RESPONSIBILITY FOR
BROOKLYN FLOODING
placed on Delaware and Hudson
Company and Discussed at Last
Nights Meeting of Common Coun-
cil-Other Business of Council.


At the meeting of common council last
night Mr.. Thompson brought up the
Brooklyn street flooding by asking If
anything is being done to protect the
residents of that locality from the
flooding by the Fallbrook creek.
City Engineer kupp was called upon
for an explanation. He stated that Mr.
Killeen had been working there for
a couple Of days cutting the ice from
beneath the bridge. This is as far as
he can go, however, as the city solicitor
informed the engineer that the respon-
-sibility rests upon the Delaware and
Hudson company and the city should
not do anything which would take up
on it the responsibility of the damage
done. Mr.. Kupp stated that it would
take but q, few dollars to blow open the
channel so as to avoid further trouble
There was considerable discussion as
TO whether or not the city would as
sumo responsibility if it endeavored to
relieve the stress. The members were
unanimous in their opinion that some
steps should at once be taken to re-
1ieve the people, II the Delaware and
Hudson company is responsible the
solicitor should notify the Delaware
and Hudson to remove the obstruction.
The discussion ended by the matter be-
ing left in the hands of the street COM
mittee to take immediate action either
by forcing the company to act or in
having the obstruction removed by the
city.
In the matter of the fire alarm, Mr..
Thompson stated that Inspector Gill
leran had informed him yesterday af-
ternoon that that the fire, light and
water committee SO far had failed to
meet with him. Mr.. Thompson stated
that some thing should be done to get
the fire alarm system in order before
any more houses burn down.
Mr.. Evans, of the committee on treas
Grer and COLLECTORS accounts, reported
that the committee had found that the
list was not so bad as it first appeared
but suggested that hereafter the eX-
oneration list be turned in each year.
The report was adopted on motion of
Nealon. A resolution granting City
Treasurer Connor generations to the
amount of $l,996.75 was also adopted.
The December and January budget
of bills was ordered paid.
James Thompson's resolution direct
ing the city controller to request cer-
tain aldermen to turn over to the city
treasurer certain fines collected by
them or ON failure to comply Herewith

lected was referred to the Judiciary

Mr.. Harte took quite a long step in
discussing the political side OF the ques-
tlon, when he declared that IL rumors
were true, the prediction pledges of
the Republican and Democratic candi-
dates for mayor were against the sup
port of the municipal water project.
The fact is, that the only statement or
pledge that has been made by any of
the two candidates came from Mr.
Rommelmeyer the Republican candl-
date, who declared through The Tri-
bune that his platform was the plat
form of the people, whatever their
wishes might be.

Doctor Declares 1t Is the Natural
Remedy for Too Much Fat
In the restaurant nearly everybody
was too fat, and the physicians, in
cluding all those pendulous paunehes
and double chins in a sneering glanee,
remarked, why will men and women
be disfigured with corpulence when the
remedy is SO simple and sureo What
is the remedy? Why, it is, OF course,
the natural one that would occur to
an animal or savage. It is fasting.
Let the fat man or the fat woman fast
week, two weeks, three weeks, or q
month-fast till he or she be thin
corpulence, that most unsightly and
unhealthy condition, would vanish
from the face u the earth.
Il suppose these fools are afraid to
do this the physician continued, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Record.
"They think, probably that before they
would get sufficiently thin they would
starve to death. But the picture OF
the Cuban and the Indian famine vic
tins answer that fear we'll enough.
None of those folks died of starvation
till there was nothing left of them but
skin and bone. Fasting would be
very good thing for fat people to do
regularly. They would then keep al
ways shapely During their abstinence
.hev would live on and consume their
