The next will reach the Pacific coast about April 4, cross the west of Rock- ies country by close of 5, great central valleys 6 to 8 and eastern states 9. "Warm wave will cross the west of Rockies country about April 4, great central valleys 6 and eastern states 8. Cool wave will cross the west of Roek- ies country about 7, great central wval- leys 0, and eastern states 10. Temperature and rainfall of the week ending 8a. m. Apri 10 will av- erage about normal. The first, second and fourth weeks in April will average about normal in rainfall and temperature, while the third week will be cold, with a largely increased precipitation. Don't forget that these weather events are expect- ed to occur a few days earlier west of the Mississippi and later east. The coldest part of April is expected to reach the Misssissippi river not far from the 17th. The heaviest rains will occur a few days before this Jow tem. perature wave as it moves across the continent from west (0 east. After this low temperature has passed east. ward the weather will rapidly change to warmer, and for about two weeks but little precipitation may be expect ed. The month "of April will average warmest in the great central valleys and coldest on the Pacific slope, while it will be about normal on the Atlan- tie slope. Rainfall for April will be about nor- Mississippi and on the Pacific slope, above normal between the Rockies and the Mississippi and in south At Iantie states, and below normal in New England states. The exceptions will be a little below normal in Texas and on the north Pacific coast. The most important weather fore. casts included a warm wave, followed “by & cold 1 durin he fa ten days of March, and mo REGULAR FEES ONLY. The Boro Treasurer Has Made no Ralse in, His Charges, The fees to which the boro treasurer shall be entitled as custodian of the public funds, is as yet a point to be set- tled, for the council and Treasurer (Goodbart have not yet arrived at a compromise. Last Wednesday evening the boro dads held a special meeting to consid- er the point. During 1898 the boro ex- pended over $8,000, and the boro treas- urer handed in his bill at 3 per cent for handling the funds. The eouncil asked the advice of their attorney, who informed them that they could allow whatever fee they saw fit; that the treasurer was illegally elected; that the law requires the council to elect the treasurer instead of leaving the people to fill the office, accordingly the coui- cil voted only one per cent. Farther light has been thrown on the controversy and there are many ramors afloat which should be set aright, Many were eager to condemn the present treasurer for attempting to take advantage of his office. His charges of 3 per cent. are only what was allowed the former treasurer, H, W. Kreamer, which can seen by any one consulting the auditor's re port for 1896 and 1887. Mr. Goodhart denies having entered into a contract with any one Lo serve at one per cent, He is willing to be sworn on this point in the face of what certain boro officials may charge. The councils’ allowance has not been accepted, aud the treasur- er may insist on allowed his charges, which the law permits, We are in receipt of the following from the treasurer, which we gladly allow in correction: Eilitor Reporler, March 27, 1800 — I noticed in your paper of last week that you had published au article about me that is not true. I want to see that you have it corrected in your paper this week. You said that Mr. Kreamer served the office of treasurer at Zpercent. I have the stalements of 1886 and 1897 and they show that he drew 3 per cent, and as to me hav- ing made an agreement with the coun. cil or anybody else to serve at 1 per cent, is not true. The first I knew of it was the evening of the auditor's meeting. J. M.
