STREET GRADES CAUSING
CONSIDERABLE ANNOYAN(

The new order to replace a number
Of old walks about the city with new
ones has raised a point which is giving
the city council and city engineer con
siderable concern on account of pro.
tests being lodged by property owners
When the grade level was established
by the city council many years ago,
an arbitrary line was drawn from the
city limits at Eleventh street to the
railroad track, which gives an aver
age fall Of two feet to the block, north
and south grades being taken from this
grade. No accounting was taken for
the rolling nature of the land and the
result is that many places which have
heretofore been as high or higher than
the adjoining streets are now thrown
far below the sidewalk line as are also
the streets in front. A noticeable in
stance is that Of Mrs. Langheldt's new
walk. Although her property was FILL
ed in to a very large extent at the
time Of building, her lawn is now be-
low the sidewalk line, while if the
same grade is continued to the ad-
joining property, Mrs. Wagner, the
owner, will find her walk about half
way up her picket fence and will need
a stairway to get into her premises,
the same condition being true on the
opposite side of the street. This is
but one of numerous instances about
town, and many contend that with the
splendid natural conditions We have
that the topography Of the block
should be taken into consideration and
property owners not compelled to
build up or dig out about their prem
ises in order to make the town as lev
ell as a checker board, when there is
really nothing to be gained over exist
ing conditions. All, of course, admit
that there should be uniformity but
that hardship should not be worked
on property owners where nothing is
to be gained.

BETTER TONE PREVAILS.
Some Improvement Shown on the
Stock Exchange.

New York, Aug. 24.-The most Sc
rious conditions of the previous week
in the stock market have given way
to better tone and marked diminu-
ton of operations. Sentiment appears
to have been favorably affected by the
absence of further liquidation, but the
public utterances of President Roose-
welt and Secretary Taft were at first
somewhat disturbing. From outward
appearances, however, the market is
gradually drifting away from consid-
erations of political character. More
attention is being given to monetary
conditions. There is a threatened
stringency, not only at home, but in
most of the worlds money markets.
The tightness of money precipitated
another commercial failure during the
week and more are predicted for the
same reason. Time loans are being
made on bases we'll in excess of nor
NAL rates, and the banks are safe
guarding their reserves in anticipation
of crop demands.
