W. B. Melt,, Chairman Committee on Drainage. Report received. The special committee appointed to consider the advisability of the city's owning and operat ing the Scavenger Department after expiration of the present contract, beg leave to report that after careful inquiry ami consideration they are of the opiulon that the department can lie or ganized at an outlay of not exceeding SB,OOO and operated at an annual cost of not exceeding $13,300, including salary of superintendent and rent of stables, which annual cost might be diminished as much as SI,BOO tty continuing to raise hay and oats on city Springfield lands heretofore occupied and planted ny the con tractor. Your committee believe that more w ork could In thus manner be accomplished than by the contract system. To properly serve their purposes the wagon bodies should have no openings in the bottoms and have sideboards at least four inches higher than those now in use. Much of the garbage might he burned without furnaces; by using fur naces all might, be burned. Inasmuch as other cities are experimenting in this matter, and will likely attain satisfactory results during another year, delay In the construction of fur naces is advised. Your committee would rec ommend that the Committee on Health and Cemetery be authorized and requested to have prepared necessary ordinance and to contract for suitable stables, mules, wagons and other necessary outfit of the scavenger service, to be owned by the city and operated under the direc tion of the committee. 1) R.

Will you look over your money-drawer aud see if it lias been passed outt” It was in a Chestnut street cigar store late Saturday afternoon. A well-dressed young man was the speaker. His face wore a worried and anxious look and betrayed con siderable perturl>atiou of spirit over the loss of the silver dollar. The dealer found that he had just eleven of the coins and he spread them in a row on the counter. The young man took them up one by one, weighed each in turn in his hand and an expression of vexation overspread tiis face as lie laid the last down very carefully and murmured “l knew I couldn’t tell that way.” Then he went at them again. This time he grasped the dollar firmly with one hand and pressed his nail upon the letter “E” in “States.” At the eleventh dollar, to which he applied the nail of the little finger, all the others having been broken in the fray, there came a sudden change in the Rppearance of the coin. Half of it slid one way and half the other, and in the lower half, covered with a flat crystal, was the miniature of an extremely pretty girl. The young man heaved a sigh of relief, laid down a green back in exchange, and left the store rue fully regarding nis broken finger nails. Spoils Her Honeymoon. From the Elberton ((/a.) Leader.
