especially busy, occupying the interv-

points of historic interest in receiving
callers and making reply to such Of

had been able to examine.
After breakfast he summoned to him

panied him throughout ghc expedition

a present of cash from Colonel Roose-
welt and gift from Mrs. Roosevelt.
The sight seeing programme began
with visit to Gordon Memorial col

in 1902 by subscriptions solicited from
the British people by Lord Kitchener.
From the college drive was taken to

SOME PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENTS

Now that the season is near at hand
when out-ofdoor work may begin it
is not untimely to revert to some of
the public improvements that are ex-
pected to go forward the coming sum-
mer The allusion may appear some-
what trite, as each improvement in the
past has been urged and as regularly
postponed. Inasmuch, however, as thev
are matters that vitally affect the pub
lie a few lines at this time may not be
devoid of interest.
Among the work devolving on the
county commissioners that would seem
to stand no further postponement is
the re-painting of the river bridge. 1t
is needless to advert to the necessity
of proceeding with this work the com.
ing summer. Successive grand iuries
have recommended that the bridge be
painted and the county commissioners
recognize the necessity of it. 1t is
generally understood that the work
will go forward the coming summer
That the retaining wall west of the
abutment of the river bridge will be
( built by the county commissioners is
by no means so certain, although it IS
an Improvement badly needed and has
been recommended by several grand
juries. The spot at present is familiar
10 people as an eyesore and retain
ing wall would not only make it pos
sible to fill up and grade the declivitv,
which is now q dumping ground. bur
would also render q very dangerous
spot secure.
The borough council which is now
organized and ready for u season S
activity, will find Il summers worI, on
East Market street, which needed re.
pairs three years ago, but which, in
view of the prospect of paving. has
been postponed from year to year. 1t
would seem that the question Of paw
/ ing, between Pine street and Cook 5
court, has been settled at last and that
the work may go forward very early
this summer The special task in street
| Improvement that the council has to
address itself to is the reconstruction
of East Market street between Cook 5
court and the hospital macadam.
! When the Improvement of this sec.
tion of East Market street was con,
sidered last fall it was thought that il
could be paved, with State aid, under
the act of May /, 1905. AT present, il
! would seem, that the idea of laying q
pavement on the upper section has
been abandoned and that the only form
of improvement in view is macadam
| Experience has shown that street i'm
! proyement on this important thorough
fare of town proceeds slowly and it i.
hoped that the new council will devise
some means of hurrying up the work
/ otherwise another winter may be upon
us before the Improvements on East

EGGS DROP To
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS

Along with the general awakening
incidental to the approach of spring
the curb stone market has taken on a
new aspect. On Saturday morning
there was larger turn out both of
venders and buyers than at any time
since the holidays.
Eggs, which have been increasing in
quantity and falling in price for a
couple of weeks past, Saturday seemed
to be the ruling commodity and the
price went down to twenty-five cents
per dozen.
During the last couple of months it
was only on rare occasions that more
than half dozen farmers could be
counted in market. There were times
when only the butchers and few 9th
er regular attendants were on hand.
On Saturday, however, Mill street with
its respectable array of wagons and
the sidewalks crowded with good
natured buyers jostling each other to
get the pick of produce on sale called

iugly all had eggs on sale. AS a rule
these were choice-largo and fresh-loob
/ ing. At the opening of market eggs
Isold at thirty cents but it was not long
before the price dropped successfully tc
/ tweuty-cight and twenty-five cents.
The largest number of eggs was sold
at the latter figure. which was also the
price that prevailed at the stores dur
ing the remainder of the day The
drop represents decline Of fifteen
cents in the price of eggs during a
period of less than month. The hens
have not yet gotten down to work
rightly and with an increase III the
yield of eggs will undoubtedly ensut
a further drop in price. All of whicl
is encouraging news considering that
Easter is coming on apace.
During February eggs sold at forty
cents per dozen, which is probably the
highest price they ever commanded in
the curbstone market.
