Dear Sir:
| have secured 900 Agricultural
Year Books, valuable bound volumes
with extensive and authoritative in
formation on a great variety of topics
interesting to farmers. These are for
free distribution and I am asking
you to kindly give notice in your pa
per of this opportunity for farmers
to secure these books.
With the supply limited it will be
necessary for those who wish these
books to make application to me
without delay and l will send them
out as long as they last.
These are not the volumes on anil
mails, horses and cattle, those being
distinct publications and to be al
lotted later. Many are confused in
regard to the books and think they
are all one.
| shall appreciate any assistance
you may extend in this matter in or
der that these books may go to those
who will appreciate them and obtain
some benefits therefrom.
Very truly yours,
S. w. GOULD.

WOULD HAVE CITY
own THE CONDUITS
Opinion Expressed After City
Department Allows Tele-
phone Co. TO Build

A petition from the Delaware and
Atlantic Telegraph and Telephone
Company, asking for the right to
build conduits on Twenty-ffth street,
between Market and Jefferson. and on
Concord avenue. was received by the
Directors Of the Street and Sewer De-
partment today. After a lengthy dis
cussion the privilege was granted.
Mr.. Sparks said that he wished the
city could build its own conduits and
rent them to the companies as there
could not be a number of conduits
placed i'm each street. In case the
city built them they could be so built
that sections would be rented by the
telephone and electric light companies
wishing them.
If We refuse to let them trim the
trees along our streets we have to let
them build conduits underground, and
what can be done? said Mr.. Sparks.
