"The Municipality" in comment
ing on an address delivered before
the candle light club of Oshkosh by
w. G.. Maxcy.
(Some extracts from Mr.. Make Y S
address,
| have always wondered who were
meant by Gods patient poor, )" and
am patiently waiting for the
senior senator from Wisconsin to
vote on Can adam reciprocity to
find out whether it means the farm
err or the man with the dinner-pail.
Others will say that it is q ques-
ton of public health, and the city
should own the water works for that
reason. A striking illustration of
the way the public health is taken
care of in the city of Oshkosh is
shown by the fact that the city OF
Oshkosh is persistently and wlllully
discharging it's sewerage into the
water from which the citizens get
their drinking water, and is doing
all in it's power to cotaminate and
make unhealthful the water which
it's citizens must use.
On the other hand. private COM
pany is doing it's utmost to relieve
the people from the curse of the
municipal ownership of che sew
system by purifying the water and
furnishing to the city an article of
which this is sample; pure, health
full and suitable for anyone to drink
in spite of the damnable efforts of
the city to pollute it.
No epedemic of typhoid fever has
ever been caused by water from a
water works system either publicly
or privately owned that has not
come from the municipality careless
ly and willfully emptying its sewer
age into the water supply. II pri-
vate parties conducted sewer sys-
TENS as cities conduct them they
would be prosecuted criminally and
then v ould be lucky if they were
not mobbed.
Madison: l dislike to say any
thing about this model of the advo-
Gates of municipal ownership. but
lust look at the fires where they
have failed to furnish pressure. See
how many times they have run out
of water. Recall the burning of the
capital building; no pressure from
the city works: water supply SO
limited that they cannot even keep
the dust down in the street in dry
times. The railroad commission
turned in FIRE alarm at Madison

Heavy Rollers at St. Helena.

If the sea were to break on the
shores of Coney Island in time of calm
weather with the same force as 1t
does on the shores of st. Helena Sec
tons of South Brooklyn would be un-
inhabitabIe in all likelihood. They
have at st. Helena what are known as
calemmas, or heavy rollers. These
rollers are particularly bad in time of
calm weather. They strike the island
with such tremendous force that the
spray is sent over Goat Pound ridge,
which is several feet above sea level
Scientists are of opinion the calemmas

ground for the children, due mainly
to - generosity Of Mr.. Burns Lyman
Smith, Of Syracuse, a man of large
means, a millionaire, in fact, and
son Of the late L. c. Smith of type
writer fame. The latter was one of
the original promoters Of Palisade,
and furnished the largest amount of
cash with which to found this beau
tiful suburb.
A playground has long been wanted
here, the only place for six years being
the vacant lots in the rear Of the ST.
John and Bull homes, facing on Cum
bermede road. There the boys fash
toned the first baseball diamond, and
for several years played games there,
including many with out-of-town
clubs. But the ground was so poorly
adapted for such purposes that no
clubs would come here, and so base
ball at home was finally given up.
The little fellows tried to continue
there, however, until the Pinard house
was built last year, and then they.
too. had to leave without a place to
play.
The Effort Starts.
Last spring the agitation for a
playground began again An effort
was 'itdQN 10 SCl SIOutlQS from MI.
E. IT. Ryan, but he said it was inn
possible for him to do anything at all,
owing to certain conditions that ex-
listed. 1t seemed strange that with all
of the vacant property in and around
Palisade. not a person had so far
offered to do anything toward acquir-
ing place for the children to play on
At this iuncture Fred. Bull stepped
in and offered a plot of twentv-one
lots in the bottom at West Palisade.
an ideal location, which he offered at
S1,100 per lot, the regular price being
So, 900. His plan was to find takers
for the lots among twenty or more
PaliSadians on a 6 per cent. mortgage
for five years. An attempt to work
out this plan was mad, and it is a
fact that fifteen agreements to take
lots were obtained. But just here the
busybodies got in their work and pro-
duced feeling of dissension. talk of
graft in the deal so that it fell
through fatty. It was a great in
justice to Mr.. Bull and the pro-
motors.
But hope wasn't gone out of the
effort. With renewed energy. the
promoters of the playground idea
chung to their faith. dashed aside the
opposition. and reopened the night
with redoubled force.
1t was later learned that the L. c.
Smith estate owned large tract north
of Central boulevard, and running
east from Anderson avenue to Pail
SADIE avenue. The following CORE
spondence tells the rest of the story
of how, after many difficulties, play
ground of good dimensions was finally
secured. 1t speaks for itself:
