Beach frequently went down to the dock, made himself at home about the office, went out sailing with Mr. McQuhae. and used his boats at pleasure.

One had been cashed by Francis & Co.. the clothiers. where Beach bought an outing shirt last Satur- day night, giving the check in payment and receiving the change. after being identified by Landlord Shepard, of the Old Well Hotel. where he had been boarding. The other check was cashed by Donovan & Co.. the same night. Six blank checks are missing from the back of Mr. McQuhae's check-book. They were undoubtedly stolen by Beach last Saturday while he was loitering about the office. The stnb of the last check Mr. MoQuhae had used was dated July 26, and the number of it was 205. _ The forged checks were numbered 206 and 207. and both were dated July 24 Beach had evidently made himself fa— miliar with Mr. McQuhae’ a signature and knew the drawer where he kept his check-book. . Last night A. D. Buzzard, who has been employed by the company. met Mr. McQuhas on the street and inquired if he had seen anything of Beach for the past day or two. Receiving a negative reply Mr. Buzzard suggested that they go to the Old Well Hotel and see if he was there. Here Mr. McQuhas learned about the check Beach passed at Francis & Co's, and that he had not been seen about the hotel since Monday. An ex- amination of his room showud that he had gone. bag and baggage, owing a week's board bill. The police were notified of the forger- ies. and sent out a description of Beach. It was learned that he went east. and it is believed that he will eventually be captured. Francis 6r Co. and Donovan 6r Co. have made good to Mr. Mchhae the amount of the forged checks. and the bank is on the lookout for other checks which it ll feared Beach has passed.

L m was not seen. having returned to flan- cock. Vt; Nelson Taylor was present to speak for himself. . Mr. Taylor said the question, as put to of Crescent Terrace would be willing to contribute toward the rebuilding of the wall. He would do so. and thought the others would; but when the question came as to what was a fair share. there would be a vast did'erencc of opinion. He thought it should be stated bythe Council how this was to be divid’ ed and how it was arrived at. If it was the duty of the city tobnildthe wall. then the owners would not be called on or be obliged to pay anything. There never was anything that tended to show that there was any responsi- bility on the part of the pmputy. owners in the matter. The impnuion seemed to prevail. he said, that “relate General Taylor had displayed a grad deal of sagacity and foresight in doing what some people claim was saddling the Terrace wall on the city. Such was not the case, and people who say so gave altogether too much credit to Mr. Taylor's business fact. The facts were. he said, that thcqucstiou of main- taining the wall never once entered into ' the mind of either Mr. Taylor orths olmncii at that time. When thewall Was built and the rugged side hill con- verted into residence lots. the question of encroachment on the highway was : raised by some. The owner of the pan- perty stated that he intended to have a l sidewalk on top of the wall which ., would be for public use at all times. The Council was in a somewhat angry attitude. and the owners” "say so" was not sufficient guar- antee that this would be carried out. So. in order to giveaclear titleto the property. a deed was insisted on. use was given to the city by the owner. - and the assessment of benefits and dain- ages made equal on both sides of the . strwt. The city had. by its own voluntarily assumed the control maintenance of the wall. When the city now undertakes. very naturally. to avoid the consequences of its own set and to throw on others a burden. as it is possible for the city to use its power. then he should say that the power was not properly used. A very serious coa- sideratlon of this question would be damages due the pronertymwncrs if the line was changed and the wall done away with. Mr. Taylor thought Iiat . the proper way would be to take the ball by the horns and make an rotation sufficient to build the wall in a thorough manner; take it to unity trust. mg. and if the citimis did not wish to manure the responsibility. as they once below missed in do. than the blame would rest on them. Attorney Light statml that when the street was insured. and for several years afterward. it was the policy of the city to make property-owners grade their sidewalk to the street. This was all changed by a decision of tits 8am . l‘ouf'tih that. "All stated at a pro. vfous meeting." Mr. Light said. "tho only policy is for the city to rebuild the wall. if it is the desire of the CM] t to get a decision of the Submits Court on the matter. this could be dons at a small expense to the city. slid “I“ it would be known whose duty it is to allautntu the wall." ‘ ihmnciltaan Hatch wanted to “w whither. if the portion of the wall may down was repaired. it would “this the any intake on signs down and open them.

He said Mrs. Dudley was en titled to the abatement.“ she was a soldier's widow. but that the Board of Relief had overlmkcd the matter. There was some doubt among the councilman as totheir powertoabate the tax, and Councilman Tristram withdrew the resolution and moved that the matter be left with the corporation counsel to in- vestigate and report at the neat meet ing. _ Councilman Smith reported that the Tramway company had gone over its roadbed and made all the necessary repairs within the city limits. He said the overhead work had not been com- pleted at the corner of East and West- port avenues because of a disagreement between the two companies; but that the work would be completed as soon as practicable. lie also reported that the Tramway mmpany would meet half of the espouse of , paving at the foot of Beldeu avenue. as the condition of the street at that point was caused partly by the tracks being laid considerably above the surface of the road. in regard to the matter of sprinkling the stmsts in a manner similar to that csuiploysd by the Street Railway com- pany in sprinkling its tracks.
