IN MEMORIAM. Mrs. Emorett Vail.
(Conmunicated.) l

(Communicated.)
 The passing on to the heavenly life of this unselfish and gentle soul has brought a great sense of personal loss, not only to the family of Mrs. Vail, but to a large circle of admiring friends who now have left to them a tender and fragrant memory of noble purpose and loving deeds.
 ''To live in hearts we love
 Is not to die"
 Mrs. Vail was the widow of George Vail, whom she survived upward of thirty years.
 Most of these years of widowhood have been occupied largely in connec- ton with her sister, Miss Erneline Up- son, in conducting boarding house of high grade at 1S3 Wooster street.
 The hosts who have enjoyed the pe- culiarly home-like hospitality of these motherly sisters will always hold in loving memory dear Mrs. Vail and her attractive rest-home." Being a wonl- an of great heart and large sympathy, Mrs. Vail found, time, even in her ex- tra busy life, to minister to the needs of the. unfortunate. She loved to do good, and many she had helped over hard places live to bless her memory.
 Her life was controlled by the high est principle-love for. God and His children.
 Mrs. Vail united in her youth with the Baptist church of Westfeld, Mass. For nearly a quarter of century she had been an earnest member of the First Baptist church of New Haven, which she loved with whole hearted devotion. She was also charter mem Der of the Comforting circle of the Kings Daughters.
 Mrs. Vail lived a most lovable and practical Christian life, and our Father permitted her to fall sweetly asleep on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 21.
 The deep sympathy of friends is given to her family, especially to the sister who has so closely shared her joys, sorrows and life work-the bless ing of humanity.

STREET DEPARTMENT.

This department. during the past ton
years has disbursed more money than
any other department in the citY-thc
amount being about $4,000 Of this
amount tt35 90 was spent for permanent
Improvement
AS represented by the engineers re-
port, it consists of about twenty miles
of macadam and paved streets which
means that each mile of permanent work
has cost on an average of $3.50 Notwith-
standing this large amount of permanent
work has boon done. there are a large
number of street in a very poor con-
dition. aud the residents are insisting
and demanding that they be improved.
But when we consider that every dollar
of the permanent Improvement fund has
been used any further permanent work
is practically Impossible. as the twenty
per cont tax levy must necessarily be
used for the purpose of repairs and street
cleaning.
Now | 10 not wish to find any fault
on account of the large amount that has
been spent on our streets, because !
think now ana have always claimed
that it WAS one of the best Investments
We could make, providing it is disbursed
in wise and economical manner. A par
tial investigation by mo reveals the fol-
lowing facts:
The city charter pre- ecrihos the duty OF
tho city engineer. AZ follows:
section 12G Tho city engineer and sur
Voyor shall make all public surveys Of tn,
streets and public grounds of said city
and perform such other services - may

Notwithstanding this. the board Of stree

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1904-11-25
Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Another week of dry, cold weather has
come, and as consequence have heard
of but few transactions in the tobacco
line, nor do [ expect to hear of many un-
til good casing weather shall prevail.
The outlook for the remainder hanging
on the poles is that it may require to be
steamed down, as was the fact last year.
Sunday morning it began to rain and
and snow, finally settling down and Civ
ing US about two or three inches of snow.
In the afternoon it Tained some and in
the evening it rained quite hard, but the
weather was too cold to dampen tobacco.
[ have heard Of only one man even open
ing his she'd and that was only for
short time Sunday morning. The news
from all the tobacco raising districts is
about the same. The buying of the
1904 crop is at standstill owing to the
dry, cold weather. Our correspondents
report as follows: Conway, Mass:
Nothing new to report; have not had
damp spell for three weeks, so there is
not much tobacco off the poles yet. and
it begins to look as though we would
have cold fingers to strip with Suf-
field, Ct.: Tobacco raisers are pleased
with the quality of their tobacco, and
also with the prices demanded and paid;
Zoe, 21c and &c were the prices received
for three crops sold. I hear of no sales
being made for less than 2Oc. Some have
their crops ready for shipment; one
warehouse is already in operation" East
Deerfield, Mass: "Only two sales so far
at 15c and tic. and only one or two that
have got much down yet. The next
damp spell will see quite lot taken
down" East Whateley, Mass: II have
to report the sale of six acres, by Warren
p Crafts, for 20c in bundle. .'-Cultiva-
