Zint invested in six lots on West Dennison street or rather on lower Manchester street buying three lots each on the north and south side of Dennison at intersection of Manchester Tho price is stated

opera house on one or the other of these plats of ground there be ing 75 feet front in each This is one of the most important realty transactions of the year not so much on account of the sum involved as in the fact of the development of west Dennison street which for years has been retarded by the refusal of the company to sell these lots M W A Minstrel Dont forget the date of the big min strel by

gentleman well acquainted with the situation on the Sheridan division of the Burlington says that the recent trouble there emphusized by a congestion of business that could not be moved until emengency measures wore employed was brought about by a shortage in the water supply Water is a serious ques tion on that division of the road Most engines are run with two tanks behind them filled with good water at tho ter minals There are way stations where water is furnished but at some of these it is of a quality that causes trouble tho moment it gets into the boilers Before the trouble commenced engines had been pooled that greater results could ue secured from tnem strange engi neers on strange boilers water that foamed in the boilers and lack of water and engine failures caused train delays and troubles not lessened by the rapidly increasing volume of business Engine men were charged with fighting the pool system in this way but it was recognized that with good water supply at convenient stations the serious troubles could have been minimized Good water is secured by the company at Sheridan where tho wator is taken from the city supply Tho city supply is piped from the mountains miles away Now the Burlington is putting in a sup ply system of its own building a pipe line and conducting the water from the hills for a distance of twenty miles In other ways the company is increasing its water supply on the Sheridan divi sion and it is said thatsuch a congestion of business as the one recently experi enced is not likely to again occur Lin coln Journal Adjourned Council Meeting A protest was presented by CEEldred on behalf of W T Coleman and others against allowing P Walsh to move his frame building now on Dodge street to lot 18 blk 21 and in order to give
