Streets the Hoard of Public Works Intends to Improve if It Has 3Iotiey Enough. The Board of Public Works has completed its schedule of the streets to be permanently improved during the coming year as far as it is possible to do it now. This is the most important work the board is called upon to do. In fact, it was organized for the purpose of looking after public improvements. The board has been working on the coming year's schedulo for live or six weeks and has held several meetings to consider the matter. Several different phases of the question were presented, tho most important of which was to use to the best possible advantage the street-improvement appropriation, which amounts to $80,000. Last year's specific appropriation was G0,COO, but a fund of $27,000 was left over from the preceding year, making a total fund to be nsed for permanent improvment? amounting to $7,000. With that amount to pay the city's cost of improvements the board improved four and a half miles of streets with asphalt and about the same number of miles with brick, besides the other improvements that were made in the way of grading and graveling streets and alleys, etc. This year, of course, tho appropriation is $7,000 less, but with a proper display of tviedoni and economy it is fully expected that as much paving can be done the comitig year as last. T hi year's work will be continued on the system begun last spring of connecting all improved streets no that a pavement will r.ot begin and end in the mud. It has also been decided to allow the interested property-owners to have a voice in the kind of paving material to be nsed, except where either an asphalt or brick pavement is to be extended. In such cases the same Kind ot material will be used. STREETS TO BE IMPROVED. In Che course of a week or so tho board will have before it a complete table showing everything in the way of permanent improvements that has been done the past year, includingthonumber of square yards, the length, city's cost, property-owners' cost and tho total cost of all improvements. The first of the year the board will be ready to begin work in earnest and immediately after Jan. 1 it will begin to adopt declaratory resolutions for the improvement of the streets already decided upon. The object of beginning the work po early is to allow contracts and get the paving underway early in the summer to thoroughly avoid another sach a fiasco as was threatened this fall. wh?n it looked as though nono of tho brick streets would be completed according to contract. It is hoped to have the - work of tho entire year begun, as near as possible, by Juno 1. The schedulo that has been prepared by the board divides tbesirects to be improved almost equally between the north and south parts of the city. Tho schedule is as follows: South of Washington Street South street, from East to Vst streets, one mile. Fletcher avenue, from Last street to Dillon street. Kentucky avenue, from Washington street either to the railroad or to West street. Georgia street, from Delaware street to Kentucky avenue. Washington street, from Missouri street to White river. Virginia avenue, from Washington street to the viaduct with asphalt. North of Washington Street Massachusetts avenue, from Delaware street to tho L. E. &, W. railroad, with asphalt. Illinois street, from New York to Seventh street, with asphalt. Pennsylvania street, from New York to Seventh street, with asphalt. Delaware street, from Seventh street north, with asphalt. St. Clair street, from Illinois street east as far as possible. As far as possible the above schedule will be strictly lived up to and will only be deviated from when the money runs out. The streets named south of Washington are neither connected with any paved street or partly paved with any certain kind of material, except in the case of Virginia avenne, and the wishes of the majority of the property owners will decide the kind of pavement to be put down. Virginia avenue, of course, will be paved with asphalt, because the lower end of it and Washington street are both paved with that material. The sentiment ainoug the propertv-owners on South street and Fletcher avenue is about evenly divided regarding the merits asphalt and of brick. Kentucky avenue will no doubt be paved with brick, as the majority of the property-owners favor that material. It is the intention of the board to improvo this thoroughfare from Washington street to West street if it tiuds it has the money to spare, but if not it will only be improved as far the railroad tracks. There is also a bnre possibility that the board might decided to improvo South West street later in the season. On the 2orth Side asphalt pavements have already been laid on Massachusetts avenue. Illinois. Pennsylvania and Delaware streets, and the supposition is that the same material will be in demand when it comes to extending the improvements. The St. Clair street improvement will no doubt be brick. Of the asphalt contracts determined upon the past yearonlr one Stevens street will have to lay over until next spring. There was a two-thirds remonstrance against this improvement and an ordinance was sent to the Council where it was passed about four weeks ago. The contract for Stevens street has already been awarded. The entire cost of the improvement will bo $7,S00of which the city's portion will be WOKK OF THE YEAR JUST CLOSING. In this connection it will no doubt be of interest to property-owners to know how many streets and alleys were improved with asphalt and brick the past year, and what the improvements cost. They were as follows: Asphalt Delaware street, from Massachusetts avenue to St, Clair street, total cost. $35.00X03; Greer street, from Stevens to McCarty street, total cost, $o,5Sfi.t7; Market street, from Illinois to Tennessee streets, total cost; C5.5S7.40; Massachusetts avenue, from Ohio to New York street, total cost, Slo.lt)9.C2: Meridian street, from Tweltth to Fourteenth street, total cost, S S5S45.il!; Pennsylvania street, from Ohio to New York street, total cost, S2.H44; Pennsylvania street, from Fifteenth to Sixteenth street, total cost, $7,Clt.70; Seventh street, from Alabama to MisiHippr utrret, total cost, Soi,UkJ.t: Shelby street, from Pros, pect south 174 feet, total cost.

Property -Owners Seem Upaalmoa In Asking That It lie Done with llrick. One of the most substantial citizens' meetings that has been held in this city for some time occurred at the No. C Enginehouse, on Sixth street, last evening. It was a gathering of the prominent property owners on Illinois street between New York street and Fall creek, to decide on what kind of a pavement to petition for this year, and for unanimity of sentiment the meeting was strikingly unusual. There were present about twenty-five or thirty property-owners, among whom were Dr. Cary, W. II. Sproule. Jacob S. Woods, Mr. Huston, Luke Walpole, D. W. Grubbs, CapL W. D. Wiles, George W. Jones. John Lazarus, James Johnson, It. H. F. Peirce, Kichard Heaves, Charles Kailsback, Cal Darnell, Mr. Bytield and others. Shortly before S o'clock the meeting .was called to order and Dr. Carey was chosen chairman. AV. H. Sproule acted as secretary. Chairman Carey stated why the meeting had been called together, and Secretary Sproule read a petition which had been tilled out for Jresentation to the Board of Public Works, t was a petition for brick, and included a remonstrance against asphalt. The unanimous sentiment of the meeting was for a brick pavement, and all it required to spur those preseut on to vote for a motion was for some one to state that Morris Defrees had said Illinois street would be improved with asphalt. After tho petition had been read Mr. Darnell stated that live di Cerent petitions would have to be presented to the board in asking for the improvement of Illinois street from New York street to Fall creek, as there were live sections of different widths. The lirst section is from New York to Kt. Clair street, the second from St. Clair to First street, the third fron First to Seventh street, the fourth from Seventh to Twelfth street, and the fifth from Twelfth street to Fall creek. Then followed a discussion about the kind of pavement desired, and the sen no of the meeting was that Illinois street should bo improved from New York street to Fall creek with brick on a broken-stone foundation. The next business was to appoint a committee of two property-owners on each section of the street to circulate the petition for the improvement, and the following committees were appointed by the chairman: First section. Dr. Carey and D. W. Grubbs; second section, William Sproule and Mr. Huston: third section. Cal Darnell and Captain Wiles; fourth section, N. S. Uyram and John Claypool; filth section. George Body and Mr.'Mintern. These committees were instructed to make haste with their work and be ready to present their petitions to the Board of Publio Works in a few days. The major part of the discussion was evolved when some one touched upon the Citizens' Street-railroad Company and its omnipresent tracks. Mr. Grubbs wanted to know what the sense of the meeting was on this point. He. for one, would not be in favor of paying a sincle cent toward paving between the Citizens' company's tracks. This Bcntiment was echoed by Captain Wilts and one or two others, but Cal Darnoll had a diff erent theory. He said ho would be in favor of caving between tho rails of the street-car company's tracks, converting tho center into a grass plat and pledging the new Council to refuse to vote to extend the street-car company's charter until it should lirst agree to pay back to the property-owners wnat it had cost them to pave between the rails. Mr. Grubbs thought the more sensible plan would be to pave up to within eighteen inches of the tracks and pledge the Council Dot to vote for a franchise unless the company would agree to complete the improvement by paving between its tracks. Any arrangement like this applies only to Illinois street below Twelfth street, as the Citizens' company laid its tracks on Illinois street from Twelfth north before that part of the street was brought into tho city, and before the County Commissioners would grant tho right of way they made the company agree, when the street was improved, to pave between its tracks. Consequently, on the section from Twelfth street to Fall creek this old agreement will be enforced. The above matter was finally submitted to the meoting. and it was voted that the petitions should exclude any mention of the street-car tracks. Captain Wiles was the most pronounced in his views concern ing the Citizens' company. He said it was nothing short of robbery for the property - owners to be compelled to pay for improving a part of the street virtually owned by a private corporation. He thought it would be a good idea to convert the center of the street into a grass plat, and it was on his suggestion that a commit too of three was appointed to confer with President Frenzel, of the Citizens' company, to see what arrangement, if any, could bo made about paving between the tracks. Someone suggested Luke Walpole's name as a member of the committee, and the blind justice; caused a ripple of merriment among those present by remarking.: "That won't do; I can't speak German." The committee, as finally made up, consists of N. P. 'lay lor. Solomon Claypool and Captain Wiles. The petitions will be presented to the Board of Public Works in tho course of a week. BOSTON ENGINEERS. Municipal Officials Visit Indianapolis and Look At Our Street Improvement. Y'esterday noon City Engineer Mansfield had a couple of distinguished callers. They were Mr. Henry P. Wood, executive engineer of the street department of Boston, and Mr. Charles If. Cutler, superintendent of paving in that city. These gentlemen have been making a tour of tho larger cities of the country, investigating the paving systems in voguo. Indiauapolis is the smallest city visited, but the visitors 6aid they had heard so much about tho improvements being mado in this city that they decided to come here. Among the cities visited were Buffalo. Cleveland, Chicago. Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis, Kansas City, Indianapolis and Washington. Mr. Wood said he was very much taken with tho beauty of Indianapolis and the comprehensive system of improvements that has begun. Mr. Mansfield outlined to him the proponed 6ewerago system, and that also met with his approbation. The gentlemen ielt yesterday afternoon for Washington, well satisfied with their visit to this city. Before leaving Mr. Wood secured copies of the street-improvement specifications in use in this city, and promised to forward to Mr. Mansfield those in use in Boston when ho reached home. No Appropriation Needed. Several days ago Controller Woollen forwarded a communication to City Attorney Bailey askiug if it was necessary for the Council to make appropriation for moneys paid into the city treasury as trust funds, or could the Controller draw on the treasurer for such money in favor of those entitled to receive it. without action of tho Council. Yesterday Mr. Bailey sent an opinion to tho controller, holding that unless it be witn reference to judgment or salaries fixed by statue or ordinance concerning the necessity of appropriating money to pay which there is some conllict in the lav, it is amply provided that all moneys belonging to the city, before being applied to tho payment of any obligations against it, shall be appropriated by the Council. It seems equally clear that where money is paid into the hands of the city treasurer for some speciiic purpose in which the obligation of the money so paid is designated, thus in e fleet making the corporation a mere trustee for receiving and paying out such fund, that no appropriation is required. In such cases a distinct and separate account should be opened upon the books of the city to the credit of which such moneys should be placed and such account properly closed only whenjthe money Loa been aid out lor tho purpoao intended.

Mr. Bailey cited the fact that condemnation proceedings is the most common instance illustrative of the point in question. Materials In the Viaduct. There is considerable work necessary in constructing a viaduct like the one over Virginia avenne. Here are eorao figures: Five hundred tons of iron superstructure, 2.000 square yards of paving on the roadway of tho superstructure, 1,000 square yards of paving on the sidewalks of the superstructure, 5,003 cubic yards of masonry, 1,500 cubic yards of concrete, 4.000 cnbic yards of excavation. 20.0tX) cubic yards of earth tilling for the approaches, 7. Cix) square yards of pavement for the roadway of the approaches. 3,725 square yards of pavement for the sidewalks of the approaches and 1.830 feet of curbintr for the sidowalksof the approaches. The erection of the ironwork began Sept. 15. South-Side Want Streets. Property-owners on McCarty street are beginning to agitate the improvement of that 6treet this year between Virginia avenue and South Meridian street, thus connecting the Virginia-avenue, South Delaware and South Meridian-street pavements, the material to be either asphalt or brick. There are any number of nice residences on McCarty street, and it is badly in need of improvement. The people on the South Side are beginning to appreciate the benefits to be derived from street improvements, and will make a united eltort to secure them on a number of the main residence and business thoroughfares. Sewers Built In a Tar. Two and twenty hundredths miles of brick and pipe-line sewers have been constructed tho past year, of which 1SS miles were commenced last year. BEER AGENTS INDIGNANT.

Ther Resent the Action of Council in Squeezing Them for the British Syndicate. The action of the Common Council in passing tho brewers' ordinance has created great indignation among the local agents of outside broweries doing business in this city, who have a great number of customers among the four hundred saloons of this city In fact, the only place in which complete satisfaction reigns is among the beer vats of the Indianapolis Brewing Company, which will gleefully pay $1,000 a year in the hope that this amount will be too heavy a burden for the smaller concerns to carry. Tho agencies here are those of the Pabst Brewing Company, of Milwaukee; Sachs-Pruden Company, of Dayton, O.; Terre Haute Brewing Company, represented by Maurice Donnelly, who is now kicking himself for having made Democratic speeches for Thomas L.Sullivan and the entire ticket; Anheuser-Busch Company, of St Louis; John Kaufman Brewing Company, of Cincinnati; Fobs & Schneider, of Cincinnati: the Aurora Brewery; Ilerancourt Brewing Company, of Cincinnati. Union Hall, opposite the court-house, gets beer direct from Shallcr Bros., of Cincinnati, but whether the proprietor is to pay $1.0u0ayear or not has not been determined.' "We agents do not intend to let the matter rest here," said Jacob W. Loepper. who represents the John Kaufman Brewing Company. "The house I represent is absolutely an American concern. Not ono cent of foreign capital is invested in it and not one cent of its earnings is sent to foreign stockholders across the sea. We will tight this British syndicate that goes under the name of the Indianapolis Brewing Company from first to last. This case will be taken to the Supremo Court. The other agencies have indicated that they will also light. The British syndicate makes a showing of tho taxes they pay as a reason for crowding out the aceucies that pay less taxes. When the three breweries now iu that syndicate began they were small taxpayers. They built iQ trade, their wealth increased, and taxes correspondingly increased. That is what the agencies are doing. We are paying in proportion to our possessions. Tho Indianapolis Brewing Company puts as little mhney in Indianapolis as possible. It gets' hops from New York State, some from Germany; its barley from Butler county, Ohio, and Canada. This syndicate does not give qmployroent to Indianpoiis coopers, for it buvs its beerkegs in Cincinnati. The only thing this city furnishes is the brewery laborers, while a great share of the profits of the concern go to England. We have no doubt we shall beat the scheme in the Supreme Court." ; IRVIXGTOX. NOTES. New Christian Church to Be Built Literary and Social Clab. A committee from the Ladies' Aid Society, consisting of Mesdames Dailey, Mullendore and Banning, met with the official board of tho Christian Church .last night to inform that body what action the society had taken in reference to using the $1,000 received from the sale of their lot. It was the wish of the society that a portion of the money be used in tho purchase of a lot owned by Mrs. E. C. Thompson, on the corner of Downey and University avenues, und the remainder put out at interest until the congregation in ready to commence building the new church in the spring. The board coincided with this, but thought it best to refer the matter to the public congregation on next Sunday morning. About $4,000 have been pledged for building the church thus far, and no special effort has been made. A new church will be one of the sure things next season. The Citizens' Literary and Social Club will meet on Friday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Thompson. Prof. Harriet Noble will give a resume of her late European trip. Prof. John Towers will give a talk on vocal' music, and Mrs. J. C. Clarke will furnish the current topics. There will also be instrumental music. Mr. J. M. Tilford nas bought a lot on University avenue, near the college, and will build a house. IRYLNGTOX WILL INVESTIGATE. Committee of Her Citizens Will Go to Mayg- . ville to Look Into Fuel Gas. The Harris process of making cheap fuel gas is now agitating the Irvington people. A meeting was held Monday night at Captain Brouse's office, and a Mr. Haiab, from Moysville. Ky., representing the company which have a plant in operation in that town, was present. He stated that gas could be manufactured by this company at a cost of 11: cent per one thousand cubio feet, and that any kind of soft coal could be used, and that there was no residue, all the coal being consumed. He invited a committee to come to May sville and inspect the plant, offering to pay their expenses. This liberal oiler was accepted, and Messrs. Johnson. Layman, Brouse. Gordon and Hay were named as such committee. They will go during the week. Mr. C. B. Cones, one of the proprietors of the overall factory in Indianapolis, and a large holder of Irvington real estate, was also present. He stated that he had such faith in it that he had already invested several thousand dollars, and intended going to Maysville to find out what the right to manufacture for the State of Indiana would cost. Liquor Llcenftfft and Bridge Inspector. The County Commissioners yesterday were occupied chielly in granting liquor licenses. The board disposed or another piece of patronago. tho best they have, by electing J. H. Whittaker bridge inspector. This office is worth $20 a week. The appointment of a night watchman remains yet to be made. Building Permits. Building permits were yesterday issued to the following persons: Thomas Neal. cottage, Orange street, $350; Mrs. C.

POTTERY FROM B00KW00D

Only One Kind of Ware Displayed at the Art Association's Exhibit. Vases, ritchers. Mugs and Tots of Various Gracefcl Forms Shown &t the Opening Evening. RT in its most fascinating forms is introduced to the Indianapolis people by the Art Association in its annual series of exhibits, and unless the city were so favored with an organization of earnest, energetio men and women much that Syf i8 beautifnl in desiRn BUU nujlviuituaui l numu not be seen by hundreds who now have a great variety of articles brought within easy reach, from paintings in oil and water-colors, embroideries of home and foreign make, through casts in "block" or complete, and finishing the circle is pottery. The sixth annual pottery exhibit of the Art Association was open to members last evening. Tables have been arranged in tho east parlor of the Propyhcum and spread with dark olivo covers, which make a soft, effective back-ground for the pieces, shown. The collection this year is from the Kookwood pottery, of Cincinnati. This ware has alwava been remarkable for its slaze. colorinc and shading, and in the one hundred or more pieces there are not only all the varieties exhibited in former years. but several new ones. This pottery is unlike any other, while there are chinas of all kinds and colors, and so closo resembling each other that most people cannot name the make, unless they gee the factory mark. It is not so with the Bookwood, but probably as the varieties increase some of the nt:w makes will ble other wares. The shadings on a single; piece range all from a brown that it is almost at the base, up all tho shades of olive and yellow to cream vg! and so wonderfully aro they blended that they are more like the soft tints of a sky than like work that is manual. The pinktinted pieces are beauties. These cover oil the shades, from a dark terra cotta tip throush the pinks and salmons, to the faintest hint of a creamy blush. The new colors are the shades of blue, of richer tone than before. Where former pieces were dehcateceil, the later ones resemble the old blue. The designs are as odd as tho colorings are varied. The Mowing, graceful lines of the Grecian, the steady curves of the Koman art, are largely used, but many of the combinations of lines and curves are entirely original, and may well bo appropriated and called American. The orna mental designs are almost t entirely floral. Nasturtiums in "all their rich colors of leaf and blossom. Columbine makes a pretty dec oration. One ot the most pretentious pieces in the collection is a tall, graceful vase, with branches of moss roses, buds and leaves. A few have clusters of cherries. Hops in their shades of green are artistically wrought The embellishment is much finer than heretofore, more attention being given to detail. The only; piece with a hcure isamug.1 and the design is fanciful. There are vases of all sizes and descriptions, jardinieres, large and small, sev eral novelties in inkstands, cream-pitchers and sugarbowls, plates, trays for table, desk and toilet purposes, queer-shaped pitchers, and several articles that tosomo will suggest an infinity of uses, while others would wonder for what they were manufactured. The collection is fine, but not so large in former years, owing to the great demand made upon tho factory by dealers. The ware is popular and the call for it increases at holiday time. The dark pottery is comIileiuented bj- the loan of china, which has teen made by local decorators. Much of this is very handsome. Among the contributors are Miss Alico Boss, Mrs. Frank Coffin. Mrs. A. E. Ferry, Mrs. D. W. Cotlin and Mr. Paul Putzki. Mrs. Harrison was invited to send some of her work, but nono has arrived. Tho committee in charge is Mrs. T. C. Day, Mrs. Addison Bybee, Mrs. A. It. Baker and Mrs. W. J. McKee. The exhibit will be open from 10 a. m. till 10 r. M., to-day, to-morrow and Friday. Queen Either Auxiliary. The bazaar which is to be held this afternoon and evening in Masonic Hall, under the auspices of Queen Esther Auxiliary, is in every way worthy of patronage. In five of the booths the colors of the order aro used, and from each is dispensed the articles of use, adornment or taste that aro usually found at such places.
