FILING UNDER PROTEST.
Applications of Dairymen That Are
Called for by Ordinance.

The two inspectors appointed to carry
out the provisions of the new milk ordf-
nance are busy calling on milk dealers
and dairymen and presenting applications
which must be filed with the health de-
partment.
The inspectors report that there are
nearly LOCO places in the city where milk
in quantities from one to twenty-five gal
Ions is sold daily. Nearly 300 of the
dairymen have filed applications for a H.
cense but each and every one have pro
tested against the payment of an inspec
ton fee of 80 cents for each COW.
The retail dealers in milk in the city
have been a trif1e slow in returning the
application blanks to the health Office
and circular letter has been issued no.
tifying them that unless applications are
made and filed at the office within five
days the penalty of having the sale of
milk stopped may be enforced
The letter advises the dealers that in
case the application is properly filed out
and returned to the office the applicant
is entitled to continue the business untiI
the department has acted upon it.

KlEFER'S NEW TANGLE
TIES THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
HAND AND FOOT TO THE
WELZ PROPOSAL
NO CHANCE TO RECONSIDER
He Holds That 1t Requires Ten Days
Notice for Special Meeting of
the Board, and 1t Is Too Late
NOw-Assistant County Attorney
ZOlIman Held Otherwise, but the
Mayor Was Firm.

Unless the mayor changes his mind in
his Interpretation of the law providing
for the calling of special meetings of the
board of county commissioners the reso-
luton passed by the board last Monday
compromising for $1,000 the claim Of the
county against the Allemannia bank will
have to. stand. After calling meeting
of the board for yesterday afternoon the
executive appeared and stated that he
had discovered that the law provided for
a ten days notice to be given before the
holding of a special meeting. Conse-
quently no action was taken in regard to
resembling the compromise resolution and
as the business of the bank must be
closed up by May 27, there will not be
time for further action. Assistant Coun-
ty Attorney Zollman held that the special
meetings might be called at days
notice, but the mayor proved unwilling
to recede from his position.
All the commissioners were present
when the board met at 4 o'clock, except
Commissioner Wright, and Moses E.:
Clapp and Edward Vanish were on hand
to explain the position taken by the
bondsmen and by the bank
The proposition of Col. Welz, Oh behalf
Of the bondsmen was that the county
should accept $1,000 and in return release
the .hondsmen and give them an assign
ment Of the balance of the county's claim
of $21, 900. Through a misunderstanding
the compromise resolution instead of pro-
viding for the assignment arranged for
the taking of deficiency judgment for
u, yf.a.a m
the bondsmen and to a number OF the
members of the board.
Every one settled down to business with
the expectation that it would take about
ten minutes to rescind the former reso-
luton and adjourn. Commissioner Har-
dick moved that the board proceed With
It's business.
Then the mayor sprung surprise by
remarking that he called the meeting to
order under protest. Ee had found upon
looking up the authorities that no special
meeting could be called without notice
of ten days having been given. General
Ciapp produced d large law book and
argued to the opposite and was backed up
by all the commissioners, but the mayor
remained obdurate and the board finally
adjourned on motion Of Commissioner
Lott.
Then everybody went up to the county
attorneys office and Mr.. Zollman after
an investigation into the subject, declared
the mayor to be wror g.
81 cannot understand what the mayor
meant by calling this meeting to inform
us that he had no power to call it," said
Commissioner Gray. 1T is certainly q
most remarkable proceeding. This opin-
ion was echoed by other members of the
board and Commissioner Hardick In par
ticular was very indignant, as he pointed
1oto 70 orIxy Tor

be. wound. LID MAY o.

FOR SALTWATER LOOP,
Some Of the Assemblymen Insist
That Wabasha Will Do.

Unless President Kirke and -Messrss AL,
brecht and Thompson, Of the assembly.
change their views. the ordinance allow
Ing the street railway company the use
Of Cedar street between Seventh and
Eighth streets will hot pass that body:
The trio of asselnbiy1nen are opposed
to allowing the company tho use of the
street for several reasons. One is that
Cedar street Is the only outlet by which
a competing line OF street railway could
get to the center of the city, and 1t is
feared that If the Twin City Transit COM
pany is allowed on the street there would
be some trouble in giving another COM
pany a franchise at some future time.
There Is also objection to having the
street, which Is now being paved, dis
figured. even for one block with a street
car track The street will in the nexth
month be paved from Sec ond street to
Como avenue and will make a fine drive
way TO Como park and popular street
for cyclists.
President Kirke has suggested plan
by which the Saltwater cars can turn off
Seventh street at Robert and go around
the present loop. His idea is to extend
the present switching track used by the
1nterurban cars on Robert street from
in front of the Ryan hotel to Eighth
street, and he contends that this would
give the Saltwater cars plenty of room
to make the turn at Seventh and Robert
streets
Assemblymen AIbrecht and THOMPSON
are IN favor Of the Saltwater cars being,
operated up Seventh to Wabasha street
and the turn being made at the intersec-
ton OF these streets. The street railway
company claim that this would be dam
gerous to the operation Of not only the
saltwater cars but to those on the other
lines. The aSSembiymen, however argue
tnat with the saltwater cars only operat-
ed every fifteen minutes the turn could be
made and the expense would be nothing
more than the salary paid to a switch
man at the intersection
Vice President Goodrich of the street
railway company, stated yesterday that
If the council did not allow the use of
Cedar street for a loop the Saltwater
the patrons of the line could transfer to
ton, however, is said by the assembly
men who are opposing the Use of Cedar
street to be In the nature of a bluff, in
order to have the business men of Sew
enth and other streets use their influence
to push the Cedar street ordinance
through.
The ordinance will be discussed at an
adjourned meeting of the assembly
Wednesday evening, at which time AS
semblyman Benson will offer an amend
ment providing that the track on Cedar
street be located in such position that
room will be left On the street for an ad-
ditional track If at any time another COM
pany should want to use the street as an
outlet for new street car line.
