12. A meeting of the Village Board of Trustees with the Board of Water and Sewer Commissioners was held last evening for the purpose of Inquiring Into number of alleged i.Tegu-larttlea in regard to the coturwuctloo of the supplemental waterworks system for the vlllnge, which has now been completed. Engineer Wltuier, of the Ann employed by the trustees, Contractor Richardson and inspector White were present and were questioned rather closely regarding the construction of the new plant. It had been alleged that the contract had not lieen followed, and tbut In several ways the work had not been done ns specified. One of these ststemcnts was to the effect that the pipe across Silver creek, tho outlet of Silver lake, which dows Into the Genesee river at a point several mWes west of the village, was not even uuder ground.

Several of tbe trustees Investigated this rumor, and found the pip on tup of the bed of the creek, instead of two feet under the bed of the creek as the contract called for. Coutractor Klchanlsoa was asked why the pipe was not placed under the creek bed, and be replied so it Is understood, that the pipe was placed eiactly where Fngluecr Wltuier ordered It placed aud thut Inspector White had also been satisfied with the place where the pipe had been placed. It 1 also understood that the contractor stated that tbe pipe placed uuder tbe creek bed, although It might not have been down to a depth of two feet, and that If it was now on top of the ground It was because the water had washed the covering away. Engineer Wltuier, when asken regarding the matter, stated that he had told both Coutractor ltlcbardisn and inspector White that It would be necessary for the pipe to be laid beneath the creek tied, tmt. that In the event stone was found Iu any great quantity, It would not be necessary to go down the stipulated two feet.

He that he knew the willuge did not want to pay out any more money than was necessary for laying the pipe, and that if the pipe were laid a trench dug out of the solid stone, he was satisfied that It would be Just aa well aa though it were placed in the ground a depth of two feet He was positive that ha never told anyone that tt would be satisfactory to place th pipe on the top of the creek bed, and he also stated that It was not tbe place for the pipe to lis. Contractor ltlcharuson Is willing to lower the pipe, nt he also wants the village to pay the additional expense of doing the work, claiming that he ha fulfilled his part of the agreement and that the work has been perfei-tly sattHfactoa'y to the lnpee-tor. To pjtace the pipe uuder the bed of the ureek now It will be necessary to tear up the pipe Hue tor a considerable distance each side of the stream, so that the grade will be right, nd If there ts rock In th vicinity It will mesa quit an expense to someone, and at this time it Is uot clearly understood who thl will be. give up my work and take my for some time as there was no help for ma but to lie still.

NERVOUS CHILDREN There 1 much criticism of modern educational methods that require too much work of school children, allowing tlieiu too little time for piny and preventing sufficient out-of-door exercise. When the study of tiuisie or any other accomplishment, with the necessary practice, is added, the struiu ia increased.

these conditions the blood becomes Impoverished and fails to nourish the nerves. The child becomes restless, nnd twitching of the muscles follows. Sometime the child stumbles iu walking nnd drops what It tries to hold.
