Neither exjiense trouble nor indi vidual preferences will l>o allowed to stand in the way of the improve ments of our town. The engineer ing department of the city has set for itself a very high standard. Nothing is to good and we are to have the best. 1t has l»een decided to do away with all the rustic bridges and the last one is doomed. The foolish sen timental idea of catering to so called artistic taste is to be abandoned and the permanent and useful alone is to be considered The outlet of the Lake iiito the Lilly Pond tQ be dammed and the bridge to lie super seded by a sewer pipe so as to dry up the Pond Lillles that would per sist in growing for the amusement of enthusiastic voung people. Then it has been thought wise to secure the discontinuence of rowing under the bridge and collecting toll by the young folks. It is true that some of them may complain but that is to be expected, and it is said that we have no business to be young and senti mental anyhow, tlwt the old people have lieen through it all and know all about it and pronounce it all fi>ol ishness. Your correspondent pre fers a little foolishness and paying toll. Beside all this what a grand im provement it will l>e to the people on the porches of t'restinont to get rid of Sunrise Hay and have a piece ofj solid laud in uniformity with the i miles and miles of similar land to I be seen in the sweep of the eyes from that elevation. Then how much more interesting it will be to have a tlam-sewerpipe than two er three rustic bridges in the foreground furnishing a practice place for sketching classes and kodak Hentls. Who knows but thatjtheengineering skill of the work may strike some of our exjierienced civil engineer visi- ' tors and lead to the establishment of 1 a Polytechnic Institute at Kagles Mere. Let the council hurry down with the bridges and get in the sew erpipe-dam before any of the fanat ics get here to protest. The beautifnl effects of the dam might be extended all around the Lake, and would strike every one as a decidedly novel attraction. the good work goon. The IjandC'o. in the persons of J. it. T. Ryan, Wm. Emery and l)e --witt Bodine made there annual spring visit on Friday to look over the ground and the Lake and lay out a svetem of liberal expenditures for the seaaon as they always do about this time in the year. They have not yet advised your correspondent just what is to be done as conclusions have not been reached. Of coarse they will desire to advise the read ers of the Item of all that is iu con templation after it is fully decided. Mr. Kirk and his family have ar rived and are setting things to rights for that peculiar, homelike charm that Lakeside always has had for its guests that brings them here year af ter year in an ever increasing cllen tage. It is expected thatan early meet ing will be called of"The Eagles liuprovment League" to take act ion on an invasion of its preroga tives in a very peculiar and intoler able manner. It has charge of all tj nest ions of improvement and devel opment in and around this city and, while it is true that during the two or three years of its life it has not yet j been able to do anything but meet | in solemn conslave and "reaoloot", | it is out of all reason that after itj lias talked aliout sidewalks and not' yet issued its ultimatum, an attract- 1 ive little business woman just con cluded that she wanted a sidewalk, so she prepared a petition, went ' around and obtained the necessary signers, pr sen ted the petition to co incil and now has hex sidewalk. It is simply an outrage that such j presumption should bo tolerate*! j within the territory of"The Business J.ui Improvement League" unci of all things that It should Ik* done by a woman and n little woman at that. Tin* indignation is irrepressible. A mooting of the League will bo helii immediately and it will "resoloot" ami have that sidewalk removed j forthwith until they ean go through the proper form to permit it to le put down again. The Ijeague lias its eyes on some other sidewalk bus iness but it will move with dignity and conservatism, audit trusts that no one else will make the blunder of I interfering with any more improve-1 ments until they have submitted ! their plans to the "League. Wo have just heard that ropre-; sentatives of the Geyelin estate have j taken some action against the ox ton sioii of the new railroad over their property without first asking their permission. We cannot vouch for the correctness of the report but it is said that the action takes the form of an injunction and suit for tress-, pass. It seems very strange that | they should suppose that it was at all necessary for the railroad people to call on them before using their property. They evidently do not j understand the situation of such j matters in this locality. Miss Bornico Burkholder is quite] ill at this writing. Mrs. W. H.
