to $1S,331 last year. In this depart
ment as we'll as in all other labor items
the higher cost of labor caused an in
crease of 33 1-3 per cent, the wage
scale in 80 being S1.50 for ten hours.
while now it is SLIGO for eight hours.
There is also included the increased
cost of sweeping eleven miles of paw
ing instead of seven, $1,36S, the extra
cost of cleaning one-third more side
walks, the cost of grading for many
new walks, laid mostly upon the pc
tition of property owners the build
ing of many new crossings, totaing an
additional labor expense of $4,2S4 and
an additional lumber expense of $499.
Over $1,000 Of the total labor and lum-
Der was spent on the repairs of North
Third avenue alone, a street made
dangerous by heavy washing. A new
sweeper, wagon and horses cost 1914.
Asphalt intersections cost $2,045; side
walk approaches cost $1307 and extra
civil engineering cost $499.
Salary Account.
There is an increase of over s., 900
for the year, shown in the salaries Of
officers, which is due to the addition of
fire chief at 5000, a raise on city mar
shall of $50. a raise on street commits
sioner of $500 An item of 1915 paid
the city physician more than in '99,
when he appears to have received only
$25. An error of s137 in a lumber
charge, an item of $50 for the extra
councilmen attending council meetings,
and an increase of $15S in additional
fees to the city solicitor.
Water Fund.
An increase of $16947 in expendi-
lures in the water department is not
of SO much Importance since there has
also been an increase of $9,495 in wat
err rent receipts. In 1899 when the wat
err supply was taken direct from the
galleries and river, it did not cost as
much by $1,000 to maintain the pump
ing perks as it does to pump now from
the drive wells. Last years expendi-
ture for this item was less than in any
year since the drive wells We're put in.
Coal cost more per ton than in '99 to
the extent of 5000 and two salaries
have. been raised SIS per month each.
There has been $500 increase in the
city clerks salary, a deputy clerk at
$3.50 per year, an inspector of mains at
$3.50 and an assistant superintendent
of mains at $3.50, aggregating $2,460 in
crease. Also an adding machine at
$3.50 and heavy expense of running
water connections with the curb line on
streets where paving was laid.
The item Of $10.313 charged to water
supply was over $500 more than in
1899, but was due entirely to first
payments on the new reservoir, sS,516
and $1,797 for improvements on the
drive wells.
The water mains were extended last
year under the new pavements at an
extra cost of $4,313.
The water meters also cost fully
$1,210 more than 1899 but all of this
will return when meters are sold and
nearly $1,000 worth are now on hand.
The cost of Prof Weems, DR.. Hoff-
man, Floyd Davis, Macy, Francis,
Grimes and Daniel w. Mead amounted
to s745 to conduct the water analy
ses.

men Of the Revolution" might have

and proper regard for behavior.
When l saw the old soldier, says MI
Muzzey, he was the sole survivor OF
those who witnessed the battle OF
Bunker Hill. At the age of IS years
he was attending a Wing celebration
held at Boston in 1850, and there !
met him. He was a good-loOking old
man, with a large, well-shaped head,
blue eyes and mild expression. His
whole countenance beamed with ben.
evidence.

"Oh, yes, have two sons" he re-

"Why did you not bring them with
you"

kled into a semblance Of a frown as
he said:

those boys on an occasion Of this
