as to whether sufficient votes can be Sc
cured in the board of aldermen to carry
the plan through. Aids. BlomQuist,
Knauft and Kenny are known to be op-
posed to the selection of the site, and it
is understood that Aid. Sanborn and
Bantz will not vote for 1t. This will kill
the Eagle street site, although there are
sufficient votes pledged in the assembly
to carry 1t through If it reaches that
body. Aid. Kenny favors the leasing Of
the Constans site, at Tenth, Broadway
and Jackson street, for $500 per year, If
the council will not purchase it. 1t has
been suggested by the Third ward alder
man that the Constans site can be Sc
cured without litigation for $4,000, and 1t
would be much better to place this sum
in the tax budget for next year and have
a market at once than to commence
condemnation proceedings for any other
site and have no market for another
year.
Mayor Kiefer has ben waited on by a.
delegation in the interests Of Detective
Werrick, who has been dismissed from
the detective force for the good of the
service. 1t was pointed out to the mayor
that he was injuring his chances for a
denomination by discharging Werrick
and that 1t was possible that the council
would not concur in his action. The
mayor, however, would not listen to any
arguments along this line. and informed
the delegation that he had made up his
mind and Mr.. Werrick would have to go.
The assembly, at It's meeting Thursday
night concurred, by unanimous vote, in
the action of the mayor in removing both
Detectives Wells and Werrick, without
any discussion It is claimed by friends
Of Werlich that the board Of aldermen
will refer the case Of Werrick to the COM
mittee on police for investigation for the
reason that no charges were preferred
against Werr1ek, and he has had no
chance to defend himself
The mayor announces that he has made
no selections for the two vacancies on
the detectives force In case the aldermen
should concur In his action, and the mat
ter will cleft to Chief Goss, who has
been asked to hand in list Of names.
The idea, as expressed by the mayor, Is
to have the vacancies filed by promotions
from the ranks and new men appointed
as patrolmen.
The st. PanlGa company, in view Of
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-11-19

that the company has, whenever new
lamps have been ordered by the council
taken one of the dead posts in the CEN
trail part Of the city and put it up. By
this means the company secured 81 for
the removal, and added to the total cost
of it's equipment on which s per cent in
terest~is paid annually by the city.
1t is stated that the records for 1898
! show that but four lamps were ordered
removed and a bill Of The company for
$1,000 for removals was paid. Up to date
this year. the removal of $40 lamps are
charged, but before the amount is al
lowed the resolutions ordering them will
be checked up.
The specifications which were recon-
mended by tho joint committees on
streets and On which bids will be asked
for next year have eliminated from them

ference committee by Comptroller Nc
Cardy that the street sprinkling be done

Is to be investigated by a committee con-
sisting Of the corporation attorney, city
engineer and president of the water
board.
Comptroller McCardy was 10th to dis
cuss the matter when questioned yester-
day preferring, he said, to wait until the
committee had submitted it's report. He
declared, however, that there could be a
| great saving to the property owners If
the water department handled the sprink-
ling. He based this statement on the re-
port of Supt. of Parks Mussbaumer, who
reports that the three-fourths of mile
Of Como avenue parkway, between Dale
street and Como park, was sprinkled for
$jl, which would beat the rate Of SOS per
mile. In 1895 tic report of the city en-
gineer shows that 1t cost $3S,3S7 to
sprinkle III miles Of streets, which would
make the cost per mile about 1927. This
sum included S13,60O. which was paid to
the water department by the contractors
for water used. Taking out the cost Of
the water the sprinkling cost $211 per
| mile, This the comptroller says shows
that there Is a good profit in the sprink-
ling business and at the lowest calcula-
ton the city could save from $4,000 to
$4,000, which is now made each year by
the contractors. Even if this amount was
not saved the work would at least be
we'll done, and from the complaints made
by property owners this does not appear
to be the case at present.

STIRRED INSURANCE CIRCLES.
Zen. Douglas Ruling on the Con-
ditionaI Graded Commissions.

Insurance Commissioner O'Shaughnes-
sv Yesterday addressed a letter to George
H. Cram, president of the Western Union
association, calling attention to the opin-
Ion of Cen Douglas on the matter Of
conditional graded commissions to union
fire insurance agents. Mr.. O'Shaugh-
messy concluded as follows: Il therefore
notify you as president Of the assoc1a-
Efon to advise members thereof that 1t
IS the opinion of the legal department OF
this state that a circular letter addressed
TO agents of union companies providing
for payment of increased commissions,
conditioned that they hereafter will not
represent other than exclusively union
companies, Is contrary to the laws there
Of l would ask that you file with this
department in writing to the effect that
The union has excluded Minnesota in the
enforcement Of its rule as to conditioned
graded commissions"
The ruling Of Gen. Douglas caused a
good deal of comment among the fire in
surance agents of st. Paul yesterday. 1t
was said that so far as this city or Min
Aeapolis or any of the larger towns or
the state is concerned, the application
of the conditioned graded commissions
would neither reduce the number of agen-
cies nor raise the rate Of insurance, nor
reduce the amount OF insurance purchaS-
able. 1t simply would result in shifting
of companies, some agencies handling
union companies entirely, and some non
union companies entirely. For instance.
the result in ST.. Paul UP to this time
was ascertained to be as follows:
The St. Paul Fire and Marine has re-
signed the agency Of the Firemen's Of
New York, which goes to B. F. Knauft
who is given the sole agency here. The
S. Greenwich leaves Reeves & Gillian and
goes to J. A. Rogers, who has a union
agency and resigns the American OF
Baltimore. J. H. Adams, Of st. Louis,
was here the other day, and decided to
allow Knauft to have the sole agency or
the American Central. Shandrew & Doc
little have resigned the two on-union
companies the Traders of New York and
the Girard, Of Philadelphia, and these
form the nucleus of a new agency started
by J. FaiTchild.
The matter was called to the attention
of the insurance department by Elmer H.
Dearth. the general agent of the Manhat-
tan Mr. Dearth's company is a nom
union one. When his agents began to
send in notices that 1t was necessary for
them to resign their union companies
something had to be done. Either the
or Mr.. Dearth lose his insurance plant in
the Northwest. But to join the union at
this time, that is since the antitrust law
of last winter was passed, would be a
violation of the law and would bar the
company from the state, so he concluded
to lay the whole question before the in
suranca commissioner with the result al
ready known
