Provision to Furnish City officials
Salaries Is Made.

The board of aldermen and the as
sambly held meetings last evening and
nassed the ordinance authorizing the
issuance of certificates of Indebtedness
with which to carry on the business Of
the city for this year. Certificates
were ordered issued for 81. 800, which
amount is within $4,000 of the full 80
per cent of the total sum to be raised
by taxation as indicated in the tax
budget. ~
The ordinance having been passed,
pay rolls for the various departments
for December, amounting to 500, U32.21,
were approved. . The amount is con-
siderable in excess of the monthly rolls.
but this is accounted for from the fact
that in a number of the departments
the salaries for November and Decem-
Der are includedd The assembly adopt
ed a resolution directing the agent of
the Schultz block to make the sidewalk
in front of theI building on Jackson
street passable for pedestrians The
aldermen, however, Preferred the mat
ter to the committee on streets.
The assembly, passed the resolution
adopted by the board of aldermen di-
recting the comptroller to audit the pay
rolls of the street commissioners for
half of November and all of December
The total sum involved is $469.9 and
this action was taken by the council
owing to the refusal of the board of
public works to approve the rolls of the
men. Comptroller McCardy, when
asked if he intended auditing the pay
of the commissioners when the resolu-
ton passed, replied in his usual frank
and communicative manner that he
would first have to receive the resolu-
ton officially before he could act upon
it. 80

SELBY ELECTRIC LINE.
Aid Shepard Says 1t Has Been Sem
fenced to Death.

The aldermanic committee on streets
assisted by nearly one hundred inter
ested persons, held a meeting in the
council chamber yesterday afternoon
The lively interest manifested in the
deliberations of the committee was
over the ordinance Of Aid Shepard
which directs the street railway COM
pany to change the cable to an electric
line and run the cars on Third street
and Summit avenue.
Aid. Shepard submitted letters from
officials and street car companies at
Tacoma, Duluth. Dubuque, showing
that electric cars were operated on
sleeper grades than was proposed by
the changing Of the route so as to go
over Third street and Summit avenue
The engineer of the city railway COM
pany sent in a letter stating that the
change contemplated by the ordinance
Of Aid. Shepard, was both feasible and
safe. Aid. Shepard explained that with
the tracks in the center of Summit
avenue from Selby to Dayton avenues,
would leave thirty-two feet on each
side Of the tracks for a driveway. If
the boulevards on each side of the
street were left at twelve feet there
would still be left a driveway of twenty
feet on each side of the tracks.
Aid. Bigelow favored the present line,
and said it was possible to have a de-
vice which would take the cars up the
Selby avenue hill. If this could be done
he thought it should be, and the tracks
kept off Summit avenue. W. H. Scott
thought the question of a device on the
Selby avenue hill was not very prac-
ticable, and was in favor Of the Third
street and Summit avenue route. L.
V. Root stated that if the proposed
change was not a success, the tracks
would be taken up and the street re-
f~06 Tn To q
by Aid. Kenny, Mr.. Root stated he
had been informed that this would be
done by the street railway company
After more talk the matter was referred
to the city engineer for an opinion in
writing as to the feasibility of the pro-
posed route, and whether it would be
more safe to go via Third street and
Summit avenue. or UP the Selby ave-
nue. hill with a device.
Aid. Shepard said last evening that
the idea in referring the matter to the
city engineer for an opinion was to
kill the ordinance. What the opponents
of the ordinance wanted from the city
engineer, was an opinion that it would
be much safer to use the mill with a
device than to lay tracks on Third
street and Summit avenue, and particu-
larry on the latter thoroughfare

for special reasons desire to get an occasional
important letter in quicker time than the
delivery can be effected through the post
office, the railway mail service will under
take to deliver such letters at the union
depot in this city, provided the same are spe-
cially addressed Ito be called for at the union

hours and within one hour after the arrival
of the train. The directions for delivery
at the depot must be conspicuous and the
letters deposited in mail cars running direct
to this city in connection with mail cars
so running. The desired result cannot be
obtained by mailing such letters at postof-
fees in the ordinary manner, as the direct
packages for ST. Paul are not opened by
clerks the trains. Letters received at
the depot for delivery will be forwarded to
the general postof1ce if not called for with
in one hour. The greatest forbearance must
be exercised in the of the union depot

taken from there to the station his
son on a charge of being concerned in
the stealing of a lot Of washing from a

at the station several hours and then
released, as it was found a mistake had
been made. Mayor Doran, after hear
ing the testimony, reprimanded the Of
ficers and cautioned them to be more
careful in the future in making arrests.
The mayor said there undoubtedly had
been serious mistake made, but as
the officers did it in their zeal rather
than from any other cause, he thought
reprimand would be sufficient punish
