Bonds.
An innocent looking biz is senate bill
152. which is entitled An act to amend
the title TO chapter 81 of the laws of
1856. and to amend and repeal section 1
of said chapter"
1t authorizes cities Of the first, second
and third class to issue bonds for aid
to railroad companies in securing and
paying for land for right Of way. depot
grounds and terminal facilities. In this
bill cities Of the third class are to be
permitted to vote railroad bonds to. a
maximum of $4,000 The law now per-
mits townships, Of which cities of the
third class are a part, to vote 81 600 a
mile of railroad bonds. This bill would
permit townships to vote their limit Of
railroad bonds, for their equitable part
of which the cities Of the third class
would bear their burden Then. in ad-
dition the citizens Of the town could
have double burden placed upon them
by another $4,000 being voted upon it
as a corporation.
In effect this bill contemplates re-
storing the old law whereby $4,000 a
mile OF railroad bonds can be voted.

it is worth knowing If you frequent
menageries. One Marlor, visiting an

bra, whereupon the ungrateful beast
let out with his heels and pushed him
through partition into another stall,
where another zebra bit his hand,
which had to be amputated. Could he
recover from the zebra's owner? A
jury thought he could, but the Court
OF Appeals said not A zebra is at
present legally wild animal. and
