j. German was the contractor who graded
Thirty-fourth street. from Chicago avenue to
Lake Calhoun, when Randolph Burgess was
preparing to build the West Minneapolis

that there was scheme on foot to rob the
wards in which the grading was done, through
collecting pay for the work from the city

on union OF the two cites The letter from
Stone suggested the appointment of like
committee by the Minneapolis board of trade.
j. NJ. Bartlett wanted the matter referred to
the committee on legislation. DR.. o. j.
Evans moved its reference to a special COM
mittee of five, with instructions TO report at
the next meeting of the board. Then Maj.
j. 3. BaSSett Strengthened out the kinks in
his form. arose and said:
If this measure has any friends let them
point out the advantages which will accrue
as result or this umon- Let them show US
whereby we can improve our advantages.
Why not appoint committee favorable to a
union: Such a committee could point out TO
Us the unreasonable benefits which would
accrue by taking this step. If the report is
favorable then take the matter into consider
alton. We have built a new court house and
city hall. Let this committee point out the
feasibility of moving that building 10 point
where it will be convenient TO both cities.
The majors voice and facial expression
were so hard that no one ventured to say
word on the subject. Then President Mel
son appointed DR.. o. j. Evans. L. b. Walker,
J. I. Wyman. Aid. C. P. Lowell AID j. NJ.

E. j. Phelps brought up the matter Of in

ell each appoint a committee to 90 to 81.
Paul TO attend the meeting to be held Aug
IL, to discuss ways and means for raising
Sl09,O00 i'll addition TO The appropriation.
Little interest seemed to be taken in this
after the union matter had doomed up so big.
Again Mai. Bassett doomed up. He closed
the discussion with this:
DO these people want to go down TO St
Paul and make arrangements so that 100000
can be filched out of the people of this state
Certain gentlemen who possibly have their
own private interests at heart want 10 spend
this money, thinking that the next Ieglslat-
ure will raise the tax 10 reimburse them,
placing this money in the hands of certain
parties Ostensibly-and perhaps i'll reality-to
advance the interests of the worlds fair
understand that the commissioners have
some plan on foot to raise this money In
less they diYulge that plan I am not in favor
of the appointment Of a committee TO go
down there and authorize the expenditure OF
such a sum of money"
But Bassett didn't prevail. He was even
made one OF a committee on the question,
together with E. J. Phelps. A. NJ. Allen, Mel
son Williams and c. c. CurtisS.

THE PUBLIC SMILES.
Insurance Agents Again in the
Midst of a Quarrel.


There is more rich, warm-tinted war in the
ranks Of the insurance agents of Minneapo-
lis. a few weeks ago the firm of Mart y.
Hit q Co. withdrew from the Underwriters
union. Now the union has declared war on
Hit & Co. The manner of fighting which
the union has adopted is shown by this ex-
tract from an evening paper:
a circular TO the insurance public issued
few days ago says that Martin Hit with
with the treasurer of the Underwater
association under the preteXt that ne
wanted TO draw the interest upon it He
failed TO return the deposit and his failure
to do so meant his expulsion. The circular
is signed by o. NJ. Laraway and about ten
other insurance agents, and asks that no in

Mr.. Hits principal companies, upon the
ground that they could not consent to main

as he was not member Of the Underwriters

''All of which is untrue said Mr.. Hit,

simply asked for it. Leach went TO the
safety deposit vaults and brought the check
TO Hits office.
LAS for our withdrawal from the union,
Mr.. Hit continued. I'VE did it because. in
our opinion, certain officers of the union
are corrupt. While We were in the union
