New York. April 1.-That the city IN
the last four or five years has paid out
over $40 100000 for laying OF sewers and
grading of streets which should have
been collected from property owners, but
was not, owing 20 the failure Of the
borough presidents to certify the proper
assessments 10 the board Of assessors. Is
stated in a report made % the mayor to-
day by the commissioners of accounts.
That this apparently had been the case
was first brought to the attention OF the
mayor by Corporation Counsel Ellison
several months ago and the mayor re-
quested the commissioners Of accounts 10
make an investigation.
The e0mmisslo ners have found that 49,
contracts had been paid fer by the city.
which, with interest. made a total out

owners OF si0.T71690. There were 300 such
contracts paid for by the city. and not
charged to property owners IN Queens.
and 255 in Brooklyn. some of the con-
tracts running back 10 1902.
The proper procedure in such cases. the
report says. Is for the city 10 employ a
contractor and pay him the amount due
under his contract. which amount. with
incidental expenses. is then certified to by
the borough president. such certificate be

Shocking the germs to death" is the
method Of publication of the milk sup

this may be accomplished by applying
a powerful electric voltage TO the bot
lie in which the milk is contained. No
matter how able bodied the germ, the
shock to his system would result in an
immediate cessation OF interest in ali
earthly affairs
Cooking or scalding the germs" de-
clares F.. NJ s., only cause them to
mix with the milk. People claim that
heating milk spoils the taste" he
writes. This may be true. Let them
apply an electric current to the bottle
la which the milk Is contained and
shock the germs TO death. A current
of sufficient voltage would bring upon
a minute live germ such a degree of
paralysis that its clinging apparatus
would curl up and then it would come
to the surface.
