City Controller Johnson fondled a draft
for $49. 240 yesterday and tossed another one
for $1,000 to one side in careless manner
as he talked about what a person could do
with so much money. The two drafts were

about two months of the year an enormous

does not mean that the shortage is increas-
ing, as fully one-third IL not one-half that
number of cars will be unloaded and ready
to load the next day. The more serious
feature of such a supply of cars would be
that, after being loaded. they would go 10
some division point where there would be
a congestion and there remain several days.
as when business is heavy there is no time

no room for complaint. The 60.0OO-pound-

that no space is unoccupied, and more cars

INVITED TO TAKE A DRINK.


The State Tax Board usually has good
many experiences that unique and
amusing in its hearings of appeals from
the assessments of the many interests that
are placed on the tax duplicates. On Tues
day an all-round railroad attorney from
Chicago made his hard. luck plea for his
line, tackling the board on all the vulnera-
BILE exhibits of the sworn reports and par
rying the interrogatories from the men,
bers of the board with which he was bonn
barded-the tendency of which was to dem
onstrate that liberal section of Repub-
lican prosperity had fallen to the share of
the corporation, and. therefore, he ought
not to complain against the assessment
made by the board With the facility of
an old-timer he finally brought his speech
to a close with a peroration that simply
took away the breath of his listeners. Dur
ing his statement the attorney sought and
was literally supplied with a well-known
brand of ice-water that is made after
favorite recipe of Commissioner Wingate.
When the plea was finished the attorney
closed his peroration with an allusion to
the ancient saying propounded by the Gov
ernor of North Carolina TO the Governor
of South Carolina and said he would ''set
'em up If the board would accompany
him. The Governor of Indiana and the
other members of the board are all teeto-
taiers, and so the invitation was politely
declined. 1t is the first time the board as
a body, was ever asked 10 take drink.

ANXIOUS ABOUT THEIR PAY.


The present financial embarrassment OF
the city treasury is causing some unrest
among the municipal employees for fear
they will not receive their pay the first of
the month If temporary loan is not Sc
cured. City Controller Johnson says there
is nothing to do but await the action of the
Council, which, he says, may be called in
special session before the regular meeting
night, providing a loan is in sight. There
is nothing outside of the minor receipts Of
the city to replenish the depleted treasury
which is not sufficient to raise a sum
equivalent TO the pay rolls of the police
and fire departments when they become
due, or if the monthly obligation is met.
it will sacrifice the last dollar. 1t is said
that If the emergency arises Mayor Tag
cart will draw on his own bank account
to pay off the employees in the two depart
ments of public safety.
Mayor Taggart and Controller Johnson
are pointing 10 the fact that i'm the past
secured to bridge over an immediate en-
barrassment. Mr.. Johnson says that the
November installment of taxes will be suf-
ficient to take up the bonds issued for a
temporary loan, pay the interest and leave
enough In the treasury TO carry the city till
the May installment. This plan. he says.
is the most economical for city. Were
the tax levy high enough to run the city
through the time intervening between the
two tax installments, he says when the in
stallments are paid there would be sur
plus i'm the treasury. which, as Is usually
the case. is expended unwisely. levy
high enough To barely carry the city
through is the best, he says.
