~ TO o'CsiIsghsn Lots al Once and

The June term Of the circuit court
brought welcome news to Crystal Falls
people in the shape of the settlement
Of the dispute in the title 10 the
Bendick property upon which the city
is figuring to build a part Of the new
city hall. This case has been hanging

tion will be able 10 do anything abait
construction work ON the new build
ing.
The causes that brought about this
mix.ap was the failure 70 record two
deeds given by former owners OF the
property. The two lost deeds brought
about search for the grantors or
their heirs and in this procedure It
was found that there were number
Of minor heirs 10 figure with one man
in China or Japan and another man
who went away TO the civil war aud
never returned
Atty Fred II. Abbott, acting for
Mr.. Bendick. went into court TO
perfect title hy publication and the
finishing touches were put on the ac-
tion by Judge Flanuigan's signature
last Tuesday
Mr.. Bendick lost 10 time in gett-
ing action. for as soon as his title was
affirmed he went 10 Norway TO see Mr.
.O'Callaghan about securing the lots
west OF Dr. Darling's hospital. II is
Mr.. Bendicks intention. il he can
secure those lots. to move bis building
acroes the street onto them il he can
not secure them he will have TO move
10 elsewhere.
Mayor Nesbitt, when seen yesterday
morning, was in favor of getting right
az work on the hall and doing as much
as can be done this fall he figures
that if Mr.. Bendick gets his building
of the lot In 30-days that the time in
tervening can be used by the city in
getting the contract LET.
That would allow construction work
10 commence about the first of August
and, with fair fall. the building
ought TO be Enclosed before the cold
weather sets in and if 40 work can be
continued on it throughout the winter.
One advantage Of beginning the work
so that il will extend through the two
years will be that some Of be funds OF
next year will be available for use on
this work and thus allow the city to
go ahead with the many improvements
that are planned now without cramp
ing the municipality for funds.

Chief POTTER
TO CONVENTION
MEETING OF INTERNATIONAL
FIRE CHIEFS IN NEW YORK
WILL BE BIG EVENT.

Fire Chief A. f. Potter reached
New York city Wednesday night, hav-
ing gone to attend the Fire Chiefs
International Convention which calls
together the largest number of expert
fire-fghters of any similar convention
in the world.
The underwriters, through their edit
cational propaganda, are seeking very
properly to show to the people of
America the tremendous waste occa-
stoned by the fire destruction of prop
ertp.
The figures furnished by the In
surance Press show that the fire loss
in the United States in five years end
ing with 1912 amounted to S1,045,1 1885,
175, an average of $2O9.O76,635 a year,
more than $17OOO,O0O dollars a month,
for five years. The worst feature in
the consideration of such startling
figures is that they represent absolute
destruction of property, every cent OF
which comes out of the productive
forces of the country.
