"we asked that the city should not
grant franchise over the approach
and offered to build the approach. We
were informed that the city was able
to manage it's own affairs. =.
Are you ready to carry out your pro-
mise? Will you rescind the franchise? :?
The county stands willing to build

"What promise was made? asked
Alderman Donovan. SIS there anv
agreement? If so, is it verbal or in
writing?" Freeholder Haney answered
that the agreement was verbal
There WAS an idea, "said Mr.. Hauey.
"that, where the city builds an ap-
proach, it has complete control. This
was contradicted by the Woodbridge
Greek affair.
"The bridge is now where the al
derman agreed. Why did you ask the
Central railroad company to bear part
of the expense? AS it is, the termin-
al point of the bridge was changed

That street is in q gully. | would
suggest that committees from both
boards be appointed to confer with tho
traction company and ask them to
give up their franchise. The free
holders have kept their promise; the
aldermen have not.
Alderman loft disagreed with M.
Haney and an argument followed.
Freeholder Glenn, chairman of the
bridge committee, stated that the
county had built approaches to all its
bridges. He said that the rreoholders
some timo ago passed resolution to
grant franchise for not less than
$50, 600. "This matter, said he, "has
to be acted Oh by both boards. "
"Does not the law compel the free
holders to build the approach" ask ed
Mr.. Pfeiffer.
After an exchange between Mr..
| Glenn and Mr.. Pfeiffer, the latter
said: "The freeholders were defeated
In the case of the Woodbridge Greek
bridge. This matter appears to me to
be a question of law. Speaking for
myself, l am willing to work hand in
hand with the freeholders. But 1t
seems to me that the freeholders az
legally not in it." He mentioned Il
protest from tho County Board i'll re-
gard to the approach.
Director Fountain jumped up and
asked If the records of the clerk
showed any protest from the Board OF
Freeho!ders. Clerk Reilley said that
| they did not, as 10 or 20 spoke at the
hearing last year and that he did not

A Big Plum,

Dominion Fruit Inspector Wartman,
says the Montreal Star while inspect
ing California fruit, discovered Kel-
sey Japanese plum which measured
S12 inches in circumference. and
weighed six ounces. 1t was green in
color, and shaped much like pear,
the stem being the larger. The fruit
was sound throughout, very luscious.
and destitute Of coarseness in texture
and flavor usually present in very large
specimens of fruit. The pit was no
larger than that Of an ordinary Lom-
bard or Damson plum grown in Cana
da. While this specimen was the larg-
est noticed in Is cases of this variety.
there were many Others of extraordi-
nary size. Out OF the Is cases there
was not a single inferior or damaged
specimen, although the fruit must have
been at least ten days picked before
reaching Montreal, so carefully do Cal
ifornia growers pick, pack and ship
their fruit.

While on the road one day, driving very

TO notice by the roadside a young fellow
about IL years old, dressed in as ragged
fashion as anyone you could ever conceive
Of. He had on a pair of his fathers worn
out trousers, which were cut off at the
bottom, and which extended far up on
his body, almost to his shoulders. More
as a matter of personal amusement than
for any other reason, | asked him how far
1t was to the next town.

me, asking me to stop.
Say, mister, he asked, and what mout
your name be?

And then ne grinned. He grinned all

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 81 Especially
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure of the little daughter OF |. \.
Whipkey Of Rheumatism. She was a great
sufferer for five or six years and moth
ing seemed to do her any good till she tried
Dodd 5 Kidney Pills. She began to i'm
prove almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other children do.
Mr.. Whipkey says:
Il am indeed thankful for what Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being cripple per.
haps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
rheumatism is one of the results of dis.
eased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by
Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are
right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood,
and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd S
Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right.
