STREET RAILWAY
HASTENS PAVING

In order to hasten the work of re-
paving between the car tracks on
Second avenue, the TTi-city Railway
company today began making prepar-
atoms for using wet concrete for a
foundation instead of the dry con-
crete which was laid in the first two
blocks of the job The former job
while thought to be better and more
permanent requires more time. The
drawback TO the wet concrete is that
the cars have to be run on one track
for several days while the concrete
under the other track is setting.
Gross overs" will now have to be
used.
The railway company Is hurrying
through with its work so that the Nc
Carthy Improvement company OF Dav.
export can begin the laying of the
asphalt which is to cover the avenue.

PAYS A FINE FOR
SUNDAY OPENING
Rene Dumouhn, Proprietor of
Saloon, Nearly Loses
License.

Rene Dumoulin. keeper of a saloon
at 12s Twentieth street, faced the al
tentative Of paying a fine OF 800 and
costs for keeping his saloon open yes
terday. or going out of business and
he chose the former course He was
tried by Justice Of the Peace J. H.
Cleland, the complaint against him
being made by Mayor H. NJ. Schriver
and Officer John Johnson.
The saloon proprietor strenuously
protested that he did not know his sa-
Icon was open, using the argument
which was employed successfully last
week by Tom Simcox. Unlike Sim.
cox, however. he could not prove that
he was away from the saloon or that
his regular bartender was not on the
job. His denial that the place was
open was contradicted by evidence oil
Oficer johnson. who had drank beer
at the place during the day and by
the fact that private detectives had
bought and carried away with them
a bottle Of whiskey which was pro
duced by the mayor.
Two other saloonkeepers we're fined
500 and costs this afternoon wher
they plead guilty to being open yes
to-day. They were Alois Duyvejonck
Third street and Fifth avenue, and
Julius Duyvejonck, S31 Fifth avenue.

SAMPLES OF WATER
SHOW BIG CONTRAST

On display in the window OF the f.
o. Vale, Jr, store on Second avenue
between Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, are two jars of water which
were placed there by Lewis l. Birdsall,
superintendent of filtration at the
city's filter plant. The jars furnish
a remarkable contrast. One is of wa
ter taken from the intake pipe and
the other is the finished product of
the filter. The former is discolored
and repulsiye in connection with
thoughts of drinking. The latter is
clear as crystal and its sparkle makes
ii very inviting TO thirsty person.
Not alone in looks is there a con
trast. however. for chemical examina-
ton shows that the finished product
is as pure as it seems while the other
is anything but healthful.

GRANTS BERNER
SALOON LICENSE

After public hearing this morn
ing, Mayor H. NJ. Schriver decided to
grant a saloon license to Otto Berner
who desires to conduct a dram shop
in his new building at the corner of
Thirty-first street and Fifth avenue.
The action was opposed by Taxman
brothers through Attorney William
McEniry. Bernard d. Connolly ap-
peared for Mr.. Berner. The petition
ers showed a majority not only of
frontage but of property owners as
we'll and on the face of it. the mayor
could not refuse permit.
When the first request for a permit
was made by Berner, an injunction
was secured against the mayor, re-
straining him from issuing license.
Similar procedure is threatened this
time
