HUBBELLITES MEET AND
DISCUSS NEW ICE RINK

Plans are being made for the cree
ton of a new inclosed skating rink in
Hubbell before another season. An
enthusiastic meeting Of Hubbell resi-
dents, many of them business men,

FIRST TELEPHONE POLE
TAKEN DOWN This MORNING
Mayor and City Officials Present
to Witness Fall Of First
of Poles.
CEREMONY AT TEN O'CLOCK

Hancock had a unique Washington's
birthday observance today which,
while It took place day previous, was
nevertheless decidedly appropriate.
The occasion was the cutting down of
the first of the poles of the Michigan
Telephone company on Quincy street,
which ceremony was made one OF con-
siderable note by the presence OF Mayor
James. members of the council, board
of public works, telephone officials and
newspaper men. Construction Fore
man Gibson was the George Washing
ton OF the occasion, being In charge of
the gang of men engaged upon the
work, and both a Ratchet and a saw
figured in the demolition of the pole
that served as substitute for the i'm
mortal cherry trees.
Notice was sent to the mayor early
this morning that the pole at the cor
ner of Mesnard and Quincy streets
would be taken down at 10 o'clock, and
accordingly the members of the council
and others interested were called up
and informed of the affair. Promptly

directly opposite the Central primary
school. The pole had previously been
guyed up with strong ropes attached
to adjacent poles, and precautions were
taken to have il fall slowly in the
proper direction. Cuts were made on
both sides OF the pole close to the
ground and then an axe was applied
on the east side AS il began to lean
pike poles were placed beneath IL and
when IL reached an angle OF about 45
degrees IT was held stationary while
| those present grouped themselves
about the scene and were photo
graphed. The city officials present in
addition to Mayor James were City
Clerk Macdonald, c. e. Rouleau of the
board of public works, and Alderman
Peter Maier. Superintendent Leet of
the telephone company, accompanied
| by a photographer came over to lend
the dignity of his presence to the occa-
sion, and a number of citizens stopped
to watch the proceedings. When the
picture had been snapped the pole was
lowered TO the ground and the wit
nesses dispersed.
The wires have all been stripped
| from the poles between Mesnard and
Tezcuco sereets, and the remaining
cables and separate wires in the re-
mainder of the district to be cleared
will be removed as rapidly as possible.
The taking down of the poles that have
been stripped will proceed as condi-
lions permit, but no definite time is
given by the superintendent of the
work, it being dependent largely upon
weather conditions. The removal Of
the electric light wires on the shorter
poles on the north side OF Quincy
street will be begun soon by the cleo
trio light company, which has already
taken down one. string of -incandescent
lights from Mesnard street to Ravine
street. 1..ks8 fHtts

NEW PosToFFlcE RULE.

Clerks at the local postoffice, who
vend stamps and stamped envelopes to
the public, have been instructed to
hand out these stamps and envelopes
face downward, gummed side upward.
This order has been received from the
federal postal department at Wash
ington, ID. c.
The purpose is to prevent the stamps
and gummed flaps of the envelopes
from carrying germs from the counter
to the mouths of people who lick and
stick them. When the gum side
slides along the counter, it is apt to
collect germs. especially from a wood
en- counter, where bacteria are better
harbored than on marbled-topped
counter.

The investigation disclosed the fact
that the total cost of fires in the Uni
ted States in 1907. excluding that OF
forest fires and the marine losses but
including excess cost of fire protec-

The cost of building construction in

FEDERAL BUILDINGS FlRePRooF
U. S. Now Owns Structures That Cost
Over s3Oo,oo0y 900.

Washington.-Th United States
government owns buildings that cost
more than $500, 100000 and is spending
$40, 100000 a year for new buildings.
None of these buildings is insured
against loss by fire. Insurance at the
ordinary rate would cost more than
$500, 900 year and the government
avoids this great tax by constructing
buildings that are securely fireproof.
Tests 10 determine the strength and
fire resistance of building materials
are now made by the United States
geological survey, and although these
tests are designed primarily to meet
the needs of the government as the
largest consumer, the results are also
available for general use.
The results already obtained show
that cheaper fireproof materials can be
used and that the difference in cost
between freproof and infiammable
buildings will soon encourage fiimsy
construction. They indicate that three
to six times the necessary amount of
material Is habitually used in structur-
al work. They also show the necessity
of better building codes in cities and
Especially of a better enforcement of
