BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

An estimate of city work that should
be done during the coming summer
aggregating $33,2S7.30, was submitted
to the Board of Aldermen Wednesday
at the regular meeting by City Engi-
neer Emory c. Crum. When the es-
innate was placed before the board,
the aldermen looked at it, squirmed in
their chairs, and said, 1T can't be
DONE" Alderman Grove reminded the
members of the board that this was
the year for a reduction in the tax
rate. Alderman Phebus looked the
report over and said nothing.
I'm just giving you this estimate
so that you can think it over during
your spare moments" explained the
city engineer.
engineer included only the improve
ments that were almost absolutely
necessary. He read the report and
explained each item, showing that the
work must be done either this year
or at a very early date.
Derr's alley sewer, which has been
popping up before the members of the
board for the past several years, if
constructed will mean the expendi-
ture of more than $4,000. The next
biggest item recommended was the
resurfacing of three streets, entail
ing an expenditure of more than $5,-
000
The aldermen took no action on
the estimate. They are going 10
think it over and pick out the work
that cannot hold over another year.
The following is the report:
Derrs alley sewer, $6,15S.
Concrete curb ana gutter on Pat

Grand Jury Working Rapidly.

A strenuous effort is being made by
the grand jury to clean up the last
batch of complaints and cases by
Saturday. The report from the grand
jury is expected some time on Satur-
day, Unless more cases are present
ed to the jury there is every likelihood
that the jury will finish up its work
by Saturday afternoon.
This jury is cleaning up business in
record time. In spite of the fact that
it has been in session less than two
weeks an enormous amount of work
has been transacted. The jurors have
been thorough in their examinations.
1t is reported that there were an
unusually large number of petty cases
sent into the jury, The last grand
jury recommended that the Justices
of the Peace should dispose of more
OF these small cases, and if they had
not the power it should be given the
Justices of the Peace. Much of the
time of the grand juries is taken up
by investigating these small cases,
which it is claimed could be better
disposed of in the magistrates court.

CURE FOR HAY FEVER.
Injections of Pollen Effective Say
New York Doctors.

New York, Feb. 9.-The cure of suf-
fering from hay fever by the injection
of the plant pollen responsible for
the ailment in the individual cases
is announced in preliminary repor:
published in the New York Medical
Journal today by Drs. Seymour OPP
penheimer and Mark ]. Gottlieb of
this city.
The announcement is based on the
result of laboratory experiments at
the College of Physicians and Sur
geons and the treatment of patients.
Eleven cases were treated in 1914,
before and during the season for au-
tumnal catarrh. Six cases were
treated in advance of the attack and
Of these one was cured for the sea-
son, four exhibited very mild symp-
toms and one was not improved.
Five cases were treated during the
attack. The symptoms of four sub
sided after receiving from one to four
injections, while one patient received
no benefit.

merchant marine. The present Demo-
cratic administration and the present
Congress are now trying to meet these
conditions and the people should support
their efforts for it is for the good of the
people. At the same time we are in
need of more revenue as we are facing a
deficit at this time even with the war tax
passed by this Congress.
peal the free sugar clause in the tariff
law Free sugar has not lowered the
price Of sugar and the people will get
their sugar just as cheap as they do now
and the government will get fifty mil
lions of revenue from sugar Sugar has
always been regarded as a proper and
ust article Of taxation. Jefferson thought
so and it has always been considered
such. By taking the tariff off of sugar
1t is no cheaper to the people and the
government looses fifty millions of reve-
nue., now absolutely necessary. Besides
that and worse than that we have rem
dered of no value millions of dollars
worth of property of the people of Loui-
siana which state was a great sugar pro-
Queer. 1t is said that the state will
probably be lost to the Democratic party
by reason Of the free sugar clause of the
! tariff. There is no good reason why
sugar should be free when we need the
revenue and when it has not reduced the
price of sugar to the people. We be-
lieve and trust the clouds of the prevail
ing depression will in the near future
clear away and we shall go forward in
our usual prosperity. 1t will be no fault
of the present Democratic administration
for it is doing all that can be done to re-
store prosperity to all the people.

Mr.. William B. James has been
placed in charge of the Electrical Depart
ment of the Hagerstown and Frederick
Railway Company. This is position
receatly created by the new manage
ment, and is deserved promotion for
good services with the company for many
years. Mr.. James will have charge Of
all matters pertaining to electrical power
and lighting, as recently the company
decided on reduction of prices in the
latter field, and much adjusting will
necessarily have to be done. In the
field of power, Frederick is practically
undeveloped, and Mr.. James can do
much not only for his compeny. but for
the manufacturing industries of this city
by getting busy at once with this i'm
portant matter.
