and each number was executed in a me n
ner to reflect credit upon both pupils and
the careful training Of the teachers.
The program opened with song by
the sixth and seventy grades under the
direction Of Miss Hall and then all grades
united in recitng the 25d Psalm after
which the invocation was offered by Rev.
A. Secord, thenfollowed rectations, solos,
class songs and exercises all receiving
warm applause.
The violin solo by little Miss Irene
Sackett quite surprised the audience from
the fine touch and feeling given it, and
the little children from the North sids
kindergarten quite carried the people by
storm with their pretty dolls and baby
ways. The DAISIES in two exercises were
indeed most beautiful and life like daisies.

RIGHT TO CUT GRASS
Lot owner Has Title TO the Center Of
the street

the street
The question has recently been asked
who owns the grass growing in the
highway in front Of private property in
the viIlage9" and in order that our read
ers may be informed upon this matter we
quote what an eminent law writers says:
The private ownership of land ex-
tends to the center of the highway by
which it is bounded The public has
certain rights in streets and highways
but it does not own the SOIL The title TO
this is in the adjacent proprietor. Nsither
the public nor an individual has any more
right to dig and carry away gravel, to
cut sod, to gather fruit or to pasture
stock along the road than it has inside of
a mans fence. For doing these things a
man has the same private right of redress
that he would have s they were done in
side of his inclosure. Private ownership
also extends to land covered by water,
except in the case of the sea. the great
lakes and navigable rivers. BY navigable
rivers is meant rivers where the ocean
tides ebb and flow. Therefore the courts
in this country generally but not uniyer-
sally. hold that those who own land along
the bank of river own the land under
the water to the centerof the main chan
mel, or, as it is usually expressed, to the
thread Of the stream. The owner there
fore, exclusively has the right Of fishing,
the right to cut ice, and 10 make such
other private uses Of the property as do
not interfere with the public right of
nayig alton"
Our Supreme Court in Smeherg VS.
Cunningham. SO Mich. 5z8, say that an
abutting lot-owner in city owns the fee
of the land to the center of the street.
with the right to its use. subject to the
public easement, and may set out shade
trees, construct sidewalk and exercise
other acts of ownership and possession
which do not interfere withthe public use
