Circus Man Wants to Repay Jer-

With a Large Present.

NEW BRUNSWICK. N. j., April Is.
Now that Max Brazil, of England has
decided to give Police Sergt. John ".
Clinton the biggest and incest hammered
elephant in his circus, all that remains
is for Sergeant Clinton to decide to take
the elephant.
Mr.. Brazil In letter to the sergeant
said he wished to make a payment with
interest for little kindness at the hands
Of the sergeant twenty years ago. He
says he owns a whole circus now. that
he will come to this country with 1t in
a year or two, and that while here he
will be glad to slip the elephant to
Sergeant Clinton.
Friends have pointed out an elephant
In the house would make watchdog
unnecessary. The sergeant, however.
cant help but figure on what the
neighbors would say II his elephant
should start chasing pet cats. Also. he
doesn't think dog biscuit would go
far with an elephant.
Sergeant Clinton said he. was glad
that he has year or two in which to
decide whether to take the elephant.
He said" It would give him something
to think about when things are dull in
New Brunswick.

THERE is no food product on

Plans for new bridge to replace the
Calvert street structure are being con-
sidered by the Commissioners TO carry
the traffic to Cleveland Park, Pine

an appropriation for the proposed struc-
ture in the District budget
Commissioner Kutz outlined the his
tory of the Calvert street bridge, ard
declared that while it was Inadequate
to accommodate the traffic to the north
west suburbs, 1t was perfectly safe. He
said the bridge had been examined by
experts. and would easily sustain the
62,000-pound cars and other vehicles
which pass over ii.
The Engineer Commissioner also dwelt
at length on the need of a new structure

was the plan of the Commissioners to

street improvements and that during
1914-l915 more than 400 trees had been
planted I'm the jurisdiction.
