The question as to how the electric

500 to pay for an additional engin-
eer and $25 to increase the salaries Of
three men," said Hatch.
There was no objection to the $l00
which was admitted as absolutely
necessary but over the SIS a great
hue and cry was raised.
How can we reconcile ourselves to
increasing the salaries Of these men
when we have already refused the fire

Because neither DR.. R. @. Aver
Or. James T. wayson nor any Of the
principals concerned In the charges
brought by Mayor John G. Lane
against DR.. Aver were present at the
meeting OF the board OF supervisors
Tuesday night, no action was taken
on the communication from the mayor
announcing that he had suspended Dr..
Aver on charge of professional mis-
conduct and the matter was referred
to the police committee, which is COM
posed OF Horner. Larsen and AHA, for
investigation. There was no discus
sion.
In making this motion Arnold said:
There is no one present from
whom information may be obtained
and for that reason 1t would not be
fair to discuss the charge now. 1t Is

Of city department and therefore IL
Is entirely proper that it be referred

Notes and Comments

April truly, has always been an
eventful month IN the history of the
United States, but the statement re-
Gently very widely published that the
Civil War came to an end on April 9,
1865, with the surrender of General
Robert E Lee to General Ulysses S.
Grant, at Appomatax Court House,
Va, is not altogether correct. Gen
eral Johnston did not surrender until
April g. General Taylor did not
surrender until May 4 The last fight
Of the war took place on May Is, near
the Rio Grande, and the last Confed-
crate army In the field, that under
General Kirby Smith, did not lay
down its arms until May IS. But, to
add one more date to the interesting
april list of condolences, 1t is q re-
markable fact that the Civil War was
officially declared ended on the End

A Town Forest

The Lieutenant Governor of the
State, an officer of the State Forestry
Department, the Chairman of the
Town Planning Committee and Park
Board and other distinguished people
helped the town WalpoIe, Mass, to
conduct a genuine community cele-
bration upon the occasion of the
planting of the first acre of their new
town forest.
A public spirited man, Mr.. George
a. Plimpton, donated $50 acres for
the development of this enterprise,
and at the annual town meeting an
appropriation of $500 was made to
start the forest project. One thou
sand boys and girls were participants
In the community demonstration. The
children were marched to the acre
which had been carefully plowed,
Spaded and marked off into twenty
sections. A supervisor in charge of
each section instructed the children
IN the planting of the five year white
pine transplants. When they were set
out, a stake was fixed beside each tree
bearing the name of the child who
planted it. Fifteen acres of white
pine and red pine will soon be forest
ed. A tablet is to be erected at the
entrance to the forest and record
will be kept of the names of the boys
and girls who have taken part in the
planting.
