pounds. The patrolmen soon became at
tached to the little beast, and while at
first they intended 10 turn the dog over TO
a society that disposes OF stray dogs. they
later changed their minds and decided TO
keep him. The routine OF the Police Depart
ment agreed with the dog. which had been
named Bum because he was OF that kind
OF breed. and every evening he made 1t his
duty to accompany patrolman about his
beat. rarely spending two successive nights
with the same officer.
The food dispensed at the station was
altogether to Buns liking, and as a result

news that their mascot was in grave con-

worse. Being gifted with a robust consti-

HOPE FOR STORM KING ROAD
Orange Supervisors and Palisade Com
missioners operating to Secure 1t.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune.


Newburg. ~ Y, May 5.-The Orange
County Board Of Supervisors will meet next
Tuesday to consider the subject OF contnu-
ing what is known as Route No. 3 OF state
highways from the Rockand County line
through West Point. the Storm King Noun
tain and Nowburg north TO the Orange
County line.
Representatives OF the Supervisors met
the Palisades Park Commission I'm New
York last Friday and discussed the project.
For years the route has been under con
temptation. and the only obstacle In the
way has been the claim OF the Storm King
Stone Company, which asks what the com
mission and the Supervisors consider an ex-
otbitant price for the right Of way over
it's auarries.
The land required by the county for the
highway, which is to be known as the Storm
King Boulevard Is not more than four
acres and the Storm King Company re-
Gently Informed the Palisades Commission
IL could be had for $4,000. The commit
tee of Supervisors urged on the commission
the starting Of condemnation proceedings,
mower the commission possesses. but the
Supervisors have not.
BY getting a right Of way over the land
the great expense of tunnellng the noun
tain would be obviated. There Is a state
annropriation now available for state roads
and II the Storm King route can be brought
under condemnation proceedings applica-
tIon may be made for share Of the money;
otherwise it cannot be applied for. and the
chance OF continuing the Hudson River
Boulevard may be lost.
