BOARD OF PUBLIC SAFETY
Large Truck and Steamer Cannot BE,
Used While Trench is Open

Commissioner Reeves was chairman
at last nights meeting of the board OF
safety. Commissioner Taylor was
the only one absent. Not much bust
ness of any great Importance was
transacted. Captain Moore of the
Burton street engine house reported
william Reilly, a permanent man,
for using disrespectful language tow
ard him. Both were cited to appear
before the next meeting of the board,
which will be held Friday evening.
Chief Egan made his regular monthly
report and, as usual, it was accepted
ana filed. A resolution by Commits
sioner Beach recommending to the
board OF finance twenty-five cents
day extra for the regular detectives
was tabled, though favored, because it
was premature Officer Brearton made
MS official statement regarding the in
jury he received to his left shoulder
some weeks ago while arresting u
man. The officer was put under full
pay up to date. His physician ex-
poets him to be able to return to duty
III a week. He said that good deal
IN this regard rests with the officer
himself. The petition of Professor
~. u. Porter ct al for police protec-
zion "out east" was tabled, also the pe-
tition from Pearsallville for the same
purpose. The board did not feel they
nad power to make the required ap-
pointments Regarding the placing
OF f1re alarm boxes in the public
school buildings, a matter which has
been greatly considered by the board
or education, was taken up for discus
sion. Commissioner Lahey, a COM
m1ttee on the matter, reported that it
was the duty of the board of educa-
| ton to include the expense of the pro-
posed boxes in their estimates. Az
for fire drills by the school children
and teachers this was left to the dis
erection Of the captains of the nearest
| fire houses.
The petition heard some time ago
regarding a nuisance complained OF
by some people living on Wood street
against a gas engine working nights
in q factory run by a Mr. Bremen,
the chairman, Commissioner Reeves,
committee appointed to inquire into
this matter, reported that he had done
so and that the prosecuting attorney is
the proper person who can give the
asked for relief. 1t was decided to
have the clerk so inform the petition
ers.
Chief Snagg reported that while the
trench on Burton street or the storm
water sewer is open it will be impos-
sible to use the large truck and steam
er and that the city will have to de-
pend upon the truck at the Scovill
street engine house. The matter was
left to the chief, who will confer with
| the contractors. The new hose wag-
on will soon be here. 1t is almost
ready. Chief Snagg stated that for
the present month the fire department
has $4,000 to live on and Chief Egan
said his department has about 5000.
There was no more business. and the
board adjourned to Friday evening.

Brewery Brook Conduit Contract
Awarded to Edward McManus.

The board Of public works met yes
terday afternoon, Mayor Kilduff pre-
siding and all the members being pres
ent except Mr. Blakeslee, who, so Mr.
Cnesson said, was ashamed to come in
after working last Sunday.

brewery brook conduit were opened
and read, as follows: Edward Nc
field, $3,77952; Pasquale Contaldi, 3d.
334.68; Frank Pidgeon, $5,639.76. The
contract was awarded to Edward Nc
Manus, he being the lowest bidder.
A petition from the Chase rolling
mill for permission to make two-inch
connection with the main on Vine
street was referred to committee con-
sisting of the mayor and the superin-
tendent of the bureau of water. The
city engineers report of the compile
ton OF sewers in West Main and North
Willow streets was transmitted to the
board of aldermen. The superinten-
dent of water was authorized to move
a gathering trough from a point on the
WATERFOWL road south of the Bunker
Hill road to point at the junction of
the WATERFOWL and Bunker Hill roads.
Residents of Walnut street COM
planned that surface water was enter
ing upon their property and desired to
know when it would be taken care of
in some other way. The mayor as
sured them that the trouble would be
removed next year by the construction
of a storm water sewer in that street.
They left apparently well satisfied.
The payrolls and miscellaneous bills
were approved. H..
The board adjourned for a week.

Mrs. Jane l.. Starford's action in deeding to stanford university the great bulk of her private fortune, with the property which Senator Stanford assigned for the foundat tion Of the in stitution. was no surprise to anyone who knew of the sacrifices which she has made for the college. In the dark days of 1893 when the governments suit for s15, 100000 against the Central Pacific railroad threatened to sweep away large part of the university en- dowment, Mrs. Stanford was impor- tuned by the Huntington and other railroad managers to close the uni versity for two or three years rather than sacrifice railroad stocks and bonds. She declared she would do neither. but out of her private fortune she would pay the expenses of Stan ford, which then amounted to s1,00o . day. So she actually sold many costly jewels and works of art, and disposed of securities for which she could get a good price, and in this way kept the doors of Stanford open. When asked why she rcaorted to such means. she replied: ''The university stands to ne for husband and son. It is deareF than anything in the world, and l will sacrifice anything rather than see l. suffer" It is noteworthy that all the faculty in 1893 joined hands with her in tiding over the hard times. Many professors refused to draw more than enough for their living expenses. and others drew nothing, trusting for pay ment in better days.

The Eplscopalian general missionary conference in Rochester last week brought together some of the most famous workers in that denomination. The presiding officer was the Right Rev William D. Walker, bishop of western New York. He is a tall, broad shouldered, vigorous man, and won the sympathy and affection of the rough cattlemen among whom he carried on his active missionary work when he was bishop of North Dakota. The story goes that after he had been called to succeed the late Bishop Coxe at Buffalo he spent part of q summer in England, where he has many friends among the clergy and laity. There the bishops of the church are all m'lords." One day in q well known London hotel the clerk was approached hastily by a tall, lean, black rlustached man in a frock coat, flowing tie and soft felt hat with an extraordinary brim.

The efforts which have been under way for several months to secure a
 beet sugar factory for COST OF the Salt River valley BEET SUGAR have brought out. as FACTORIES. an incidental feature,
 various statements as to the cost of installing a factory The Sugar Beet Grower" of Denver undertakes to say what the average cost of a sugar factory is:
 In view of the extravagant state ments often found in newspapers as to the cost of building beet sugar fac tories, it may be of interest to those who are interested in securing a local plant. to know that factories, having a capacity of from $50 to 65O tons Of sliced beets per day. can be erected at cost of about s1,CO0 per ton of ca- paoity.
 This price includes fireproof con struction. ordinary sized beet sheds, and a complete working plant By cheapening the charact ter of the build ings and cutting down beet sheds and other appurtenances to the minimum. a saving of 10 per cent or more may be effected.
 Factories of greater capacity than 800 or 500 tons, can be built and equipped at q much less proportion ate cost factory with capacity of 1,000 tons daily ought to be built at q cost of s75O,O0 or course these figures may have to be increased. if the factory is huilt where materials, labor, water supply, ] etc. cost above the average. But | generally if may be assumed that the | cost will be very near to the fore | going outlines.
