son, of Winona, reSreSented the logging
companies, ami Harris Richardson, of
this city, represented Mr.. Mullen and
his bondSmen. A goOdly portion Of the
afternoon was take up in questioning the
sureties as to what property they had
in order to test their ability to 90 on
bonds for large sums. The questioning
was rather searching, and brought out
considerable private history. For i'll
stance, Tams BiXby is shown to have
had quite career as a business man in
rising from a baker of fifteen years eX-
perlence at Red Wing to become private
secretary to the governor of the state.
Mr.. Bixby stated that lie had real estate

port, announced the resignation of b. j.
Morse, driver of Engine Company No.

board of water commissioners put in
three regulation fire hydrants at the
Northern Pacific shops at Como. The
present private system, the chief said,
could not be used by the fire depart
mart, owing TO the hydrants being
smaller than those used in other parts
of the city. He advised that one of the
hydrantS be located north OF the ma
chine shop, one between the paint and
machine shops, and the other near the
lumber sheds. The report was adopted,
and the recommendations will be for
warded to the board of water commits

The pay roll for the month of August,
amounting to ST.. 91S.69. was approved.
The total is $3.50 less than last months
roll. The secretary of the board was
directed TO see the requlSition commit
tee from the conference committee and
secure an order for the purchase of 1000
feet of hose. This the commissioners
said was absolutely needed, and they
also desired it understood that the hose
would not be paid for until after Jan.

Salaries.
Peter Daily presided at yesterdays
meeting of the board Of county commits
Sioners.in the absence of Mayor Wright.
The board unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing resolution offered by Mr.. Daily:
Resolved, That owing to the wide
spread stagnation. both financially and
commercially. thereby causing distress
and restitution among our industrious
and worthy DOOR; be 1t therefore
Resolved by THIS board, That we sug
gest and earnestly request the mayor to
call a joint meeting of the common
council and the board of county com
missioners to devise ways and means
for employing those in need of our own
people, in order that they may be
enabled to provide for themselves and
families the coming winter. Action
must be taken on this. aud at once. as
some are now in need Of the necessarieS
or life.
The resolution relative to Assessor
Johnston followed the presentation of a
petition by Attorney Townley, which
recited that James Powers, deputy as
SCISSOR for the townships of Mounds
View and New Brighton. and John Lie
men, deputy assessor for Rose township,
had not been paid for their services, and.
in a suit brought in the municipal court
against the assessor, lie made answer
that he does not know whether the work
has been properly done by the deputies.
and made the claim that the deputies
IN h,,r
must look to the county for pay. Mr..
TOwnley made statement to
the effect that the law allows
Mr.. Johnston $1,000 one year
and $4,000 the second year for his
salary and the expenses of his Office,
including the pay of deputies. He then
asserted that the assessor has already
received $1,000 for part of the years
work and refuses to pay the deputies
named. Mr. Townley said that there is
some conflict i'll the law as to whether
the assessor can be required to pay his
deputies, and he would like the matter
tested, and in the meantime asked that
the pay of the assessor be retained until
the courts pass upon the mOOted queS-
ton. The petition was referred to the
committee that had served on the board
of equalization for investigation of the
facts as to the doing of the work in a
proper manner.

ron 50 70 of the First district fund was
directed to be applied on the Lake

veyor as completed according to con-
tract, and the report was accepted Sew
eral small bills were ordered paid.
The county assessor was brought UP
with round turn by the following reso-
luton introduced by Commissioner
Lavallee.
Resolved, That the county auditor be and
he is hereby instructed not to issue any war
rants i'll favor of the county assessor until
the board of county commissioners shall
have investigated Il communication from
