IMPORTANT PETITIONS.
But the Railroad Committee Took
No Action Upon Them.

But the Railroad Committee Took
No Action Upon Them.
There was good deal of important
business before the council railroad COM
mittee yesterday. Property owners Oh
Fifteenth avenue south sent in long
communication. 1t was an emphatic
protest against the permanent Occupa-
ton OF Fifteenth avenue south by the
street railway company. The reasons
for the protest are, according to the pc
tltiOn, that the street railway company
assured the property owners that the
present track was only temporary. 1t
IS further urged that Fifteenth avenue
south is too narrow TO accommodate the
tracks without mountaineering traffic.
The residents think the presence of the
car line depreciateS the value of their
homes. The committee is asked to rec
Ommend that the tracks be removed at
the date Of the intended change to an
electric line. The Burlington road pc
titioned for consent of the council for
the change in the plans of the North
side crossing bridges. The street rail
way company asked for an extension of
time in building several East side car
lines until sewer work is completed.
None of these petitioners were repre-
sented. so their petitions went over.
And that was all the business before the
committee

FATHER SHERMAN TALKS.
He Will Advise His Sisters to Ac.
cept the Fund.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 21.-In a pub
lished interview this morning with
Father Sherman regarding the action of
some of his fathers friends in raising a
fund for the Misses Sherman, he says
that he is sorry the matter has crept
into the newspapers. as they may re-
fuse to accept. lie would counsel his
sisters to accept the fund, as the
money is not given as a char
ity, but simply as a testimonial of
their regard for the general. About
the report that he was to prepare a
biography of Gen. Sherman. the pro-
cveds of which would go to him, Father
Sherman says: lam not going to pre-
pare a biography of my father. l did
prepare and edit a cheap edition of
fathers own work on the war, because
a cheap work of that character would
find its way to many homes. especially
among the members of the Grand Army
of the Republic, where the s. edition
would not sell. Ny brother Tecumseh
has fathers private papers and all
those OF public interest will doubtless
be published in the Century magazine
after time. My brother will have
charge Of that work.

SEWER DIGGING MACHINES.
More of the Same Old Fight
HaZen Wants More Sewers.

More of the Same Old Fight
HaZen Wants More Sewers
The council committee on sewers
wasted several thousand words yester-
day afternoon without accomplishing
much of anything. Themost prolonged
discussion was over the matter of eX-
cavating and hosting machines. The
proprietors of both the White and
Green machines submitted propositions
exactly alike. Six dollars per day is
the price. There is evidently COM
binatiOn between the two companies.
Their two propositions were drawn by
the same man. The Green people, how
ever, supplemented their prop
OsitiOn with a communication set
ting forth the advantages of
their machine over the White
The Green machine is a self bumper.
Two men are required to do the dump
ing for the White. This means an
additional cost to the city of $3.50 per
day. The committee was willing to
make an even division of the work be-
tween the two companies. provided the
White people will provide their own
bumpers. This matter has been fought
over for four consecutive years. 1t
isn't settled yet. The committee adj
iourned until 10 O'Clock next Friday
morning. The interested parties are
requested to appear before them at
that time.
P. D. Mcmillan petitioned to be re-
leased from the obligation of making
sewer connections on his property at
Sixteenth avenue northeast and Cen
trail avenue. The ordinance requires
that every lot shall be connected with a
sewer as soon as the sewer is built. In
the case of tenement rows or big busi-
ness blocks one connection has been
allowed TO do service for several lots.
McMillap's property is now occupied by
a lumber yard. He will probably d.
vide it into small lots when the proper
time comes. Hence the committee re-
ferred the matter to the city attorney.

Money Due the State.

John w. Coons. Deputy Auditor of State
under Bruce Carr, left for Washington last
night, to do a little figuring on that $50. 600
retained by the government when the d.
rect war tax money was paid, the claim
being that SAC. 600 from this Juno had been
paid over TO the State years ago.
Governor Hovey is satisfied that Indiana
never received the SAC. 600 in dispute and
the government officials are equally conf
dent that the records show TO the contrary.
The Secretary of the Treasury Is anxious
to see Indiana demonstrate her right TO the
amount. and will afford Captain Coons
every opportunity possible to get at the
facts. The latter is deputlzed by the Gov
ernor TO act as agent for the State in this
matter. and if it Is possible for any one to
straighten il out be will do it.
