County Attorney Asked as to the
Validity Of Special School Tax.
The question of including the mill and a
half special levy for the school fund pro-
yided for by the last legislature in the
general levy was yesterday referred by
County Auditor Johnson to the county at
torney with the request that the latter
consult with the attorney general before
rendering an opinion. In regard to the
matter County Auditor Johnson said yes
terday:
81 have just received letter from
the city clerk requesting me to extend
against the taxable property Of the coun-
ty a levy for. the purpose of raising $112,-
600 independently, OF, any other sum raised
and for school, purposes. L have imme-
diately addressed a4letter~ to the county
attorney calling ibis attention to the fact
that while they ask for this to be raised
Independently of and in addition to other
use of the books prepared for that pur-
pose I find that the. tax must be in

In view of the fact that the CORPORA

the constitutionality,o of the law providing
for the special tax of one and half

the question and advise me. Personally

ON The RAGGED EDGE
CITY INSPECTORS WILL BE
THROWN OUT BY THE PUBLIC
WORKS BOARD
EXPENSE LIST Is TOO HIGH
At Any Rate That Is the Judgment
of, Comptroller . MeCardy, and
President Pottgieser Intimates
That the Bark of the Watchdog
Is Warning Enough to Suit
Him.

. The board of public works and the city
engineer will today take action Whleh
will result in the discharge of several
persons who have been holding down jobs
as inspectors in various branches of pub
lie improvements. The matter was caiieu
to the attention of the board by let
ter addressed to President Pottgieser, OF
the board of public works, yesterday ait
ernoon. The epistle was from Comptrol-
Ter McCardy, and read as follows:
your attention is respectfully invited
to the fact that the fund for the pay OF
inspectors of public work is nearly ex-
hausted. There is not enough money to
meet another pay roll like the one paid
today, and you are respectfully requested
to reduce the force, especially that part
Of the force which had for It's duties that
of inspecting the manufacture OF sloe-
walk tile by private firms. There does
not seem to be any legal authority for
this kind of inspection by the city, there
fore. after this date no pay rolls for that
purpose can be audited
President Pottgieser, seen last evening,
said the matter had not been taken up
as yet by the board, but would probably
be considered at a meeting today The
pay roll for thirty inspectors on street
paving, sewers, street sprinkling, side
walk inspection and other improvements
for August was $1,000. President Pott-
gieser said he realized that as the pay
rolls for the inspectors was paid out or
the street and sewer maintenance fund
that there was need for retrenchment,
and particularly 50 as the fund was likely
to be short this year.
The particular point made by the comp
troller as to the payment of inspectors
who were engaged in inspecting the man
ufacture of cement tiles in plants of pri-
vate contractors, President Pottgieser
said, was we'll taken. 1t was all right
for the city to have an inspector in the
plant of the firm having the city con-
tract, but the payment of money from
the city treasury for the benefit of pri-
vate firms was all wrong.
There are five inspectors engaged in
this line of work and they are being paid
$50 per month. An effort was made some
weeks ago to have an ordinance passed
which would make the private contractors
who put down cement sidewalks pay for a
permit for each sidewalk laid with the
understanding that the amount received
from these fees would go toward paying
the inspectors. The ordinance, however,
was killed in the assembly.

Maj. Pond is collecting magazines and
paper covered literature to send to the
Third United Sta tes infantry, now at Ma
Mia. He recently received a letter from
his son at Manila stating that anything
in the shape of reading matter was worn
out with use by the men, as it was very
difficult to procure anything in English
to read. This being the rainy season,
the men are shut up in the barracks, and
books and magazines would; he says, be
gratefully received.
Maj. Pond asks that any one having
books that they would donate for this
purpose send them to. the army build
ing and he will gladly see that they are
forwarded to Manila. A similar appeal
was made while the Eighth regiment was
in Cuba resulting in eight large boxes of
literature being collected.

STILL HIS GUARDIAN
JUDGE BAZILLE DENIES ALFRED
8. KITTSON'S PETITION FOR
FREEDOM
GUARDIAN OPPOSED TO IT

e. s. Durment Said His Ward Had
Not Confided in Him the Reasons
Recfted In the Plea to the Court
The Old Plan VIII Be Continued
for Time-vioIet *. KittsOn
Joined In Petition.
Judge Bazille yesterday denied the Pc
tition Of Alfred S. Kittson and Violet K.
Kittson for the restoration Of Alfred s.
Kittson to competence. Mr.. Kittson
thought that he was capable of managing
his own affairs to the extent Of being
permitted to go into business for him
self, but the court held otherwise, after
an extended hearing.
The petitioners were represented in
court by John w. Willis, and e. 8. Dur
ment, the guardian, appeared in opposi-
tion. On the stand Kittson told the court
that experience had taught him the error
of his former ways, and that he wanted
to go into business for himself. and to
this end wished the removal Of his guard
ian, e. s. Durment.
The latter, on cross-examination, elic-
tied the fact that Kittson had not In
formed his guardian of his desire to en-
gage in business, nor had he ever con-
suited with him In any way.
Mrs. Kittson related the circumstances
that led to the appointment Of the guard
ian, and urged that her husband was not
addicted to gambling or drinking. Fur
thermore. he evineed a strong desire to
work. and she believed him fully compe-
tent to manage his property. She asked
for an allowance Of $166 per month for
housekeeping purposes, and stated that
she had been living within an income of
SLIGO per month.
The guardian told the court that $4,000
belonging to the estate remained in his
hands, and he believed the allowance for
expenses should be in excess Of $780,
The court denied the petition for the
discharge of the guardian and Mrs. Kit
son appeared very much distressed at the
decision.

COMMISSION MEN KICK.
They Do Not Like the New Law on
Prairie Chickens

Executive Agent Beutner is unpopular
with the commission men of the city.
The law prohibiting the dealing in prairie
chickens in the market has been vigor-
ously enforced by the commission and
whenever eny seizures have been made
the birds have been disposed Of to the
restaurants and hotels, although the COM
mission men have been anxious bidders.
Several hundred dozen chickens have been
seized since the season opened two weeks
ago, and as the birds bring a fancy price
and are in good demand the commission
men have been unable to reap the profits
that they have in the past secured from
this source.
Mr.. Beutner explains his action in re-
fusing the sale Of chickens to commission
men, as the only safeguard to prevent a
general violation of the law. If the birds
were sold to the commission men they
would use 1T as guise for dealing In
game that was illicitly smuggled in. AS
it is, If any commission man is found
dealing in chickens, 1t is known that the
birds are Illegally on the market
