HARD WORK TO
 FIND THIS TITLE

That is strange case the city at torney is at work on for the depart, ment of public works. Some time ago 1t was decided to buy the Sprague farm at the East Mountain reservoir. At that time st was understood that the tract contained only seventy-six acres, but when 1t came to look up the title 1t developed that 1t called for almost twice that number of acres, The place formerly belonged to the Paines and consisted of a dozen Or more patches When they sold it to Mir Spraigue all were included in one deed for something less than a hun. dred acres, but when the total acreage of the several small lots were looked up and added together they footed up 13O acres. This leaves q good sized farm listed in the name of Mir Spraigue that nobody can locate. Mir Spraigue denies that he has 1t spirited away in his barn or cow shed, and Commissioners Jackson and Holmes, the purchasing agents. have not been able to find any trace of it, although they have hunted all over Prospect. taking particular care to look into the basins of both reservoirs As a result of this confusion the property has not yet been transferred to the city. There Is nothing very unusual about this. Tn olden times very little surveying was done and in many cases neither the purchaser nor the man who sold knew how many acres were included in the transaction.

BUREAU OF ASSESSMENT.
Damages Will be Claimed If Building
 Line Is Established.

At the meeting of the Bureau of Assessment last night Judge Root, representing Mrs Agnes Sherman, stated that ill case ten foot building line should be established on the Watertown road, his cli- ent would claim $1,600 dam ages. J. H. BaIil, John McCaul- ey, A. H. Wells, and several others also stated that they would claim damages for ten foot line. Many of the opponents of the project asked nothing when the hearing was on for a fifteen foot line, but they feel quite different regarding the new proposia tion. Attorney Byrne appeared for H. B Gilson and put his claim at S2.- GOO. Nobody appeared at the hear4 ing regarding the layout of new street through the Tracy property from Baldwin street to the Mulcahv school. This street was laid out a year ago and sewers and water mains laid therein without vote of any board so that what is now beinR done is simply a sort of healing act. There was considerable opposition to the proposed layout of Wood street. which calls for four foot filllat some points. Leo c, Herr said that before he started to build there lie tried to get some information from the bu4 reau of engineering regarding the grade of the new street, but was in- formed that inasmuch as the work. had not been completed no such ins formation was available. MT Herr then built to what he believed would be right and now he finds himself with a store about four feet below the proposed grade of the street If 1t goes through he will claim SI.oOO damages. The ScoviIl Manufacturing Co, through MT Filling, also entered q protest against the grade. The board will look at the different places next Friday afternoon.
