A person who tnivolsa ^oo(l deal ami is a good judge of roadbeds says that the track of the Monon is a surprise to him. it having been so improved the fast two years that on but few tracks in the West do trains run more smoothly and keep nearer schedule time. One of enera 1 Manager McDocl's favorite ideas is to have trains run on time, so that a passenger can know to a minute when he is to reach his destination.

LOWER WATER RATES.
The Council Appoints a Committee to Itcason With the Company—School toani Wants a New liwihlin^—
Scheme for a Stone l'ile— Chestnut Street.
All the eouneilmen were present last
Monday except Mr. Yanarsdall. who is
ill. The first thing of importance to
occur after the reading of the minutes
was the presentation of an immense
petition asking the council to take
recognition of the oppressive water rates now being enforced by the Water it Eight Company and praying a careful investigation into the. rights of the citi/.ens with a view to having the rates lowered. The petition also asked the council to increase the capacity of the electric light plant so that more private consumers could be supplied with incandescent lights. The petition was referred to the usual committee.
Mr. Reynolds made quite a lengthy speech discussing in a fair way all phases of the water question. He quoted from the ordinances to show that the company was authorized to charge not over the average of prices charged in other Indiana cities where the works were owned by a company, but if the rates prove to be higher than this average the council is authorized to lower them, lie thought the slip sent out by the company to show that the average rates here were 50 cents lower than the average of other Indiana towns was not a fair showing. The Water it Eight plant is bonded for §300,000, at least three times its actual value, and the attempt is being made to have the Crawfordsville pay interest on that large amount besides the running expenses. One hundred thousand dollars of these bonds are preferred and the city which pays the company over SO,000 as hydrant rental, etc.. does, by order of the court, turn the amount over to these preferred stockholders. Naturally the holders of $200,000 worth of unpreferred bonds are anxious to get interest so they must look to the private consumers. Recently the company defaulted -on payment of interest on these bonds so the holders have decided to squeeze more money out of the citizens. The whole trouble lies in the ridiculous attempt to make a 875,000 plant pay interest on $.'{00,000. Then Mr. Reynolds looked at the matter from the company standpoint and said it was a fact that millions of gallons of water were wasted every year by careless consumers, chief among whom was the city which let water run away from the various watering troughs doing no one any good. Every gallon of water pumped means so much expense to the company and they had a right to complain if one man attempted to sprinkle for all of his neighbors. lie moved that a special committee be appointed to investigate, the whole matter and confer with the company at Chicago with a view to arranging for more equitable rates. The motion was carried and the Mayor appointed Reynolds. Myers and ili/oinson.
A petition for a trough at the. intersection of Market street and Eafavette avenue was re 1 erred to the water works committee and Mr. Myers reported that both it and the trough at Market and Morgan would be nut in at the same time.
The City Engineer reoorted that the north sidewalk" on Wabash avenue between 1 1 liln street and Elston avenue was on an average seven inches lower than the .south sidewalk but he thought raising the walk was not advisable as it would only make the water deeper in the gutter and street lie thought by cleaning out the gutter a slight flow toward l'liim could be secured but agreed with Mr. Reynolds that, the key to drainage in that section was the opening of l'lum street through Elston grove.
F. 1'. Mount sent, the name of li. R. Russell to represent the Republicans as election commissioner but as the Democrats had sent no name in the matter was laid over until the next meeti ng.
The alley between Main and I 'ike streets from Hoone to Marshall was opened.
The school board was present to ask the Council for a new school building. Mr. Brunei*, acting as spokesman, referred to the crowded condition of the Central and Wilson buildings and especially to the unsanitary condition of the latter as being a constant menace to the health of the children. He asked that bonds be issued to the amount of $15,000 or $20,000 now. in order that the construction might begin immediately at the close of school. Building material is now exceedingly low and all conditions favorable. The board would suggest that the building be placed on the present site of the Wilson school except that the two lots facing on Jefferson street be sold and a west entrance be made on Plum street, or perhaps it would be better to seek a new lot further east and north. The board also suggested that instead of letting the work out to a contractor that a superintendent be appointed as in the case of the Mills building. Dr. Cowan added that after June the board would have on hand a surplus of $.'{,000 or $4,000 which could be devoted to furniture and fixtures.
I he matter was referred to the com
mittee on schools consisting of Smith, Campbell and Robinson. Several Councilmen were to remark that the new building should not be where the Willson school is, only three blocks from the Central, but that children of the east end should have an opportun ity to attend school without walking so far as they do now. '1 he Hoard of Public Improvements reported unfavorably to tjie opening of Scott street but favorably to opening Chestnut stieet from Kin. to Plum. The matter, however, was referred to the city engineer, to report at the next meeting, because of the possibility of another bridge over Dry liranch being necessary. The engineer was also instructed to report as to the conditions of opening Chestnut street on through to Mill street.
The proposed sewer in the alley between Main and Market from Washington was also referred to the engineer with instructions to make plans before the Council proceeded further in the matter. The plan of having the engineer report on the grades and other conditions of proposed improvements so that the Council may be- intelligent on the subject before taking action was an idea of the City Attorney.
Mr. Campbell suggested that the city buy the lot just north of the city building and utilize it for a stone pile, store place for tools and implements and remodeling the little brick building on it into an otlice for the electric light superintendent. It can be bought from the owner, Miss Hattie McKwen, for $3,500 although she paid $4,000 for it. The rent on the present electric light office would pay the interest on the $3,500, while the convenience and saving in tools would be additional advantages. The lot is 50

'I here is to be no more dropping of etters into mail cars. The Postmaster General has issued an order that hereafter mail will not be taken on the railroad mail cars unless it first passes through the postollicc. The order was made necessary because so many business men in the neighborhood of railroad depots in all localities mail their letters on the train to save them a large amount of extra work for the railway mail clerks. Time was taken up that was needed in sorting out mail between stations.
A Correction.
MACK, April 3, 1 S'.H.—The item which appeared in last wee's Mace items in THK JOCRNAL: "The old men of Mace have about broke up the Temple of Pythian Sisters" is untrue. Mace Temple of Pythian Sisters is in a prosperous and peaceful condition and there is not a K. of P. who has the privilege of being an honorary member of the Temple who would not do do all in his power to promote the welfare of the Temple. There are Temples in this county that do not admit the men as honorary members, and this Temple would not have the impression go out that the men were the cause of the Temple being broken up. There is not a sister in the Temple who objects to the admission of the Knights.

IN CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, April 4.—Tuesday's aldermanic elections in this city resulted in a net gain of live members in the city council for the republicans. The majorities range from 4,000 to 10. The new council will stand: Republicans, 43 democrats, 25. The present council stands: Republicans, 8S democrats, 39. The republican west town ticket for assessor collector, supervisor and clerk, was badly beaten. In the south town the only republican elected was the nominee for assessor. The republicans elected their entire tickets in the north town, Lake View, Hyde Park and in Jefferson, while the democrats were successful in the town of Lake.
The city voted in favor of the annexation of Evanston and Morgan Park by a large majority. But Morgan Park does not want to be a part of the city and voted two to one against annexation. The annexation proposition as far as Morgan Park is concerned therefore falls through. Evanston did not rote on the question of annexation Tuesday, but will do so April 17.
Klectlon Scenes 1» Chicago. CHICAGO, April 4.—The election of an
