Since we have learned to know nnd fear
i ho festive microbe we havo ceased to

hope had mil been nl'gethor vain.

Jacob R, Rogers, tbo millionaire who left
his great fortuno to tho Metropolitan Mu

Instead ot by bequest.
Six weeks before Mr. Rogers' death Wil
liam O. McDowell, an attorney and a close
friend and business associate of the dead
capitalist of many years' standing, muilo
the draft of n letter In which tho tenor of
the endowment to tho museum was to

McDowell has come forward and In a
letter to Robert W. DeForest, trustee un
der the Rogers will, has related tho cir

nnd produced a copy of the communication
to the trustees of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, which ho prepared for Rogers.
Rogers' Investigation of the endowment
along ths llno followed In tho will and all
of tho incidents disclosed by McDowell are

"Not more than $1,000 should be , ut
for cutting weeds. 1 am willing t ap
prove the expenditure of this amount la
the central portion of the city, but will
not approve a resolution giving the Board
of Public Wui'.h authority to spend as
much of the goneral fund as It less fit tor
cutting," said Mayor Moorei. "The ts solu
tion passed by the council places no limit
upon the amount of money to bo paid out
for ridding the city ot woede.
"Under the resolution the Hoard ot Pub
lic Worka could spend 125,000 It It cared
to. I havo faith in the Judgment ot the
board and do not believe that an excei
sivo amount would be expended. How
ever, It Is poor policy to pass such an In
definite measure.
"Ily a Judicious expenditure of $1,000 ths
central portion of the city can be trse
of w eeds. City Engineer Rose water be
lieves that a mowing macblno could be used
to good advantage and would greatly de
crease tho cost of weed cutting-. I am
not sure that a machine could' cut weeds
along walks. It would be nooeaarr for
the horses to bo driven over walks aad
damage might be done.
"I favor the old-fashioned plan of cutting
weeds and am anxious to have tho principal
streets freed of the groat growth of vegeta
tion as soon as posslhln. If we could spare
tho monoy It would be well to have weeds
cut In all parts of the city, but the present
condition of tbo troasury does not Justify
the expenditure of more than $1,000 for this
purpoFe.
"The chain gang is employed in weed
cutting and has done considerable work al
ready. Prlsonors will work under the di
rection of tho city during the entire sum
mer and should accomplish much in the
way of weed-cutting.
