An Answer to Water Consumer.

The water consumer writing in the Eyening Tribune of July 17 had better get posted in regard to my business before he writes for the entertainment of the public. He says I have never contracted for water or paid for the same. I should like to ask why the Council would go to the expense of putting up stand pipes if there was no use for them. I went before the Council and contracted for water to sprinkle the streets of Greenfield, and was to pay so much per week for the same. Water was to be furnished on or about the 1st of May. I have been put off from getting the water ever since then (with the exception of a few days) with first one excuse, then another. Have had to get water at the Ice Factory and Gordon's mill at a great [inconvenience, but Mr, Consumer, I have paid for it. In regard to the filling the tanks this week, you do not seem to know how to tell the truth. I have only had one tank on the street since last Saturday, only got half the amount of water required at the stand pipes—the rest at the Ice Factory. I have taken pains to inquire of the consumers on the streets where I sprinkle, if they could notice any difference in the pressure of the water when I filled my tank. They all say they cannot. The Consumer would probably have plenty to d0 if attended to his own business and was not so ready to take up the cause of those that were afraid of a little extra work, for which they are well paid.

GREENFIELD'S IMPROVEMENTS.

THIS CITY IS SNJOYING A MAGNIFICENT GROWTH, UNEQUAIXD IN HER PREVIOUS HISTORY.

Seeing so many splendid business blocks and fine residences going up over our city this year led us to make an investigation as to the number and cost pf each. Our figures are approximately correct, and if any buildings have been omitted from our list we should be glad to have them reported to us at once. J. C. Alexander, improvement residence $ 1,200 R. H.

Total amount $177,265

There are many minor improvements we have taken no note of, and it is possible we have missed a few buildings, but the above is a splendid showing. There will no doubt be other buildings and improvements this year which will swell the total amount to over $200,000. What similar city can make so good a showing? Greenfield is becoming noted as one of the most live, active and pro gressive cities in Indiana, and is grow ing every day. Let every man, woman and child talk our city up and never down, and it will continue to prosper. The City Council and our public spirited Mayor, Hon. George W. Duncan, believe in making public improvements, keep pace with private progress and the result is we are growing steadily and symmetrically. Here's to Greenfield—May she flourish and prosper.

Dress .Reform for Men.

Much has been said and written about dress reform for the women and but little for men. Here is an idea from an exchange: "A man will start out on the hottest summer day in a full wollen suitcoat, vest and trousers. On reaching his office or his home he will probably discard his coat and vest and co©l himself in the shade. When he goes out again into the sun hfc resums his coat and vest. No wonder men are overcome by the heat. It is a wonder, however, that no steps are taken toward some intelligent reform in dress for men. The neglige costumes and the sweater are preparing the way for it. A shirt and a pair of trousers oyer light underclothing are as much as a man ought to wear on a hot day. And these or their equivalents ought to be the summer costume recognized by fashion. Men are worse slaves to custom than women in this matter. They endure more actual suffering in conforming to it in the summer months than women do.

Another New Bnlldlnf.

L. A. Davis will build a new business block on his lot just west of the Masonic Temple. When these buildings are completed the old "eye-sore" will present a beautiful appearance.
