 --The water fountain at the corner of Bank street and Washington ave-
 nue received new coat of green l paint to-day, but as yet no drinking cups have arrived. The cups that 1 were put there in the spring were 1 stolen by boys more than month ago
 and the people who took an occasion al drink there have been waiting for
 cups to replace the old ones ever
 since. The water has been running ever since and 1t is only waste, for l the fountain is of no value to the l thirsty without drinking cups. When l the cups are replaced this time they should be fastened h such a manner l that 1t will be impossible for the small boy to take it away.
 During the past few days some l mischievous persons have taken some of the paving stones that were piled up along Bank street and distributed l them in the center of the street. Some of the boys who make a practice of doing just this kind of work had bet 1 ter look out for themselves for some l day they will come to grief when 1 they are cOllared at the act. 1t should be remembered that throwing these stones in the street is endan-. gering peoples lives. This is very bad place for bicycle riders and team sters in the evening and the putting of stones in the street renders 1t more so. When the street was dug I'D it was protected with lights all along Bank street, but since the ditch was filled in and the paving stones piled up along the side of the streets the lights have disappeared. The lights are just as much needed now and should be replaced. Some one is neg lecting his duties and the matter should be investigated before ana ac- cident occurs.
