VIIE RICHMOND P AJiLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1912.

WILL EXAMINE THE CITY WATER GAUGE Board of Works Notes Variance Between City's and . Company's Gauges. The board of public works will inspect the water pressure gauges of

the Richmond City Water Works and the one at the fire department headquarters. Chief Miller reported to the board that the two gauges did not correspond especially-.when the water works gauge was high. Superintendent Howard Dill of the company reported that the gauge at the fire-house was probably not working right for when there was a 145 pound pressure at the plant yesterday the city gauge showed 85 pounds. He Bald that the tester of the firm which makes the gauges would be in Richmond for the purpose of making tests at the pump house and would regulate the city's gauge free of charge. Mayor Zimmerman suggested that the gauge at the pump house be exchanged for the one at the hose house. The city officials believe that their gauge is correct. When the pressure is low both correspond though they ordinarily vary about twenty pqunds. The five per cent reserves on the paving of North E street from Tenth to Sixteenth street, on North D street from Ft. Wayne avenue to the Doran bridge and for improving South A street 1 with a new1 cement curb and gutter were ordered returned to the contractors. The engineer reported all repairs to be in good condition. The total amount of the reserves is $2,052.39. ' Jerry Miller, captain of hose house No. 4, requested the board of works to pay him his regular salary during the time he laid off waiting his trial when accused by. Joe Baetz, another fireman, of stealing a pair of snips from a nearby building. His request was not granted by the board. That the new city scales will not do the inhabitants of the city enough good to pay for the cost and the installation was the decision of Mayor Zimmerman who said that a very .small per cent of the people would use them. President Kennepohl said if a man thinks he is being swindled he can go to the city scales to test the weight. Mayor Zimmerman and others said this would not be done once in 1000 cases. An ordinary scale beam protector will be erected. The board decided to replace the fence on the city's property on Butler Hill which was torn down Hallowe'en. It also decided that the contractor was not responsible for the destruction of Harry Kauffman's fence in the first, alley north of Main street between Eleventh and Twelfth street. The contractof Notified Kauffman that the fence was in a line with the work and told him to remove it. Street Commissioner Genn was instructed to repair the condition of South Eighth street at the corner of Eighth and B streets. The P. C. C. & St. L. railroad offi

cials were notiled to remove the cinders from Sheridan street. The city attorney was instructed to order the T. H. I. & E. railroad company to repair the Main street bridge between the car tracks where the bricks are torn up. Will Sweep Streets. As a result of the many complaints of residents along National avenue from West Fifth street to the corporation limit that the road was far from dustless as the contractor assured the city it would be, when it sold the material, Street Commissioner Genn was instructed to sweep the street free from sand. The company agreed to pay $25 toward the expense of cleaning it, but advised that the sand be left on the street as it is a protection to a street for the first few months after completion. The final hearing on the assessment role for the improvement of South Seventh street from J to L street was read. The lot owners outside the city limits in Beallview subscribed $185 to help the improvement. Benefit assessments ranging from $1.50 to $3.50 were made on the property holders. The total cost to the property is $235, to the city $498.50, special assessment $498.50 making the cost $1050.50.

YOUNG VANDALS ARE IN POLICE COURT

The youthful vandals who on Hallowe'en night raided the northeastern part of the city, breaking windows and tearing blinds from windows, were arraigned in police court this morning and told to pay for all the damage they did. If they fail to do so, they will be prosecuted in the juvenile court. Seven boys were caught, but they promised to make the rest of the gang contribute to the expense of replacing the damage. No charges were brought against them.

CURIOUS EPITAPHS. Quaint Inscriptions on Ancient Tombs In England. A desperate attempt at an epitaph In the nonconformist Campo Santo ia Bunhill fields, where Bunjan. Defoe, the Cromwells and Mrs. Wesley lie buried, is found on the tomb of Lady Page, a person who seems to have suffered terribly from what we call dropsy, bnt which might have had another name in those days: Here lyes Dame Mary Page. Relict of Sir Gregory Page (Bart.). She departed this life March U. 173, In the 56th year of her age. In 6? months she was tapped 66 times. Had taken away 240 gallons of water Without ever repining- at her case Or ever fearing the operation. A more successful attempt is that found on the tomb of Vavasor Powell, who seems to have suffered eleven years' imprisonment for preaching the gospel. He was known as the 'Whitefield of Wales:" In vain oppressors do themselves perplex To find out arts how they the saints may vex. Death spoils their plots and sets the oppressed free: Thus Vavasor obtained true liberty. Christ him released, and now he's joyned among The martyred souls, with whom he crlr.s. "How long?"

Ths Sinner. Of the late Bishop Charles C. Grafton a Fond du Lac man said the other day: "Bishop Grafton was remarkable for the neatness and point of his pulpit utterances. "Once, during a disastrous strike, a capitalist of Fond du Lac arose in a church meeting and asked leave to speak. The bishop gave him the floor, and the man delivered himself of a long panegyric upon captains of industry, upon the good they do by giving men work, by booming the country, by reducing the cost of production, and so forth. "When the capitalist had finished his self praises and. flushed and satisfied, had sat down again Bishop Graftou rose and said with quiet signWcance: ' 'Is there any other sinner would like to say a word?'
