V*ro|MMltion.
The plane and estimates for water
works and electric lights to be voted
on next Tuesday are now on file at the
Mayor’s office, where they may be ex
amined at pleasure by any citizen of
the town wishing to do so.
The engineer's estimate of the cost
of the proposed improvements is (31,
135.0') This does not include artesian
well and grounds, which it is estimated
will not cost at the outside figure, over
84.250.00. To this may be added 81,
700.00 for wiring aud piping residences,
etc., which it is proposed to do at pub
lic cost, and 91,500.00 additional for
printing, engineer’s salary, etc.—mak
ing the total cost of the improvements
completed 938,585.00, to be provided
for by a bond issue of 940,000.
On the other hand, F.ngineers Saun
ders A Porter, estimate the annual
revenues to be derived from the sys
tems as follows:
400 lights at 86.00 per year.84,800.00
LOO water taps at 12.00. 1,200.00
80,000.00
From this is to be subtracted 94,500
» year for operating expenses, leaving
the net revenue derived to be applied
to the payment of interest on bonds,
11500.00. This would not be enough
to pay the total annual interest of 82,
100.00. but it must be remembered that
property owners would save 25 per
sent reduction on their insurance
rates, by the increased security afford
ed against fire, which in the aggregate
will amount to fully 93,500.00 per an
num, and it must be further remember
ed, that the proposed improvements
would greatly enhance the value of all
realty in the city and increase the to
tal valuation several hundred thous
and dollars; so that it is more than
likely that the present rate of taxation
would very soon raise an amount suf
ficient to pay the interest on bonds
and at the same time lay by some
thing annually as a sinking fund.
By the city’s wiring and piping resi
dences, etc., though this has not been
definitely decided upon, it is calculat
ed that a greater number of citizens
will become patrons, and the charge
for lights aud water will be in the
nature of a rental on the city's invest
ment.
A representative of the insurance
companies is expected in Brookhaven
today to make the conditional pledges
of reduction in insurance, and it is un
derstood that if it becomes necessary,
the Board of Mayor aud Aldermen will
hold a call meeting and postpone the
election until satisfactory assurances
iu this regard are given to property
holders. This is a point that cannot
be too well guarded. However, if lib
eral discounts on preseut insurance
rates are assured, The Leader hopes
the vote next Tuesday in favor of the
progressive step proposed by our City
Fathers will be practically unanimous,
as it doubtless will.
THE MONTH OF HOSES.
May Is vailed the month of flowers, because
nuder tlie Increasing heat of the sun, vegetation
blossoms rapidly and lends its varied lines to
beautify the landscape.
During this month also there are usually dis.
turliauces in the human body. Winter diet, the
foul air of close rooms, insufficient exercise, have
left the system full of Impurities, which, under
tlie influence of warm weather manifest them
selves in biliousness, tired feelings, sallowness,
sluggish brain, nervousness. Indigestion, loss of
sleep. Tltese symptoms are only forerunners of
more serious diseases sure to follow, unless
measures are taken to purify and strengthen
tlte vital organs. At this season tlie cleansing,
regulating aud strengthening properties of
Prickly Ash Bitters are particularly appro
priate. It is four medicines iu one. A kidney
tonic, liver regulator, stomach stimulant and
bowel purifier. A few doses taken when tlie
annoying bilious symptoms appearwillstrength
en and tone up tlie system ami enable the hotly
to pass through the heat of summer unaffected
tiy the diseases common to tlie season. Sold by

L«t the Farmer* Send in Their Names.
Editor Leader : I think your re
quest to farmers who have made their
farms self-sustaining, i. e., hare made
their corn, meat, etc., to send in their
names for publication, a good one. I
hope all such will respond, that others
seeing their good works may be con
strained to follow therein. There are
many successful farmers In Lincoln
and Lawrence who, if they could be
induced to give their experience and a
synopsis of their farm management to
their less fortunate brethren, would
exert a power for good.
