Football Enthusiasts Take 8 Slap at
 the School Board,

Pueblo, Col, Oct 16.-Central high school resembled a Kindergarten yes terday when the pupils, to show their contempt and ridicule for the orders of the school board that the school shall not have football team, came to. school dressed as little children and bringing toys. Large boys in short trousers, shirtwaists and big bow ties, carried tops and marbles and the girls, with their hair in pig tails, adorned with big ribbons. nurs- ed dollars and Teddy Bears, and play ed with jacks.
 Immediately upon the assembling of school the boys commenced spin ming tops and rolling marbles across the floor.
 Efforts to restore order were un- availing. and the senior and junior classes, among which were the chief offenders, were dismissed. The pu- pills gathered outside the wings of the study hall and kept the school in an uproar by loud yells of defiance. Principal H. M Barrett finally made a talk to the pupils. and they agreed to return to the sehoool and behave.

THE HIGHEST POINT.
Engineer Herring Made Measurements
 Some Years Ago.

Editor of the Democrat.
 To decide a dispute will you please state the highest elevation in Water bury; also what is the storage capac- ity of the East Mountain reservoir?
 According to Rudolph Herring who prepared a report on the water ques- tion for this city in 1892, the highest points within the city and the sum- mits of the hills just outside of the same are as follows:
 In Brooklyn the elevation at South Wilson and Seymour streets is 33S feet city datum, rising to 440 city datum outside the limits. In the northern part of the city the eleva- tion at Hill street near the city Him. its Is about 370 feet, rising to $40 city datum beyond the same; on North Willow street the elevation near the city line Is $50 feet and rises to 440 city datum beyond. In the eastern part of the city the elevation of Wolcott road rises to 275 feet near the limits and further on it is 3S0 feet. The summit of the hill north east of the city is 720 feet city datum. The elevation of the highest point on Washington street in the southern part of the city is BOT feet; the high est ground of the Abrigador is about APO, feet" N
 The same authority has the follow ing on East Mountain:
 ..sThe East Mountain brook storage reservoir hasa capacity of 100, ,000, 900 gallons, and covers an area of about 35 acres. It is 400 feet above center square, or 543 feet above city datum. The dam (of sand, gravel and loam) with heart wall founded on gravel and rock, is 360 feet long and 30 feet high. The depth of the water in this reservoir when full is 21 feet"

PAVING STREETS.
City of Buffalo Has Its Own, Asphalt
 Repair Plant,

Repair Plant.
 Buffalo, N. Y., has gone a step ahead of Waterbury in the matter of doing its own work. For some time past Mayor Adams has been of the opinion that the city would save mon- ey by purchasing asphalt and laying it at It's own expense. His recent trip to Toronto, Canada, gained him some ideas on this plant, and some time ago he conveyed the information to the board of aldermen in mes sage. Commissioner F. c. Ward of the board of public works has now been directed by the committee on f. nance to prepare plans and specifi- cations for the construction and equipment of an asphalt repair plant. Counsel Desbecker has been directed to make charter amendment, pro- viding that the repaving be general fund expense, giving the city the op- tion of issuing bonds for five years for such work.
 This is something that has been talked of in Waterbury, for years, but lit is hard to convince the public that
 
 lit would pay. notwithstanding that 1t lit has been demonstrated that the |city is putting out large sums for permanent street paving when better or to say the least as good service could be had at greatly reduced cost by having the work done by the day. For example, Waterbury buys tar for $2 barrel, while others have to pay twice that for what they use. The same thing is true of all other kinds of material. so that in sticking to the contract system the people are playing losing game, and as con- sequence owners of tenement property storekeepers and others suffer, to say nothing of those who work to out of door labor as means of earn ing a livelihood. The town improve ment clubs and other organized bodies should take up this subject during the winter seasons and invite the merchants of the city to talk 1t over with them. It Is practical ques- tion and the more people pry into 1t the better it looks.
