CONTRACT NOT TRANSFERRED.
Rochester Street Railway Company
Must Paw for Paving.

The case of the Rochester Street Railway
Company against the city of Rochester.
involving the right of the city to compel
the street car company to pay the expense
of paving its tracks, was decided by the
Supreme Court of the United States today
in favor of the city. The company fought
the paving requirement on the ground that
1t was violation of the contract in the
charter of it's predecessor.
The opinion was by Justice Moody, who
held that although the original company,
the Brighton road, had had an irrepealable
contract relieving ii from the burden Of
paving, that contract had not been ac-
quired by the Rochester Street Railway
Company.

OUR FAIR.

The directors of our fair have paid
all the premiums in full, after doing
which there is good, substantial
balance in the treasury. This was
the 2lst anniversary OF our annual
agricultural fair. During lis exist
ence Others have failed. 1t was the
sentiment Of the directors that some
new and attractive features hall be
added to the next fair. While at
times exhibits and racing have not
met the expectation of the people,
yet, all things considered, the fair
during its existence OF twenty-one
years has done well IL is a fixture
with US. Yearly our people meet on
its grounds in reunion; families gath
er there, as a central point, that do
not meet elsewhere. There has been
some complaint that our merchants
and business men do not give it
their full support. However that
may be, our annual fair brings
money to the city, customers to
the stores and patrons to our hotels.
1t is a part of the life of Fredericks-
burg, and every loyal citizen of the
town should lend every effort to
make it a great success in the future.
1t is with us to stay.
