COUNCIL ACTS QUICKLY,
MAKES AN APPROPRIATION
TO REPAIR FLOOD DAMAGE
Special Session, Acting as a Unit,
Places $4,000 at Disposal
of Board of Works.

Republicans, However, Oppose
Bond Issue of $500 900, and
Matter Is Referred.

In accordance with the request of Mayor
Holtzman and the Board of Public Works
for funds with which to make immediate
repairs to property damaged by floods,
Council met last night and passed an or
dinance appropriating $4,000 TO the use of
the Board of Public Works for flood re-
pairs.
At the same time an ordinance from Con-
troller Dunn, sent to the Council with a
communication from Mayor Hoffman.
Hoffman asking its passage. providing for
the issue of $4,000 of bonds of the city of

other public works which were damaged by

be called for second reading. Although it
was a measure backed by the Democratic
city administration, Councilman Moriarity.
Democratic member from the Eleventh
ward, led the movement against it.
The ordinance appropriating $4,000 for the
immediate of the Board of Public
Works in flood repairs met with no opposi-
ton, and the rules were suspended for it's
unanimous passage. This money will be
taken from the general fund, TO be re-
placed later from funds realized by the
sale of bonds. AS emergency measure
it met with general support.
OPPOSE OUTLAY OF 100000
Republican members of the Council were
opposed to the immediate passage of the
ordinance making the $4,000 appropriation,
as they were inclined to the belief that the
hastily made estimates of the cost of re-
pairs by the city engineer were too high.
BY referring the ordinance. to the finance
committee, the Republican members
thought more time would be given for a
careful estimate, and possibly "A lower one.
The ordinance will be reported with such
changes as are deemed expedient by the
Republican majority of the finance COM
mittee at next Monday evenings regular
meeting of the Council.
Accompanying the ordinance. which was
drawn by City Controller Dunn, was a de-
tailed statement from City Engineer Jeup.

MuRDERous CATS.
They Kill Thousands Of Birds Every

Year.
II is with great pleasure that | see
In different magazines and journals
how many people are trying to pro-
tect the birds, especially the bluebirds
and wrens. These two birds are
among our best beloved birds. Both
need mans assistance, especially SO
the bluebirds. AS the English spar
row pushes farther and farther into
the country, occupying all the former
nesting places of the bluebird, and as
old trees are cut down and orchards
are trimmed and pruned, it becomes
harder every year for bluebirds to
find nesting sites. The bluebird and
wren are characteristic of the Ameri-
can home. Every effort to save them
from extinction is most praiseworthy.
A great deal of the work of bird
lovers, game protectors, bird maya
zines, legislation, ETC., Is brought to
naught by the multitude of cats that
swarm in the country. The other day
a neighbor of mine said friend of
his in New York wanted to send him
a dozen quail for stocking purposes,
81 replied" continued by neighbor,
that it was no use. At the next
house they have seven cats, the next
five, another two. another 20 odd and
so on" Here in the Hudson valley
in winter one sees more cat tracks
than anything else Set a trap for
mink along the loneliest brook, or for
skunk in the farthest field, and you
are more likely to catch cat. The
very people who would have you ar
rested for shooting a day out of sea-
son, and who speak of hunting as
wanton slaughter, will rejoice in the
number of birds, squirrels, rabbits,
chipmunks, quail, etc., their cats kill.
1t has been carefully estimated that
the cats of New England alone kill
100000 birds year. But recently
neighbor came to me rejoicing in the
fact that their cat had Just killed a
wren. Another neighbor brags OF
their cat and how she brings in rab-
bit nearly every day. A cat that
could kill hermit thrush should
have a medal and pension. The Ia
dies of the Audubon societies that
cry out against wearing feathers in
hats will keep supply OF cats that do
more damage than all the milliners
in the country. Every spring thou
sands of city families go to the coun-
try to spend the summer that at once
get a brood of kittens. All summer
they make delightful pets, being fed
on cream and caressed and kissed by
the children of the family. In the
fall these people return to the city,
turning their pets adrift without a
thought 1t is cruel to the cats
those that escape starvation live on
birds and game, bringing up broods
of wild cats the next year.
1t is a rule here among the quail
hunters to shoot all cats on sight. II
all the hunters of the country would
take this up, great good no doubt
would result. Dead falls, of the COM
mon figure four" type, set under
hedges, ETC., would exterminate many
cats. Poisoning is dangerous and not
to be thought of.-John Burroughs In
