MISCELLANEOUS.
THE WESTERN ELEyATISG ASSOCIATION,
Spsetat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune
BUFFALO, May :S.-David S, Bennett, the pro-
prietor Of the Union and Bennett Elevators, to-
day said OF the trouble in the Western Eevatlng
Association: ~ am opposed to the present or
ganizadou OF the Association because do not
believe that 1t is arranged on sound basis. The
apporhonmcnt Of shares was nude when the
elevators bore vastly different relative value
than they now do. and, MS we ure nil selfish, we
are apt to think that our property should get Il
bigger percentage Of profits than others. This
leads to differences. 1t has in the past, and will
III future, unless some way Of settling 1t is
e:auizc under the State law, elect for Frcsi
dent who is unintercstcd in elevator property,
ply him good salary, and allow him to settle Ali
these matters, the superintendent OF shares to
be based upon the capacity and facilities OF the
elevators. This schcIne would prevent tho con-
tinual liability to jars that now exists, ind meet
with the approval Of all who are not now rccttv-
ing tnorc than their just dues. l think we shnIl
get on all right, and that this pInn will be
adopted. The number Of shares last year were
ttsv for storage elevators. and Sixty-cIght for
transfers, total OF i8'. One elevator OF Gu0,OD
oushcls capacity is given eighteen shares, while
one of only aoEO receives thirty"
