OFFERS WATER BOARD 20
ACRES OF LAND AT RUNYON FOR $4,000
Commissioners
See Property
On Visit.
MEET TONIGHT

The Board Of Water Commissioner
is considering the purchase Of twenty
acres Of land at Runyou, owned BIZ
John Davidson, who is willing to sen
il to the city for $4,000 The board,
with the exception Of President T. J,
Clark, went to Runyon yesterday and
talked the matter over with the owner,
but, as far as can be learned, no agree
ment was made.
Mr.. Davidson wrote to one of the
commissioners recently, it is understoods
and said be would like o sell bis land
for $4,000, which is $3.50 an acre.
The commissioner told the rest of the
board about the offer, and it was deem.
ed advisable TO see Mr. Davidson about
It,
The Davidson land adioins the thirty
acre Fountain tract and occupies prac-
tically the same position in the center
of the city's holdings. The board has
long wanted the Davidson land. as 1t 10
declared to be just as necessary as the
Fountain tract, for which the commits
sioners were willing to pay sl5,500 two
years ago. -

J. Mason and Superintendent A. II.
Crowell went along also.
Mr.. Davidson, 1t is understood, said
he was willing to sell for 80 900 and at
tonight IS meeting, the board may take
up the matter for discussion, slthough.
at committee session last night, 1t was
talked over with President Clark. who
f,Na1la N he -
the trip yesterday.
1t was reported last night that the
Rsritan Water Company recently se-
cured from Mr.. Davidson the water
rights to his property such as driving
wells there and piping it, Whether this
is true is not known, as nothing regard
ing the matter was said by Mr. David
son to the board yesterday. None OF
the commissioners, however, knew OK
the report until last night and did not
ask the owner if it was true.
If Mr.. Davidson, who is an elderly
man, has given such rights the property
would be useless TO the board and efforts
will be made by the real estate commit
tee to look up the ruanor- II such
rights have been grated It IS hBr
Heved by some OF the commissioners
that Mr.. Davidson did net feaIize
what he was doing. and still thinks
his property free and clear in offer
ing it for sale.
For New Dynamo.
The other matter that the board went
TO the city pumping station for yester-
day, Was to look into the advisibiIity
of purchasing a larger dynamo. Engin-
eer Joseph Cottrell thinks there should
be larger one, as the present dynamo
is not sufficient to light all the houses.
The board practically decided that it
was needed and may order its purchase
tonight.

WOULD ACT IN
PAVING MATTER
Some Smith Street Property
Owners Suggest Claim
Upon Jones & Meehan.
WANT ASPHALT BLOCK

Some of the property-owners on
Smith street, between State and
High, streets, who signed the petit
tion which was presented to the
council Monday night, asking that
that portion Of the street be paved
at the city's expense with asphalt
block, think that action should be
taken against Jones & Meehan, OF
Boston, who laid the asphalt.
Clancy d. Boynton. of the firm of
Boynton Brothers, said this morn
ing that, although he had signed the
petition for asphalt block, he
thought it a shame that the city
should have to spend money for
new pavement ON the street. Mr..
Boynton said that the contractors
should be compelled to make good
for the condition of the street, as II
it had been good material and
properly laid 1t would not be in the
condition 1t Is at the present time.
Mr.. Boynton says that IL the street
is to be repaved he would like 1t
with asphalt block as that is not
noisy and is easily repaired. This
seems to be the general sentiment
of the property-owners in the block.
w IlCH SSCA ny a NEW - ACPOASS
day a number of the property-own-
ers said they had signed for asphalt
block because lower Smith street
was to be paved with it and because
1t had proved satisfactory on State
street thus far.
Edward NJ. Kelly, of Kelly & Nc
Alinden, who circulated the petit
tion, said that he would be satisfied
with any good pavement, but pre-
ferred asphalt block. c. A. Sexton
wants asphalt block, as does Henry
Mccullough. Frank Palmer says
that although he signed for asphalt
block, he would be satisfied with any
good pavement.
About twenty property-owners
signed for asphalt block and If the
council decides to repave the street
they will urge that material. The
reason why the petitioners have
asked the. city to pay for repaving
the street is that they have paid

AssaiIs Report Submitted

GOVERNOR FORT U0ES
NOT AGREE WITH ALL
Issues a Statement in Which
He Gives His Opinion of
the Latest Plan.

Trenton, March 3:-The joint
senate and house finance committee
report, while signed by the three
democratic members, was gTilled by
most of the dem ocratic minority of
the legislature in q hot caucus dur
ing the day. For the caucus. Assem-
blyman Mark A Sullivan, of Hud-
son, house democratic leader, made
this statement:
The report submitted by the
financial investigating committee
does not represent the sentiment by
bers of the legislature
The report deprecates the diver
sion of school funds and then recon-
mends the diversion of 1000 of
the money needed for school pur-
poses, and affords only temporary
relief.
1T does not touch useless Offices,
excessive salaries, extTavagances in
the administration of state affairs
and many other needed reforms.

mitted by US later
Governor Fort wasn't pleased with
the long looked-for report, either.
He issued carefully prepared state
ment late in the day. declaring fatty
that the solution of the financial
problem in the last analysis would
be the repeal Of the 1905 act for dis
tribution of first-class railroad taxes
to school districts. This is what the
governor said:
AZ have read the report of the

conferred with me this morning
about their report, and asked my
I suggestions In regard thereto.
There are some things in the re
port with which / do not agree

are feasible, and those which are
should be enacted into law.
Il question the wisdom of chang
ing the date of the ending Of the
fiscal year Of the state, or of increas-
ing the miscellaneous corporation

to the suggestion that . the state
militia shall be decreased in the
manner suggested In the report. All

greatest advances. This also helped

show any great gains, but there was
a slight Improvement in the leaders,
and a more active market for the

other slight gain. The way this

OF late, is a very good indication for
still better prices. The Cumberland

locally there is very little short SELL
ing in these stocks. Prices may work

TONE DF MARKET
; IMPROVED
SEVERITY OF DECLINE HAS BEEN
REACHED AND BETTER THINGS
ARE in SIGHT FOR THE
FUTURE.

All classes of stocks today we're
much stronger, with the majority of
them showing fair gains over yester-
days. While the. gains today have
been slight and confined mostly to
the higher priced issues, professional
traders claim that the tone of the
market is much improved and the
general feeling seems to be that the
severity of the decline has been
checked for the time being. The
monthly reports for the past month,
issued by the leading railroads and
industrials show better conditions
than were anticipated and this was
mainly because of today's activity in
the stock market. Probably the most
important development of the week
has been the distinct improvement
in the trunk line, which shows an
increase over last June's. Although
there is not much improvement in
metal prices, it is believed it will be
much easier to get sales. 1t is I'M
deniable however, that production in
the red metal exceeds consumption
and that copper tends to accumulate
but the time remaining until the on
sumption shall reach normal proper
lions is steadily growing shorter, and
another large accumulation of the
metal is not likely.
Money continues easy, although
this is not expected to continue as
the time is fast approaching when a
great deal of the idle money will be
sent to the west and middle west to
move the crops, and naturally this
will increase the money rates. Local
stocks showed greater activity today
than they have for some days past.
Local stocks are good buys and pur-
chases made around these prices have
great speculative possibilities, than
is possessed by the majority of the
stocks. Nevada Con. Cumberland
Ely and Giroux showed slight gains.

REpENTs HAsTY WEDDING.
Wealthy Widow Who Married Sales
man Seeks Divorce.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June 26.-
Mrs. Mary A. King-York has filed
a petition for the annulment of her
marriage to Fred e. York, of New
York. Mrs. King is a descendant of
one of New England's Oldest families
and has property estimated at from
$3.50 to $4,000. Her first hus-
band, Frank H. King, died in Septem-
Der. 1907. She met York last De-
cember, when he called at the home
to sell her a headstone for her hus-
bands grave, and they were married
in Hartford siv weeks later.
Mrs. King is GA years aid and YORK
is AZ or 43. When her relatives
showed their disapproval of the
wedding York retaliated in many
ways, finally %cancelling the order for
the headstone for the first huband's
grave. Early in April the dashing
young husband disappeared and has
not been seen since.
