OLD BILLS AGAINST THE ' CITY
DISPOSED OF.
Various Matters Come Up at Mid
Week Session Last Evening.
At last night's meeting of the com
missioners and the manager some of
the old tilings that have been hang
ing fire for a number of months, some
almost a year, were disposed of. One
of the chief items was the- bill of
the Warren Construction company for
their work on the Second street sub
way. The attorney for the company,
Mr. Huntington, has been in the city
for a number of days conferring with
the city manager relative to the bill.
The old council approved-the, bill,
amounting to $664.40, and ordered
it paid. ' However, the chairman of
the finance; committee, Mr. Haisten,
at the time .wrote his disapproval
on the margin of it. This proved
somewhat, of a bugbear to the bill
which 'was passed over to the com
missioners for settlement. Some dis
agreement 4nrose concerning the
25 cents to other. According to the i phone. line to Beaver creek, intake. .

About Its Strength.
What Is dripping?
Everybody -kuows tbut dripping Is
supposed to be the Juices, the savory
essences, that fall from roasting meats.
Tbut Is the supposition. But wbat
renlly Is dripping the dripping that
the poor of England buy by the pound
and smear upon tbeir bread In lieu (
butter?
The question perhnpe. trill never be
answered, but a partial solution is
given to It by the fact that a London
poorhouse recently bought at $7 a ta
thirty-two tons of dripping from a
