Open BIDS FOR
PAVING STREETS
Roy L. Williams Lowest Bidder
Although Cost Exceeds All
Previous Work.

Bids were opened yesterday morn
ing by the Board OF Local Improve
ment for the paving with vitrified
brick CT Fourth, Sixth and Tenth
streets from Ohio street to Wash
ingtcn avenue, and Twelfth street
from Ohio street Poplar street, and
Holhyook avenue from Twenty-first
street to Charles street
4 There were three bidders. Roy l.
Williams. Hanes and Son and w.
r. Halliday.
The lowest bid was made by Roy
Williams. which averaged S1.S2 per
superficial yard square for the
work. which amounts to s53,241.r0
divided as follows;
Fourth street s 5,e23.00
Sixth street .. 6,544.79
Tenth street ~ 6,901.29
Twelfth street . 6,SS6S7
Holbrook avenue 49,. 27.2S4.S7
A motion by Hurd to defer action
on the acceptance OF the bid until
May 3 was occasion for a contro-
yersy which was settled by the ap-
pointment Of committee of three
to consider the bids.
Upon recommendation Of this
special committee the bid OF Roy L..
Williams was accepted.
Considerable adverse comment was
made about town relative to the ac-
ceptancc of the bid as 1t was con
sidefed too high in comparison with
the work done heretofore.
In an endeavor to explain the
difference, 1t is said that there is an
increase Of three or four cents per
superficial yard for screening the
sand and gravel, seven cents in the
increase in cost of cement and )
per cent added for the bond pay
ments which altogether would adj
3 cents to the cost per yard from
the last contract, which was done
for s1.e6 per yard.
The bids of Hanes and Son and
". #, Halliday were more than that

paving.

CATS A SCOURGE TO BIRDS.
Edward Howe Forebush, in useful
Birds and Their Protection)

Edward Howe Forebush, in useful
Birds and Their Protection.)
We have already introduced into
this country terrible scourge to
birds-the domestic cat. My statement
heretofore published, that the mature
cat in good hunting grounds kills, on
the average, so birds a year, is GER
tainly within bounds Kittens and
half grown cats do not catch many
birds, but the old cat that wanders off
into the fields and woods is terribly
destructive Of course, where there
are many cats, for there are not en-
ough birds to furnish each cat it's full
quota.
1t is quite true, however, that some
cats do not kill many birds, and that
some intelligent, or high-bred cats
may be taught not to kill any. Some
cat lovers believe that each cat kills
on the average not more than 10 birds
a year; but l have learned of two in
stances where more than that number
were killed in a single day, and anoth-
er where seven were killed If we as
sumo, however, that the average cat
on the farm kills but 10 birds a year,
and there is one cat to each farm in
Massachusetts, we have in round num-
bers, 10000 cats killing 100000 birds
annually.
If we add to the cats kept on farms
the enormous number of village and
city cats, many of which have good OPP
portunities for catching birds, we
shall see the chief reason for the great
mortality to birds and their young
about our villages and cities. If cats
are allowed their liberty at night dur
ing the nesting season they, unnotic-
ed, rob many birds nests. The cat is
move dangerous to birds than is any
other native animal that roams our
woods, for it is nocturnal, a splendid
climber, good stalker, a strong leap
er and is very quick and active I'm
fortunately, the cat is only half-do-
mesticated, and easily goes back to
wild state If the dog loses its mas
ter it will soon find another, but the
mature cat is more likely to run wild.
'N""san3s Of these wild or half wild
CATS roam the country, destroying
game birds, squirrels, field mice,
chickens and any animal they can
master.

goes wrong, the old story of brilliancy
leading to degeneracy must have its
fling. {
No doubt the conviction of Julian
Hawthorne at Boston of completely in
a conspiracy to defraud, and his SEN
tence to a prison term, will give new
vogue to the old tradition. Julian
Hawthorne, now 81 years old, is son
OF Nathaniel Hawthorne, having been
born at Boston in 1916. He himself
has attained some note as writer
while never showing any approach 10
such literary power as his father dis
played in The Scarlet Letter" He
has long been contributor to many
publications of articles which might
be called topical" in nature, showing
more of relevancy than of inspiration,
and little or nothing of the creative
art.
Very rarely have the sons of authors
fallen to the low estate of Julian Haw
thorne when finding the handouts
slipped upon his hands. Many men
born of brilliant fathers in the world
of letters, the clergy, the law, politics
and other intellectual fields, have
shown reflections of the bright
spark in hayward ways running to-
ward burning candles at both ends, il
Illuminating their noses, or bathing in
the light of great white ways. These
are moral delinquencies, when carried
to excess, and among the sons of men
who have been wrecked on such siren
shores the children of genius have
often been found. But seldom, indeed,
has one lived to an advanced age on,y
to bring shame upon an illustrious
name The melancholy which seems,
somehow, to be always associated with
the name of Nathaniel Hawthorne
grows deeper in the shadow of that OF
his son.

THE FREE SEED BUSINESS
Utica Press Press


The Congressman who take delight
in distributing little packets of seeds
free to their constituents will have
that privilege once more, for the pro-
vision for the free distribution which
was knocked out of the agricultural
appropriation bill in the Senate was
restored by the conferees and is in the
bill which was passed just before ad-
journment. The Senate termed the
distribution political Seeds" for that
is about all they are, and the thous-
ands of, dollars might have been saved
to the taxpayers and no harm would
have been done. The Congressmel
cling to the free seeds as one of their
requisites and imagine that they gain
votes by sending to all their friends
the seeds which cost them nothing
and which in many instances do not
grow They imagine that something
disastrous may happen if they do not
send out free seeds every year
A great many seeds are grown in
Rochester, and only recently the Gov
eminent placed an order with a firm
in that city for $4,000 worth of beans
to be grown this year for the annual
next spring other seeds
were ordered, and for this year 1,200,-
600 pounds of vegetable and $4,000 OF
flower seeds will be required to sup

seed distribution be designated. A
