Weekly Meeting
OF City Council

The weekly meeting of the city council
was held Monday evening with Mayor
Lamb in the chair and Aldermen Noyes
and Berry present. In the absence OF
City Clerk Wadsworth, Alderman Berry
acted as clerk pro TEN. The records OF
the previous meetings were read and ap-
nroyed. The following were drawn TO
serve as traverse jurors in attendance on
the April term of the superior court:
Judson Hall, James F. Anketell, Howard
e Ring. An application for an abate-
ment of tax was received from T. +.
Jordan and granted, as the conditions
seemed to warrant such abatement.
The balance of the evening was used
in an informal discussion of the coming
appropriation. 1t is probable that some
slight cut will be made in the school ap-
preparation. Mayor Lamb favored rals-
ing 5000 for sewers. Aldermen Berry
and Noyes thought that $3.50 could be
made to suffice.
Alderman Berry was disposed to not
raise money for the State road, asserting
the road as located by the State High
way Commission, as well as the material
to be used as suggested by the commits
sion. was not the best. He called atten-
ton to the fact that something must be
done during the current year to the New
Mills road and Brunswick avenue. The
mayor and Alderman Noyes Thought,
however, that the money for the state
road should be raised.
The condition of the city sidewalks was
discussed and all agreed as to the need
of a large amount to place them In first
class condition. Alderman Berry, how
ever. suggested that the same amount as
last year. 5000. be raised. The appro-
priation for the street department receiv-
ed some attention but no suggestions as
to the amount to be raised We're made.

Against Facts that are Facts say
that they will give to the Benevolent

of Facts that Are Facts" we sign our
names below and ask them to pay over
the $25.s
Now they come out with a state
ment of facts against Facts that Are

to be looking back to what previous
governments had done. The question
before the people was what they had
done the past two. years.
We can prove everything stated in
Facts that Are Facts" ,fe=et.s==
/; For instance, they claim we falsified
the figures about the City farm. They
say in their circular that the City
farms receipts were $1469.91. This
amount was all used towards the sup
! port of the six inmates and $14lL0S OF
the tax payers money with it, makine
total sum Of $2S7S.91, as we stated
in Facts that Are Facts Regard
ing the tax rate, the. estate of Benz
Vaughan offered to turn IN ss25O,00t
of taxable property to HalloWell foI
10 years and the assessors, of Halo
we'll accepted it. There was no de-
termined effort made for it by the as

In regard to new street lights, any

TELEPHONE TO EUROPE.
After Eleven Years DR.. Giusepp
Musso Makes Remarkable Claim.

To talk by telephone from New
York to London, ST Petersburg, re-
king. Bombay, Melbourns, Cape Town.
VALPARAISO or any other city that can
now be reached by cable telegraph,
will be as easy within few years as
II is now to talk with Montreal,
Chicago or Baltimore. Give me the
use of a cable and l will attach an
instrument to it that will enable you
to do it today
So saws DR.. Giuseppe Musso, an
electrical engineer and inventor. VINO
has spent $4,000 and II years of his
life in perfecting the instrument that
is to work this revolution. He Is
positive he can prove 1t. In ms
laboratory at so Maiden lane. New
York, DR.. Musso has an "artlnclai
cable" a gigantic instrument that
represents exactly 5000 miles of SUCH
cable as is used for transmitting mes
sages under the ocean, and to this ne
attaches the instrument he has invent
ed. You go into a telephone booth in
a room and some one else goes into
similar booth In an adjoining room
The phones in these booths are con-
nected by this artificial cable ana
YOU can talk with each other as freely
as if YOU were telephoning from one
part Of ST. Louis to another. Inc
"artifcial cable" has been carefully
tested by the electrical testing labora-
tory and pronounced by their experts
to be equivalent TO 5000 miles OF cable.
1t is practical now to telephone about
1000 miles, but this is over an open
wire and not over a cable. Few per-
sons who are not electricians know
that there is a great difference be-
tween open wire and cable telephoning
or telegraphing The open wire cir
cults run overhead and are usually
set on poles Their wires are bare
and are sustained on glass or porce-
lain insulators to prevent the electric
current from leaking out and passing
to the ground by way of the poles.
The cable circuits are wires covered
with insulating material and twisted
together to form a rope, which is
wrapped over again with insulating
material for external protection.
Cables are sometimes stretched over
head, but more generally are laid un-
foreground or under water. In the
case of crossing the ocean 1t is, of
course, impossible to use anything else
but cable.
