BURSTING OF RESERVOIR.

The Savage reservoir, one of the FIVE
belonging to the Utica Water Works
Company, and supplying water to
Utica, n. Y, burst its bounds yester-
day afternoon and sent Its millions upon
millions of gallons of water on a mission
of destruction through the eastern sub
urbs of the city. Houses were hurried
from their foundations, barns upset.
trees uprooted, and all sent tumbllng
down stream. Considerable live stock
was also caught in the torrent and swept
to destruction. Many bridges, too, with
their stone abutments, were swept aside
like chips. The twenty-foot culvert un-
der the West Shore Railroad tracks in
Utica became clogged at 4 o'clock.
Trees and bridges had been washed
down the valley and above the culvert

was great lake of rushing water filed
with all kinds OF debris. The Glen,
west of the Masonic Home, became a
roaring flood. At 4:30 o'clock there
was a better condition at the reservoir.
OF the millions of gallons of water con-
tanned in the big dam, nearly third of
it had made its escape. The upper half
Of the bottom of the reservoir had made
its appearance and there was consider
able relief in the minds of those watch
ing. BY o'clock practically all danger
was passed and a survey ofthe path Of
the torrent showed that damage estimat-
ed at 1926. 900 had been inflicted. At
least twenty barns, three houses, and
several other farm buildings had been
carried away and destroyed and the loss
of live stock is considerable.

GETTING READY
A Call to be Made on the Bonds for
Fraternity Building.
Arrangements to be Made at Once for
Erection Of Building.

The bonds for the fraternity build
ing to be erected on the site adjoining
the government building near Broad
way and Fifth will be issued shortly.
The joint committees Of the Odd Eel.
lows and Masons held a meeting last
night and oiiioislly' decided to begin
work at once.
The Odd Fellows officially reported
that they had raised their share of the
second mortage bonds, 81, 500, and the
Masons announced several days ago
that they had raised theirs.
Adding this to the s35, 900 on first
mortgage bonds makes $50, 900 with
which TO erect the building.
The directors have decided to issue
n call for 25 per cent on the bonds by
September /. Tonight q meeting Of
the executive board: will be held at
Architect Davis office to 20 over the
plans and decide on alterations, after
which bids will be taken.

THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Thursday.
THE DAWN OF REASON.

The public likes to see some mani
festation Of progressiyeness in the
municipal bodies such as was exhibit
ed Monday night in n number of
things that came before the council
manic board. Among the matters re-
ferred for subsequent report were the
plan to pave the streets in the bust
ness portion of the city, the project to
erect new city hospital in q conven-
lent locality, the ordinance to improv-
Jefferson street, the steam heating
ordinance which will enable the peo-
Pile to obtain heat in winter and cool
air in summer, the move to establish
automatic gates at the railroad cross
ings, the steps to secure filtration
plant, and the move towards increas-
ing the wharf facilities.
All of these have been repeatedly
urged by The Sun, and are improve
ments that are necessary and advis-
able. To have them would be to give
the city something long needed, and
something that would prove Of inesti-
mable benefit to her and her people.
II has long been evident that we
needed better and more substantial
streets in the business portion Of the
city, where heavy traffic keep them
continually worn down, and cost large
amounts every year for repairs. In
addition, it is time that Paducsh was
getting up-to-date streets, thorough
fares that are pleasing in appearance
as well as lasting.
The sooner this is done the better.
Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth
streets should be reconstructed of
brick or asphalt tor at least block
or two from Broadway. Jefferson
and Court streets should be similarly
improved, and as many others as pos
sible. OF course it would be good
thing IL our streets were all Of brick
or asphalt, but IS they can't be, a
portion at least should be.
A city hospital has been needed
many years, and the question has been
agitated before, but with no success 1t
can be shown how a hospital even Of
expensive character, could bs made
self-sustsining, and something that
the city could feel proud Of With
