TO ISSUE
ALDERMEN DESIRE TEEM FOR
STREET PURPOSES.
ELECTION ASKED FOR
The Sew Charter Provides That the
Tax Collector Shall he Elected by the
. Board of Aldermen Instead of as at
Present. Water' Commission Crc
ated. The New Charter.
The Salisbury aldermen realize
the importance of good sidewalks
and well macadamized roads and
have sounded the keynote to the
onward march of the progressive
Salisbury that all enterprising cit
izens wish our city to be.
At a meeting of the board last
night the various proposed fea
tures of the new charter were
gone over and it was decided
among other things to ask the leg
islature to give the board authori
ty to call an election for the pur
pose of voting on the issuance of
$100,000 of bonds for street im
provements. If the election is
ordered it will be held this Spring,
probubly, perhaps at the regular
city election. It was also decided
to restore to the board of aldermen
the right to elect the city tax col
lector, who is at present elected
by the popular vote.
A water commission, whose du
ty it will be to control and direct
the affairs of the water works sys
tem, is created and is to consist of
four members, the mayor to be
ex-officio chairman and to have a
vote only in case of a tie. Of this
commission two will be appointed
for two years and two for four
years. At the expiration of these
terms they will be elected by the
aldermen.
The question of electing the al
dermen for different terms came
up but no agreement was reached.
No action was taken in regard
to the purchase of 'another team
for the city. ,

the gates of Windsor Castle park
and reached St. George's chapel
to which the body was carried at

is fully half a mile. The gate at
Windsor Park divided the route,
leaving only a bare quarter of a
mile open to the public. Here,, at

Christian Reid's Protest at the Degra
dation of the Day. -
The Sun received today the
following communication which it
publishes with pleasure:
Editors Sun Since it has been
the custom of your paper (togeth
er with many others) for several
years past to speak of today as
ground-hog day," I wish toenler
a protest against this barbarrshiiN'The procession moved- punctually
For it is surely a barbarism to
desrrade into sole connection with
a Vulgar superstition, one ol the
loveliest f easta of the Christian
year, lins Jbeastol tne Jfur loca
tion of the Blessed Virgin not only
commemorates the purification (in
compliance with the law of Moses)
of the Mother of God, but also the
formal presentation in the temple
of Him who was the Light of the
World. Hence, with that heauti-
ful and poetical significance which
is the soul of nil her ceremonies,
the Catholic church at the Mass of
this day blesses the candles which
are to be usea tnrougnout tne
year in the seryices, and when the
ritual is fully carried out, there
is a procession oi priest ana peo
ple bearing lights, j From this
comes the ancient name of Candle
masa more respectable name
than "ground-hog day" to apply
to a feast so full of the most beau
tiful and touching memories and
thoughts. Chrirtian Reid.

thirty two thousand police. The
procession passed Buckingham
palace at 11:55 on its way to Pad-
dington station, whence the body
will be conveyed to Windsor.-
