RECORDS ARE IN DANGER

The City Clerk Addresses a Letter to Each
Of the Nine Councilmen on
the Subject

There is no provision for soma of the
oldest and most valuable records which
are the property of the city. City Clerk
Charles A. Luckenbach has frequently
called the attention OF the mem bers Of the
council to the present condition of
affairs, but no attention has been paid to
his i'm rortunities. He yesterday indct-
ed the following letter to each one of the
nine councilmen:
| desire to call your attention to the
imperative necessity Of at once providing
suitable shelving for the city tax rolls in
this office.
There are now seventeen volumes of
the assessment roll lying in pile in my
office, with absolutely no shelving for
them. These books are being handled
many times each day. end the only result
must be that the books will fall to pieces
and will have TO be rebound; leaves are
liable to be torn or lost, anu when mutt
lated in this way much OF the value of
the rolls is lost.
| have several times called attention to
this matter but the lack of funds has
prevented action being taken.
While | fully appreciate the present
financial condition of the city, | believe
that it is unwise to allow valuable records
to be ruined, as must be the inevita BILE
result in this case.
Permanent shelving, Which will provide
sufficient shelving room for the next ten
wears. can be placed for about $3.50, aud
/ respectfully urge that some immediate
action be taken.

POLICE COURT NOTES
Some Of the Cases Passed Upon by Justice
Owens

oOmc OF tne SaSe8 faSseu upon Dy JuSuCc
Owens
James Carpenter, the thirsty saddler,
was arraigned before Justice owen yes
terday on chage of malicious mischief.
His examination was set for the 9th at
2 p. m.
The case against W. A. Hunter. cbarg-
ed with a misdemeanor, was continued
until the 9th at 80 p. m. The Defend
ant was sick and was released on mis- own
recognizance.
Frank Way, the youth who never came
back when allowed :to go out to
hunt bail. filed a demurrer to the charge
of having smoked opium. When Deputy
Constable Bosqui re-arrested the young
fellow he asked why he had skipped out
instead of returning to the station as ho
had promised Way said that he could not
stand being locked mp. The delicate
sensi biities of the prisoner have probably
been considera blunted by now and
Landlord Siewiekie reports that Way eats
his cornbeef hash with apparently as
much satisfaction as does the ooarsest
hobo in the chain-gang.
Harry Harvey was convicted OF having
disturbed the peace and will be sentenced
on the 7th at p. H.. Harvey is the
'masher' arrested by Officer Mike .Hol-
leran for having insulted passing women.
None of them would appear against Har-

no, entered against him.

charge has been made that the work is

joints. At the office of the city engineer
tie reporter was informed that the SUBJ
ject would be fully looked into, but that
the street superintendent has all such
things in charge. In the latter office Su-
