A hundred or more residents OF West
Park gathered in an open field on North
Main avenue last evening. for the pur-
pose of finding out how the general
I condition of things could be improved,
as that part of the city is rapidly be-
coming one of it's finest residence CEN
tcrs. Those owning properties there
want the city to do something towards
furnishing electric lights, proper grades,
sewers and pavements.
At present cows are allowed to run
wild and as a result one man had a
fine front lawn ruined. The city has
an ordinance forbidding people to allow
cattle to run loose, but at the time or
it's passage West Park was farming
center and in consequence the twenty
first ward was cut out of the ordinance.
The property holders desire the ordi-
nance amended SO that the Twenty
first ward will be included.
West Park is situated on side hill
and on account of the lack of sewers
all the water from over fifty acres runs
down Dram boulevard to Main avenue
thus keeping the street most impass-
ehle. The only way to remedy this
would be to install a complete system
of sewers.
OF course. nothing can be done ] :
the city until this plot is accepted and
the present reason for its nOn-accept-
ance lies in the fact that the land COM
pany refuses to ci'.'~~o I've r"ade of its
street to suit the city engineer. unless
the city will agree to become liable for
all damages caused by change of grade
j. j. McAndrew. the select council
man from the Twenty-first ward. was
present and addressed the meeting
Mr. McAndrcws said that he was doing
all in his power to further the inter-
ests of West Park. but until the plot
was accepted nothing could be done in
council for the placing there OF fire
alarm boxes or electric lights.
The agent of the land company also
spoke, and assured the residents that
If the city would only become rcspon-
sible for damages the land company
would gladly and at any time change
the grade of the streets. The land COM
pany has been trying to get the prop
erty holders on Pettcbonc street to
sign a release. so that the street could
he properly fixed. Thus far the land
owners have absolutely refused to sign

present. and assured the property hold
ers of his hearty cooperation in their
plans for the hcttermcnt of the present
conditions. After general discussion
as to ways and means. tho matter was

of that opportunity. The state depart
ment is not encouraging him in this
attitude, preferring to avoid all entan-
clements but, being on the spot and
willing to do what he can to prevent
crisis, Mr.. Bowen may be allowed some
measure of discretionary power.
The state department is perfectly
aware of the intentions of the British
and German governments having been
sounded in advance, and it has seen no
reason to interfere at this stage. if at
all. 1t was perhaps for the reason that
the state department had already been
fully advised as to the programme to
be adopted by the British and German
governments touching Venezuela that
the incidents of yesterday at Caracas
caused so little stir in official circles.
So the attitude of our government just
now is one of waiting.
An official not long returned from
Venezuela stated that TO the best of his
Judgment the sum of $5.000,0O0 will
probably cover the claims upon which
the ultimate issued yesterday were

defaulted for several years the inter-

The English claim also covers a
number of items growing out of the
government appropriation of British
railroads.
