but it IS difficult to forecast who
will be deprived OF that title. The pres
ent force of ten sergeants will be abol-
1shed and patrolmen will be detailed as
roundsmen for duty. This will mean a
great saving to the department.
The money thus saved will De used in

thought that the salaries of the jafIers

ton of the commission is to make room
for as many new patrolnen as possible.
The pay rolls will be audited by the

the closest attention of his audience, re-
lating the Old Testament tale of man S
friendship for man in vigorous style and
picturesque phraseology. Especially good
was the sketch of SauPs character, his
craving for revenge, his bitter remorse.
