BOARD DECIDES TO ' DIVIDE CONTRACT

Improvement of West second Street May Be Brought About in This Way.

CONTRACTOR CAN CARRY IT

WHEN THE BOARD HAS COMPLETED ITS PLANS FOR DIVISION OF WORK, ESTIMATES WILL BE SECURED AND BIDS ASKED.

After much urging, and consideration, the board of works has decided to

'divide the West Second street improve'roent work, already pulanned, in order to secure bids on the work which, it is 1 . ... ... ...... i

asserted, will eventually cost auuiu $3.8',O0O. By dividing the sewer work in two sections it will be possible for the contractor taking the work, to secure his money after the first section of the job is completed and if the same rontractor also scures the work on the 6econd section, he will have a large portion of his money with which to proceed. "After three unsuccessful attempts on the part 01 the board to secure bids from contractors on me work, the matter has met with much discussion, particularly among the people on the West Side, who will be directly benefited by the sewer's construction. Many plans have been suggested, but the division of the job seemed to the board more feasible than did many of the others propsed. The contractors refused to take the job when they could not receive their money as they went along, at least a portion of it. By the division of the contract all fear of non bidders will vanish.

The board will complete its plans for

DAILY SETTLEMENT TO BE MADEBY OFFICERS Change in Law Is Effective on December 1.

SYSTEM MUST BE REVISED.

As the time for the enforcement of

the depository law, passed by the last legislature, draws nearer, the officers of the state are beginning to plan changes in their separate departments in order that the provisions of this new act may be met. According to the new measure, instead of waiting until three months have rolled around the officers of the state who collect money will make daily settlements with the treasurer of state, paying to him every day the money that came into their office on the preceding one. A complete revision of the bookkeeping system in a part of the offices affected by this law will have to be made before it becomes effective on Dec. 1. Balances of accounts have to be made at the end of each day and the fees and other funds must be paid to the treasurer on the next day.

The trade in corn was not as spirited as it was in wheat. Trade advanced much in sympathy with wheat Trade in oats was slow.

There is now a baby elk in the already large herd at the Glen. The little fellow is a beauty, probably the prettiest little elk that has ever been born at the park. The other animals promised the board of works during the summer failed to put in their appearance. It is probable that next year several additions will be made to the zoo.

MATERIAL IS VERY HIGH.

The number of building permits issued by City Controller Webster Parry, during the nine months of the present year, has been less than in previous years for the same length of time. The decrease, Mr. Parry thinks, is duo to the fact that building material of all kinds has advanced to such a high price, in proportion to what it sold for In years past. The amount invested in new buildings falls several thousands of dollars below the general average up to this season of the year.

DEATH HOUSE READY; SHERIFFS RELIEVED New Jersey State Prison to Have Executions.

Des Moines, la., Oct. 7 Disguised

as a laborer, Abraham Slimmer, the millionaire philanthropist, is traveling over that state lavishing his wealth on the poor and needy. Reports of mysterious gifts by a mysterious stranger have deluged local newspaper offices today. The only plausible explanation as to the identity of the strange Samaritan is that Millionaire Slimmer is abroad. This is one of the millionaire's ways of gaining happiness. His theory of life is that the only true source of happiness is doing good for others. His gifts are not the outgrowth of a desire to ease his conscience, for he has always led an upright life and is an honest man. Rut n few years ago he gave his palatial residence in Waverly to the Sisters of Charity for a hospital, and modestly retired to the woodshed as his rbode. Here he arranged an apart

ment and lives modestly, amusing himself by superintending the work of keep! i ; the hospital grounds in order. Every once in a while he sallies forth on an expedition of unburdening himself of wealth and always returns with hundreds of hearts blessing him. It has been some months since he made a bequest and it is expected he will soon announce another gift.

A force of men is now employed In cleaning the lake at Glen Miller park. In the past few years the lake has filled up considerably with sand and debris. All water has been drained that the work may be pushed. The long hedge fence near the Elk pens is being destroyed. The fence during the past summer became very unsightly and the board of works thought best to do away with it.
