Chance to Secure Public Work.

New York, 1895

The Supervisors committee on County Clerk's and Surrogate's offices, Messrs. Everitt, Pople and Underhill has decided to put a system of hot water heating in the building and bids for the work will be received by either of the Supervisors up to 10 o'clock on the morning of July 10, when the bids will be opened, at the County Clerk's office. See advertisement in THE FARMER.

The committee has also decided to do some painting and kalsomining in the County Clerk's and Surrogate's offices, and bids will be received for the work up to 10 o'clock in the morning of June 27th, at the County Clerk's office. See advertisement in THE FARMER.


A Restriction Removed.

The order recently made by Judge Cullen relative to the sale of two houses in Jamaica owned by Mary A. Johnson, a lunatic, contained the provision that the Fulton street house must not be sold for less than $4,000 and the cottage in Washington street for not less than $1,500. John O'Donnell, who has charge of the property, considered that the restriction was prejudicial to the sale. Represented by Counselor Fleming, he moved that the order be relieved of the restriction. Judge Cullen granted the motion.


Mr. McCormick Asked to Stay.

At a meeting of the board of managers of the Jamaica normal school on Friday, the members unanimously requested Hon. Richard C. McCormick to reconsider his resignation. According to a new law, the plans for the school building have now to be submitted to the members of the new capital commission.


Out of Old Yale With Honors.
