THEIR CHECKS CUT DOWN.

a ruling OF State Auditor Grimes. have
been working for the past several months
Tor nothing, and the auditor has refused

Under the Law the county board Of ap-
praisers was required 20 organize upon
the Ming of the map OF the harbor lines

the county and 10 complete their work

after the hsrbor line map OF Seattle was

organized and went 10 work. When the
ninety days had nearly expired. their
work was only fairly begun. but then
they discovered their mistake In moi wait
ing TIL the Tacoma harbor lines were
nled- After that was done they organized
anew, confirmed their acts done under
the former organization and began TO
count the ninety days from that date.
They have now claimed payment for all
the time they were employed.
The work OF the appraisers has con-
sumed eight months, and their task. they
claim. has been completed as quickly as
the nature of the undertaking would per-
nit Nevertheless, the state auditor
thinks the appraisers are entitled only
TO three months pay.

THE PAVING OF SECOND STREET.
Petitions signed aud Ordinance I'm the
Hands of Council.

The movement for the paving Of Second
street with vitrIaed brick. with granite
carbings. from YeSier avenue 70 Pike
street. which seems 10 De the desire of
the majority of the property holders
along that street. Is now awaiting the ac-
ton OF the council and depends on
whether the city can afford TO pay its
share of the cost On February IL last
the first petition was drawn up and cir
culated and out Of the eighty-six lot
holders along the street for the distance
10 be paved, forty-six signed. but the Pc
titton was not deemed valid, the scope
not being sufficient and the terms not
properly stated. After several had
signed some one. not liking the reading
OF the petition, incorporated the words.
ito be paved with vltrified brick" and
then signed his own name. This made 1T
very well for him. but was not doing
justice 10 those who had previously
with their wishes.
Among the signatures on the first petit
ton was that OF Amos Brown, who later
called on CITY Engineer Thomson and
declared that the signature was forgery.
that he never signed It, and moreover,
never authorized any one to sign for him.
With these and other difficulties TO con-
tend with. IL was deemed wise to aban-
don and set aside the petition and draw
up a new one. which was done. The Sec
ond petition has been numerousiy signed
and complies with the law inasmuch as
one-haif OF the property owners TO be
benefited on the street are represented.
Thus matters dragged along until three
weeks ago. when the finance committee
notified the city engineer that no more
money would be available for street paw
Ing and kindred improvements. and since
that time the proposition has been
dropped. But at the meeting OF the coun-
ell Monday evening the board of alder
men issued an orde1 for "the paving OF
Second street in conformity with the Pc
ution on file In the city engineers office"
which again tends TO complicate matters.
About six weeks ago a similar order was
made and the city engineer drew up the
desired ordinance and IT Is now I'm the
possession OF Alderman Compton, being
referred to him as chairman OF the street
committee.
Thus II can be seen that the question
is somewhat muddied. The cost of paw
Ing Second street in the manner desired
would reach 1000. of which amount the
city's portion would be about $500 The
charter provides two ways Of authorizing
improvements OF this character: one is
by petition from more than half of the
property owners upon whom the cost
will largely fall. and the other Is by a
two-third vote OF the council. a great
many people are In favor of the street
being paved now, for IL is argued that
not only is the Improvement needed but
labor and material are cheap and the
work can be accomplished at this time
for much less figure than a few years
hence. when money is freer and idle
men are scarce.
