WILL COST CITY $4,000.
Engineers Mistake in Overlooking
Water Mains Computed Anew.

The mistake of the city engineer in
forgetting the water mains when he
made the plans for the pavement on
First and Second avenues will cost the
city S10,3S0. This conclusion was ar
rived at by the council committee on
water works last evening after a tour
of inspection had been taken in the
morning.
A. J. Davis. president of the council,
objected stTenuousiy to doing anything
with the problem saying:
The city cannot afford it. We have
not got the money and we can't go into
debt any more.
But we must have new mains,' de-
clared Councilman Tuddenham, "Or
everything will freeze up during the
winter and the people on these streets
will have no water"
Davis walked away Disguised and the
committee failed 70 come to any final
decision.
The proposal is TO lay new 6-inch pipe
instead Of the 3-inCh pipe on First ave-
nue. from F to streets, and on Sec
ond avenue from Canyon road to .
street, and from ] to o streets. That
it is claimed will at least tide over
the winter season and will cost $4,000
less than laying new mains along both
streets for the entire length.

in the postofIice department. it appears
that several years ago William Rookie
Teller, who owns large estate COM
prising more than $4,000 acres in the
vicinity Of Tarrytown, conceived the
idea of acquiring the site of the town
of Brandon to fill out his estate.
Brandon was a fiOurishing place with
a pOstoffice and two or three small
stores and a small number of iphab-
itants. Mr.. Rockefeller purchased all
of the property from its owners except
enc small tract that was owned by a
civil war veteran named LamOra. La

the latter with 800 to invest in the al

CANNING TINE IS HERE
Housewives Look to Market Row for
Their Annual Supplies
of Fruit.

The berry supply on market row is I'M
usually attractive. Strawberries can be
had for three boxes for a quarter, while
the other kinds of berries, black and red
raspberries are selling at two boxes for
twenty-five cents. Peaches have gone
down to twenty cents for two pounds
while tomatoes are now thiTty-five cents

high standard and those who purchase
for canning purposes now will obtain
much better results than by waiting for
the later supplies which. though less in
price, will probably be of a slightly in

Watermelons are a little less of a lux
