1 ne worst storm lor many a year
began last .Monday, and for a
whole day car service was suspend
ed. No mails were received for
two days and the stores and rcsi
deuces went back to coal oil lamps
tor ligut. 1 lie cause ot the uisord
er was the coating of the electric

causing them to break under the
strain of their heavy load, While
no heavy damage was done in this
city it amounts to several hundred
thousand dollars in Portland.
The suggestions made in The
Review last week in regard to an
ordinance regulating all plumbing
work to be done in St. Johns have
been approved by many property
owners. As long as a plumber, or
any other mechanic for that matter,
knows that he can do slip-shod
work and get a first-class price
for it he will do it. When there is
a law describing the manner in
which such work shall be done
everybody is guaranteed a good job.
Go after the plumbing ordinance,
gentlemen of the couucil, and pass
it.
A stick of giant powder found on
the right of way of the electric line
near Peninsular station last Friday
morning was the cause of several
columns of sensational matter in
the Portland dailies. It was alleged
that the explosive was placed on
the track by one of the striking
street car men with the intention of
killing or maiming a motorman.
A street car employe who has been
on the line for a number of years
expresses the opinion that the stick
of giaut powder was accidentally
dropped on the right of way by
some one engaged in blowing out
the stumps on the lots now being
cleared along the right of way. The
iucident served as a topic for many
wild stories, but the general public
do not believe the strikers so blood
thirsty as to resort to such a diabol
ical plan to gain their end,

flexl. At present the service is
awful.
