BOSS PAINTERS.

They Are at Outs With the Sullivan
Kelly Company.
The trouble between certain contract
ing painters and the Sullivan Kelly Com
pany is still on. Several of the painters
met on Saturday night and discussed the
matter OF the painting of the State Print
ing Office by the firm mentioned. The
charge was made that inferior material
was used in the work.
4 committee was selected to wait on
the Capitol Commissioners on Tuesday
and inquire why they had had the print
ing of1lce painted without asking for
bids. and to request that they withhold
the money for the work until it had been
properly done. Next Thursday night
they will meet to hear the report of the
committee.

SPRBBT-CAR ROBBED.

Two Masked Men Did the Job Satur-
day Night.
Last Saturday night an electric car was
stopped by two masked robbers at Twen-
ty-first and Y streets. The robbers
sprang aboard the car, and one of them
detached the trolley-pole from the wire,
leaving the car and surroundings in
darkness. The other promptly presented
a pistol at Conductor Lynch's head and
compelled him to give up all the money
he had, amounting 10 about $40.
The other ropber covered Motorman
Van Dyke with q pistol while the con-
ductor was being robbed.
The robbers then jumped from the car
and ran away. On account the dark
ness it could not be ascertained in what
direction they went. Neither the con-
ductOr nor motorman can give an accurate
description of the men.

Serial Bonds.

EDS. RECORD UNION: 1t is claimed by
some that if the street improvements of
our city is done under the serial bond
system the work will cost much more
than under the old system, owing to the
fact that the contractor must carry the
bonds.
l am informed that in Los Angeles
fully three-fourths of the front footsge
paid cash, leaving but one-fourth upon
which serial bonds were issued.
The State Bureau of Highways informs
Us that the cost will be for macadam less
than 81 Is per front foot, providing that
we use macadam from Folsom furnished
by the bureau, which is the intention OF
the City Trustees. have therefore taken
81 30 per front foot, that being an outside
figure, serial bonds, five years at per
cent, as basis, the work to pe done this
fall, and that three-fourths Will pay cash
and one-fourth will wish the serial bonds,
which | believe is fair estimate.
a lot forty feet front at 81 90 per front
foot will cost $780, one-tifth of that amount,
which is S12, will be payable January /,
1896; there should be no interest on the
first payment, and the same amount
will be due on the lst Of January of each
year until the 500 is paid; the interest
will be due on the lst day of July and
JduudIJ QutIuB tAo tOAlll vi thO bOib'
The total amount of interest at per cent.
will be for the full term 81 20.
If the contractor finds 1t necessary to
borrow the amount of the bond, say at Z
per cent. he Will pay out IS 40; he will re-
ceive interest on the bond, 81 20; his loss
will be for the forty feet. 81 20; which he
must charge to 100 foot frontage, which
will average three-fourths OF one cent for
each front foot Of street contracted for;
therefore, If q man owned forty feet front
age it would cost him 30 cents more un-
der the serial bond system than under the
old system.
l am informed by some ofthe contract
ors who have done great deal OF street
work in this city that their bids would be
no higher under the serial bond system
than under the old system, as the inter
est Of per cent. on the serial bonds would
be ample TO cover the cost of any money
they may have TO borrow.
l have no interest in this matter except
to encourage street improvement as rap
idly as possible, and in such way as to
meet with the approval of all fair minded
and consistent taxpayers.
Since writing the above / am informed
by the Bureau of Highways that the bids
for rock crusher will be opened on the
18th instant, and that they viii not be able
to deliver crushed rock until toward the
end OF November or early part of Decem-
Der. This will bring the street work so
close TO the rainy season that the street
cannot be finished before the rains set in,
and it will not do to build macadam roads
during the winter months.

financially, it was success. We have

WIEN ASSESSMENTS ARE MADE.

state Board OF Railroad Assessors
Make Their Report Showing Mis-
souri, Pacifc's Assessments Raised
Half a million, Santa Fe Lowered
Half = Million.
The state board of railroad assessors
has completed its work and has an
nounced the figures on which the col
lection of taxes on railroad property IN
Kansas for the year 1895 will be based
The total railroad assessment has been
decreased $118,942 from the assessment
of last year.
The politics of the assessment is sup
posed to be in the increase of the Mis-
souri, Pacific assessment 1913, 8i233 and
the decrease Of the Santa Re IS SOLO,
O53.75.
During the last few political campaigns
the party in power has been charged
with manipulating the railroad assess
ulent in the interest of the railroad cor
porations which were friendly to it.
The Populists charged that the Re-
publicans always favored the Santa Fe
IN fixing the assessment and when the
Populists we're in power they were
charged with favoring the Missouri Pa
ciic.
During the campaign last fall the Re-
pubiicana charged the Missouri Pacific
with assisting the Populists and the Pop
ulists charged the Santa Fe with assist
ing the Republicans.
The present assessment gives color to
the charges of this kind which nave
been made from time to time.
1t may have been that the Populists
assessed the Santa Fe too much and the
Missouri Pacific not enough.
The assessors assessed each Pullman
car in the state at $4,000 instead of $4,000
as fixed by the Populists year ago. but
the Pullman company reported SAC. 10
less property in Kansas than year ago.
The tabuIated assessment of Pullman
property as prepared by the assessors
shows that Pullman property is assessed
$32, 7733 81 more than last year, but IN
reality there is a decrease in the assess
ment of So, 226 So
Last year the Wagner car assessment
was included in the NJ, Z. s. T. rolling
stock, but this year it is given separate,
which makes an item of So 500 which
should not be counted in the increased
assessment.
The present assessors found two pieces
of railroad property which were not as
sessed by the Populists which if left out
of this assessment would show the de-
crease from last years assessment to be
$685., 822 instead of Sis g42 The new
property assessed is the Union |StminaI
company at Kansas City and Leaven-
worth Depot & Railway comp ny.
In addition to this, the Leavenworth
bridge is this year assessed $4,000 more
than it was last year because it was not
finished when the assessment was made
last year This item must be added
to the additional property assessed which
would make the total decrease from last
years assessment $255, 1872 SO. instead of
