We need sheep for meat but need them just for

Electrical Inspections During Year
Seventy-three inspections. Four

Recommendations

OF last year in regard to fire hydrants,
viz: would recommend that the city
place one at the extreme end of East
Fourth street; one at the extreme end
Of West Fourth street; one at the cor
ner of Poplar and Third streets.
would recommend that you have an
ordinance drawn up in regard to the
building of chimney flues and until
the building laws are so amended a.
to do away with the composition and
single roofs you may expect num-
erous and serious fires. For, to be
liberal with these laws means a more
expensive department, while more
strict building laws may appear to be
a hardship to some. Taking it all in
all 1t is far cheaper in the long run
to use on-combustible material in
construction of all buildings. And

Chance For Stenography
Being Neglected
To the Editor of The Review:

To the Editor of The Review:
After spending two months here
in work preliminary to the opening
of school of shorthand, typewrit-
ing ETC., to meet a conjectural public
demand, l find the enrolment five
names short of the least number up
on which l can reasonably anticipate
permanent success. 1t will be nee
essary for me to secure these five
additional names this week or to give
up, to my deep regret, the enterprise
entirely.
To say, in public or private, that
any particular individual, male or
female, ought to take up the study of
stenography would be impertinent
and preposterous.
To request anybody, here or any,
where else to take lessons from me
would be unprofessional and egotis-
tical in the highest degree.
All that appears further for me
to do is to request you to permit me
to state that the fate of the school
hangs upon the question of the en-
rollment of five additional students
by next Saturday noon.
Thanking you for the service
which you have given so freely in
a good cause and a patriotic cause
in this crisis, when competent stem
ographers, willing to serve the gov
eminent, are 80 sorely needed, ac-
cording to repeated statements from
your distinguished neighbor, Hon.
John A. McHenny, President of the
U. S. Civil Service Commission, and
acknowledging very many kind acts
and encouraging words from so
many of your citizens, to whom
shall ever feel grateful, wherever
my home may be.
