CROOKED DITCH COMPANY
HELD ANNUAL MEETING

The annual stockholders meeting of
the Crooked Ditch Company was held
at the Mckinley school building on
Lincoln Park Monday night with $4,000
out of total of $4,000 shares repre-
sented. The affairs of the company
were shown bq the reports of its Of
fers to be in excellent condition and
the outlook for an increasing number
of patrons and water consumers most
encouraging.
The new board of directors is COM
posed of D. w. Ross. J. P. Farmer, Gus
Stromberger, S. F. Entorf and G. NJ.
Chase The directorate organized by
re-electing D. w. Ross as president
and J. P Farmer as secretary and
treasurer.
After the regular business of the
meeting was disposed of an informal
discussion took place among those
present in relation to the desirability
of organizing public improvement
association among the residents Of
Lincoln Park, having for its object the
encouragement of a greater civic pride
among the people of that delightful
suburb. The painting of fences and
outbuildings: the growing of grassy
lawns and the cleaning of the streets
of weeds are among the things which
it is desired to accomplish by means
of the proposed organization.
The matter was so favorably consid-
cred by those present that the presi-
dent of the ditch company was in
structed by resolution to appoint a
committee of five members to cooper
ate with similar committees from the
Pump Ditch Company and the De
Weese-Dye Ditch Company in the for
nation of such an association. In con-
formty with the resolution the follow
ing committee was named: ]. P. Far

favored community. 1t Is certainly a
step in the right direction and should
be given every possible encouragement
by those most directly concerned.
Lincoln Park is naturally a very at
tractive place of residence, but 1t can
be rendered far more beautiful than
it is now through the instrumentality
Of an aggressive and we'll supported
village improvement society. 1t is GER
tainly to be hoped that the action taken
Monday night will eventuate In some
thing tangible.

nized by the medical science today.

us exactly how it was done. Then
ii would look oh, so simple
The mind reading and question
answering done by Svengali's assist
ant last night were of much the same
type as similar performances seen here
before. His apparent hypnotising of
subjects from Annapolis and making
them do all sorts OF foolish and laugh
able things, made a hit with the au-
dienee last night. However, as said
before there were many doubling
Thomases in the audience. These
are not prepared TO tell how it was
done, so we must perforce take the
gentleman at his word and believe
that he really forced these folks TO
he blacksmiths, hoTseowners and jack
asses.
His placing OF his own subject in n
cataliptic state made decided hit,
particularly when the apparently rigid
body of the man was placed across
the backs of two chairs and made an
unsupported seat for three heavy men.
The same young man, after being
awakened, was put 10 sleep for twen-
ty-four hours and taken TO the win

awakening will take place on the stage

Mayor John dep. Douw brought be-
fore the City Council last night the
subject of the unreliable time of the
city town clock, and the feasibility
of eleclTifying the clock under the
new system OF time keeping.
The Mayor stated that he had made
some inquiry into the cost Of the
same. and thought il would be adj
visable for the city to adopt the new
system. inasmueh as the town clock
was the punlic's timepiece, aud de-
pended upon by the travelling public

Of tbs Irregular time Of the clock.
Mayor DoRw stated that the original
cost 10 change the dials and put in
the works would be about $3.50 and
the keeping Of the clock by the stand

was appointed a committee Of one to
ascertain the actual cost and report 10
the Council at its next regular ms ct
ing. The move is n good one and
should be put into execution at once.

THE CITY WHARF PROPERTY.

CITY'S TENANTS.
The Rent Adjusted. Limits Fixed And
a General Improvement of
Tue Situation.

1t is likely that business like sets
Element Of relations of the city of An
napolis and the tenants of its property
on the northeast side of the City Dock
will be reached shortly. The matter
has been under discussion for many
years and during the existence of a
number of different City Councils.
All of the tenants hold under leases
which have long since expired, but
the city officials have accepted rent
al different times since and thereby
acquiesced in renewals. The leases
have not been put on record and were
mlslaid for a period and the deter
mination of the exact terms of the
leases has been task OF great diff
Guilty.
The city officials have now, how
eer, reached an agreement with the
tenants and fair rental fixed FOR the
property. Some changes will be
made in the location of the present
lots, but it is believed that all of the
old tenants will remain. The property
will be much improved in appearance,
a considerable larger revenue obtained
for the city. new leases Will be pre-
pared and arrangements made in such
a way that there is not likely TO be
any confusion in the future similar TO
what has been going on.
The matter was thoroughly discuss
ed at a meeting of the City Council
last night. 1t was referred 10 COM
mittee of the whole, which visited
the property this morning and the
Council will meet in special session
at O'Clock this afternoon for the
purpose of settling the whole matter.
It is believed that the Council is
unanimous upon most of the points
involved.
The members of the Council wish
to provide for street or roadway
runningg back of the property occu-
pied by the present tenants and be-
tween them and the present dock.
This, it is believed. will improve the
general appearance of the property and
make it of more financial value to the
city by giving a free ingress and exit
to tbs teams carrying material which
has unloaded and upon which wharf
aga has been paid. There is some dis
agreement among tho members of the
Council as to the width of the new
way, some holding that twenty-four
feet is sufficient and others that thirty
feet is the proper size.
The oysterhouse of Mr.. Martin Col
Inns will have to he moved, but q
place not far distant has been provid-
ed. 1t is also suggested that the city
toolhouss be torn down and rebuilt
on the lot back of the Assembly
Rooms. The whole property will be
cleaned ard improved and the present
Council desires to have the whole
matter in good shape when its term
of existence. expires.
