CITY SURVEYOR
F|LESREPORT

A recommendation that land
condemnation proceedings be not
instituted except in cases where
streets and alleys to be acquired
are improved, was made to the
District Commissioners today by
District Surveyor Melvin c.
Hazen.
The recommendation was con-
tained in the surveyors report
for the 1881 fiscal year. It poted
that during the past year there
were IS condemnation cases
pending in court, out Of which
Is were confirmed by the court.
The report says, in part:
"It is not believed fair to the
property owners to condemn
their land and levy assessments
for benefits and then permit the
property to lie idle for some
time, thus depriving the prop
erty owners Of the enjoyment
of the benefits for which they
have been charged"

a homing pigeon, evidently off its
route, flew upon window-sill Of
The Times-H Herald at noon today.
It's register number is 4013
MCCA'31, as shown by a tiny ring
around the left leg. On the other
was a small rubber message car
rier marked S-58, but there was
no message.
The bird alighted in a window
back of the desk Of Elmer ".
Smith, advertising manager of
The Herald. He procured bread
crumbs and water, and the
homing pigeon, quite at home,
partook heartily Of both. Then it
squatted upon the window-sill as
though intending to make a pro-
longed visit
It was thought the visitor would
flutter and try to get away when
flashlighted, but it merely blinked
its eyes.
