Let Justice he Done.

Now and then the JOURNAL hears the
achievements of 1.-The Benson Council
disIaraged by talk unwarranted by the
| facts.
A remark of this character this week
aroused a review of Councils work dur
ing 1901, as follows:
1, The ordinance prohibiting the keep
ing of hogs within corporate limits, I'M
questionably sanitary step fully i'll line
with civilized regard for the public
health and comfort.
2, The law providing for the more
effective collection of water dues by max
ing them, like taxes, liens upon the
real estate to which the water is supplied.
The same chapter provides for securing
in like manner to the town costs in
Cured in paving sidewalk, making land
lords in the one instance and owners in
the other efficient assistants of the col
lectOr.
3, The law which empowers Council
to pave the streets upon the petition and
agreement of the majority of property
owners abuttlng thereon to pay two
thirds of the cost of said paving, the re-
manning third to be paid by the town at
large-atfording streets and people an
opportunity to secure an improvement of
the most valuable character.

Wnn.f Wark in Rain

'There's q queer thing about Ital- ian laborers," said contractor who employs q great many of them, and that is that they absolutely refuse to work in the rain. Stop minute and think. Did you ever see a gang of them working on the streets, dig ging trenches or doing any other manual labor, in the rain? We'll, you never did, and probably never will. Just as soon as a shower sets in, no matter how slight, they. will scram- ble for cover. If the rain continues they will soon complain of feeling sick, and knock off for the day. One fellow will have sore throat, an other will be doubled up with pains in his stomach, and others will sud denly acquire equally severe ailments of all sorts It is useless to attempt to do anything with them, and pret- ty soon they will all go trooping home. Why is it? l suppose it's their natural antipathy to water" Chicago Journal
