main now being put in would increase
the capacity of the plant 30 per cent.
Attention was called to the fact that the
rents had been equalized during the past
ycar. and that there had been consid-
cradle increase in revenues from that
source. Information was given the coun-
eli that that department of the city gov.
crnment had paid all its running ex-
penses, interest on the water works
bonds. the bonds which came due, and
the improvements on the plant. He ia
vored the creation of a sinking fund in
that department for emergencies, and
suggested that the strict observance OF
sections 10 and II on page 81 of the
city ordinances would improve matters
very much. Under this head he thought
that a regular plumber should be en-
ployed by the city, who could also be an
assistant to the commissioner of water
works.
In discussing saloons, he thought they
should be given proper protection, since
they had paid for the privilege to do
business, but he asked that the Wholesale
trade be restricted and that wholesale
dealer be not allowed to sell under five
gallons. He requested the council not

characters had been quietly made to

i tbey must never return. He thought the

considerably last wear and he expressed

In conclusion he assured the council

PRINCIPAL EVENTS OF A WEEK
State Items of General Interest FROM
Various Sources for the Benefit
Of Our Readers.

Green Bay, Wis, Oct. o6.-Fire has
destroyed one OF the oldest buildings in
this city, and with it papers giving
the most correct account of the early
fur trade in Wisconsin. The building
was the old Grignon residence, built
by Judge John Lave in 1882. 1t was
occupied by David Grignon, a grand
son, whose grandmother was a sister
Of John Quincy Adams. Among the
antiquities saved were the famous Pol
ly Lave piano, the first brought into
the west, and an oil painting of the
wife of John Quincy Adams.
Many attempts have been made to
secure the books in the Grignon Ii
brary, some of which were 200 years
old, but they always proved futile.
The reception to the royal party from
France which came in search for the
lost Dauphin was held in the Grignon
house in the early 3O's.
