ter settled by the next meeting of the
board. The general opinion is that the
solicitor will decide that the storm
water sewers are a part of the street
reconstruction. as the streets cannot be
paved without building storm water
sewers, and that he will further decide
that the city has to pay for it because
he has drawn several ordinances requir-

never once informed the boards that the

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., but costly
is the verdict of experts on the proposal
that London should be made a city of
silence by paving its roads with sheet
india rubber.
The proposal was the outcome of the
success OF the rubber road which has
recently been laid under the principal
archway of Buckingham palace, and of
several other private roads which have
been laid in London.
II is estimated that the initial cost
TO the ratepayers of every square yard
of rubber covered roadway would be
three pounds.

1t is hard to find out how to travel and
yet stay at home, but the puzzle has been
successfully solved this winter by a GER
tain young West Philadelphia couple. one
of whom-the wife-has been kept indoors
all winter on account of bad health. She
was ordered South, but objected to the sep
aratiOn from her family which such q
journey entailed and decided to remain at
home. This grew HOMOGENEOUS and as a
variation she decided to visit the various
hotels for more or less extended stays.
When the four walls IF home waxed too
familiar she and her husband would pack
their trunks and set off in d closed carriage
to the hotel which happened to strike their
fancy. In a few days they would return
home and soon again lie ready for another
excursion.
