May Override
Veto of Mayor
Ward Street Should Be Opened,
Says Works Board.

AT an adjourned meeting of the
Board of Works, next Thursday. the
question Of the veto by Mayor Hauss-
ling of the resolution to open Ward
street, for which the board asked $247,-
900, will be taken UP. Following the
receipt of the communication late yes
terday afternoon Commissioner Ar
thur r. Denman moved that the board
adopt the resolution, Notwithstanding
the veto.
Mr.. Denman throught that it il wise
to open Ward street at this time. be-
cause it can be done for comparatively
little money. A delay. he said. would
be very expensive. The, other COM
m~issioners seemed to agree with him.
but Commissioner Ryan asked that
action be delayed for a week. SO that
he may have time to consider the mat
tsr seriously. =
Since 1t is necessary to act N a veto
at the meeting following the receipt,
1t was decided to adjourn to meet next
week, SO that Mr.. Ryan may have
time to think things over.
The commissioners were all surprised
at the mayors action and cannot I'M
derstand his reasons.

Concerning the Eel Family.

There is the broad nose eel, and
then again there is the sharp nose
eel. The great difference between
these two varieties is that the broad
nosed eel is the male and the sharp
nosed eel is the female, both being
really of one and the same family.
When summer comes young eels by
the millions shoot from midocean to
shore and wriggle up our rivers. Out
at sea young eels are as clear as glass
and as thin as ribbon. They are about
four inches long, with little head.
The young eel seems not to eat at
sea, and only loses its CLASSY look and
becomes colored as it gets to shore
within reach of q river.
