DALLAS.
City Father WHO Served His City In a Triple
Capacity ard Drew a Salary for Each
Office Local Notes.

Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, Ten. Oct. 2.-The city coun-
Gil had, on last night, another meeting
that was full of interest. Among other
things Alderman Webster offered the
following resolution:
1t has been reported that city officials
have drawn pay not allowed by law, and
this casts reflection on the members of
this council which should not be toler-
ated without denial or explanation.
therefore ask your honorable body that
exoueration be had by instructing the
city secretary to produce instanter his
pay rolls of city officials for the months
of March, April, May, June and July,
1890, and the amounts drawn by said
officials for the same period.
The above resolution was adopted and
then the question arose as TO what
officials were referred to. Mr.. Webster
stated that the mayor pro tenn. (Mr.
Loeb) had received pay for his services
in that capacity during the absence of
Mayor Connor. Mayor Conner said he
had also received pay for the time that
Mr.. Loeb was mayor pro tenn. Alder
man Cole said that the mayors salary
was fixed at SO much year and that he
was entitled to it. He further stated
that there was another item paid the
mayor pro tenn. that there was no au-
thority for. He was allowed $50 a
month as chairman of the committee on
streets and bridges for clerical hire and
Mr.. Loeb had drawn the salary himself,
that this was contrary to the city charter
and subjects MIR. Loeb TO impeachment.
An examination of the records showed
that MIR. Loeb mad drawn salary as an
alderman, as mayor pro tenn. also $50 a
month as chairman of committee on
streets and bridges. 1t was further
found out that Alderman Klvlen, as
chairman of the water commissioners,
had received $50 a month. After much
argument a resolution was passed by
which the $50 month that was being
paid TO Mr.. Loeb and Mr.. kivlen be dis
continued in the future.
The following communication from
Messrs. Laing and Smoot was submitted:
DALLAS, Sept. 29.-Hon. W. c. Con-
nor, mayor, Dallas, Tex: Dear sir-ln
compliance with your request we concede
the following, to wit: We hereby agree
and consent that the city of Dallas may
pump water into the reservoir now in

Wheat Stocks,


Available wheat stocks, United States
and Canada, September 20, according to
Bradstreet's, aggregated "a ,446 $50
bushels, or 632 1876 bushels more than
one week previously. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that on Sep
TENDER l3 stocks at Kansas City were not
included IN the total reported to Brad
streets, SO that the net increase for the
week, excluding Kansas City, is only
Pei, 1919 bushels. This showing has
bulllsh cast 10 it, when viewed in the
light of an increase of 992 1881 bushels for
the week ending September IS. In
other words, the increased available
stocks last week were only trife more
than one-quarter as large as in the pre-
cedlng week.
AS noted in number of commercial
and other newspapers, ''the stock of
wheat now stored in private warehouses
has become so large that the (officiaD
visible supply statement, as basis of
calculation, is losing much of its value. -
This has been true at intervals for two or
three years past, but the press and pub
l c are only now beginning to realize it.
For Instance, last Saturday, out of the
total of "a ,446 500 bushels of available
wheat reported to Bradstreets, fully
$3.50 200 bushels were not in what are
referred to as official warehouses;
Hence no notice is taken of it by official
reporters. And the possible switching of
more or less of this nom official wheat
from nom official to Official warehouses
oftentimes explains heavy changes in the
visible supply statement which have been
interpreted by the trade quite differently
and have been made unnecessarily to
affect prices. In brief, if a visible sup
ply, .,Atategaspt, or an available supply
ssfasefnent, is not made to include ap-
proximately all of the wheat hanging
over the market at principal points of
accumulation, such report is worse than
worthless-it is likely to be, and often
is, misleading.

After some debate it was decided not
to turn the water in the reservoir until
after consulting Engineer Cook had ln-
vestigated the matter Mr.. Cook has
been telegraped for and will probably be
