DR.. Ohage as to the company not doing
its work properly. DR.. Ohage had stated
that there were over 500 Justif1able COM
plants against the company In the two
wards which 1t had contracts for this
year. This Mr.. Dobner denied; and chal-
lenged the health commissioner to prove
his statement. Mr.. Dobner said but for
ty-six well founded complaints had been
lodged against the company in the Fourth
district this year. DR.. Ohage, in reply,
simply said he would stick to his state
ments made before the board of alder
men.
AID. Bell said the company, as well as
the other bidders. were responsible and
reliable and would give bonds for the
proper carrying out Of the work. If the
work was not done properly 1t would be
owing to the health department not fore
ing the contractors to follow the specif-
cations.
Tho report of the committee was amend
ed so as to give the st. Paul Carriage
company the contracts in Districts l, 2 3,
4, 5, 6, Z, and 8. NJ. j. Moriarity was
awarded the contract in District 6, George
Brookins in District 10, and A. England
In District IL. The recommendation Of
the committee was adopted with but one
dissenting vote, that Of Aid. Sanborn.
Under the contracts the collection and
removal Of garbage will cost the city
$1S,32S. The removal of a half barrel of
rubbish and refuse each week from each
building is also included in the contract
for each district.
The vacation Of a sixteen-foot alley in
block 1853, Robertsons addition to West
st. Paul, was agreed to. The Villaume
BOX company own all the property in the
block and need the alley for the extern
sion Of its plant.
The resolution of the park board ask
ing that Como avenue be Wldened ten
feet on each side of the avenue, from the
Great Northern bridge to Dale street,
was read, and preliminary order for the
Improvement will be presented at the
meeting Of the board Tuesday night. The
ordinance directing the street railway
company to operate its Rice street cars
on Rice street, between University ave-
nue. and Rondo street, instead Of on Wa
basha street, was laid over until the next
meeting without discussion.

The Nome Gold Fields.

The first map folder or circular respect
ing the Klondike gold strike Of 1898 was
issued by the Northern Pacific Railway.
It is more than coincidence that the
first map folder or pamphlet of the Nome
mining district comes from the same
source. The present folder not only con-
tains a good map of the Nome district but
is embellished with several cuts of views
at Nome City and on the beach where the
method of mining is clearly shown. All
Information obtainable regarding sailing
dates from Seattle and Tacoma, through
rates. etc. is given in this book and the
public cautioned to so to the agents of
the Northern Pacific Railway, who are
supplied with diagrams of the Alaska
steamers, and arrange in advance for
their accommodations, rather than to put
off this very important business until
they reach Puget Sound. There is no
doubt but what there will be a very con-
siderable passenger business from the
Middle and Eastern states and a very
heavy business from the Pacific Coast
states to the Nome district next spring
For folders, rates, etc, call on o. Van
derbilt, c. 7. A, corner Fifth and Robert
streets, St. Paul, or send a two-cent
stamp to Charles S. Fee, general passen-
ger agent, st. Paul, Mimi, and he will
mail you the Nome folder.

Why Summit Avenue Property Own
-,.-..~ eera Object to. Assessment.
M. M. Espy. Margaret Dennison, H. R.
Cocker. and John d. Simonton, property
owners on Summit avenue between Rice
and st. Feter strsets, filed a protest with
the board Of public works yesterday
against the assessment for sprinkling the
avenue, on the ground that it had not
been sprinlIled during the season, and
that even the sprinkling carts had not
been driven, over the -thoroughfare.
The ayenueais In sprinkling district No
4, and the Board after ordering the OBJ
jecttons filed, proceeded to confirm the
assessment. Commissioner Sandell stated
that the inspector had informed the board
that the avenue was sprinkled, and con-
sequently the board must take the ground'
that the DIRECTORS were mistaken. The
assessments for sprinkling in districts 6
and were also confirmed
Iiids had been advertised for the con-
struction Of sewer on Dale street from
Edmund street go feet north, but none
of the contractors responded The esti-
mate Of tho city engineer was that the
work would cost $780, but, owing to the
iateness Of the season, City Engineer
Claussen said possibly the estimate was a
little low, and this might have been the
reason why no bids were received: The
estimate was amended SO as to make the
figures $305, and the clerk was directed
to readvertise for proposals.
Assessments We're completed for curb
ing and sboulevarding Dayton avenue
from Avon to Victoria streets, and paw
ing East Seventh street from the rail,
road bridge to Hope street, and the clerk
was directed to give confirmation notices
in each Improvement. The assessment
for bouleVarding Dayton avenue amounts
to 81, 1926 or S1.O4 per front foot to prop
erty owners, and includes the planting of
six trees at "a each, in addition to the
boulevarding and curbing.
The assessment for paving Seventh
street aggregates SIS, S31 So, or 1855 per
front foot to property owners. B. H.
Schr1ber, who stated that he represented
cne-h half Of the persons assessed for the
paving, asked the board TO DELAY the con-
frmation Of the assessment until he had
time to fi:e objections.
There was some discussion as to the
advertising for bids for the paving of
Wacouta street from the union depot to
Seventh street with sandstone. The point
was raised that the final order for the
paving said nothing about the street rail-
way track between Third ard Fifth being
paved. The city engineer stated that the
track was not used by the company and
he understood that it was to be removed
from the street. Supt. Smith informed
the board by telephone that the track
had been laid with granite on a concrete
foundation, and would not have to be
touched, even If the rest of the street was
paved. 1t was decided to welt until after
Jan. to advertise for the bids

The ordinance passed by the council
Wednesday evening, repeating the resolu-
ton OF December, 1891, authorizing the
accumulation Of an insurance fund and
directing the transfer of the 1000 to the
school fund, was promptly approved by
Mayor Kiefer yesterday. The ordinance
Will be given its official publication this
morning, and then 1t will be the duty of
the comptroller apparently, under the or
d1nance, to, close the account Of the in
surance fund and place the $4,000 to the
credit Of the school fund
Inc situation is most perplexing one
for the comptroller. Corporation Attor-
ney Markham, in the most emphatic
terms, has informed the council that 1t
Is not legal to transfer money from the
general fund. to the school fund. The
comptroller also informed the council at
the same meeting, and after the corpora
ton attorney had given this opinion, that
every cent OF the $4,000 in the insurance
fund had been taken from the general
fund. The aldermen and assembly passed
the ordinance after the opinion Of the
legal department and the statement of
the comptroller had been read and made,
and now the comptroller Is directed to
transfer the $4,000 to the school fund.
Comptroller McCaFdy would not say yes
terday what his course would be.
The committee on schools of the board
OF school inspectors will meet today or
tomorrow to provide for some changes
in the teaching staff which are made nee
essary by the appointment of Miss Thuet
as principal of the Neill school.
Supt. A. ]. Smith, of the city schools,
stated yesterday that If the school board
secured the $4,000 awarded to it by the
city council, he had no doubt that the
board, by rigid economy, would be able
to find a way to run the schools close
enough to the end of the usual school
year to fulfill the requirements imposed
on the high school in the way Of prepar-
ing Its scholars who graduate for admis-
sion to the university and other tnstitu-
TONS
1t was apparent from the remarks of
the superintendent that he anticipated
that the city comptroller would interpose
some objection to the use Of the money
for school purposes.
Secretary Healy is at work on the pay
roll for December, which will be submit
ted to the school committee at this meet
