"The River Pirates.o

There are any number of thrilling Incl
dents in A. H. Woods latest production,
THE River Pirates which is to be seen
at the Academy the week beginning Mon
day, September 20. Unlike many melo-
dramas. each situation has some particu-
lar bearing on the ultimate development
Of the plot, which is out Of the ordinary
and at all times interesting.
To depict life on the water, especially
among pirates, is by no means an easy
task. Playwrights during the past quar-
ter of century would seem to have ex-
hausted every bit of available material
suitable for stage purposes.
Walter Lawrence. the author, however,
appears to have deviated considerably
from the beaten path and written some
radically new incidents. The River Pi-
rates. has four acts and nine stirring
scenes. There is not dull period
throughout. and the cast and scenic in
vestiture are claimed to be all that could
be desired. The usual matinees will be
given on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day.

NEED OF new BUILDINGS
HEALTH OFFICER WANTS
STABLE AND POUND.
Renewal Of Recommendation for
Appropriation to Be Made In
Annual Estimates.

The erection Of a new pound and stable
for the health department is desired by
Health Officer Woodward. and he will In
clude estimates covering the cost of such
work in the annual budget Of the de-
partment under his charge.
AS a preliminary to the preparation of
estimates for such work the health officer
explained to the Commissioners that he
expected to renew his recommendation
Of former years for a new site and for
the erection and equipment Of pound and
stable buildings. and asked them to re-
quest Municipal Architect Ashford to pre-
pare estimates for such structure.
Il now have some rough sketches for
warded by the health department and
after an interview with the poundmaster
I would recommend that the estimate be
made 500. 5OO," Municipal Architect Ash
ford has replied This is the approximate
cost Of the water department stable. which
nearly complies in accommodation and
extent with the sketches and description
of the pound and stable. There are fewer
stalls for horses in the proposed stable,
but pens for cows and dogs are substi-
tuted. and the wagon storage is nearly
the same
The sketch indicates a rectangular tn
which will require paving. drainage, ETC..
twenty-one stalls, fourteen dog pens,
harness rooms storerooms. stablemen's
and watchman's quarters, fuel storage
gas box and charcoal storage: carriage
house. 18xsO feet, with loft: office fenc-
ing. etc. I am informed pens might be
placed in the center of the rectangle in
stead of at one side. This would not ap-
probably affect the estimate. as open
sheds or fencing would take their place
on one side of the hollow square. In
order to make this place sanitary, with
impervious flooring and vermin proof
partitions for dogs. the estimate based
on the cost of the water department
stable and yard would not be more than
sufficient. The sketches also contem-
plate considerable plumbing, but with
out data on location Of sewers, water
mains and electric conduits. I would es-
innate the plumbing and electrical work
at $780,
II would therefore recommend that the
estimate be placed at not less than S23,-
500 for pound and stable, and $4,000 for
pound only"
