MORE THAN THEY WANT.
Town Plot People Don't Want to Pay
 for Curb and Sidewalk.

Already some of the Town Plot people have got more public improve ments than they bargained for. Many of them made vigorous pro- tests against laying sidewalks and curbs on Avon and Highland avenues because they didn't think public ne- cessity and convenience required the outlay. Probably they were right, but they cannot take backward step now. If the work planned for that district is pushed it will not take long to bring a large share of the property owners to the front with a petition stating that they have had enough for the present. Men with big means and people who are not affected one way or the other so far as the cost is concerned. don't care how much money is spent in street, but men of modest means who have but a small equity in their homes, and whose income is barely equal to their expenses, are very timid about assuming additional burdens. because they know what they mean. It is too bad that the latter class remain in the background until things reach a stage where they cannot help them selves.

Brooklyn Bremen Saved Two Fam

The prompt response to a still alarm and effective work of Captain Dunn and his men from the Brooklyn engine house saved the two family residence of Martin Blade. 19 Drayer avenue, from being reduced to ashes this morning.

A still alarm was sent to the engine house on Washington avenue and the boys were at the spot in a tiny. Even at that a smart fire was raging in the kitchen and 1t looked as if 1t would be quite difficult to subdue the flames before they had worked their way into the other apartments. The men went to work with a vengeance and succeeded in extinguishing the fire before it did any damage to speak of outside the kitchen. which was badly gutted.

WATER MAIN TO
BE STRENGTHENED
SQUARE TURN AT PUMPING
STATION TO BE TAKEN up
City Weighmaster's tees, City De-
pository, and other Matters Con-
sidered at the Regular Meeting of
the City Council Wednesday
Night.

The city councf held regular
meeting. on Wednesday night. The
city weighmaster's fees, the city de-
pository, the strengthening of the
water main at the pumping station,
and the changing of s16 fee for
tapping the water main were the
principal matters considered.
F. A. Mullen, the city weighmaster,
reported over 400 weighings in the
seven months since the scales were
installed. On this basis, it was esti-
mated that the receipts from the city
scales would be about 5000 year.
Mr.. Mullen was appointed weigh
master without any definite bargain,
the old council preferring to first find
out about what the gross receipts
from the scales would be. When the
matter came up Wednesday night,
Mr.. Mullen wanted the council to set
the compensation for the weigher,
and the council wanted Mr.. Mullen to
make proposition. The matter was
then laid over to the next meeting.
A petition was received from pro-
perty owners in the sewer district
abutting east Fifth street asking for
sewer. The petition was laid over to
be taken up wnen other petitions now
being prepared are received.
Proposals were received from the

GRE IIIERY IS
A SUCCESS
TAKING FIVE HUNDRED POUND
OF BUTTER DAILY.
Beginning ON nonday, the Receipts
Have Been Gratifying, and the
Creamery now Receives ough
so as to Continue to Pay One
Cent Under New York.

The Morris creamery is a success
This long desired condition has beo
brought about by the action of tn 9
board in deciding to pay one cent
under New York prices for butter fat
Last week from Wednesday to Sat-
urday, 1858 pounds of butter were
churned. Monday started the new
deal with 4O4 pounds. Tuesday they
churned twice and made LOO pounds
Wednesday 500 pounds, Thursday $50
pounds and yesterday 400 pounds. On
Wednesday, 2,41S pounds of butter
was shipped.
An average of 40 pounds a day win
enable the creamery to continue to
pay one cent under New York.
The Morris creamery is now paying
better prices than any creamery Ola
this line, and is in fact paying better
prices than those who buy cream E8
ship at one cent under New York, be-
cause the shippers charge dockage
on thin cream. The creamery makes
no dockage at all.
But the end is not yet. The
creamery is not even now getting al
the cream it should from the farmers
near Morris, and if this cream were all
brought in, the creamery could pay
New, York prices even. Now that it
is success, make it bigger success,
and bring all the cream to the cream

Couucilor Vinje moved that the
city clerk notify Messrs. House,
Gutter, Lund, Hogan and Dreves-
kracht, that they had been overpaid
$10.41 each, and request them to re-
fund the same Carried.
Councillor Vinje brought up the
matter of Strengthening the water
main at the pump house, and moved
that the city clerk order the neees-
sary material. Some of the council
were hardly in favor of spending the
money at this time, but Mr.. Vinje
argued that the sooner the defect was
remedied the better, aud the motion
carried.
Councillor Watzke brought UP the
matter of the property owner paying
for making a connection with the
water mains. On account of the
mains lying nearer to one side of the
street than the other, some difficulty
was experienced in fixing basis, but
a resolution fixing fiat rate of $1t
was finally decided upon. This is
about the average cost, and heretofore

grand opera singer who adopts toward
life cheerful, full blooded, humorous
cynicism which is far more refreshing
than the vaporings of sixteenth
century hero. One bit of epigram in
especial is worth quoting. Tolna says:

human beings, pertending to be human
beings. All that human beings are
