the end. Nothing will better draw the
attention of a farmer dissatisfied with
his own location than the opportunity
to take his choice of a large number
of good farms already selected. And
the farmer often hates to get entangled
in the business troubles that surround
the buying and selling of property, but
these are taken up by the railroad and
all the farmer has to do is pay the
money required and move in.
The Country.
It is the belief of many people that
the land in New York state is worn out,
but to prove that this is not the case
the N. Y. c. established several expert
mental agricultural stations These
proved beyond the least doubt that the
country in the neighborhood of New
York City is just as good as it ever
was
The men who expect to buy land in
the New York Central country are
taken to these farms. where they may
receive practical lessons in whatever
they wish to take up. There are hun
dreds of other farms along the right of
way which are not under the control
of the company and which are ust as
fertile as the railroad property.

mer avenue would entail a still higher
cost than that already assessed by the
board. Mr.. Ebert further informed the
demonstrators that their time to re-
monstrate against the opening of the
street had passed and that the question
before the board today was whether
there were any remonstrances against
the assessments as fixed by the board.
Sliding Scale Adopted.
Peter Lyons. city engineer, explained
the proposition of the opening of the
street again. saying that the step had
been taken in answer to a popular
demand which had been agitated for
years and which. had been repeatedly
advocated by the newspapers of Ham
mond. He explained the sliding scale
that had been adopted according to
which those receiving the most benefit
were assessed the most, and that while
he and the board had worked hard on
making an equitable assessment he
hardly expected everybody would be
satisfied.
City Attorney John A. Gavit explain
cd the various phases OF the law, but
despite these explanations the original
demonstrators were neither convinced
