Garbage in the Streets.

Health Commissioner Kelley is still worry
ing himself about the garbage question. He
depends good deal upon the next council
meeting. 1t is hoped that the council will
see its way clear to appropriating enough
money to build crematory out by the work
house. If the crematorv be not built, what
will the health department do? The best it
can. That will be not very much. The strn-
gency of the municipal money market ham
pers The health department as much as any
branch of the city government There is no
money to pay for hauling the garbage out to
Brooklyn. where Mr.. Iaw wants 10 sell it to
the farmers as garbage. If not enough can
be scraped up out of the corners to build
crematory, the health department must go on
in the old sweet way" And the stencil that
will arise from following that way will be
anything but sweet.
Garbage is now dumped into the river
under the Washington bridge. AS soon as
summer comes the residents down that way
will object and probably compel the aban-
donment OF that dump by injunction pro-
ceedings. DR.. Kelley reports that he has
made thorough examination OF the river
banks from ST. Anthony Falls to Minnehaha.
There is but one point where a dump could
be successfully operated, where a deep chan
mel ana strong current can be found; and
that point is away down on the east bank of
the river. Should the Washington avenue
dump be closed. the garbage will have to be
dumped into the street. Interesting state of
affairs, isn't il!

MINNEAPOLIS WATER,
Moody and Mcconnell Have Their
Saw on the Subject.

Say on the Subject.
The annual report of the Minneapolis
water department, combining the re-
ports of Registrar Moody and Super
visor Mcconnell, is just out. There is
in the report an interesting table show
ing the receipts of the water depart
ment from 1871 to 1890, inclusive. In
1871 the total receipts of the water
works department for rents, penalties,
etc, were S2,406.S2. The increase was
about $1,000 year until 1876, when the
total was $6.521. 16. In 1877 the total was
S10,225.75 and in 1880 $50, S1S.51.
The increase has been rapid
since that time, and in 1885 the
receipts were $l01, 1921. Last year
they were Sl72, 509.74. Prot. William A.
Pike, of the state university, gives in
the pamphlet technical report of the
test made of the two $1,000, 000-g gallon
WorthlngtOn pumps at the North side
station last spring. The contract re-
quired that the plant should develop a
duty of 1l5.000,000 foot pounds, and test
showed aduty of 116, 1858. 600 foot pounds,
with capacity exceeding the guarantee
at less than the maximum speed. Reg
IStrar Moody reports that $3.50 house
inspections and 5.2l0 reinspections of
saves much, he thinks, by proper in
spection. In speaking of meters, he
says:
I'VE have now set and in use 639
meters and elevator registers. OF this
number 27l were set during the year.
There is a great demand by almost all
water users for your honorable body to
so amend our present ordinance that
meters can be set at the expense of the
city. 1t is an impossibility, in my
opinion, to make schedule OF
rates that will be satisfactory to all
concerned, but with the meter system
all is equalized, it is an educator in the
use of city water, and with the meters
generally set the problem of water con
sumption is reduced to a business prin-
ciple. if it is only desired to furnish
water at or near the actual cost, this
can be done more readily with the use
of meters, as an official can figure to
almost certainty the amount of money
required, and the rate can readily be
fixed"
Supervisor Mcconnell reports the
water works in good condition There
are now laid 166 miles of water mains,
1886 fire hydrants, and 297 sprinkling
hydrants. He recommends that two
more boilers be fitted up for oil and that
the grounds around the North side
pumping station be improved.

MINNEAPOLIS EVENTS
The Veto Of the New Charter
Productive Of Indignation
and Surprise.
MAYOR" Potter Vetoes the
Curb and Gutter ResoIu-
ton.
"Mayor" Gray is Jealous, and
Thinks He Should Have
Done 1t.
j. G. Gluek Dies Suddenly
From Heart Disease on a
Street Car.

The information that Gov. Merriam
had vetoed the bill to provide Mime
apolis with new charter was not gen.
orally disseminated last evening, but
those who learned of his action were
very much surprised. The Democrats,
OF course, were indignant and chagrined
the Republicans were tickled, not
more with the fact that they had won
political point, but the manner in
which it was done. In fact,
they had given up hope since
the charter passed the house, and the
last demonstration of hostility to the
measure IN the way of remonstrance,
which would have been just as largely
signed if it had been petition to dis
franchise all the Democrats in the city,
was simply bluff that was not eX-
pected to win. When the Republicans
learned that delegation headed by
Martha q. Ripley, E. q. Potter, who
was defeated by 5000 majority;
Ed johnson, who was SO badly
beaten for the legislature that he has
been ashamed to be seen on this side CT
the river ever since, Bill King, who
isn't IN the city but about once in six
III nths, and lOtO small fry politicians
had succeeded in getting the governor
TO 90 back upon his pledge not to inter-
teare with local measures. When they
learned that a delegation of this stripe
had actually und0ne the work Of both
houses of the Legislature, they laughed
long and hearty, and they won't get
over laughing for some time to come.
As for the Democrats, their chief cry
of lamentatatiOn is: why did we trust
a Republican," The demand for a new
charter might have been made so forci-
bic, and the demonstration in its be-
half so emphatic, that weak-kneed VIII
lam would have never dared to veto it at
his party's behest.. As it was, he has
been deceived by the beating of drums
IN mistaking the yells OF a lot of office
holders, who didn't want to give
up the PLACES they hold by viz
tue of a Republican gerrymander,
for the voice of the people
Mayor Winston, before his departure
for the East some weeks ago, is said to
have had the positive assurance that the
governor would not veto the charter,
but would observe the same rule of non
interference with local measures which
he followed in the cases of st. Paul,
Saltwater, West Duluth and Albert Lea.
One thing is certain. that if political
fortunes ever present an opportunity

Bosses Will Not Yield.

The journeymen plumbers and bosses are
still figuring on a compromise. A joint com
mittee composed of six journeymen and six
master plumbers met yesterday and discussed
the matter of hours. The journeymen de-
manded that no non union plumbers be hired
by the master plumbers, and that no gasfit-
tiers or steamtitters be employed to do the
work of plumbers. Before going in one of
the members of the master plumbers com
mittee said:

cannot be dictated to by journeymen, there

POTTER HAS VETOED.
Nyva1I & Westiund Partisans De-
feated Themselves by Previous

ness"
Suspense is at an end. The curb and
gutter resolution has been vetoed. Yes
terday morning Acting Mayor Potter at
tached his signature to a little docu-
ment setting forth the reasons why he
could not sign the resolution. The an
nOIncement Of those reasons came to
the Nyvall & Westldnd adherents as a
surprise. They had expected that the
resolution would be signed. Potter had
announced that he would sign the reSo-
luton if he found that the resolution
had been passed legally. He learned
that the procedure in the council by
which the resolution was put through
was regular. But there was another point
upon which he had not pondered, nor
Even discovered at that time. That was
The manner specified for carrying out
This work. The aldermen who were so
anxious to aid NyvalI & WeStIund sim
ply oYer-reached themselves in their
zeal. They undertook to provide Speci-
ficatiOnS and contract at the same
time. The specifications had already
been passed upon and could not be
changed thus summarily.
When the curb and gutter was or
dered on certain streets and avenues
III the city OF Minneapolis, it was or
dered that such curb and gutter be 6
inches thick and 16 or IS inches deep.
The specifications upon which NvvalI
d Westlund submitted their bid called
for the same dimensions. Aid. Rand's
resolution, the one passed at the last
meeting OF the council. undertook to
change all this. Whoever drew it made it
order the setting of the curb and gutter
SIX inches thick and twenty-four inches
deep. Of course that was contrary to
the specifications and clearly illegal. 1t
was a case of 'previousness." But for
the assumption of knowledge on the
part of the aldermen the resolution
would have been signed
An amusing incident occurred in the
city clerks office yesterday afternoon as
result Of the veto. Several aldermen,
adherents of Nyvall d Westlund, were
there assembled. Assistant City En-
gineer Huntress was rallying them on

no such order last night
There has been good deal of talk on
the side about the interest taken by
some of the aldermen in awarding the
contract to Nyvall u Westund. 1t has

city's interest stirs the official breast.

GRAY FEELS SORE.
He Thinks That Potter Has Not
Treated Him just Right,

Now that the curb and gutter resolu-
ton has been disposed of, Aid. Gray,
who was acting mayor when the resolu-
ton was passed, is free to express his
opinion on the matter. The long and
the short of it is that Gray's feelings
were wounded by the manner in which
the curb and gutter resolution was
taken out of his hands. When the
resolution was passed, as before stated,
Gray was acting mayor. Potter was at
home IN bed, fighting off pneumonia.
1t is said that he notified the city clerk
TO hold back the resolution until lie
should be well enough to visit the city
hall. 1t was so held. Gray thinks that
was unfair. This is what he said yes
terday when asked why the resolution
was not submitted to him:
Il know of no good reason. But |
understand that Aid. Potter requested
the city clerk to give him the resolu-
tons, and in any event. if you can see
any reason for that l can't. was on

Some Confidence Left.

meets Tuesday to open bids for bonds
amounting to $4,000 At the meeting of the
finance committee a week ago no bids had
been received, although the commission S
bonds had previously sold at higher prem
ium than any other per cent bonds in Min
nesota. This has been attributed to the
usury bill and other measures before the
legislature. Since then the Farmers and
Mechanics bank has put in a bid for the
bonds at OAR and accrued interest, which
will doubtless be accepted.

The board of county commissioners is
planning an attack upon the ''bliDd

pastures. At the meeting next Monday
a resolution will be introduced Offering
$50 reward to any person who will Sc
cure evidence against any of these
illegal liquor sellers. The board
has been unsuccessful in get
ting evidence, costly evidence. TOO,
since it costs SO day for two men and
a horse and buggy to look for evidence.
Then they don't find what they are
after. For this reason the reward plan
will be tried. There is bill before the
legislature which strikes the county
commissioners as being just the thing.
1t allows the sheriff TO go into sus-
