A Lewyer Who Earned His Fees.

Critics of Henry L. Stimson, repub-
lican candidate for governor of New
York. who think that he was overpaid
for his services to the government as
special counsel in connection with the
prosecution of sugar and other customs
frauds, have perhaps forgotten how
much cash the government put in it's
pocket as a result of Mr.. Stimsons
very careful and successful work. This
work has been practically completed,
the candidate for governor is cam
paigning, and he has resigned as
special assistant to Attorney General
Wicl1ersham, who, in accepting the
resignation, briefly reviews Mr.. Slim
sons work. This included the collec-
ton without suit of nearly $1,000 goo
of duties of which the government
was defrauded in the underweighing
of sugar. Indirectly. Mr.. Wickersha m
says. the service performed by his as
sistant has resulted in opening up
lines of evidence of the undervalua-
into the United States as a result of
which it is anticipated the govern
ment will collect large additional Sums
of which it has been defrauded by
such underva lua TONS 1t is alto
gether probable, of course. that if Mr.
Stimson had not done this work. it
would have been done by some other
lawyer. Anyway, it was well done.
and the man who did it was worthy
of his hire. Certainly the attorney
general hasn't a suspicion that the
man who recovered for the govern
ment a lot of money that had been
stolen from it was verpaid.-Hartford
Courant.

BIG CHANGES ARE NOW
PLANNED FOR LEWISTON

Lewiston Ihado.-Lewiston is Just
now experiencing a wave of public
sentiment for improvement in general
and the residents of the city have
petitioned the council for the estab-
lishment of two new improvement
districts, which embrace more than
two-thirds of the city, and, in addi-
ton, after considerable agitation, an
ordinance has been introduced call
ing for the building of hundreds of
miles of cement sidewalks in all parts
of the city where street grades have
been established all or which will ap-
proximate more than 100000 ex-
penditure.
1t is now conceded that the two i'm
provement districts will be establish
ed by the council at once, and will in
clude the curbing, grading and park
ing of the streets in the residence dis
trict and the probable installation Of
a hard surface pavement along one
of the principal thoroughfares in the
residence district leading to Lewiston
Orchards. This will keep the street
department employed for the next six
months in carrying out the improve
ments, and cannot fail to be the
means of permanently beautifying the
city
The city also has provided for the
installation of additional pumping ia
cilities at the city water works, which,
with the intake now being installed,
will make the water supply of the city
far better than it has ever been be-
fore.
According to the provisions of the
city charter, the council has approved
| the estimates for the coming fiscal
year, which, with the estimate Of the
| assessed valuation Of the city, will
make it possible to fix the tax levy,
] The tax levy at present is 9 mills, but
| it is expected it will be less than that
sum for the coming year, since the
city has more than s4,600,000 assess
ed valuation. The approximate de-
| partmental expenses for the coming
year have ben placed at $s3,167. This
| sum is less than the expenses during
| the last fiscal year. which amounted
to s100,684.35. The receipts from all
sources were s95,490.57.
