Massillon, Feb. 19.-City Clerk Sea-
man and members of the city council
are busy studying law in connection
with the obstruction of streams. At
last Monday evenings session of the
council a resolution was adopted in
structing the city clerk to consult with
the county commissioners with view
of getting thei aid in the removal of q
sand bar which extends over a mile in
the Tuscarawas river obstructing the
course of the stream. The city not only
wanted the bar removed, but it also
wanted to use the material excavated
for filling up West street The council
determined from a superficial examin-
alton of the statutes that 1t was the
| county commissioners duty to pay their
share toward the removal of the OBJ
| struction. The commissioners have not
| been seen by the clerk, but the action
| of the council coming to their notice,
Commissioners Summer engaged in q
| little legal research with the result that
| he openly declared the commissioners
| could have nothing to do with the bar
| unless 1T was q menace to county prop
| erty. The council and the city clerk
| believe the bar is a menace to the West
| fremont street bridge which is county
property and they are fortifying them
| selves in the law preparatory to brush
with the commissioners. The sand ba1
| gives City Clerk Seaman an opening
| for another side swipe at the w. & l.
e trestle.
"If all the commissioners want is thu
assurance that the sand bar is a menace
to county property" said Clerk Seaman
this morning, "I think we can easily
demonstrate it to their entire satisfac.
| tion- The sand bar has divided the
channel of the stream and narrowed the
channel to about forty feet. The rail.
way trestle stands about six feet higher
than the fremont street bridge ant
should there be an ice gorge at thi.
| trestle, and it could easily happen IL
a severe winter, the water and ice woulC
back up and undoubtedly cause damag,
to the county bridge"
Citizens who claimed to know tn,
condition existing at the trestle by rea
son of the sand bar supported Mr.. Sea
mans views, while others insisted tina
the trestle was infinitely better thai
the old one and not nearly so liable t,
obstruct the stream.
The council will probably resume tn
discussion of the question at the meet
ing this evening.
In regard to furnishing an invento
ry of it's possessions, City Clerk Seaman
stated this morning that the water
works company had not replied to hi
notice. He said it would probably tax
some time to prepare it and he did no
| anticipate receiving it for tOnight's ses
sion of council.

MAY GRANT EXTENSION.
Mayor Suggests That the Hurfords
May Have Further Time.
THEY ARE NEGOTIATING
And 1t Is Said That Some Plans Are Under
Way That Will Relieve the Condi-
tions That Now Prevail The
situation as 1t Now
Appears.

The Hurford house building remains
standing where it was when the resolu-
ton was adopted by the board Of ex-
aminers of buildings, and the decision
of the board, so far as the owners Of
the building carrying out the import
of the resolution, remains practically
in the same status Of affairs. The time
expired Saturday at midnight but thus
far no action has been taken by the
board toward carrying ou their reso-
luton. No meeting Of the board has
been called as yet, and no action there
fore will result until such meeting
can be had and the matter talked over.
1t is not believed that the committee
will proceed to Immediately carry out
the instructions contained in the stat
utes. and it is understood that the own
ers of he building are endeavoring to
comply with the decision of the COM
mittee by disposing of the property
or securing capital to rebuild the house.
When seen this, Monday morning,
Mayor Robertson, who is a member o.
the board, stated that he had not yet
called meeting of the committee and
that he did not desire to make a state
ment for publication as to what action
the committee, If any, would take to-
ward carrying out the import of the
resolution.
1t is probable meeting of the COM
mittee will be held this week and at
that time it will be decided what action
to take, and it is altogether probable
that the owners of the building may
ask for an extension of time so as to
complete negotiations which it is under
stood are now in process.

"INCURABLE" HEART DIS
EASE SOON CURED
BY the Great Specialist in Treating Weak
and Diseased Hearts, Franklin
Miles, M. ID. LII. B.
Who VIII Send $3.50 Worth of His Com
plete Special Treatment Free to
Any AFFLICTED Reader.

To demonstrate the unusual curative
powers of his new and complete special
treatment for heart disease, short
breath, pain in the side, oppression in
the chest irregular pulse, palpitation,
smothering spells, putting of the ankles
or dropsy, DR.. Miles will send, free,
to every afflicted person. two dollars and
half worth of his new treatment.
1t is the result of twenty-four years
of careful study, extensive research, and
remarkable experience in treating the
various ailments of the heart, stomach
and nerves, which so often complicate
each case. So astonishing are the results
of his complete special treatment in
most cases, that he does not hesitate to
freely offer all patients trial free.
Certainly nothing could be more gen.
erous-more philanthropic. Few physi-
clans have such confidence in their rem
edies. And there is no reason why every
afflicted person should not avail them
selves of this exceedingly liberal offer,
as they may never have another such an
opportunity. No death comes more sud
den than that from heart disease.

Commissioners Say They Have
No Jurisdiction Over
the Case.

The county commissioners Monday
morning received a petition from large
number of citizens of Massillon who
want relief from the annoyance caused
by Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad
bridge across the Tuscarawas river. The
property owners imagine all sorts of
evil will happen to them If the trestle
is not removed. The commissioners,
after considering the matter, and con-
sulting the prosecutor, concluded that
they had nothing to do with the case,
and the petitioners were so notified.
