Sheep.

Trading in the sheep market was slow but steady. Indications were that the stock would sell at an early steady figure. Ordinary grade lambs weigh ing seventy pounds sold early in the $8 and fat lambs of choice quality were quotable at $8.25 to $8.5O. Lightweight feeders were quoted early in the day at $500 to $500 and ewes on a steady basis of $300

Hogs.

Local butchers invaded the hog mar ket, prepared to clean the pens at fig ures demanded by salesmen. Top prices of S9.30 for choice hogs were estab- lished and steady prices prevailed on nearly all types. Packers were eager to take hold of the offering, but bulk of sales were made to butchers at prices made between $675 and $9OO Rough heavies were quoted at $55O to $500 and lightweight stock ran from $S.10 to $9.30. No stocl1er pigs were included in the offering, but had there been any such stock on sale it would have commanded prices of from $500 to S900.

Sewer Construction.

Sewer Construction.
 The entire request for new sewer work is eliminated, because bonds can be issued, and very properly ought to be issued, for all new sewer construction work.
 New Macadam
 The entire request of S30o,00O for new macadan is disa1lowed I con- slder that it would be waste of money to lay water bound macadam as a separate pavement.
 If this new macadam is intended as a base for some other kind of pavement, then it should be consid- cred as necessary part of such other pavement, figured as part of it's cost and paid for out of the avails of Pavement Bonds, when same are issued.
 The money requested to repave South Main Street and Broad Street can be obtained in the same manner, from bond sales. It is practically new work, and ought to be done this season, as it already has been too long neglected.
 I think that an increase of ten new patrolrnen is fully Justified, by exist ing conditions, instead of the increase of thirty men asked for, and so recon mend.
 Aldernanic Salaries.
 I find an ordinance in force, duly passed, by the Common Council and approved by the Mayor, no doubt after due consideration, providing salaries of s90O.0O each for the Az dermen of the City.
 It is not for me to assume that this ordinance is not effective and therefore embody in my report the amount required to meet it's obliga- uonS.
 Board of Relief.
 It would be beneficial in various ways, if the meetings of this Board were held in January, instead of February each year, as we would be thus enabled to have a completed grand list. in time for the City Audi applicable to Bridgeport, could be easily made, and I do not know of a single reasonable objection to this course.
 Grand List.
 I estimate that the Grand List, after deductions to be made by the Board of Relief, will be about as follows:
 Tn First District, $246, 900, 900. co In Second District, 4,00O, ,0o0.0 %
 Tax Rate.
 I recommend @ tax rate of 28.3 mills on each dollar of the grand list. 14.9 mills and a tax of 13.4 mills in the Second District. payable one-ha1f on April 1st, 1921 and one-half on September 1, 1921.

examination, magnifying glass Is
necessary. There is wide range In

MYSTERY IN ANCIENT TOOLS
Ingenious Explanation as to Why Iron
Implements Should Have Been
Coated With Bronze.

The National Museum or Wales pos
sesses an interesting show case con-
tainlng q collection of tools and weap-
ons made In Britain Mt time when
Britain. owing to her vested interests
In copper and tin. was still using
bronze. though iron was already known
on the Continent. In this collection Of
implements some are pure bronze.
some are Of Iron coated with bronze.
and all are OF the same patterns as
the bronze implements In current use
in Britain at the time.
Mr.. o. @. s. Crawford offers the
interesting explanation that there was
one enterprising merchant Of radical
tendencies who could make tools OF
iron but was unable to sell them to his
conservative customers, so. making his
wares exactly Ike In shape those In
general use. he dipped them In molten
bronze, and mixing up the counter
feits with genuine articles Of solid
bronze he started on journey to dis
pose of them, but met with a mlshap
and dropped his whole bagful into a
lake. Owing TO his loss the goods
were never dispersed but were pre-
served for us Just as he left them. The
explanation Is possible and an In
|. genIous one but surely not the only
one aglpable.-Exchange.

In planning a storage cellar are secur-
ing well-drained site, on knoll,

no water can settle back in the cellar |;
Insulation against both cold, and heat
