So Postmaster Young has found
what he believes to be a remedy.
He has worked out system of
credits to Offset each item in the
system of dement's. He has laid
this, with the proposal that it be
adopted, before the postmaster
general. Young doesn't say that
the system of dement's is bad. He
does say that the postal employe
should be given a chance. The
credit system is designed to give
him that chance.
At present, postal employees in
all departments are rated in two
classes, those who have not served
three years and those who have
served three years or over. First
class employees receive $1,000,
81, 100 and $1,000, second class
5000, $500 and 5000 according to
the years of service.

To the honorable Mayor and Council

Gentlemen-I the undersigned, as

running through the ceilings and out

ton, and that we have buildings that
have elevator openings which are
dangerous in case of fire and also to

FIRE DEPARTMENT DOINGS.

An interesting meeting of Jefferson
No. was held Monday evening, with
Leon Hebert in the chair and W. H.
Kentzel acting secretary. The ques-
ton of purchasing a gasoline engine
was discussed and committee ap-
pointed to raise funds by subscription.
It is the purpose of the association, in
case the gasoline engine is purchased
to dispose of pump No. 2 land appurte-
nances for $500 and apply this amount
to the payment of the engine.
Fifty feet of extra hose was order
Ell to be purchased for Pump No. 2.
A committee was appointed to OBJ
tain the passage of an ordinance by
the Council making it misdemeanor
to drive any vehicle over the hose
of any company during the progress
Of fire.
A committee from the Vaudeville
Fire Department were in Covington
this week examining Plumb No. 2
with a view of purchasing. This
would be an excellent machine for
that town, as the tank arrangement
does away with the necessity for i'm
mediate water connection and water
can be passed from quite distance
with the assistance of a bucket bri-
gade.

each with an Average of ia.
The two sand tables donated to the
school by the School Improvement
League have been completed and will
be used for instruction of pupils in the
third and fourth grades. They are Sc
constructed as to form compartments
for sand clay and water and are six
feet square. The demonstration work
that can be done on these tables is
particularly impressive and becomes
fixed in the mind of the pupil as no
merely explanatory instruction can.
Miss Arbuthnot. who has taken a
course in the manual training school
of the University of Chicago, is espe-
cially capable of instructing classes in
this work, and in the manufacture of
articles from paper and other material
that has been provided the pupils by
the League. At the bazaar to be
given on the 18th of December this
table will be on exhibition as will
other work of the pupils. Prof. Lyons
has constructed miniature house
that will be furnished from parlor to
attic from manufactures of the pupils.
