BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS
Plan to Save Ten Per Cent on
Assessment for Tree
Planting.
Immediate Payment Will Help
Both Park Board
and the People.

The residents of Palmetto and
Palm streets are advised that if they
wish> to get the benefit OF straight
cost in the planting OF trees on those
streets they may do so by paying
into the city treasurer the sum Of
$3.50 for each tree received. If the
matter is put up as an assessment
10 per cent is added for advertising
and incidental expenses. An imme-
date payment will save almost rs
cents on each tree. Secretary Helm
advises the Editor OF the Labor
World that this will be the cheapest
way out Of it.
1t must be understood by this that
the Board OF Park commissioners
guarantee each and every tree, and
should any be injured or die the
board will replace them. The board
is most anxious to have the proper
ty holders on the Heights make early
payments so that they may have
money to carry on other like i'm
provements.,

M. Ferguson to Drop Case
Against Them.

E. M. Ferguson of Kndsen-Ferguson

business partner, H. b. Knudsen, from
Chicago that the Armour people had
asked for a conference with him and
other interested parties with view to
securing some sort Of compromise in
the refrigerator car controversy, and
thus bring about a dismissal of the
hearing held yesterday before the in
terstate commerce commission. Mr..
Ferguson declined to engage in any
conference.
The case yesterday was the result Of
