AT MAYOR TAGGARTS LAND.
County Commissioners Were Going
to Put a Bridge There.

Recently the Board of County Commits
sioners advertised for bids on a new iron
bridge. Mayor Taggart owns lot of land
in the river bottoms south of the city His
land is on the east side of the river near
where Raymond street would cross the
stream if the thoroughfare were opened.
Across the river is the McCarty land. 1t is
at this point that the bridge is to be built
The old board contemplated letting the con-
tract Dec. Is, but in the last few days
much opposition to the locality of the pro-
posed structure has sprung up and it is
probable that the new board will be re-
quested to reject the bids. The location is
a continuation of Raymond street eight
hundred feet south of the Belt railroad
crossing.
The chief objection to the bridge is be-
cause the territory across the river is thin
ly populated and the immediate locality is
made up of swamp land. The land owners
have agreed TO construct the approaches
if the county will build the bridge. This, il
is claimed, will be the biggest part of the
and swampy and IL will require long APP
proaches. The advertised specified tions
call for a bridge twenty feet wide and 450
feet long. 1t is understood that the bridge
through the McCarty farm Commissioner
Harding says that he concurred In the
order or the old board because a long petit
ton asking for the bridge was presented.
1t is shown that Raymond street does NOT
even extend TO the site of the bridge.
Mayor Taegart's land Is used for a brick
farm. A new bridge would make Ii more
accessible and more valuable.

PARKER'S SIDE LINE
PROPERTY OWNERS THAT FAIL To
GET ASSESSMENT NOTICES.
Board of Works Clerks Father Makes
Collections of
Coupons.

Improvement assessment collectors and
contractors are alleging that Bart Park
er, clerk of the Board of Works, has in
terested himself in the collection OF i'm
provement assessments and that he has
been sending out notices TO property own
ers who have been assessed. One contractor
alleges that Parker agreed TO send out these
notices for his firm free of charge, il he

making the collections on delinquent as
sessments. Postal cards have been produced
bearing similar date stamp to those used
by the Board of Works. These postal cards
bear on the reading side simple notifica-
ton of the assessments with no other adj
dress than city" The charge is made that
these cards so addressed fail TO reach the
owners in majority of cases and proper
ty owners frequently find themselves con-
fronted with costs for collection and
threatened with suits. The complaints
have been carried to Mayor Taggart.
Parker talked freely of the complaints
when asked for an explanation. He said
he felt he knew the source of the allega-
lions, which he branded as absolutely
false.
Have you sent out notifications to prop
erty owners?" was asked.
II have not sent out single one
''Have you made any collections

did you not tell contractor Foley that
you would send out the notifications If NE
would give you the collecting privileges?'
THE whole matter stands this way" said
Mr. Parker. 'My father is interested in the
collection OF delinquent assessments. / am
interested in him, because he is my father,
but not in a financial way. 1 have sent out
no cards nor received any returns on col
lections. / hold that my father has the
same right to make collections any other
person, and he is doing it in an honorable
manner. 1 have been interested in seeing

GRIEvOUs CIyIL-sERvICE BLUNDER.
Mayor Taggart's People Did Not Even
Ohserve Their Own Rules.


Mr.. Taggarts administration made ter
rible blunder yesterday morning. The civil
service rules were forgotten, absolutely for
gotten. for brief period. 1t was forgotten
that there were rules, that Mr.. Taggart has
expressed the wish that civil-seryice be re-
spected. w. T. Beuhrig was appointed an
inspector TO the city engineer, and that, too,
without filing an application. according to
the. civil-service provision of the charter.
Mr. Taggart was deeply mortified when he
found what had been done, and Controller
Johnson was greatly agitated. But the ap-
pointment was an urgent one. Mr.. Beuhrig
did good service for Mr.. Taggart prior 10
the election, and there was an inspector
needed in the engineers department. Two
Republicans and one Democrat were dis
missed from the same force but last week.
because there was no work, but the situa-
ton has improved since then. Mr.. Johnson
discovered Mr.. Beuhrig had been appointed
without complying with the newborn rules,
appointment was withdrawn for few min
utes. There was a flying around to get
civil-service blank, and Bert Spencer. clerk
ones. On them the applicant was asked 10
state his name, age and residence and tell
where he was born. He vas asked IL he
was citizen OF the United States. Inquiry
was made concerning his health. He was
asked to state his former occupation, and
below were left three blank lines for the
Endorsement of three good Democrats. Mr..
Reuhrig was drawn aside and told to quiet
ly fill out the application according to the
rules He did so. and obtained the recon-
n1endations of George T. Mills. W. X.
Sproule and W. A. Hughes. Then the april
cation was duly filed with the Board OF
Works and Mr.. Beuhrig was duly appoint
ed. There was no mistake-the rules had
been respected.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Taggart called
reporter aside and advised that inquiry
be made at the Board of Works Office for
the civil-service application. Mr.. Taggart
strolled into the boards Office and looked
very innocent. He asked If the civl-service
rules had been obeyed, and Bart Parker
replied YES" Mr. Taggart nodded his
head as IL to say, Mote that" and looked
exceedingly pleased.

Really, / have not inquired" said Mr..
Taggart.

il-service rules He passed the examination

What matters 1t if he is Democrat or
Republican,"
Bart Parker thumped away on his writing
machine, silently smiling to himself.
Come on, Tom, we better get out of this
place." said Mr. Johnson, and the Mayor
and controller withdrew.
