OPPOSED TO THE BILL.
Not Necessary for Firemen to Go to
the legislature.

City Controller Johnson criticises the bill
for the increase Of iremen's pay that will
be introduced in the Legislature, and which
was set out in the Journal yesterday. Mr..
Johnson says it is not necessary for the
iremen to go to'the Legislature to have a
measure passed to increase their pay, as
the city charter provides that the City
Council shall have full power to regulate
the salaries of firemen and also the condi-
lions of their appointment. Fire Chief Bar
rett is also opposed to the bill, and says he
knew nothing about ii or who drew it for
the indianapolis fremen who are working
for its passage. Mr.. Johnson cites Section
50, of the city charter, which says: Said
commissioners (Board of Safety shall APP
point a superintendent of police, chief of
the fire force and all other officers, men,
bers and employees of said fire and police
forces, together with a market master,
station house keeper and other officials
necessary for such department of public
safety. The annual pay of such a~ppointees
shall be liked by ordinance of the Common
Council, and 1t shall be lawful in such ordi-
nance TO grade the members or such
forces and to regulate their pay, not only
by rank. but by their length of service. In
default of any ordinance fixing the compen-
sation for any member of such fire or police
force, said commissioners shall have power
TO fix the same. subject to change by ordi-
nance of said Council. Said commissioners
Of public safety may also fix the number
of members of said police and fire forces.
and the number of appointees for other
purposes. Said commissioners of public
safety shall, in like manner, divide such
city into police precincts and fire districts.
Said commissioners shall also have power
to make and promulgate rules and regula-
tions for the appointment of members
to such forces and for their govern
cao.ioo oc 60 ..E,or- ,oouhar of tba
fire and police force, and all other APP
pointees of the commissioners of public
safety shall hold office until they are re-
moved by the board. They may be removed
for any cause other than politics. and the
written reasons for such removal shall be
entered upon the records of such board"
Mr.. Johnson says he will advocate an or
dinance placing both policemen and fire.
men under a merit system. with civil-serv-
ice examinations as we'll as physical and
moral qualifications.

TOO FAST FOR THEM.


When Manager Watkins, of the Indian
apolis Baseball Club, conceived the idea
of promoting a woman's bicycle race in
Indianapolis Christmas week he desired to
secure some of the riders who are partici-
pating in Eastern races. He corresponded
with them and when he informed then,
that the conditions OF the indianapolis race
will include a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. limit
on the riders the Eastern riders refused TO
enter the contest. The race held in Brook
lyn last mont,s mad a limit OF sixteen miles
an hour. and some of the riders were only
able TO cover the limit. They realized they
would stand no show for one OF the first
prizes in the Indianapolis race and did not
enter. The women who will ride at Tom
linson Hall next week are all capable OF
doing about twenty-five miles an hour, and
ali will keep within the limit, barring ac-
cidents. The race will open Christmas
afternoon and will continue two hours each
evening. and will be for the
twelve hours championship.
The entries are Title Andersen, Lizzie
CLAW. Mile. Lisette and Mollie and Edna
la Tour. who are the fastest candidates
for the championship title. Reserved seats
viii be placed on sale at Huder's drug
store Saturday morning.

THE WORKS BOARD.
Charles III. Stuckmeyer the Lowest
bidder on sweeping.

BtG0er on sweeping.
When the Board of Works opened bids
yesterday for the sweeping of improved
streets next year it was found that there
were only three bidders, while many more
had been expected. Charles III. ~Stuckmeyer
was the lowest bidder, his bid being 1914
cents for each 10000 square feet of surface
swept each day. Mr.. Stuckmeyer has the
contract this year at the same price. The
other bids were: Capital Sweeping Com
pany. 20 cents; a. +. Shower, % cents. The
board did not award the contract, as Mr..
Smith was absent. but it was virtually
agreed that Mr.. Stuckmeyer will receive
the contract. The specifications for next
years sweeping included about two and
one-half miles more of improved streets
than were swept this year, and the appro-
priation for the entire work is SIS, 600,
against $50. coo for 1900. Next year the city
will have to pay fun price for sweeping the
pavement between street car tracks.
The board sent a request TO City Attorney
Kern yesterday asking for a written opin-
ion on the right OF the board to deduct
from the Hoosier Construction Company's
bill for the work done on the Illinois-street
bridge the cost of paving between the street
car tracks. Not long since the board or
dered the company to pave between the
tracks. and also ordered the street-car COM
pany to do the work. The construction
company claims the paving between the
tracks was never included in the contract,
and therefore the cost of performing 1t
should not be deducted from their contract
price.
The board approved the assessment roll
for the asphalt pavemen on New Jersey
street, from South to Merrill street.
