 The work of repairing the maca- dam road on Baldwin street is now almost completed and it looks like a very good job. Of course the grade of the street is unsatisfactory and will be until the tracks are lowered or the west side of the street raised. The condition could be relieved somewhat by raising the gutter few inches at points where the incline is most mo- ticeable and the street department should see that this is done before they get through there.
 One of the worst spots on Baldwin street for pedestrians Is between Madison and Glen streets, west side. where large numbers of people have to pick their steps over boulders for distance of several hundred feet. All this needs to put it in decent shape is a few loads of sand or ashes, and while the city teams are down there it would be nothing out of the way if they did this. The ground is level and can be improved good enough for all practical pur- poses at a very modest outlay.
 The beetles whose presence created quite stir here a few years ago, have returned to their old haunts and commenced to feed on the foliage of the elms. When they were here before the public became alarmed at their conduct. but at a meeting held to de- wise ways and means to check their progress, the late H. F. Bassett didn't think there was anything in the movements of the pests to worry about. He thought they would dis appear as mysteriously as they came. and that no bad effect would be mo- ticed after they had gone. and sthe result proved that he was right But it might not be a bad plan to give them battle as soon as they are mo- ticed and force them to quit before they leave the trees bare.

After all. the Wstertown man who 1 could nOt control his boy and turned | him over to the authorities. who '. committed him to the county home. should be praised for his act. 1 It is hard to do this. but isn't it much |. better than wait until the situation ] becomes more serious. Boys who per- sist in remaining out nights are bound to get into trouble sooner or later. and it is the duty of their par ents or guardians to keep a close ] watch on their movements. Even in . the daytime one should not be satis- | fed at knowing where they are. One should get a line on the character of the boys with whom they zsso- cfzte and what they spend their time ! at
