The city council met in regular session Monday eyening, made the usual allowances and transacted other routine business after which an order was made to widen Dickinson and Pearl street sidewalks from four feet to flye feet between Thayer street and the cemetery. The report of the tiling at and west of the ' third street viaduct showed 456 tiles making 1,150 feet costing $1,493.71. Attorney McLaren asked for an extension of two weeks time in regard to the franchise for the gas and heating plant which is contemplated by parties in this city and the extension was granted. An informal discussion in regard to tile, the price of tile and the advisability of establishing a tile factory for the city, was indulged in. The concensus of opinion seemed to favor a factory or a contract with some substantial firm for tile at an agreed price on account of the scarcity of tile when they are most needed. The question of water meters ras also discussed and it was decided to make a test of different meters before deciding the matter. The Center street viaduct was also discussed. The statement was made that the railroad company has not been able to put in their bridge on account of the scarcity of steel, and the committee was ordered to have the company make temporary drain and walk that will make travel safe for the public.

Additional electric lights will be placed on Sophia street, and a division fence in connection with the cemetery repaired.

Rockefeller has been estimated at too high a figure. Still, the fact remains that by calculating from the size of the dividends he receives from the corporations in which he is interested it Is possible to arrive at an approximately correct estimate of his fortune. A business man closely associated with Mr. Rockefeller and said to be in a position to know is quoted as asserting that Mr. Rockefeller is now by far the richest man in the world, worth more than twice as much as any other American citizen. His Standard Oil stock, at the market rates, is worth $500,000,000, from which alone for several years he has received dividends of $40,000,000 per annum, or a little less than $1,000,000 a week. Besides this he has other sources of Income that bring him about $35,000,000 a year, so that his total income from all sources is not less than $75,000,000 a year, as it has been for several years, and there is no suggestion of a check to the enormous inflow That is to say, Mr. Rockefeller's income for a single year is more than the enormous fortune left by William H. Vanderbilt to his sons. In ten years Mr. Rockefeller's wealth will be nearly $1,000,000,000 from hs annual income alone. . At the momant, it is said, .he can lay his hand on more ready cash than any ten men in New York, including Bussell Sage and the Vanderbilts and Goulds. Is it a burn? Use Dr. Themas' Eclcctric Oil.
