There was much excitement among

strike of long duration ana many
conflicts had occurred between strik-

An all day investigation tends to
show that the catastrophe was due to

On the question of street commits
sioner which is important to the vii.
lage, the following action was taken.
j. II. Livingston offered to perform
the duties Of that Office for five months
at 800 per month and seven months at
S25 per month, total of $685.
ID. Il. Moore offered to do the same
thing for the year for not to exceed
the $3.50 and to furnish the use of quite
a quantity of tools free.
Marshall Clapp was willing to do it
at the same rate paid in the past, 81
per day.
Tax payers of the village were pres
ent and on their behalf was suggested
that all propositions be put upon the
same basis, that is the amount it
would cost the village made certain,
but the trustees did not take that view
of the question, and Mr. Clapp's pro
position was accepted and he was APP
pointed street commissioner.
II this results in charges by him for
every working day in the year, as has
for some time been the custume, it
would appear that the village loses
$3.50 at least by his appointment, as
Stunning that Mr. Moore would be equal
ly as effective as street commission.
