In Dreams.

In dreams | know the noble
fires that filled the bards OF long
ago; in dreams / smite celestial
Tyres, and hear the deathless
music flow; but when | wake
and take my pen. or try to strike
undving tunes, | have the same
old luck again. cannot sing for
moldy prunes. In dreams with
seraphim / swing through all the
boundless reach OF sky, and hear
the choir triumphant sing the
songs men know not till they die /;
but when | wake and go outdoors
/ meet no bright angelic maid !;
| see bunch of female bores en-
gagged in militant parade. In
dreams / float on summer seas,
where never bitter tenpests rave,
or lie beneath the nodding trees
that on some tropic island wave :;
but when ] wake | find the wind
has nortllward switched since
yesternight; it brings out goose
flesh on my rind and freezes
everything in sight. In dreams I
leave this sordid strand. where
men are valued for their wads,
and live while in Fable Land,
and eat ambrosia with the gods !;
but when at last | cease to snore,
and rise to eat my morning buns.
a string of men are at the door,
with forty-seven kinds OF duns.

TAKOMA PARK COUNCIL
OPPOSES HIGHER FARES
I. c. c. Asked to Disapprove Of Pro
posed Communication Rates on
the B. & o.

The town council of Takoma Park, Md,
took cognzance of the proposed increase
In Communication rates on the Met
ropolitan branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad at meeting held last
night and adopted resolutions requesting
the interstate commerce commission to
disapprove the proposed rates. The reso-
luton was adopted unanimously.
This action was taken following the
presentation of facts in the case by
George w. Nusbaum, commuter of the
road. residing in Takoma Park, Nd, Mr..
Nusbaum told the council that the stu
alton of the commuters was typical Of
many committing communities.
Hardship Pointed Out.
The resolution adopted by the council
stated that the proposed increase in
communication rates on the Metropolitan
branch ranging from 81 to 100 per cent
appeared to be unwarranted: that such
increases would work a hardship on the
commuters patronizing this line; be d
detriment to the communities along the
route: decrease property values and re-
tard the development Of the entire coun-
try served by this branch The resou-
ton concluded by requesting the inter-
of the proposed increased rates. Copies
OF the resolution will be spread upon tho
town records and also sent TO the inter-
state commerce commission.
n reduction in the water rates of the
town was also ordered by the town au-
thorities. The present minimum rate
is 5000 per annum for 1000 cubic feet,
while under the new rates the price
will be 50. The ordinance adopted by
the council last night provides that on
sly1f RI fto,~ 1,.t, ,,1,
for meter rent shall be discontinued to
all parties on premises where the
meter rent has been paid for a period
of three years or over. In all cases
where meters have been issued during
the past three years the charge for
meter rent shall be continued at the
rate of $50 per annum until d total
meter rent of 50 shall have been paid,
after which the meter rent shall cease.
Issuance of Meters.
With the adoption CT the ordinance
on the subject last night a charge
equal to the actual cost of the meter
and connections, including cost of de-
livery. shall be made for each meter
issued by the town, such charges to be
in lieu of meter rent. the meter re-
naming the property OF the town.
Must Pay for Damages.
All damage or injury to meters own
ed by the town, now in use or which
shall be hereafter issued, except the
ordinary wear i'll service, is to be
charged against the owner of the prem
ises where the meter is i'll use, and the
cost of removal or repair is to be added
to and become a part of the water bill
for the premises where the meter is in
USE and be collectible under the same
rules as govern the payment of water
rents. On and after January l, 1915,
the minimum annual charge for water
to any premises is to be 50, which will
entitle the premises to the use of 5000
cubic feet OF water. The charge for
water in excess of 5000 cubic feet is to
be at the rate of Is cents per 100 cubic
feet.
