 A number of aldermen, including Col lins and Smith, objected to changing from the fee system in paying the seal CT Of weights and measures, to the sal ary system. Alderman Smith said that he thought that the sealer of weights and measures was doing his duty con scientiously, but that successor might not be so conscientious, and he thought that the change would be putting pre- mium on neglect of duty if the sealer could sit in his office at city hall and be sure of drawing his salary. The measure was passed recommending that the sealer be given salary Of $1,500 per annum.
 Alderman Johnson, chairman of the committee in favor of issuing bonds as follows:
 For Humphrey street extension, $75,- 900; for Grand avenue widening $35OOO; for Crown street extension, $62,OOO; for lake and drive at foot of East Rock, $70,OOO; for playgrounds, $SO,OOO; total, $272, 1000.
 The report was tabled for action at the next meeting,

Y, N. H. & H. R. R. at excessive speed over the street cross ings from Shelton avenue to Webster street.

II was this same unfortunate relation

Yellow fever is stamped out, and
much credit has been given the health
department for this accomplishment.
4 reward of $50 has been offered to
any person. not connected with the
sanitary department, who will report
a case of yellow fever to the health

a reward might induce some of the

when the health department can re

comes pretty close to having the cor

is different.
The city is experiencing somewhat
of boom, and because of the ruling
of the sanitary officers that each build

the proposed level of the city, the
buildings seem to be on stills. In some
sections the level is to be raised three

the sick with their soft lullaby, or sing
their requiem for the dead. 1t is the
