A WARNING LETTER
Bids for Street Improvement Alleged
to Be Irregular

The board of public works received a
somewhat unusual communication yes
terday which they refused to make pub
lie for the present, but as a result of
which they did not examine the, bids that
had been referred to them for the i'm
provement of Twenty Twenty
second and Adams streets and they will
carefully examine what these bids con-
tain, as the communication hints that ali
is not right with them. The proposals
had been opened and close enough ex-
animation of them had been made to
show that C. H. Metcalfe was the lowest
bidder on the three pieces of work before
the communication was received, but
as soon as it was read all proceedings
were stopped pending an examination
Of the bonds attached.
Who sent in the communication the
m members would not say, nor would they
state the exact nature of it's contents
Enough was learned, however, to make
certain that the board had been warned
against accepting Mr.. Metcalfe's bids
for the reason, the letter stated.
that the names of none of the securities
on his bond for the work appeared upon
the assessment rolls of the city, as pro-
vided by law. 1t also stated that there
was bid in which came indirectly from
Contractor Mccormack, who was re-
Gently declared to he an irresponsible
bidder
No tions as to the letting
of the contract will be made until the
board can ascertain whether all of the
bids are regular and just which of them,
if any. do not fully comply with the law
The name of the writer Of the commu-
nication will not be disclosed even after
this examination is made.

FINANCIAL MATTERS
Saloon Rebates Hung Up-Tax Sale
Rebates Claimed

A short session of the finance commit
tee was held yesterday to dispose Of
routine business that had been referred
OF it at the last ting of the council.
1t had been expected that the committee
would dispose of the petitions of several.
saloon keepers for rebates on their IL
censes, but that matter was not taken
up. 1t is understood that there are sew
eral other similar claims from saloon
keepers which are being held pending
the fate of those now before the COM
mittee. If the committee grants those
before it the others will be filed, and if
the demands are refused the others will
take no action.
The reports of the city auditor, city
assessor, Florence home and free labor
bureau were approved. The demand of
Police Matron Gray for $24 paid into the
police pension fund was referred to the
board of police commissioners.
In the matter of the petition Of NJ.

Of portion Of his property through
the fact that that property had been
doubly assessed, the committee recon-
mend that the claim be allowed. 1t ap-

THROUGH ALASKA IN CAR
A Chicago Man Thinks He Has Solved
the TRANSFORMATION Problem

The genius of Chicago man, w. T.
Croslen. is said to have contrived m. ans
of overcoming the barriers Of nature
and weather in Alaskan wilds and put
ting tourists into Dawson In less than 10
days after leaving the seashore. In
December Mr.. Croslen expects to under
thirty-f1ve tourists The route by sea
will be from Seattle to Fort Wrangle,
and then the overland journey to Daw-
son will be undertaken, not afoot or
horseback, but in a car.
This car is to be electrically propelled,
lighted and heated. AS a combination
Of car and boat the car will be thirty
five feet long, and eleven feet wide, and
the seats will be made SO as tc be turned
into hunks at night. 1t will be pro-
PEELED by two cog wheels at the rear,
and will move on runners. If on lake
or river the ice should break, the car
would become a bouyant boat and the
cog wheels would become the propellers.
An eighteen horsepower engine will
generate the electricity.
Mr.. Croslen claims that cars similar
to this one have been long and success
fully employed in Canada to bring logs
over the snow, and down the ice bound
rivers to lake ports.
From Fort Wrangle there will be
smooth route along the surface Of the
Stickine river 14O miles to Telegraph
creek. There a tableland will be trav-
ersed to Lake Tesline, 1876 miles and then
after coursing, or tobogganing, ninety
five miles down the Lewis river, the
Yukon will be reached. Over it's broad
surface it will be plain sailing or rather
sliding, to Dawson. The trip of 760 miles
will thus be accomplished without
frost-bitten ear or the loss CT meals Or
sleep.
The company to conduct this enter
prise is capitalized at $4,000, 900, and is
called. the Great Northern Building and
Transportation company. - Chicago

S. A. Randall petitioned the city coun- |

S. A. Randall pettioned the city coun-
Gil yesterday to change and establish
the grade of Lake street from Tenth 10
Eleventh, that work being necessary
before he can make extensive improve
ments upon his property.
Frank B. Harbert filed a demand for
SIS. He claims that he had constructed a
sidewalk at Thirty-second and McClin-
took streets after a grade had been es
tablished. This grade was changed and
he was compelled to relay the walk at the
expense stated.
Property owners residing on Hewitt
street between First and Third petit
toned the council for the construction
of the five foot cement sidewalk along
that street, the work to be done under
the provisions of the general street law
Of California.
Poindexter & Wadsworth sent COM
munication to the council in which II
was stated that the work Of the chain
gang on Ord street threatened to dam
age certain property which the firm con-
trolls at Hill and Ord streets. They re-
quest that an investigation be made
before the work Is continued there. The
same firm petitioned the city council to
establish the grade of E street from Mid

AN OFFER TO BE MADE
Trade Rivalry Prompts an Advanta-
gous Proposition-To Be Pre-
sented to the City Council

The suggestion of Coroner Campbell
that the city needs public morgue and
his petition to the council to establish
one, promises to result in the citys Sc
curing such place free Of all cost. This
they can have if the city council will
accep. proposition which will be made
to il at tomorrow's meeting. Messrs
Kregelo & Bresee will send in a COM
munication offering to establish pub
lie morgue, keep it in perfectly sani-
tary condition, provide wagon and
horses to convey bodies to it and also
provide the services Of as many men as
are necessary to keep it properly, all
without cost, if the council will simply
accept their offer.
This offer is the outcome of fight that
has been going on for some time among
q ryllrlbe Of undertakers in this CITY,
and which eliminated in the filing yes
terday in the office of the city clerk Of
petition asking the city council to es-
tablish a public morgue. The commun-
ication from the coroner, which was re-
ferred to the board of public works at
the last meeting Of the council, was not
acted upon during the week by that
body and no mention will be made of it
In their report tomorrow,
Stree the coroner's request was filed
a number of the undertakers of the city
have been circulating a petition to the
council asking that his communication
be acted upon and pointing out the re
cessty for such place where bodies
could be held pending inquest ard idanti-
fication. The petition was signed by
nearly every person to whom ii was pre-
sented All of the undertakers who
saw it placed their signatures to it.
The result was that wheD the petition
was filed yesterday it was several yards
long and bore several hundred sigma
lures, among them being many of the
best known business men of the city
As the board Of public works is not ready
to report tomorrow this petition will also
be referred to it for action with the other
petition.
The motive of the coroner in suggest :
Ing the necessity of a public morgue was
to provide a place reeGsd by the city
and to thereby have himself removed
from the possibility OF being charged
with showing favoritism among the un+
dertukers OF the city. This charge has
been made by some Of the undertakers

OF the regular monthly business the
total collection was $14162. The face
value of the licenses sent out and re-
turned was $719, making total for the
month of $14,SS1. OF those returned un-
collected 81 were reported out of busi-
ness, void on account of double assess
ment or refused. The balance, 49, were

who have not received as much of tn

who have not received as much of the
coroner's business as they desired. The
purpose of the undertakers who We're
behind the petition was to make this
alleged favoritism impossible by pro-
viding place where all coroner's cases
would have to be taken. Just who first
started this petition does not appear
upon its face, but it is said to be the re-
suit of jealousy on the part of rival
firms.
AS sooD as Messrs. Kregelo & Bresee
learned of it they prepared a proposition
which they will present to the city coun-
Gil tomorrow and which will settle the
matter If 1t is accepted. Speaking of
the matter yesterday, Mr.. Kregelo said:
1--WE realize that the city needs pub
lie morgue and We also realize that the
finances of the city are not such as to
make the establishment and proper
keeping of such a place possible al the
present time. Now We will offer to re-
lieve the council of all expense in the
matter by providing a public morgue at
our own expense. The cost to the city
Of such place would be between $3.50
and $500 a month, for it would include
the services of at least three men. two
or three horses, a house in which to keep
the bodies and incidental expenses such
as fuel, light, telephone service, etc
Our proposition will be to furnish all
that may be necessary for such a place
keep a wagon and horses subject to call
at all hours, provide a place for the
holding Of all inquests if the coroner
desires to hold them here and pay all
expenses of the place. All the council
has to do is to accept our offer, and 1
see no reason why it should not be ac-
cepted. You might ask how we will be
able to afford such plan. 1t is simple
enough, We take our chances on secur-
ing the burial order from relatives of
the dead whose bodies are brought to
and kept at the morgue. Weare willing
to execute bond for the faithful per-
formance of the work and can be ready
for work within short time after the
city notifies us that our offer has been
accepted"
