Appropriation Not Suficient-Ex-
penses Near $4,000. i

Appropriation Not S-umcient-Ex-
penses Near 10000.
Controller johnson will begin paying cleo
ton bills tomorrow. but it is doubtful If
he can pay them all, as the appropriation
at hand for these expenses is not sufficient
and the Council will have to make an addi-
tional appropriation unless some Of the bills
are put off till after Jan. 1. The annexa-
ton to the city of much new territory and
the creation of additional precincts on ac-
count of the city's growth in the last few
years has made these expenses increase.
The balance in the appropriation for cleo
ton expenses Is $500, while the expenses
for judges, inspectors, clerks. sheriffs, room
rent and fire alone will reach $3.50. In
addition TO this there are bills for printing
ballots, instruction cards and numerous
other incidentals. TIL average expense a
precinct for officers. meals, fire, ETC.,
amounts to $3.50. Under Judge Browns
decision, two clerks are allowed a total of
81; two sheriff's, So; two judges, 81; one in
spector two days.. "a; meals. $1,000; room
rent. So; hauling booths, $3.50; stoves, lamps,
ETC., 80 cents. Outside of the precinct ex-
penses are bills from four clerks to the re-
turning board who want $5 each for their
services. The Guttenburg Printing Com
pany has presented a bill for $216 for print
ing 2,40 German instruction cards. Bills
are still coming in.

Democrats Do Not Like the Turning
Down Of willard Robertson.
There is very much of a kick among the
Democratic workers at the turn down"
given Willard Robertson, secretary Of the
city committee. in the appointments made
by Captain Curtis, the new city attor-
ney. Robertson wanted to be his assist
ant, but would ave taken the appointment
as city prosecuting attorney with about
half the pay. He was denied even this.
though he was about as much deserving,
his friends say, at the hands Of the party,
as Curtis. But Bronte NJ. Aikens was APP
pointed. Aikens is a sprig of the law
who came to this city two years ago from
Canada and is not yet a citizen of the
United States in higher degree than his
first papers. He must live here three more
years before he is fully. entitled to vote
for President of the United States. He
has never done any party, work except
to vote the Democratic ticket, which he
found most congenial to his foreign taste.
He Is a pronounced free trader and was
only recently admitted to the bar. 1t is
said of him that he has never attended
q primary or a convention, except as q
looker-on, If at all.

raised that the city Is still interested In
guarantees given by Mansfeld's firm on the
sewer work done, much OF which Is in a
defective condition Late in the afternoon
the city attorney called on the Mayor
for the papers in the case.
Mr.. Taggart said yesterday that he had
called on the city attorney for an opinion
because the question of eligibility had been
raised. II had been reported that the
Mayor was taking this step TO gracefully
relieve himself of the odium of Mans
fields appointment by retiring that on
cial on technical ground. Mr.. Taggart did
not talk that way, however. He said he
had asked the opinion of an attorney on
this same point before giving Mansfield
the position. Mr.. Taggart thought there
was nothing In the charter regarding guar
antees by contractors. that the requirement
of a guarantee was merely a regulation OF
the Board Of Works. He contended that
the sewer work by Mansfield's firm had
been completed and the firm paid. The
guarantee was merely a precaution taken
by the city officials, he thought. and did
not imply a relationship between the city
and the contractor as contemplated b. the
city charter in that provision which for,

PHOENIX TELEPHoNE coNTRAoT.
City Attorney Curtis Holds that Ii Il
Not Before Present

Not Before Present
In the light Of City Attorney Curtis's
opinion, given yesterday, the prospects for
securing telephone service at a reasonable
rate do not look very assuring to the peo-
pie Of Indianapolis. Captain Curtis holds
that the Phoenix telephone contract made
by the old Board of Works is not now be-
fore the present Council. and cannot be re-
called from the committee to which it was
intrusted. A permit to lay a switch across
New Jersey street is also in the same predic-
ament as the Phoenix ordinance, as it was
not acted upon before the life of the old
Council expired. Mr.. Curtis's opinion re-
garding the inability of a new Council to
in the old Council agrees with that of ex-
City Attorney Scott.
The Phoenix Telephone Company is COM
posed of a number of prominent Indianapo-
lis business men, and it made an effort TO
get an honest contract with the city, agree
ing to furnish telephones to subscribers at
50 a month instead of the exorbitant rate
now charged by the Central Union Com
pany. Several months were taken before
the Board of Works, and the Phoenix COM
pany came to an agreement which was sat-
isfactory to those watching over the city's
interests. 1t is not known whether the
present Board of Works will pigeonhole this
Phoenix contract or send IL back to the
present Council for its approval.

STOCK YARDS DEAL
KINGAN & CO. COME TIC TERMS WITH
THE PRESENT ESTABLISHMENT,
And the Plan Of the Farmers and

VIII Not Materialfxe.

An agreement has been reached between
the Belt Railroad and Stock Yards Com
pany and the promoters of the Farmers
and Drovers' Stock Yards Company salts
factory to a majority of the parties con-
cerned. Those business men interested in
the new concern are satisfied with the
terms offered by the old ompany and as
d result there will not be a new stock
yards established in this city at present.
The talk of a new company arose over
charges for handling stock made by the
old company. Discrimination was alleged.
Kingan & Co. were understood to be tho
chief hacker OF the new concern. The lat
ter has already secured an option on
ground south of the wheel works near the
Belt road, upon which it was proposed TO
build the new yards. The new company
mad Organized and was preparing to begin
active operations, but overtures were made
by members of the old company, and a
meeting OF the men interested in the two
concerns was held. Al agreement was
reached several days ago, but the union
was not consummated. The directors Of
the two companies decline to state the
terms of the proposed agreement. A direc-
tor Of the established company stated to
the Journal last evening that the interest
ed stockholders had agreed to say nothing
OF the terms Of the agreement until the
deal was completed. 1t is announced
however, that the terms under which this
agreement mas been reached are satisfac-
tory TO Kingan K Co. and other firms who
had complaint TO make of the old com
pany.
In connection with the agreement It is
as a director and as secretary of the ReIf
Railroad and Stock Yards Company. The
r=eslsna5i OF tb was sir accepted Yesterday at a
Mckee's resignation is a result of the
sentiment Of the minority stockholders of

Mr.. McKee's resignation was rendered last
Monday. He has been connected with the

George Boice COmpels Contractors to
Comply with Specifications.

George Boice COmpels Contractors to
Comply with Specifications.
Residents of North Delaware street are
much pleased with the work of inspector
George Boice, and are making a strong eff
fort to have him retained on Engineer
Mansfeld's force. The Western Paving and
Supply Company is paving that street north
of Seventh, and it is said that inspector
Boice has held the company strictly TO the
letter of it's contract in such 4 manner as to
merit the admiration of the property own
ers. The company, it is said. distributed a
lot of curbing in the street that was not free
from seams. When inspector Boice saw IL
he condemned almost the entire lot. and
marked the bad pieces with red crosses.
The citizens say that the company had the
crosses brushed off and then put the stone
in the ground. Last Friday inspector Boice
discovered this, and had all the defective
pieces removed at considerable cost to the
company. Nearly three hundred feet was
condemned. 1t required two days to re-
move it. and delayed the laying OF concrete
one day. The people in that neighborhood
rave come to the conclusion that MI. Boice
Is the right kind of a man for an inspector.
and are doing all they can TO secure his re-
tention by the new engineer.

serious and some apprehension Is felt for
his recovery.
