Last year there was considerable
building done in Snow Hill and 1t
looks now as if this year will be another
busy one with our carpenters. Several
of our citizens have expressed their
determination to erect dwellings. One
of the drawbacks seems to be the
scarcity of building lots in the center Of
the town. The macadamizing of some
of the principal streets will make the
property on such streets more valuable
and the surroundings will surely be in
keeping with the improvements to the
streets. Our people should get to work
early this year and improve their
premises. Paint. whitewash. or tear
down old fences. and keep yards in nice
condition. so that Snow Hill will be.
come beautiful town.

Waverley place, who pronounced the case
acute cerebro-spinal meningitis and advised
that the boy be taken 10 hospital at once.
The doctor says that the Board Of Health
was notified, but replied that it could do
nothing. Through district nurse the boy
was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, 4O7 West
Thirty-fourth street. When Mrs. Fraw-
ley got back from the hospital in the
afternoon, she found her children Dora
aged 10, Mamie, o, and James. 8, all suffer

sible for the deaths. They say that prior

Saturday. He says he was shown records,
according TO which the street had been
cleaned two weeks before. On Sunday a
gang appeared and removed the snow and
ice. This was covered with decayed refuse

OF the street, which one tenant said had been
accommodating for three months.

tenement from the one behind il Il an open

There has been heap Of dirty snow and
garbage in the yard all winter. II was
being removed yesterday in accordance
with orders from the Health Department,
The tenants also say that garbage has stood
on the sidewalks in front Of the house for
days at a time before removal. The whole
building has now been dtsinfected and
kalsomined.

STRIKE BREAKERS GONE HOME
4 Few Remain a. the Highest Wages they
Ever Earned-Six strikers Indicted.


Ever Earned-SiN Strikers Indicted.
James Farley paid of his strike breakers
yesterday, giving them the option Of re-
turning to the cities they came from or re-
naming in the service Of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company. Most Of them
elected to remain here and keep the highest
wages paid to motormen in the country,
but some who came from Western cities on
three weeks leave Of absence returned by
late trains.
General Manager Hedley said that he
was satisfied that matters we're in such
shape that normal conditions would exist
in a day or two. He was asked IL the strike
breakers brought here under a special rate
Of $3.50 day as motormen would be kept
at those wages.
They will undoubtedly he said. They
are skilled men and broke the strike
1t was stated unofficialy tn at about 70
per cent. of the strikers are likely to get
back sooner or later, though some may
have to wait for months. At present the
company mas all the motormen and con-
duCtors II needs.
Commissioner McAdOo received from
August Belmont yesterday the resolutions
Of the marlborough directors, thanking
the police for the protection they gave
the railroads property in the strike. Some
OF the police had hoped that the company
might give a sum 70 the Police Pension
Fund, perhaps enough to establish the new
fund for relieving cases which the pension
fund is barred by its terms from assisting.
The only relief in such cases now must come
from special public subscriptions or benefit
performances.
All the police on strike duty we're sent
back to regular posts yesterday Com
missioner McAdoo will issue general order
thanking the men for their conduct while
on strike duty. II has cost the city $4,000
for their meal tickets.
Six strikers who we're arrested for inter-
fering with switches or tampering with
car brakes we're indicted by the Grand
Jury yesterday. They are charged with
having committed felony. The extreme
penalty is twenty years.
