GREENEVILLE Union Evangelistic Service at Congre- gational Church—Ladies’ Aid Society Has Recital and Social—Local Men- tion. The union evangelistic services were continued in the Greeneville Congre- gational church Monday evening, be- ginning at 7.30 o'clock with Alexander hymns sung by a chorus under the di- rection of George A. Turner, after a cordial welcome by Rey. Charles H. Ricketts. Prayer was offered by Rev William T. Thayer, Rev. George H. Ew- ing and Rev. E. S. Worcester, and Ar- thur R. Blackledge rendered the solo ‘What Will You Do-With Jesus? The sermon was preached by Rev. P. C. Wright, who took for his scripture reading the passage in Matthew 17, of Jesus curing the epileptic. The disciples had failed in their at- tempt to cast the devil out of this man, failed after success, and th came to Jesus with the question, Why could we not cast it out? And he told them they lacked a certain thing—they were of little faith. = A weak faith will cower every time it will sit down and see all the difficul~ ty and all the impossible. No little Taith will ever overcome an e But We have no reason for little faith. The tides and changes cannot stir the rock on which we stand. Jesus Christ never changes. He is our Saviour and our helper, and he is just as much of a as he ever was. Prayer is an essential of our life, and the secret of the success of our evan- gelistic meeting was prayer. Prayer brings us to Jesus Christ and gains for us a vital experience. to become intercessors, as Jesus Christ is the great intercessor at the right hand of God. Prayer helps us to be- come witnesses, and then we can go and tell our neighbors of Christ. W shall succeed in life when we go before 111?5“8 Christ and pour out our souls to m. The services are to be continued each night this week, with Rev. P. C. Wright as preacher, and Blackledge as soloist and Miss Eliza- beth Crowe organist.

Sixteen New Members Received. There was a very large attenrance at the Greeneville Congregational church Sunday morning, the special feature being the reception of sixteen new members into the church. Had it not been for sickness in eral in- stances it would have been the largest number in a singlé communion in the history of the church. Sleighing Party to Baltic.

A trip to Baltic and return was made At the New Y. social given by the alumni in the school house, a va- riety of games were enjoved and there was dancing until a late hour.

Mr. Moran The reading of the journal was omit- ted by unanimous consent. “The first business was the hearing -on the remonstrance against the peti- tion for building new walks and cross- walks in Division street from Oak to Roath street. 4 Attorney Barnes was informed that there was mo report on the petition and he asked that the remonstrants proceed. Herbert R. Kind was the first speak— er among the remonstrants and he op- posed the building of the walks and crosswalks., He said the remonstrance thoroughly states their position and two years ago the council voted it down, which is good evidence that the improvements are not necessary. A ledge on the brow of the hill would have to be removed and another large sum will be required to take out a ledge on which $500 made a very $mall showing in 1906 or 1907. The ex- pense will all work a hardship on the property owners. The walks are now adequate for the street, where only one new bullding has been erected in 25 years. Attorney Barnes began to ask Mr. Kind questions, but that was objected to by Mr. Moran, although Mr. Kind seemed to be able to take care of him- self. It was decided that the cross examination would be omitted. John A. Moran said he signed the petition two years ago without kKnow- ing what he was doing. He has since thought the mattef was brought by ill feeling. He thought the walks were proper with a few exceptions which can be remedied. He declared that fair play and justice is all that is wanted. The people will build if or- dered, but where the walks are bad it is due to the street. Mr. Moran di- rected his remarks to G. E. Pitcher, whom he thought fathered the petition and referred to a letter printed in Monday’s ‘Bulletin. George Kampf stated that the last time the matter was up it concerned only one side of the street, but now walks are wanted on both sides. There | are 46 families who use it and so do the Polish people in getting to their church. He said they proposed to keep at it umtil they get walks on both | He has lived there over 30 | years and there is no feeling in the matter—simply a need of the people. He said the walks could be stopped at | the ledges, where the expense would be too great. AW, Jary aid he couldn't sec { why there is objection to the walks. He sald he had lived on the hill for 15 to 16 years, and part of that time he had been obliged to walk in the | road to get there. He declared that | there is need of the walks. Attorney Barnes presented two peti- | tions, one from C. W. Hill, who wrote that the walks are bad and he hoped the new ones would be voted. He is willing to do his share. Mrs. Susan Lippitt Hill wrote that | she favored the grade and walk, havimg been a taxpayer for forty years, and the walks are dangerous to life and limb and a disgrace to the city. She declared she was not a suffragetfe, but a sufferette, and hoped the walks would | be built. | At the request of Attorney Barnes there were eight to ten who stood up when those favoring the walks were called for. | Justin Holden declared the walks are | in bad condition, there being no repairs on walks in front of vacant lots, own- ers paying no attention to them. - Be- cause of the bad condition the only safe | place is the middle of the road. Ernest Cheryy said he had lived in Division street twenty years, and he | confessed it a disgrace to the city. Be- cause of bad walks it is necessary to 2o in the road. C. F. Reynolds said that he had wanted a walk ever since living there, ten years. It is within five minutes of Franklin square, and only four living | on_the street don’t want the walks. seorge Pitcher said he drew the pe- tition at the request of neighbors, and had lived in the stret for 39 years. He described the different pieces of prop- erty in the stret on both sides, stating that the Walker, Kind and Simonds valks are stony and dangerous, and | that the Higgins walk is four inches below the gutter and the James proper- poison children as they go §$. « | ty is on a slope. An orchard of alders oisons children as they go along the street at the Simonds property. There a large rock in the Blackburn walk, but the walks in front of the Hall, Mc- Nickle, Trushanskl and Weinert prop- erties are all rignt. Mr. Pitcher said he had a monment in front of his house and Mr. Malmer whas a rocky walk, but wants a beter one. The riscoll is in bad shape and has been get- 1 the ledge in his walk blasted out Dby the city, and it is rough. Mr. Keub- | ler's walk is fir: ate. There was a grade for a portion of the street adopt- ed in 1882, and Mr. Pitcher’s mother had k in front of her property some repairs, while he de- ledze in front of her prop- v and stated that one plece of prop- erty could be sold if there were walks there. He referred to the Boynton front 1d the wants of Mr. Hill, Mrs. Hill, | Messrs. Kampf, James, Welch, Yer- live on the street. Others who live there fant the walks. They ask for the privilege of laying the walks and pa: ing for them and should be granted the tion. Ex-Street Commissioner John Dono- van said he represented Mr. James. He told of the blowing out of the ledge in the stret, and sald that it would be necessary for the city to build many retaining walls and maintain fences if the new walks are ordered. He also said that Clairmount avenue was not properly laid out and that the ‘water from it rushed across Division street and washed away sidewalks. Re- taining walls and fences such as would be needed are now being maintained elsewhere by the city to the extent of 27 miles. Dr. L. E. Walker said that the street department in former years had <al- ways filled' in the walk where the water washeG it away, but since his father's death it had not been done. Mr. Kind asked if a grade had not been ordered for the street in June, 1908.-and it was learned that one was ordered. , . _ Mr. Pitcher closed the hearing when he stated that if there were concrete walks the wash from other streets would not carry them-away. The hear- ing lasted over an hour. Department Reports. The monthly report of the street department showed the expenditure of $1,77.07, which includes $405.85 for the Talman street sewer and $35. for the clearing of snow and ice. Tire Marshal Stanton showed that seven permits for new buildings had been granted in the past quarter and 80_permits during the year. The quarterly report of Chief Mur- phy of the police department showed the total arrest for the past three months. The monthiy report of City Treasurer Peck was ordered printed in the journal. All reports were ap- proved. Committee Reports. The police commissioners reported favorably upon the petition of William Witter and others for an incandescent light in Central avenue at the head of Third street and ordered the light in Third street removed near the cor- ner of North Main street. Upon the petition of P. . Bray for the acceptance of Sturtevant and Ty- ler avenues as public streets, the pub- lic works committee reported that Sturtevant avenue is not in suitable condition and Tyler avenue is not ac- cessible except through Sturtevant avenue and should not be accepted un- til_Sturtevant avenue 1s made safe. Regarding the petition of Gilbert Church, stating that the location of the dump at the foot of Eighth street is not suitable, the public works com- mittee upon investigation finds that it is and gives the petitioner leave to withdraw. As to the petition of W. R. Stevens and others for the establishment of an incandescent light at the south end of River avenue, it was reported by the public works committee that that por- tion of the avenue south of Walnut street ‘is not a public highway and leave to withdraw was given. TUpon the petition of the Eaton Chase Co. for a cross walk in Market street at the junction with Main, the public works committee reported that there wereé no funds with which to do the worl this year. All the reports were approved. Sewers Completed. The committeé nameéd to build the Crescent street and Roath street sew- ers reported that poth had been com pleted the former at a cost of § 5 and the latter at a cost of $362.47. The mayor and the public works commit- tee were named as a committee to hear those interested in the proposed assessment for benefits and they will hold a hearing in the council chamber January 24 for both sewers. ‘Those named for assessment for the Crescent street sewer are Amelia J.

Your committee is unable to find any requirement of law or any vote of the city establishing such fund except tuch as may be inferred from the above mentioned estimute and approval. The origin of this fund as well as the gas and electric reserve fund, so- called, Is doubtless the result of a sug- gestion made in the first report of the board of gas and electrical commis- gloners as follows: . “We beg to suggest whether, as the taxpayers have paid nothing for the plant, it is proper to devote the profits of the plant to the reduction of taxa- tion for general purposes of the city until the indebetedness arising from the purchase ot the plant, principal and Interest, shall have been discharged. Any profits arising from the purchase of the plant should, fn our dpinion, be set apart to pay the 000 bonds when they mature, and not eb left in the hands of the treasurer to be seized upon by other departments: and all moneys charged and hereafter to be charged and collected for depreciation of the plant should be set apart and used for the malntenancé of and re placements which will hereafter be- come necessary in the plant 3. General statutes, section 1981, pro- vides as follows: “All receits from the sale of gas and electricity shall be paid over to the treasurer of such city, town or borough The gross expenses of running suc plant and conducting such business of supplying gas or electricity, including interest on such bonds,and the require- ments of the sinking fund, if such a fund shall have been rovided for the ayment of such bonds, shall be includ- ed in the appropriations made annual- Iy or from time to time by such cit town or borough, and shall be paid ou of the treasury thereof.” 4. The fund is therefore the product of direct taxation based upon ann estimate and appropriation, and can only be expended under the direct au- thority of the court of common council. Your committee therefore beg to re- port that in their opinion the court of common council has no power to dele- gate to any board or department of the city the expenditures of a fund “in such amounts and at such times as in their judgment Is necessary,” but may from ‘time to time act upon recom- mendations of the board of gas and electric commissioners for appropria- tion of moneys from the depreciation fund to be used for specific require- ments of maintenance and replace- ment.
