Cottage Is on Ramble street, and Is Said to Have Been Built Across
 the City Line.

City Attorney Mclaughlin yester- day filed suit in Circui. court which makes r NJ. Dodson the defendant. and which charges that Mir. Dodson is occupying portion of RambIe street.
 The complaint describes the stree, and the sidewalk lines of Ramble street. claims this street as city prop erty under the city charter. and grant from ale government, and then goes on to recite that the city owns the walks as well as the street. and that there is cottage owned by Mr. bod son which lies across the liue of the street
 The city asks for sl00 damages for having occupied the street. and for a writ of custer that will cause MT. Dodson to yacate the premises.
 There have been a number of con tentions as to property in this city extending beyond the street lines. but few of them have ever gotten into the courts, the reason assigned for most of the errors being the disagree ments that have existed frequently between fosmer city. engineers as to where the city lines properly should be placed

 The lette, written from Assin.pai, Mass, referring to the admiral, says.
 The condition of this poor man is dreadful, he is SD muca worse and I fear to stay here this winter. My leaving him alone with my moth CT while I was in Chieago made him wild.

ter of having a supply of pure spring
water for his guests; but to make as
surance doubly sure it would be a good
plan for him to have an analysis of the
water made in order to protect his visit
ors and his own family from infection.
Moreover, it would be good thing to
boom his business if he were able to
produce clean bill as regards the wa
ter supply Such plan Of analysis,
therefore, commends itself as the proper
course to pursue. As to the milk sup
ply furnished at the summer resorts,
there is even greater need for having
a pure product because of the fact that
the milk is most often served to the
children, who are likely to contract dis
ease.
On the third warning of the New York
health department, there can be no diff
ference of opinion, either. The fly is
not only nuisance but positive men
ace to health, as mas been proved time
after time. Hence the demands of clean
liness and health require that food be
protected from insects Along this line, |
the following statement from the New
York Sun is particularly applicable.

ldvantageously if delicately commune

REASONABLE CARE OF SUMMER
VISITORS.

The public health department of New
York City has just given out some SEN
sible advice regarding care to be taken
by New Workers as they go on their
annual vacations during the summer
months, making particular mention OF
the need for precaution against drink
ing infected milk and infected water.
"the last mentioned operating for the
most part by the infection in country
districts of people who during the sum
mer seek the country for the purpose
of improving their health" The de-
partment also warns against the house
fly as the carrier of diseases and ii is
timely warning, too.
Having noted these words of the New
York health department, it behooves the
people of Vermont who are in the habit
OF catering to summer vaeationists from
the cities to determine whether there is
any cause for complaint at their places
The average summer resort keeper IN
Vermont is very fortunate in the mat
