PAVING TORN UP
AS SOON AS LAID
SIXTH STREET WORK SPOILED
TO TAP SEWER.
Builders Disregard Warning to Make
Connections Before PAYERS Begin
Work-Streets Badly Torn Up by
Corporations Which Hustle to Get
Pipes and Wires Underground.

After completing a neat Job OF. paw
ing between it's tracks at Hennepin
avenue and Sixth street, the street rail
way company can now stand by and
see the work ripped up in order to
make sewer connection for the new Ly-
ceum building. The street railway Of.
ticlals are thoroly disgusted over the
prevailing methods of street work.
Minneapolis. never was so badly torn
up as it is at present, and the compli-
cations are numerous and aggravating
to all concerned. With the telephone
and electric companies laying conduits
IN compliance with the orders of the
council. and underground connections
being made in compliance with the new
electric ordinance, the street railway
track, the gas and electric COMPANIES on les
installing, the new curb lights, the
waterworks departmentment setting
new tre hydrants, property owners
making sewer and water connections.
and the asphalt company pushing it's
work with all possible speed, the con-
dltlons IN the downtown sections are
worse than they ever were before.
Policy Well eDfned.
Public sentiment is STRONGLY opposed
TO tearing up new pavements. and there
is Well-settled conviction that all i'm.
provements, particularly water and sew
er connections and electric wire con-
Quits, should be installed before the
paving work is done, and that further
opening of streets should be prohibited
engineer is Of the same opinion and
has frequently refused permission for
opening the street. He even went 50
far as to refuse to permit telephone
company to lay conduit on Nicollet
avenue because it would delay the paw
ing work.
FL In l the la present instance, the permit
for sewer connection was granted by
an employee Of the sewer department.
who probably was not aware that the
street railway company had Just COM
pleted a job OF granite pavement at that
point.
Authorities Are Puzzled.
It is great problem with the civic
authorities to determine how MANY
sewer connections should be ordered.
City Engineer Rinker cites the case of
t Inc Syndicate block: Before it was
nections for that block. Afterward, one
building was constructed and the own
ers provided a special largo sewer and
the expense for the fifteen connections
was wasted.
Again, a large tract Of land may be
held by one person who informs the
authorities that when be improves the
property, he will erect one buildinp to
cover the entire tract and will heed
only one sewer connection. Later, the
property may be sold, lot by lot. to
different persons, and when buildings
are erected, each will require a separate
CO. connection. Such contingencies arc
difficult to solve the problem in adj
vance.

NO MARKED CHANGES
IN LAND ASSESSMENT

City real estate assessments now be.
ing made under the direction of CITY
Assessor Miner are not to be greatly
changed. Reviewing the situation be-
fore a group of interested real estate
men and city officials at the CONNER
cial club, Mr.. Miner has announced
that no " horizontal' increase is con-
templated and the assessments will be
on much the same basis as heretofore.
Where property values have actually in
creased, a proportional increase in the
assessment will follow. Inequalities
that have been pointed out will be con-
sidered and equitably adjusted.

It must be admitted that some Of
the best work that has lived has been
done by indolent men. This 10 espe-
cially true as regards literature. The
finest description of a sunrise was
written by the poet Thomson In bed,
Ooieridge was one Of the most indolent
of men, yet his work is, Of its kind,
unapproached. One Of the most Inn
portant improvements in the steam en-
gine was due to the Incidence Of James
Watt. Many other examples might be
quotedI but, as general rule, It Is
fairly correct to say that work which
is tho outcome OF meditation or pro
longed observation is best performed
by people whose natural Incidence
makes them careless of the strife and
hustle in which an active temperament
would tend to immerss them,-Pear'

Queer Rewards and Reminders That
Come to the Riders.

COme to the Riders.
One Of the greatest of living jockeys
has most remarkable collection Of
tributes from admirers, unknown and
otherwise. 1t contains, among other
strange things, pawn tickets, writs and
summonses contributed by unsuccess-
ftl hackers Of his mounts, tallsmans
Of all kinds to bring him luck In his
races, sermons and tracts for bis spir-
itual welfare, recipes for all kinds OF
ailments, from coughs to a tendency
to corpulonce, forms for insuring
against accidents, offers Of marriage,
accompanied by bundles Of photo
graphs of would be wives, welshers'
tickets and a pair Of wornout boots
with the legend: "All that is left Of
them after walking from York to Lon
don. Backed all your mounts"
A few years ago, after his horse had
lost an important race, a well known
turfman went up to the jockey and
made him formal and public pres
entatlon Of a silver snuffbox, saying
that If he would look inside he would
see the kind Of horse he ought to ride
In future. The jockey opened the box
and found in 1t half dozen fat snails.
1t was the same satlrlcal owner who
on another occasion presented his jock
ey with a sumptuous casket, which on
being opened disclosed wooden spoon,
and to a third jockey who had failed
to win an important race he handed
a pair Of crutches bought from beg
gar on the course.
When John Singleton, clever jock
ey OF nearly two centuries ago, hrst
won race In Yorkshire the farmer
whose horse he had ridden to victory
was so delighted with his achievement
that he made him present Of a eve,
whose offspring soon mustered round
dozen, and really started the ex-shep-
herd lad on his career as jockey.
Singleton was very proud Of and CRATE
full for bis singular fee.
In this respect he furnished a great
contrast to well known jockey who
when u check for $1,000 was handed to
him by the owner of horse on which
he had won a race crumpled 1t up con
temptuously, with the remark that he
had "often received more for riding a
twoyear-old."-Chicago News.
