devoid of interest to many of the alder
men. The regular routine was passed
rapidly over by the city clerk and the
budget of bills and pay rolls for the
month of November, amounting to s14l,

city fathers were aroused from the
lethargy into which they had sunk, was
when the report of the committee on
roads and bridges was read recommend
ing that the city should abandon the
opening of Thirty-fOurth street, from
Irving avenue to Lake Calhoun bOule-

commit the report to the committee and
gave as his reason that Aid. Warren,

the street, had not been present when

NO MONEY FOR THEM.

Men Are Suffering Because the
City Won't Pay Their Wages.
"Any money to-dayr'
"No, sir; nothing yet"
The above conversation took place
in the cOmptroller's Office in the city
hall yesterday. The first speaker was
a man whose hands were hardened by
honest toll. His coat was threadbare
and there was pinched look about his
face that plainly told of want. AS
Comptroller Calderw0od answered him
the man turned away, but paused long
enough to ask, "Shall come in to-mOr-
row." Mr.. CalderwOOd replied that the
council might do something, but he
could not hold out any hopes of relief
from that quarter.
"WhO was that man?" replied q
GLOBE reporter after the visitor had
left the Office.
"That is only one of twenty cases we
have every day." replied the comp
troller. land it's an outrage that they
have been treated the way they have"
"What do You mean?"
"Well. the story is just this. Over i'm
the First ward the aldermen have been
running things to suit themselves.
They have expended every dollar in the
ward treasury, and, after all the money
was gone, they kept men at work. Now
the men cannot get their wages and
there is no telling how mucn misery it
has caused. | notified the aldermen of
the First ward to 90 slow. bat they paid
10 attention whatever to me. Now
the men are coming to this Office every
day for their money, but | cannot pay
them. | tell you, it's pretty hard to
have to turn them away, but l haven't
a cent in any of the FUNDS l can give
them"
Aid. Brueshaber. of the First ward,
was asked if il was true that men who
had been employed on city work in his
ward were in destitute circumstances
on account of their failure to receive
the wages due them. He replied:
''SOme of the men, and guess most of
them, are pretty hard up. But it isn't
through any fault of the aldermen. We
have done everything we could. The
men wanted work and we had to give it
to them. The taxpayers wanted Second

ell had put in curb and gutter. but
they were two feet underground. When
ever rainStOrm came the city was
threatened with numerous suits for

siOner to grade it. We knew when the
work was commenced that there was
no money in the ward treasury 10
pay for it, but Aid. McGOwan
and both saw an easy way out of tine
difficulty. We had been caught the
same way last spring, but pulled out all
right. At that time McGowen and
borrowed the money on our personal
notes and paid the men. and when the
council made the appropriation to the
ward fund we got the money back. We
expected to do the same thing this time.
but some of the taxpayers kicked and
threatened to get out ali injunction re-
straining the city treasurer from return
ing the money to ns. That is the reason

their money they will receive not only
the thanks but the hearty congratulate

MINNEAPOLIS MORTGAGES.
More Capital Comcs--LOwerR Rates
of Interest.

More Capital Comes--LOwer Rates
OF Interest.
The larger share of the wealth and
material resources of community is
bound up in land. During the early
periods of a city's growth it is necessary
that large sums of money be borrowed
from nonresident capitalists upon real
estate securities, the basis of which is
the land titles. Safety in titles is
thus a matter of immense economic sig
niticance, because it assures ease of
transfer, permanence of vaiues and low
rates of interest. With all the improved
methods of record searches, innocent
investors have often been confronted
with liens and claims prior to their own.
Besides. the public records provide no
safeguard against frauG, misrepresenta-
ton and the like, and often throw the
examiner off his inquiry into such, by
Eiaking the chain appear complete.
These conditions apply to titles in all
cities, and have commanded the earnest
thought of conveyancers and investors
during the whole history of land trans
fers. They have given rise to new and
sorely needed form of insurance, which
has entered upon one of the most hon
Orabe and legitimate fields of business.
We allude to title insurance companies,
now In successful operation in the prin-
cIpal cities of the United States, which
carry the risks we have alluded to.
With her characteristic enterprise,
Minneapolis was the first city west of
Philadelphia to offer to her investors
this valuable security. The Minnesota
Title Insurance and Trust company was
organized in 1885, with subscribed
capital of $500, 900, of which $375,O00 has
been paid in. 1t has a guaranty fund
of $500, deposited with the state au
ditor. The liability of its SO 'kholders
is twice the face of their stock, so that
gross liability of Sl,0O0,000 is behind its
title policies, with the present sub
scribed capital. 1t has authority to in
crease its capital TO S2,OO0.000. Its
stockholders, numbering l25. include
MANY of our best known capitalists and
business men and considerable num-
Der of Eastern parties. The eighteen
directors are well known business men
of this city. The charges for insurance
are reasonable, and by the terms of the
policy the holder is insured against loss
and is entitled to defense Of his title
if it he assailed.
The public is to be congratulated upon
the facilities offered for the safe, ex-
peditious and inexpensive transfer OF
land and mortgage Investments.

CAPT. HARVEY AGAIN.
He Relieves a Prisoner Of Money
Which the CITY Must Paw.

At the last meeting of the council
claim was made by Edward Wickstrom
on the city for sS2.l2 and the value of
two silver watches, which WickstrOm
alleged was taken from him by Police
Captain Harvey at the central station.
The matter was referred to the city at
tOrney for investigation. In his report
to the council thai official said that the
records at the lookup showed that on
Aug. Z, 1889, Edward WickstrO.n was
confined and supposed 10 be insane. At
the time of his arrest 49,. II were taken
from him by Capt. Harvey, who was
then in charge of the station. There
was no record of any watches being
taken. In his opinion the city was liza
BILE for the money which was taken by
Harvey while acting in the capacity of
policeman employed by the city. and
recon- mended that warrant be drawn
on the city treasurer in favor of Wick
strom for $S?.12 The recommendation
OF the city attorney was adopted. and
the proper city officers were directed to
draw the warrant.
