Improve Fourth Street Road.

1t is likely that the next road to be
improved by the county commissioners
will be the country road that leads from
Fourth street east into the country.
The commissioners will not be able to
do any extensive road building before
next year. No levy was made for road
improvement this year. There are some
funds on hand and these will be used
in completing the Rochester road and
the West Sixth avenue road.

SAILING VESSEL, AFIRE,
SIGHTED FAR At SEA
Crew of Burning Lumber Ship Had
Been Taken Of.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Captain Stew
art, of the steamer Laurentian, which
arrived here today from Glasgow and
Neville, reported having sighted an I'M
known vessel on fire at sea. He said
that on September 2, at o'clock in the
morning. when in latitude 1910. longi-
tude 5433, he saw a vessel completely
enveloped in smoke. Upon approaching
the craft he discovered that she had
been abandoned and the boats contain
ing the crew could not be seen.
The foremost and mainmast were
standing with sails set. but the mizzen-
mast had gone by the board. After stand
ing by for a while the Laurentian pro-
ceeded on her voyage. Later in the day
Captain Stewart fell in with the fishing
schooner Pleiades. from the Grand
Banks Of Newfoundland, and make in
quiries regarding the identity of the
burning vessel. The skipper OF the fish
erman informed Captain Stewart that
the crew, fourteen in all, had been taken
OF the previous evening by the schooner
Blanche Rose, Of Harbor Breton, c. 3
He also said that the burning craft was
timber laden. but her name he did not
know. The vessel was leaking badly and
was settling down when the captain de-
cided 10 set fire 10 her and abandon her.

Wants Increase For
Cleaning City Streets

and other business establishments. not
otherwise provided for.
In support of this requisition, Super
intendent Stutler makes the following
pertinent coment:
Since the Inauguration of the service
for the collection and disposal or city
refuse from private residences resolu-
lions have been passed by the Board of
Trade and the Business Mems Associa-
ton, respectively. and numerous petit
lions and requests have been received
from individual business men, hotel
proprietors, owners of apartment
houses. etc, asking that the service be
extended to include all buildings as
well as private residences. They argue
that they are taxed just the same as
househoIders, and should, therefore. re-
ceive a like return.
From the standpoint OF public health
and cleanliness, it is extremely desira-
BILE that the collection of all city refuse
should be under the direction of this
department; and this cannot be done
while private collectors are permitted
TO remove ashes and miscellaneous
refuse from business places, hotels,
etc"

Early for Such Step.

Judge E B. Wilcox, of the Ponce dis

markable future for Porto Rico. He
says conditions are improving greatly
under American rule and Porto Rican
exports to this country now amount to

they were insignificant. Improvement
in the tobacco and sugar industries has
been marked and orange growing viii

dustries on the island
Coffee Growing Retarded.
Judge Wilcox says coffee growing alone
is rot showing the improvement seen
along other lines, ewing to injuries from
cyclones and to a tariff law enacted by
Spain against Porto Rican coffee. The
bulk of the yearly budget, which form
erly went to Spain, now is spent in the
island Educational and health condi-
tions are improving. There is a strong
desire for Statehood, Judge Wilcox says.
though thinking men realize present
conditions will not permit it. A marked
improvement in the administration of
Justice is noted
