 The bureau of assessment will
 hold hearing tonight on the mat
 ter of benefits and damages arising
 from the layout of South Main street
 from City Corners to the town
 boundary. Every owner of property
 between these points is more or less
 interested. but the trolley company
 and the Platt family are more alert
 than others. In this they deserve
 to be commended. Many don t
 know how street layout affects
 them until the workmen come
 along to make the cut and fill, prob
 ably years after the aldermen have
 set the seal of approval on work.
 John Corcorkry of Brooklyn is un-
 der the impression that Ralph N.
 BlakeSlee, his conservator, is not the
 right man in the right place and called at MT Blakeslee's office this morning to voice his sentiments. As
 ha had marta. l.an froa1v of rb.t NY nh causes the words to tumble together
 his company was anything but wei come to him who is one of the prime movers in the prohibition movement. Corcorkry became so noisy that Pa trolmen Joe Mccarthy and Callahan were called in. Corcorkry saw no reason why he should not attack the enemy and before he was landed in the patrol wagon he landed a hook on McCarthy's physiognomy. He is charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace.

 Property owners on lower Baldwin street who expected to have the city put back their fences will be some what disappointed to learn that the report of the bureau of assessment, at the time the layout was approved, states that property own ers shall reconstruct their fences at their own expense. This disposes of ihe question. for even though the present board might think favorably or such a proposition they have no authority to do the work. l The statement has been made that | 'ne property owner got his fence put pack by the city last year. but tho l present. board has no knowledge oi | his. The award made at the time uf 1 he layout as approved covered the ! .ost of resetting fences and while tho . 'eople may not have noticed it at he time, 1t is just as we'll to apprise hem of the situation now as later.
