LEAGUERS JUMP ON MILLS
Greenville Republicans Still
Fighting Like Kilkenny
Cats Over Trifea

The Greenville Republican League Club
held its weekly meeting last evening. but
nothing of Importance transpired until
after the meeting, when some OF the
member discussed the remarks made by
Fire Commissioner Mills at the house
warming of the Minkakwa Club. on
Monday night. Some of the members
were very indignant at the remarks OF
Mr.. Mills and were not a bit backward
in saying so. President Henry Petty
said he did not think the speech made
by Mr.. Mills was quite proper, for there
were no member of the League Club
looking for offices as was ~insinuated.
Neither was there any kicking and pull
ing against each other now.
Mr.. Petty further said he did not see
why Mr.. Mills hould say that there
should only be one organization in that
district.
IF 1t wasn't for our club here said
he, "the party would have been showed
under many times"
Mr.. Petty would not say whether the
club had decided to become an independ-
emf organization, and gave no explana-
ton for the absence of the Leaguers at
the HOuS6W dIlllIS Ol II =
Club. Captain Charles Rose, who was
formerly president of the League Club,
also spoke about the matter of having
only one Republican club in that dis
trict.
Probably it is not known that u club
is the older of the two he said, being
organized something like three months
before the Minks, although they claim 70
have been in existence since 1879. The
Minkakwa Club was organized in 1873 and
remained in existence until about 1883 or
1884. Then they disbanded and Il was
not until after the Harrison and Mortar
campaign, in 1888, that the Minkakwa
Club was r~eorganized. Our club came
to life during that campaign and there
fore we are older than the Minks.
IAN attempt was made some time ago
to organize the two clubs INTO one
and joint meetings were held in Belvedere
Hail.. the Minks' old headquarters. The
committees could nor come to terms, as
lied under the name of The Minkakwa
Republican League Club. having their
name in from. That matter fell through
and nothing more was even said about
it until Mr.. Mills referred to the one
club idea last Monday night. That club
is not older than ours and 1t can be
proved"
Other members were Of the opinion
that Mr.. Mills had been tipped off that
there were no Leaguers present and to
make such a speech simply for the effect
1t would have on some OF the big guns
who were present.
.Oh. YES, aid a m OF the
| League Club, there is lots Of harmony
between the two clubs, l don't hin
| Apparently things look very nice. but you
| can rest assured that these two clubs
| never will or can pull together harmoni-
! ously."
At the meeting last evening the com
| mittee which had charge of the arrange
| ments for the plank shad Inner which
was to be held next Saturday night, re-
| ported that the event could not be held,
| proved a great disappointment to the
members, h looked forward to a good
time.

Mr.. GR|FF|THS' SALARY
Mayor Agrees to Pay for
Qualification Of Ordinances
On Completion.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL TALK
Reduction Of the Tax Rate
Urged at a Conference
With the Finance
Board.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL TALK

Mayor Hoos had a two hour conference
with the Finance Commissioners yester-
day afternoon. Two weeks ago the Mayor
vetoed the appointment of Howard
Griffiths to prepare the Martin Act law
in pamphlet shape. Grifhths was to re-
ceive $500 for the work. After the veto
it was found that Grifiths was not only
codifying the Martin Act but also all the
city ordinances. He had been deputized
to do the work months before and his
appointment recently was only to make a
record of the work. Ex-Finance Commits
sioner Kellers was at the conference. He
explained the situation to the Mayor and
members of the Board. The Mayor IN
sisted that such work should be done by
the law department. In view of the tact
that Mr.. Grifiths has about finished the
work the Mayor consented to his being
paid. The Finance Commissioners will
meet again next Wednesday and by agree
ment override the veto.
Other matters were discussed at the
conference. One was in reference to a
new High School. Mayor Hoos is anxious
to nave a new High School built and at
an opportune time will sanction any move
made by the Finance Board looking to
the accomplishment of that end. The
Mayor suggested that nothing be done
until the budget for the coming fiscal year
is made up. The burdens are pretty heavy
this year. The Mayor wants to bring
about a reduction of the tax rate. He
will not cpuntenance any increase. The
water account was discussed. The Mayor
advised the Board to look over all bills
from the Street and Water Board very
carefully. There is now before the FL
nance Board awaiting concurrence claims
against the water account a~ggregatinS
$4,000. Some of the bills, it was decided,
will stand revision and reduction. The
Objectionable ones will be returned to the
Street and Water Commissioners.
Within the last few months an unusual
number of petitions lave been sent to the
water taxes and the return of money paid
in error.
The Finance Commissioners say there is
no reason why errors should be made,
necessitating the return of money. It was
decided to direct Water Assessor McGrath
to compel his clerks to exercise at least
ordinary care in making out bills.
The reassessors are also to be given a
hauling over the Goals for making false
or incorrect returns.
A few days G the Mayor discovered
that fictitious returns had been returned
by certain reasSeSsors. As soon as the
responsibility is fixed His Honor propose
fault. The Finance Commissioners are
also going to shut down on the return of
water rents. At yesterdays meeting three
petitions were refused. 1t is propose to
have business m on a proper basis
in the Water Department.. h Mayor
also suggested to.the Finance Board that
it conchr in no more appointments to the
