President Rudolph Yechout of the board of education aald yesterday afternoon that a special meeting of the board would be held to settle the question of the expenses of the late election.

This, the council declined to do and President Yechout thinks that when the council learns the small sum it will be re sponsible for, it will come to the aid of the board and enable those who worked on election day to get their money. hoots Mot her-In -Law.

At 6:08 the observation will have reached Its maximum and a small piece will seem to have been cut off the sun's left side. This may be seen through a smoked glass or by punch ing a small hole In a cardboard and catch ing the solar Image on a piece of white paper.

Work on repavlng Burt street from Seventeenth to Twenty-second and putting it in passable condition, will be started by the city within a week or ten days, says City Engineer Craig. For more than eight months the street has been torn up, due to the laying of the Burt street . sewer. Though the work In this district haa been competed for months, no efforts have been made to replace the pavement Numerous complaints ha,ve been filed by property owners In the district and in many instances legal proceedings have been threatened. "We have been waiting for the dirt to settle," says Craig ov way of explanation for the delay. "Had we laid the pavement Immediately after the sewer was completed, the street would have settled and the pavement broken. ' Now that the ground has had ample time to pack, we will order the pavement replaced and the Btreet made clear for traffic."
