Vandal gained entrance to the First
' Baptist church at Twenty-ninth avenue
and Harney street Tuesday night and de
meaned themselves about as meanly as
they well could. They pried up a window
on the south side of the edifice without
mi ah trouble and climbed inside, whero
the atmosphere was quite warm and com
fortable, as there had been a service In the
church Tuesday evening.
In the church there were two sewing
machlnea belonging to the women of the
Aid society. The burglars took from these
all the drawers and scattered them and
their contents about the floor. They also
scratched and marred the machines.
The congregation owned and kept In the
church a silver communion service, which
the thieves packed up and carried away
with them. This consisted of a large goblet
and six cups and of a tray and four small
bread plates. Besides, several dosen pieces
of table silverware, consisting mostly of
knives, forks and spoons, were taken. The
officers of the church valued this property
at I1B0, but It will be worth nothing like
that amount to the thieves.
Deface the Walls.
Besides stealing everything of value In
the church that they saw which could be
carried away, the marauders proceeded to
scribble on the walls. One message te the
trustees Informed them that Harry Tracy
had committed the crime and that If they
sought his capture he would kill them.
There were other Inscriptions which have
no place In a church, of all places. These
effusions. In their construction and choice
of language, Indicated that the perpetrators
are of that class of young loafers who de
vote what little brains they have to the
study of lurid literature of the Tracy-the-Bandlt
type.
Entrance was made to the church after
the last flurry of snow on Tuesday night,
because the drifts had covered up the
tracks of the thieves, of whom, - it la
Judged, there were at least two.
Unity church, located at Seventeenth and
Case streets, was also broken Into on
Tuesday night. The burglars did not fare
very . well here In . the way of plunder.
They secured only a mite savings bank
containing It 60, but beside this found only
a pair of shears, which they took.
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER
Showing; of Honey Expended and
Work Accomplished During;
the Last Year.
The annual report of Andrew Rosewuter
as chairman of the Board of Public Works,
which has Just been made, gives a number
of statistics regarding expenditures that
have been the subject of much controversy
during the last few months, particularly
the amounts paid out for work on the
streets. His figures on the cost of side-,-alk
Inspection differ materially from some
e the guesses that have been printed. This
Is the significant part of the exhibit:
For the repair and maintenance of streets,
crosswalks, nrldges, grading and other spe
cial work ordered by the mayor 'and coun
cil $6i,999.M was expended; street cleaning,
Inclusive of material, machinery, repairs,
etc., cost $39,090.
The sewer department expended In the re-
f alr and maintenance of sewers and the ex
enslon, reconstruction, enlargements and
adjuncts to the main sewer 135,780.17.
For paving and curbing repairs by day
labor fl, (22.65 was spent, and for asphalt
repairs under contract 130,684.62 was paid.
From the general fund StS.814.ilS was ld
out for miscellaneous work.
There was paid In the aggregate for In
spection on paving, paving repairs under
contract, district and main sewers under
contract and sidewalks under contract and
done under permits, 112.862.17. Of this 12,449
was charged to paving and aewer districts
and will go back to the treasury from spe
cial taxes.
Over one-half the Inspection expenses,
via., 16,871.60, is due to sidewalks. This em
braces examinations of defective wooden
walks for notices to owners to repair the
same, examination and description of lots
and subdivisions for legal notice to con
struct new walks and the Inspection of all
walks laid, both under contract and pri
vately under permits Issued by this office.
The aggregate length of walks laid and
Inspected Is nearly twenty-eight miles. Of
the above expenditure J1.260.7o will be re
turnable to the general fund from the spe
cial sidewalk tax levies, so that 15.110.75
represents the cost of the sidewalk depart
ment to the general public. Whilst the con
struction of permanent walks for 1904 Is
considerably greater than the mileage of
any single previous year, there Is no doubt
that If placed under one responsible head
a better and more satisfactory system of
sidewalk construction and supervision can
be devised and the cost of supervision, etc.,
materially reduced.
