Bnrlingtons city treasury is not a
gamer by the visit Of Buffalo Bills
circus. The show paid license fee
of $50, but it cost the city more than
this sum to repair the pavement on
Madison avenue. The heavy wagons
damaged the curb for two blocks In
the vicinity OF Madison Avenue park.
The heavy wagons drove sections Of
the pavement down under the curbing
, for that distance also. This was due
to the fact that a trench for gas mains
had been recently cut along the lawns.
in order to avoid tearing up the paw
ing for the two blocks. BY reason of
J the trench, the ground gave the curb

opportunity Of witnessing he great

turn on Monday, the 21st. It is quite
, likely that a considerable crowd will
take advantage of the pleasant trip
to witness the great work there.

rule which placed limit Of 40 inch
, es on trunk, the excess OF which was
to be charged for at the rate Of a
; pound per inch, was made to go into
effect July /. Commercial organiza-
i lions whose statesmen are compelled to
, carry trunks not within the limits OF
the railroads protested this move on
!. the part OF the railroads and at a
meeting before the interstate com
merce commission recently they
made known their objections. To COM
promise the railroads adopted the pol
Icy of putting the new rule into ef-
