I would say that in arriving at these
figures. n cut of 5000 was made from the
original estimate as to price of stacks
years before we would need all of tho
stack room as originally estimated.
There is one other matter | wish to
call your attention to.-the furnishing Of
water for our new poor farm. ! would
recommend that city water be furnished
by extending the water pipes along North
avenue. As there is quite question as
to the cost ard also the quality of water
obtained by sinking a well. and it is quite
probable that a water pipe will be laid
along North avenue in the near future.
OF account of the many now buildings
being erected in that section of the city.
Another reason is-North avenue being
one of our best pleasure drives. we sec
the need Of water not only for the pur-
pose OF LAYING the dust but also in pre-
serving the roadbed-s something that
would he very much appreciated by the
travelling public.
For these reasons I would recommend
to your honorable body, that you serious
~ consider the advisabiity of laying a
water pipe along North avenue, as the
most economical means OF solving the
water question.
Gentlemen, in view of these facts. as
shown, I think 1t is my duty to remind

REQUEST TO A CHURCH.
Legal Formally Necessary to Make thu
Money Available.

BY the will of the late Harriet NJ
Ashley of Milton the sum of 500 was
bequeathod to the wardens and vestry-
men of Trinity Episcopal Church but
as the church is only a mission, there
are no wardens or vestrymen and con-
sequently the church. at least at pres
emf, can receive no benefit from the gift.
The money was left without restric-
ton as to its use and soon after 1t was
willed an effort was made through the
probate court to have trustee appoint
ed to take charge of the money. There
was no provision in probate court for such
procedure and consequently proceed
ings in chancery have been brought by
Attorney T. f.. Hopkins, on behalf of
the church, for the purpose Of having
a trustee appointed. With a trustee in
charge the funds become available for
church use.
