Boatmen are hurrying their loads to tidewater as rapidly as pos sible. The canal closes next Friday at midnight. An electric s treet lamp is greatly needed In front of Miller, Hall & Il.artwellV shirt factory on Front-st. Alderm.an F.atrick should see to it. The large iiumher of operatives employed in that factory re quires this consideration. The Ballstun Spa Daily News was en larged for the .second time, last Saturday, by its enterprising editor and publisher, M. r . Morse, and now compares favoi'- ably with many city newspapers. The News is in its sixth year and exhibits many evidences o f prosperity. Our citizens generally are rejoicing over the pro-pect for the early comple tion of the electric street railroad, and they hope before many years to see a belt-line of trolley cars extend around the circle o f the town. I t is generally believed the electric car.®, lower fares and more frequent trips, will Increase the dividends of the street car company. The Park-ave, lift bridge is freiiuently hung up from 11 1 >. m . to il t. m . Physi cians and others who often drive about during the Might, are compelled to make the circuit of the town because they are not permitted to cross the lift bridge by state tenders who are paid to hoist the bridge for boats rather than lower the bridge for public travel. When boats are not passing, the bridge should he down, and the village trustee.s should in sist on it. as they have control of village highways. Superintendent Dougrey will be unable to appoint brl'.lge tenders next spring. Atloruey General Hancock last week Thursday morning gave ont two deci.sions in answer to inquiries as to whether in spectors of election are entitled to mile age or extra fee.s for carrying the returns to the county clerk, and as to rvliether the $2 per day is for the whole twelve hours. In the former case no extra com pensation is allowed, except where the returns are carried into another county, and in the litter the attorney general says the .$2 is for the day, with no reference CO the number of hours. This decision agrees with that rendered l>y Attorney General Tabor, and sulll-s the compen sation of inspectors of election at .S!2 per day, rather than Jjil per day as allowed by the town auditors. When the village water woiks ivere projected assurances were given by insur ance men that a reduction of rates would succeed the completion of the works. Instead, rates were adv.Aceed lasc Febru ary from ir> to 2r> per cent. This adv.suce was an outrage, and ought never to have been submitted to by\ the citizens of this village. Insurance rates are much le.ss in other places outside of Saratoga county, and even here, rates vai-y on tlie same class of tiro risks. A meeting of citizens has been advocated to fully investigate the matter of Insurance rates in this vil lage and other places, to that compari sons may he made and just rates he se cured. Tlie county “ combine\ auioiig in surance agents .supported more or less l>y the State “combine.\ is a tfust that ought to be overthrown. It is said that an ap peal will be made to the leiii.slatuiv, if re lief can be secured In no other way. The 1 pt.^-ting to imp agitation of this m atter indicab s a ’ healthy rebellion against excessive in surance rates. Let the iusuranee compan ies take less risks on “ wildcat\ property, aud they will have less losse.s to pay. First-class risks on other property o.an then be ail >rded at lower rates. Let a cnmmit‘ee o f clti/.ms be appointed.
