, in operation the snow could be finally
disposed of almost as quickly as 1t can
now be stacked. and IT seems altogether
probable that under ii the whole city
could be cleared in less time and at less
cost that is required TO clear very few
streets under the present clumsy and
primitive method.
The committee was Of the opinion that
in order 10 put this plan in operation IL
would only be necessary TO equip each
manhole with an outlet pipe having
4-inch nozzle. placed just below the
cover and directed down the msnhole TO
the sewer opening I'm such a way is 10
break up the snow and carry it off as
fast as thrown In. The water would, OF
course. only be turned on during the
time the snow was actually being re-
moved. Incidentally. these water out
let's might be so arranged that they could
be used as fire hydrants. and as such
they would possess decided advantages
over present ones. because they could
never freeze and would be out of the
way when not in use.
With a contrivance of this kind II is
not a all likely that there would be any
blockage Of the sewers, even if the snow
was in large pieces and very hard; but IL
at times there was a blockage II could do
no harm, because the temperature in the
sewer is always so high that snow or ice
would rapidly thaw.
The quick removal of snow from the
streets is a matter OF such great impor-
!, lance that no pains should be spared and
no time lost In finding a way to accom-
plish il II there is one. II the only diff
Guilty in the way of this plan is the lack
of competent supervision for the men
lection should not stand for a moment,
for It is entirely possible TO overcome II.
IF the Mayors committee on pave
ments was wrong in the belief that the
plan recommended by II was feasible, IL
seems as If that fact should have been
thoroughly demonstrated before now,
for. notwithstanding the apparent con-
tempt with which this and other far
more important recommendation OF the
committee have been treated by the city
men Of standing in the community, who
were actuated solely by desire 10
benefit the city, and their opinion was
certainly worthy OF more respect than
has been paid TO IL.

through the trees. Can't see much of
1t now. can you?" the old man chuckled.
My father was appointed superin-
tendent soon after the cemetery was
started, and was reelected every year
after that till his death. Toward the
end of his life 1t was his ambition to
serve for 80 years; but he died in 1881,
only one year before his wish would
have been fulfilled.
Every one knew my father for miles
around here. They all liked him and
called him Pop. He loved children, and
they used to come here in swarms. But
his great fancy was for animals, and
he had 'em in all varieties. He always
had several dogs, General, a black
Spaniel, was the favorite.
"MENAGERTE" IN CEMETERY.
He used to breed hundreds of rabbits,
and the graveyard was alive with 'em.
Snakes, mice, bats. a lamb and even
two black crows formed part of his
menagerie at various times. Neighbors
used to bring all their sick pets to him
for treatment He used to let his pets
play around in the cemetery-called 1t

the trees and shrubbery Flower beds
were his delight, and in summer the lots
were always beautiful. When my father
died the association elected me to fill his
place, and here I've been for q years.

since 1t was built. and I'm glad they're

Nearly all the inscriptions on the old
