Careless Advertising For Bids Not

Yesterday afternoon the committee on

In advertising for these bids the city
engineer again put his foot in it by
wording the specifications to suit him
self. Instead of calling for bids on both
single and double strength, bids on
single strength alone were advertised
for. Some of the bidders had been given
10 uHuCISlduu privately, IL Is sald, tnat
they might bid on either single OF double
strength. AS result only one bid on
single-Strength pipe, strictly in accord
ance with the Specifications, was re-
ceived, that OF NJ. A. and S. &. Glow.
The committee had before 1t the exam
pie OF the paving committee III receiving
bids Oh curb. All the bids on sewer
pipe except CLOVIS were rejected, as
not being according to specifications,
and that firm will receive the contract.
They were the lowest bidders anyhow.

sEGELBAUM'S OPENING,
The Easter Display of Millinery
Both Brilliant and PrOfuse.

Segelbaum's spring opening is an an
nual event of great interest to the fair
sex, and yesterday the great store at
the corner of Nicollet avenue and Third
street was thronged with customers
from morning to night. The Easter dis
play of millinery was the especial at
traction. Possibly In other years the
coming of Easter may have resulted in
a similar profusion of novelties, but it
seems as if the Segelbaums have fairly
Outdone themselves this year. The dis
play of imported hats and bonnets,
dainty Partisan designs, the latest man
dates of Dame Fashion in the way of
spring straWs, etc., is certainly remark
able, while the exhibition of artificial
flowers would fairly rival the resources
of horticultural fair, and give the rain
bow points in variety of colors. Yes
terday souvenirs were distributed, and
the pretty reception room on the second
floor was visited by hundreds or ladies.
The annual opening included other de-
partments of the store as well, and spe-
cial bargains were offered in each, while
the entire establishment is vested in
bright regalia IN honor OF the coming of
spring.

RAILROAD BUSINESS.

Several Matters of Some Conse-
quence Before the Council Com
mittee.
At yesterdays meeting Of the council
committee on railroads petition was
received from East siders relative to the
car tracks on Central avenue. That street
has recently been widened from sixty
six to eighty-three feet between Harrison
street and Eighteenth avenue northeast.
The car tracks are in the center of the
old street. The property owners want
them moved to the center Of the street
as it now stands. The committee will
SO recommend.
Apetition was received asking for car
line on Broadway from Second street to
Main street northeast, on Main street
from Broadway to Fourteenth avenue
northeast, on Fourteenth avenue north
east from Main to Grand street and on
Grand street from Fourteenth avenue
northeast to Twenty-seventh avenue
northeast. The petition will not be
granted. An electric line over a slight
ly different route but in the same sec
ton of the city has already been or
dered.
The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Omaha Railroad company asked that
an ordinance be passed granting them
the right to use River street for railway
tracks. The railway company has oc
cupied that street for years. but with
out an ordinance in force confirming
their right to occupancy. The commit
tee decided TO defer action until it re-
ceiveS more light on the subject. The
petition from the Great Northern, re-
QueSting the annullment of the ordl-
nance governing the speed of trains on
Fourth avenue north. was denied. The
bridges will soon be built, and the ordi-
nance will then become imperative. 1t
has never been enforced.

advertise for bids on 100000 feet Of
lumber for the city. This is nearly
double the amount used last year. The
men in the city engineers office are not
in favor of letting the contract for the
city's tlumber. Assistant City Engineer
Huntress says:
1.-The city would do better to buy it's
lumber in the open market. l have
taken notice that when we have adver-
tised for bids and secured contract
that we have not Jared as well. The
service has not been prompt and the
price no cheaper. No one Iirm can
furnish the lumber required by the city
as fast as it is needed. For Instance,
when we use on an average of 10000
feet of lumber day for sidewalks a
single firm cannot deliver that amount.
On the other hand if we purchase the
lumber in the open market not only can
several firms furnish the lumber and
thus secure its sure and prompt de-
livery, but the city can get a reduction
of the price,"
Mr.. Huntress may be right In so far
as the delivery of the lumber is con
cerned. 1t is pretty certain that he is
wrong on the matter of price. When
the city buys lumber OH the open mar
ket it pays the market price. Buyers of
large quantities of lumber get it
city officials who use q good deal of
lumber confidently assert that they buy

city at lower price,

Various Heirs Bring Actions to
Recover Fees.
The countywill probably be compelled
to pay out a goodly share of money in a
short time at the Instigation of several
heirs to estates, who have brought suits
against the board of county commission
erS to reclaim large amounts of mouey
paid in through the probate court under
the laws of a previous date to 1885. The
parties are Louis W. McNair, for 5000:
Julia G. Pearson, for $500; and two on
notes of issue made by other parties.
The last will be made OH the action of
E. l.. Perkins, administrator of the es-
tate of Annie L. Perkins.
The matters came up in a bunch
through chain OF circumstances. Back
in 1886 the Harrison estate was entered
for probate, property valued at over
81 100000. The court ordered that the
administrator pay into the county treas
ury $1,000 as fees, which was avoided by
a petition to allow the distribution with
out the amount. This the court refused
to allow. The money was, therefore,
paid in, and afterward a suit brought
for its collection, as it was claimed
that the laws were unconstitutional
which asked for such exhorbitant pay.
The case came to trial in the district
court, and County Attorney Jameson
agreed to take it as test case for sew
eral actions that were to be brought at
the same time. The case went against
the plaintiffs and 1t was appealed to the
supreme court, which decided that the

Acting Mayor Gray Loses an OPP
portunity to Veto.
Yesterday Acting Mayor Gray squared
his shoulders, pulled his beard out to its
longest, shot a look of determination
into his eyes and grasped a pen. lie
was about to promulgate a veto, his
first veto. No wonder lie was i'm
pressed. He began to write, bearing
down hard on the pen. The ink flowed
III thick stream, as if conscious of the
great cause in which it was employed.
The acting mayor got as far as ITO the
Honorable City Council of the City of
Minneapolis: /" There he stopped.
A burning thought flashed athwart his
throbbing brow. The veto was unnec-
essary. All he had to do was to refuse
to sign contract. He dropped the pen
and leaned back with a Thirteenth
ward sigh. The opportunity of a life
time was gone, wrenched from his hand
by perverse fate. And the waste
basket yawned.
While the acting mayor will not veto.
he will refuse to sign contract for the
erection of fire engine house at Thlr-
teenth avenue northeast and Main
street. At the last meeting of the
council the proper city officers were
directed to execute such a contract.
But there is no money to build the
engine house. a contract is no good
