payers last week that the city was
negotiating for the purchase OF the pri-
vate water companies In the RidGewood

water companies. which charge higher
rates than tho city, Ridgewood Is now

one-sixth OF Brooklyn and 40 per cent
Of Queens. For these reasons alone the

the section. taxpayers claim Negotia-
lions are slow. but II was pointed ont
by Mr.. Wilcox that II tho matter il
taken TO tho courts no time would he
gained.
The point Of contention In the ncgo-
tiations Is the company water sheds

James Smith wounded bear. He
rallied the animal for several miles
but was unsuccessful in his search
and finally abandoned the attempt
However, so sure was he that there
was bear to be had in that vicinity
that he took a few comrades into that
section last Sunday morning and on
that trip he succeeded in bringing
down handsome young brown bear,
his only shot taking effect just below
Bruins right eye. Several friends of
the party enjoyed bear steaks for
dinner Monday. The hide, which Is
