CLAIMS COMMITTEE TO MEET.

The Claims committee will meet Fri day night A meeting of the Ways and Means committee has also been called for that night. The Claims com
 1nittee will have plenty of routine
 business to consider but little of spe- ciaI importance. Many people have been wondering of late if the claim against the city filed by Carrie F. Kirk, former office assistant in the
 tax collectors office, has been lost sight of. It is explained that Miss Kirk's attorney. Arthur Comley, had requested the committee to postpone hearing on the claim until such a time as he desired to have the hearing held. He has not requested the hear ing since. The Ways and Means com Inictee will have among other matters, communication from the police de- pertinent requesting that a bill of $25o to pay for the lawsuit brought against Detective Edward Cronan, be paid: Detective Cronan was sued as the re- suit of am arrest and 1t cost him $150 to fight the suit. It is desired to have the city meet the bill and the Ways and Means committee is asked by the Police board to designate from what source the money should come. The committee will also be asked to decide where to get $25o for an adding machine in the Assessors office.

The Agrfculturist of the Lehigh Valley Railroad has issued this week, to farmers along the line of the road, an a1leviation, if not a remedy for the distress caused by cattle shortage, and as a means by which Eastern farmers may get some of the benefit of high prices, he urges that cheap farm land be used for cattle raising.
 Free range in the West has about isappeared," he says, feeding is ex- pensive. not enough cattle are raised. Here there is land, with fair inn provements, selling for $20 or $50 an acre. which will produce many kinds of fodder crops and is admirably suited to cattle raising.
