There iH no definite movement to
raise the salary Of the members OF
the city council There has been
some talk OF Il. but the policy OF
economy has been adopted all along
the line In the matter OF salaries.
Mr.. Firit: Is there any reason
,rhy me statue Of Chi,f seattle can
not BE- put info moro prcscnfahc

dated condition. ono docs not caro-
TO fake risiiors to see him, In dd-
dition to needing good bath. some
ono hos put an old bucket IN his
hand. tchirh Dircs him very ludi-
cfous appearance. NATIVE son.
The park board has promised to
visit the Chief aud give him what
ever attention seems necessary II
might BE- a good idea for two or
three native sons or daughters TO

Mr.. Firit: Why Is u that the Y.
NJ Q. A. gets Jgs.Ij0 out Of the
com immunity fund trhilc the lolnn-
fccrs Of America get only Sf7.500
aud the SdluaitoH Army only S2S,-
2IJn J. c. II.
This appropriation for the Y. NJ.
G. \. covers five branches. the Ma
tionRl Y. NJ. G. 4. work, the Brem-
erton work. the state work. the Uni
vcrsity y NJ. C. A. and the local
organization. II you will divide
Sg2.5O0 by five, you will find that
the average for the five organiza-
tons is sIs.4s0 or course, the To-
cal work gets far more than any OF
the other branches Of the Y. NJ. 6.
a. because II has the greater work
10 look after hut there is a better
answer. The budget committee that
makes up these allowances Is COM
posed OF representative men of all
denominations and Of no denomina-
ton. There are among them the
names OF leading Catholics Jews.
Protestants and business men. These
men spent 924 business hours, or an
equal OF four and one-half months
for one man making up the budget,
and that ought to insure careful
and fair distribution.
Mr. Firit: icould like 10 knotc
n bush DroiCinp on the property
line can DC destroyed on either
property olCHcr9 There is bush
gro,rinO on the line bcticccn mn
place aud MP ncighbor's. The lady
came orcr on our side and chopped
OF the half Dro,CiHO there, icauinO
only the part that is on her side.
q. W. NJ.
II the roots Of the bush are ON |
your neighbours property. and only |
the branches on your side. then the |
shrub belongs TO your neighbor and I
you can compel her to keep the !
limbs off your property. should you
so desire. II the bush IL directly /
on the line. Il belongs TO both prop
critics, and should not be destroyed |
by one without the consent OF the
other There have been great legal
as we'll ms physical battles over
line trees and fences. The
