Persons Cultivating , Keep Figures to , Their Results.

Lots Show

Gardens which are being cultivated, in various parts of the city under the direction ot Mrs. H. L. Monarch will be Inspected and photographed Saturday. Mrs. Monarch said turnip seed would be sowed at this time on lots which have not shown np well, in the hope of being able to get better returns from them in the early fall than in summer produce. What prizes will be awarded to persons having the best gardens, and showing the best results, bave not been decided, although it is probable these will be announced following the inspection Saturday morning. That the judges may have something on which to base their awards beside the appearance of growing plants, each person has been asked to keep an account of everything . spent on the gardens and of everything sold. These figures will determine the extent of the municipal gardens for next year. The plow, which was provided fov the Commercial club for use of the gardeners, is being cared for by Mrs. John Klinger, who HveB near the lots. Mrs. Klinger has been very kind in telling the gardeners where they will fiiml the plow and seeing, that it is returned in good condition after each person is through using it.

BOARD DISCUSSES

panies and in each case a different lamp was recommended although all companies submitted bids on three Btyles of lamps. Recommend Lamps. J. A. Davies, of the General Electric company recommended the luminous metallic lamp, which he claimed cost the least to maintain and had the highest efficiency. The representative from the Fostoria Lamp company recommended the Type C, nitrogen filled lamp. L. B. Dewey, of the Westinghouse Lamp company also recommended the nitrogen filled lamp, Type C. The representative from the Westinghouse company of Pittsburg, recommended the carbon flame lamp, which cost more to install but which he claimed was more economical in the end. Because of the great divergence in bids it is practically impossible to determine how much the new system will cost the city although It will approximate $15,000. The Richmond Electrical company submitted a bid to furnish separate posts to be installed on Main street with ornamental brackets. This company also submitted a bid for the separate brackets to be used on trolley poles. The bid for 100 steel ornamental posts was $2,081 for one style and $2,490 for another style. This company's bid for lamps was $2,240; for 100 brackets, $1,145. Oppose Pole Brackets.

The committee from the Commercial

club is opposed to the plan to have brackets placed on the trolley poles on Main and other streets. It is expected that the discussion over the plan now favored by the board of works to have brackets instead of separate ornamental poles constructed will be lively and that considerable interest will be taken in the public meetings. No date has been set for the meeting by Mr. Bavis. If the nitrogen fined. Type C lamp Is used, it will be necessary to have Jour changes a year, which will cost the city for the globes alone, approximately $18, per lamp. According to the bid of the Westinghouse company of Pittsburg, the carbon flame will cost approximately $8.75 per lamp while the metallic flame lamp will cost $11.50 per lamp. If the metallic flame lamp is used, it will require change being made from alternating to direct current while the Type C lamps requires the alternating current. The bid of the Westinghouse company on the carbon flame, ten circuit, lamps to be used on the trolley poles

Is $4,540 per 100 lamps. The bid for 250 pendant type carbon flame lamps is $8,600. The company also placed a bid to supply 100 lamp fixtures for the luminous type lamp, 100 C. P., at $1,144 for steel fixtures, $1,235 for copper fixtures. The bid from the Electric Railway Equipment company on brackets for the trolley poles is $1,000 per 100. Another more elaborate type will cost $1,078. Their bid on cast iron columns was $2,155 and $2,660. The general Electric company agrees to furnish 100 ornamental 4 ampere luminous lamps, 500 C. P. at $9,229. Also 250 of the pendant type at $14,222. The Fostoria company guarantees 1.000 hours of service on the Type C nitrogen lamp. Their bid is for 100 of the 1,000 C. P. type, at $1693.75. They also agree to furnish 250 black oxydized copper unites with compensator, 20 amperes, 600 C. P. at $16.03 each.

GLEN MILLER LINES Hundreds Picnic Under the Trees Every Day. "This must have been picnic day," remarked a reporter to the superintendent of Glen Miller park last evening as they watched hundreds of persons leaving with depleted lunch baskets. "Every day is picnic day here," explained the official. He went on to say that the hot weather has driven hundreds to the beautiful sylvan retreat to escape the sun's rays.

The many springs in the . park have been flooding the trenches, making the work in them unusuallyslow.

DENTISTS FROLIC AT JACKSON PARK

About forty persons, including dentists of the city and their families, enjoyed the afternoon and evening at Jackson park yesterday. Well-filled lunch baskets featured the program. The amount of delicious food which disappeared testified to the soundness of the dentists' own teeth. Besides eating, the picnickers entertained themselves by dancing, pitching horseshoes and target shooting.

Last Tuesday he fell off a wagon, striking on his head, resulting in concussion of the brain. On account of his advanced age, his condition is believed to be critical.

"The sincere sorrow of the many people who have been befriended unostentatiously by Mr. Dougan is a more impressive tribute to his memory than if all the flowers grown in all the greenhouses of the world had been heaped about his bier," was the Way one prominent business man put it today. Flower Fill Room. But flowers as well as a general evidence of sorrow served as a tribute to the memory of Mr. Dougan. By tomorrow evening the Dougan home will be almost filled with floral emblems, sent from all classes of citizens. A pathetic sight was witnessed this morning by several people on North Tenth street. They saw an aged colored man limp past the house, pause for a minute to gaze at it, then continue his way with tears rolling down his cheek. "I've lost my best friend." he sobbed in passing. The funeral of Mr. Dougan will be held at the First Presbyterian church, in which he always took, such enthusi-

M'MAHAN FINDS NEW VARIETY OF MOSQUITO FAMILY E. G. McMahan, city controller, has discovered a new variety of mosquito. The new variety, according to Mr. McMahan, entered his home last evening through the holes in the screen, ft was of the educated species. "The mosquitoes on Randolph street have long bills," said Mr. McMahan this morning in relating his find. "They are beautiful, too, and are long and slimy so that they can get through the holes in an ordinary screen." The city official stated that the reason he knew so much about them was that he wasn't permitted to sleep last night on account of them. He thought he would turn his time to good advantage so he made a close examination of the creatures and found that he had made a discovery.
