PONTHAN IN A FIX.
The Azotine COmpany's Contract
for the Removal of Garbage.

for the Removal of Garbage.
The AzOtine company holds an i'm
portant contract with the city. 1t did
hold two big contracts, but one of them
has expired. The first was drawn and
executed June Is, 1889, with tenure of
five years. The other was executed
April Is, 1890. and run for one year.
Consequently it became null and void
April ID last, and it has not been re-
newed.
Bv the provisions Of the first instru-
ment the AZotine company agreed to
erect a building at some suitable place,
within the discretion of the council, the
same to be equipped with suitable
machinery. ETC., to dispose of all the
garbage. otfal, refuse and dead animals
OF the city, by what is known as the
such services the AZotine company was
to receive $4,000 annually, in equal
monthly instalIments.
The second contract, or the one that
has expired, held the company to gather
all the garbage of the city, and convey
it to the plant referred to in the other
contract, there to be disposed of. For
this work the company received
$1,000 during the year, divided into
monthly insfallmentS. Suitable bonds
were filed with the city by the COM
pany to insure faithful performance
Of the duties prescribed in the con-
tracts. For the one that is still in
force and effect the bond is S25, 600.
Some time ago the AZotine structure
was destroyed by fire. and it has not
been rebuilt. Hence the query arises,
''How can the company comply with the
provisions of the contract without the
plant%
That is problem that struck City
Comptroller Ponthan with peculiar
force when the bills came to him for
auditing.
Il have refused to audit the bills,"
SAID he yesterday, because L am not
satisfied that they are right. For illus
tration, here are the monthly bills
since April Is for removing garbage.
You will note that the work that it is
claimed has been performed by the com
pany, for which these bills have been
rendered. has been done since the ex-
piration of the contract. feel that it is
assuming too much responsibility from
the meager information that is at hand
for me to pass fayorably upon the
bills"
The bills read:
CITY of St. Paul, Dr. to Azotine Manu-
featuring company to destruction of garbage
and dead animals, etc., for the month, $3.50.
And the bill for removal of garbage is
S9l6.66 per month. So it will be seen
that the amounts aggregate an impor-
tant sum,
These bills are all certified to by the
president of the azotine company, and
they have been passed favorably upon
by the council committee on claims.
Mr.. Ponthan feels that the claims
should be specifically certified to by
some city official who knows personally
that the services have been regularly
performed, in the first place, and that

COUNTY NOT LIABLE
For Damages Arising Out OF the
Death of z. W. Newman.

Judge Thayer, of the federal court,
fled an opinion yesterday in the case
of Henrietta H. Newman as admins
tratrix of E. w. Newman, deceas ed,
against The City of St. Paul and County
of Ramsey. The action was brought to
recover damages from the city and
county for the death of Newman by
railing through an open window which
was left unprotected in close proximity
TO a stairway landing. 1t was claimed
that the county is liable in damages
under the common law rules, as it is
merely a political subdivision. The
court, however, holds that there is no
reason for holding the county liable for
any part of the damages. as it is not
compelled to keep its public buildings
in repair; and, although the county
.oined with the city Under a special law
in constructing a building for their joint
use, it only uses its part as other build
ings in the state, and is not ilaole. The
action was accordingly dismissed as to

SAME OLD CHESTNUT.
Conference Proposed to Inaugu-
rate Twin City Union.


The chamber of commerce yesterday
adopted a resolution providing for the
appointment of a committee to be known
as the Committee on Union of the Twin
Cities. and that the board of trade of
Minneapolis be requested to appoint
committee with similar powers to con-
fer and act with the st.
Paul committee. The resolution
was offered by NJ. d. Mum.
W. P. Murray objected to the resOlu-
ton. He believed that Minneapolis
should make the first advances. The
resolution passed, although there were
several dissenting votes. DR.. Day re-
ported for the committee on an appeal
from st. Paul stonecutters, recon-
mending the adoption of a resolution
that in the Judgment of the chamber
resident mechanics should be employed
in the erection of the new postoffice and
custom house. II was adopted. The
communication from Fred Sehiffman,
anent the refusal of the street rail-
way company to carry mail car
riers on the old terms. was
laid Oh the table. The matter is being
settled amicably between the poStofTice
and the company.
E. V. Smalley introduced resolution
scoring the United States census bu-
reau for misrepresentation, and author
iZing the secretary TO prepare, with the
assistance of the mayor and other mu-
niciDal authorities. a correct statement
of the annual expenses of our city gov
eminent in comparison with the er-
roneous and fictitious figures given in
the census bulletin. The same will be
printed in circular form and furnished
to each of the journalists in attendance
on the national editorial convention,
with the request that it be published in
the papers represented by them. The
resolution was adopted.
Attention was called by II. F. Stevens
to the lack of decoration in view of the
convention opening to-day, and request
ed the newspapers to call attention to
the matter.

Eberman's Eagle Eye.

State Chemist Eberman is casting a
suspicious eye on certain vine gar deal
ers. He Edoesn't believe that all the
samples sent in for analysis are really
samples of what the dealers sell at all,
and something is likely to happen.
Complaint has been made by mer-
chant in Stephen of the fraudulent
dealings of wholesale vinegar firm in
st. Louis. The firm has been sending
inferior vinegar into the state, and
when demonstrated with by the mer-
chant, bulldOZingly threatened to pros
ecute him for criminal libel. 1t is quite
proper to cal. it a pretty pickle.
