WILL TRY TO FORCE
D. j. R. TO REPAIR
3. PAYEMENTS
COUNCIL ORDERS TOWN LAWYER
TO BEGIN PROCEEDINGS IN
coURT-MORE MONEY FOR
POOR COMMISSION.

Extreme measures 10 compel the
placing OF pavements between street
railway tracks in proper repair are
called for in the resolution presented
in the council meeting by Aid. Ellis
OF the Fifteenth ward, Tuesday eve
ming. TO have the corporation counsel
go into court to compel the d. U. r.
to repair the pavements for which 1t
is responsible. The resolution was
adopted by unanimous vote.
81 would have the city mandamus
the company and then. II the court
adjudged the repairs necessary, the
company would either have to fix the
tracks or be fined" said Aid. Ellis.
Something must be done as the
streets are getting into terrible con-
dition."
The city has been trying for years
TO compel the ID. u. r. TO keep up
Its pavements and number OF blum
resolutions have been passed from
time TO time, ordering the department
Of public works to do the work and
charge IL 10 the street railway com
pany. This was impossible. as both
the aldermen and the company knew.
because the ID. p. w. has no money
for the repairs and could not collect
back from the d. U. r. without a
year or two OF litigation. even II 1t did
do the work.
Although the ID. Y. r. spent more
than half million on tracks In 1907.
they are still In bad shape In many
rarts OF the city. Commissioner Haar-
or last winter ordered work begun on
various streets. the cost being estimat-
ed at 100000. The company replied
by demanding that the city repair the
three-cent line tracks which would
cost between $500. 900 and $500 900. but
the board OF estimates refused to al
low money for even few streets IL
which the foundations are bad.
There was much discussion over
Ellis resolution, Aid. Heineman cali
ing attention to the negligence OF the
city in regard TO the tracks for which
IL is responsible. Aid. Mcclellan, who
has introduced a number OF harmless
resolutions ordering the ID. U. X. 10
do various things. made speech de-
nouncing the company.
Aid. Watson introduced an amend
ment to the girder groove rail ordi-
nance, allowing the ID. L. II. 10 lay
fat rail on a portion OF Grand River
avenue
The distress OF the winter among
the poor was again shown by the pas
sage of resolution appropriating
SlO.4Sl for the poor commission. this
being the second time the commission
has asked for funds In addition to It's
appropriation. The sum OF $3,S25 was
also given to the park department to
piece out appropriations.
A new ordinance in regard TO cleo
trio and other signs was introduced.
BY this the size Of signs is limited
and the granting OF permits for their
erection transferred to the department
OF public works.
Resolutions were adopted eulogizing
the late Robert K. Frazer and Former
Mayor Alexander Lewis.

LOCAL BANKERS OPPOSE
NEW CURRENCY BILL

. Detroit bankers are far from pleased
with the action OF the house OF repre-
sentatives in arranging 10 pass a cur
rency bill providing for the issuance
OF s50O.O00.O0O of currency by the
clearing houses in time of financial
stringency. While the measure now
pending is not as obnoxious as the
Aldrich bill. which provided for issu.
ing currency against bonds, and would
have favored the New York banks, II
is not desired at this time, when the
financial. stringency has passed.

sion appointed to consist OF members
OF both houses of congress which
should consult with the committee OF
the American Bankers association and
draw up permanent bill that would
fit the needs OF the country for years
10 come. Such bill would not go TO
congress before the next session.
This Is merely a temporary meas
ure and we were opposed to II because
OF the tendency II might have 10 re-
tard a final settlement of the currency
problem" says Mr.. Clark. This bill
cannot be taken as a permanent and
satisfactory solution"
Western financiers, including the
Detroit bankers, will continue to strive
for a commission 10 study the question
and draw up a better bill for the next
congress.

The disclosures made by Commits

the bitter fight made in the spring be-
fore the streets committee over the
awarding of this years contract for

Wood Preserving Co.'S bid was the
lowest but the selling agents for the
Republic blocks succeeded IN holding
up the contract for two weeks and
II appeared at one time that they
would get a readvertising the promise
having been made that lower prices

bidder was not using creosote oil up

The whole family like Grape-Nuts;
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome TO use this testimonial
as you see fit."
The reason this lady was helped
by the use OF Grape-Nuts food. is that
Il Is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using: II also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. II
that part of the human body Is in per.
feet working order. there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
pents the steam that drives the en-.
CINE.
When the nervous system is run
down. the machinery OF the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as we'll as
adults. II Is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

er of the 3O-acre tract of T. and 2
year-old peach orchard in Vineland
owned by John ID. SecOr and Clar-
ence Morgan.
Eighteen months ago the latter
gentlemen paid $3.50 for the above
tract.
Thus it will be seen that they made
$1S,5OO for their efforts during n

Within another eighteen months
the same piece of land will be worth
