MILLER MAKES A KICK
Insists That Improvement Of Sunset
Park Proceed Forthwith

In a communication to the city council,
John M. Miller asserted that delay in the
matter of improving Sunset park is being
needlessly prolonged, and calls attention to
the fact that the residents of the vicinity
have been promised the improvement, time
and time again. Money raised for that
purpose has lain idle in the city treasury
for fifteen months, and no movement has
been made toward using it. The communi-
cation is as follows:
ri wish to call your attention to the ne
elected condition of Sunset park and to
protest against the delay of expending the
money already appropriated for the improve
ment. Considerably over one year ago $1,000
was appropriated for the improvement of
Sunset park, and it was promised that the
money would be expended as soon as the
rain should fall and make the ground easy
to work. The next obstacle that was intro
duced to prevent the improvement was the
excuse that a drain across the park must be
built first, and that inasmuch as there was
no money for this purpose everything must
wait in abeyance. / consider this reason
ing very fimsy. There is only small part
in the lowest section that would be affected
by storm water, and there is no reason why

PROTEST HEARINGS
Much Talk but No Decisions, Every
thing Being Continued

thing Being Continued
Protest hearings did not result in de-
cisive action yesterday. The lobby was full
of people interested for and against pro-
jected improvements, and they were not at
all averse to expressing their opinions.
until almost closing time they wrangled and
tangled, but " each instance the discussion
resulted in merely continuance. Some
lively times may be expected next Monday
in the matters in question.
In the matter of the protest of Mrs. Eliza
Wilson, James Moses, Nettie Mueller ct al.
against the confirmation of the report of the
commission for the opening of an alley from
Fourth to Fifth streets between Hill street
and Broadway, Attorney Dunning appeared
and stated that he wished an extension of
time, to better look after the interests of his
ing James Moses, who is a nonresident, be-
ing busy at San Pedro. Attorney Dunning
stated that Mr.. Moses is entitled to good
deal OF consideration on account of some
5000 of his money being involved The
council was not disposed to grant an exten-
sion of time, the matter having come up so
often before, but finally it was extended for
one week.
The protests from B. J. Brannan ct al.
and G. j. Beck against the confirmation of
the report of the committee for the opening
of Tenth street from Elwood to Wilson,
get particulars about same. The protest
against the opening of an alley from Fifth
to Sixth streets between Hill and Broadway
was backed strongly by a Mr.. Croswell, who
represented the First Methodist Episcopal
church. In the course of his remarks he
went on to say that he did not know the
it was not worth any less than the church
paid for it, viz: $500 per front foot. He
maintained that an alley would not be de-
sirable to the. church, inasmuch as their
property would not be benefited thereby,

GRIFFITH HELD TO ANSWER
The Mysterious Prisoner Placed Under
Heavy Bonds


1t is not likely that d. J. Griffith, the
local police, will leave this vicinity for some
time to come. He is now in the county Jail
in default of $4,000 bonds, which were i'm
posed upon him yesterday by Justice Owens.
Griffith was examined on two charges one
of forgery, and the other of burglary. In
the first the bonds was fixed at $4,000, and
the second, $4,000. On the night of October
81 nice looking man walked into the Ar
cade Depot hotel and registered as George
H. Morris" He remained until the fol-
lowing evening, and then, in payment of his
bill, produced check for $3.50 on the
First National bank, made out in favor of
Morris, and bearing the signature of II.
Jevne. j. Schneider, the proprietor of the
hotel, accepted the check, and paid "Mor-
ris" the balance in cash, Later he COM
pared the writing on the check with that on
Schneider telephoned to Jevne, and learned
that no such check had been issued The
man who passed the check was arrested at
River Station while he was waiting for the
northern train. At the station morris"
gave his name as Griffith, but refused to dis
close anything to the detectives. They
searched his effects, but could discover moth
ing which would lead to learning his iden-
tity.
Later Mrs. F. A. Law of Buena Vista
street called at the station and positively
identified Griffith as a man whom she had
discovered in her house on October 81
Griffith ran out of the house, and later she
discovered that she had been robbed of 50.
At the examination Griffith refused to ask
stand in his own defense. The detectives
are of the opinion that he is criminal who
is wanted for some serious crime in another
part of the country.

THE MAYOR SUSTAINED
COUNCIL WILL RAISE SALARIES
BY A LEGAL METHOD
TOLL HATED TO TAKE WATER

Indulged in an Attack on Snyder.
City Hall News

Mayor Snyder was sustained yesterday in
his veto of the requisition which was to have
obtained for Second Assistant City Attor.
ney Thomas an increased salary of $25 per
month since July lax. MIR. Thomas will re-
ceive the salary, as the mayor was and is
perfectly willing he should, but the increase
will come through the legal channels and
will be acted on openly and in the customary
manner. This was the only point on which
Mayor Snyder's action was taken and he
is therefore entitled to the credit for calling
the councils attention to what would OBJ
viously have been q violation of the law.
Immediately after the reading of the mes
sage, Councilman Nickel made a motion
that the action of approving the reauisition
be reconsidered. The motion carried. Mr.

the remainder, and by far the largest part
OF the park, which is high above any pos
sible storm water, should not be immediate
ly improved. AT the time when Mrs. Shat
tue. gave the land for park purposes 1t was
understood that the improvement would be
made as soon as the location would be ac-
cessible by the extension of the electric rail-
way. Not only has there been one railway
Dullt, but two roads are now running dl-
rectly to Sunset park. Mr.. Wiltshire also
was promised if he gave strip of land l2O
feet wide to connect Westlake park with
Sunset park that as soon as this strip lnow
the Wiltshire boulevard) was improved and
dedicated for park purposes that it would
be taken over by Che park commissioners,
and also that Sunset park would be prop
erly improved, making it, with the Wiltshire
lake park. If the ground were inaccessible.
if it were not in a part that would be un-
questionably enjoyed by the public imme-
diately it was improved there might be
some excuse for the neglect of this park
But, on the contrary, it is the very site
above all others that would naturally be
chosen for it's eligibility as a park site. Al
ready Westlake park is overcrowded on
Sundays, and if Sunset park were improved
it would be the natural resort for the over
flow, as it is but 1900 feet distant and con-
nected by three thoroughfares I ask for
the immediate expenditure of the money al
ready appropriated and now lying idle in the
city treasury for more than fifteen months.
Very respectfully,
The council felt that if the matter was
getting so warm as all that: it would be
better to let some other body assume the
responsibility, so referred the communca-
tion to the park commission without COM
ment or discussion.

the duty of the city when it obstructed this

Its legal obligation ends when it has con-

COLORED FIRE COMPANY
Council Resolves That One Shall BE
Provided For

Almost three years ago Councilman Ash
man became the champion of colored fire
company project, and when he brought tn.
matter before the city council at that time
recommendation in favor of esta ablishinl
such an organization was approved and duly
delivered to the board of fire commissioners
Since that time, however, the project seems
to have dropped out of sight and mind will
everyone excepting it's champion.
Seeing in the intended improvement ant
extension of the fire department service. =;
chance for the realization of his hopes, Mr.
Ashman yesterday introduced the following
resolution:
Whereas, On the 25th day of Novem-
ber, 1895, it was resolved by this coun-
Gil, upon motion of Mr.. Ashman, that
"the council recommend to the fire COM
missioners that they arrange as soon as
practicable for an engine company to be
composed of colored men," and
Whereas, The time is now at hand
when a much-needed increase is to be
made in the fire department of our city,
including the organization of several en-
tirely new companies to man added sta
tions; and
Whereas, The colored people of our
city are wholly without recognition in
this important department of public
service; now, therefore. be it
Resolved. That the attention of the
honorable body of fire commissioners
and the chief of the fire department be
called to the resolution of November,
1895, and that they be again requested to
provide for an exclusive company of
colored firemen when making up the
quota of men for the new fire stations.
The resolution was unanimously adopted
and the request will probably be f,prmall!
presented to the commission tomorrow
morning.

Oil Men Want Another Oil Ordinance
Amended

Major Nolan's petition for extra salary, in
consideration of extra work done by him
while secretary of the board OF freeholders,
was referred to the finance committee, after
considerable discussion. Councilman Toll
took the position that, as the freeholders
had themselves passed on all their expen-
ditures, the matter should be referred to
them for official action and recommendation,
but, as the petition bore the Endorsement of
the freeholders, councils finance committee
was finally intrusted with responsibility of
determining the merit of the claim.

paid for the work The city should have
accepted the improvement by ordinance and
thereafter become responsible for the re-
pair of it. Time went on and the neglected
condition of the paving resulted finally in
the recent resurfacing. Though complaining
of it somewhat, the property owners again
submitted to assessment for the entire cost.
This time, however, they propose to see
that the city assumes the responsibility Of
keeping the streets in condition, and to start
the ball rolling they yesterday had petit
tion before the council asking that action
be taken Immediately to accept the i'm
