The principal object of the meeting was
to act on the petition for the closing OF
the new section of the Shore road, for the
reasons stated in The AMERICAN last
week. There was goodly showing OF
property Owners and residents OF the dis
trict affected, who came to protest against
the indefinite closing OF the road, but
who were laboring under misunder-
standing as to the object and purposes OF
the board.
Edward Hamilton, E. N. Slower and A.
II. Lullam were among those who
addressed the board. The matter was
explained to them, and the board then
took up the petition for disseminating the
road, which was granted.
A petition for the laying out of awinter
road over.practically the same route, to be
used only when there is snow on the
ground, was then presented, and the city
clerk was instructed to post the required

Additional statistics on the in
creased cost of living were made pub
lie last week by the Department of
Commerce. The investigation shows
that wholesale prices reached higher
level in 1906 than in any other year
during the 17-year period covered. The
average was 36.5 per cent higher than
that for 1897, the year of lowest prices,
and 22.4 higher than the average for
the ten years from 1890 to 1900. OF
25S representative articles, 178 showed
an increase in price in 1906 over the
figures for the previous year. The av-
erage was Sc per cent higher, and
prices reached their highest point in
December. The increased cost of most
articles in common use during the
year was general, in some instances
extraordinary. Thus, the price of

CHLOE DIVINE.

Chloe's a nymph in fowery groves,
A nereid in the streams;
Saintlike she in the temple moves,
A woman in my dreams.
Love steals artillery from her eyes,
The graces point her charms;
Orpheus is riva'd in her voice,
And Venus in her arms.
Never SO happily in one
Did heaven and earth combine;
And yet It's flesh and blood alone
That makes her so divine.
