Water Mains Delayed

Aid. Meyer brought up the matter OF
laying water mains. He said that
there will not be as much money
available for this purpose as he had
thought when he had voted to buy
pipe. After the June settlement there
will be 81, 1928 63 in the water fund. The
cost of running the pump station dur
ing the summer will be So. $3.50, and for
repairs, etc. 81 1892. This leaves a bal.
ance of So, 235 So. The pipe and lead
ordered foot up to $3,27501. Hydrants
to the amount of S27O have been order
ed. He favored postponing the laying
of the mains until next syear. He
moved that the council reconsider its
action instructing the board of public
works to lay the pipe. This received
no second. and Aid. Taylor moved that
the work of laying the mains be defer
red until further action of the council.
This was carried without opposition.
Aid. Jordan said that he had voted for
the pipe under mistaken idea as to
the amount of money available.

FINED FOR SELLING ALUM BAKING
POWDERS.

Reports in the English papers show
how very exacting the courts of that
country are relative to the sale of bak-
ing powders contai ming alum. All
parties found selling such powders are
summoned into court, and as the health
officers and physicians agree that
alum powders are poisonous when used
in food, convictions and fines invari-
ably follow. The following is from the
London Grocer of May 5:
At Bradford -on-Avon police court,
William Orchard, grocer, Newton,
Bradford; Annie Jones, grocer. Silver
street, Bradford; Edward Mock, grocer,
st. Margaret street, Bradford; and
Ernest Slade, grocer. Bradford, were
all summoned for selling baking pow
der adulterated with alum The pow.
der contained alum ranging from 20 to
81 per cent, and DR.. Thomas, county
medical officer, stated that alum in
baking powder was injurious to health.
1t was used solely to increase the profits
of the manufacturers, and to enable
them to put large packets for the
money on the market. It was especial
ly injurious to the bones of young chill
dreu, and causing their teeth to become
brittle. In each case it was urged that
powder was sold exactly as bought
from the makers; but for the prosecu.
ton it was contended that that was
neither legal defence nor moral ex-
cuse, as it was a BRIDESMAIDS duty to
ascertain whether an article was
genuine. Mr.. Slade, whose sample
contained 81 per cent of alum, was
fined SO and costs, the other defen-
dants were each fined los, including
costs.

THE POLICE NOT VERY
STRONGLY CRITICISED.
The Investigating Committee Presents
Its Report to the Couucil-The Work
of Laying Water Mains is Delayed for
the Lack of Money-The Unauthoriz.
ed Expenditure of Money In Street
Work is Given an Airing.-A General
"Jacking Up"

The meeting of the council Friday
was more than usually interesting.
Mayor Currier presided and all of the
aldermen were present, There was
general hauling over the Goals OF the
city officials, including members OF the
police force, board Of public works,
aldermen, street commissioner, etc.
The aldermen were looking for trouble
and there was warm time generally.
Aid Meyer. for the special commit
tee appointed to investigate the con-
duct of Chief Bruels and Officer Thil-
gen at the Keene-L obdell shooting,
presented verbal report. He said that
the committee found that the police
had failed partly in their duty in not
dispensing the crowd. and should also
have stopped the smashing of the door,
which they had ample time to do. They
should also have been in front OF the
door when the trouble occurred, and
not twelve or fourteen feet away. Still,
there was some excuse for them. Trou-
BILE was all over until Attorney Pau
came and then it became inflamed. The
chief of police seemed to take Mr.. Pau
for some higher authority, and this is
what he ought not to have done, as Mr..
Pau was merely private citizen. Re-
spectacle citizens on their way to din
ner congregated at the place, and the
police probably did not want to cause
them to move on.
Aid. Weed moved that the report be
laid on the table, but this received no
second.
Aid. Meyer said that Aid Weed was
a member of the committee and had
not served, and could make report
for himself if he had any to make.
Aid. Jordan moved that the report of
the committee be adopted, and this was
carried, Aid. Weed voting mo"
Mayor Currier said sarcastically that
he wished to thank Aid. Weed personal
ly for his faithful service in the matter,
in helping the mayor to arrive at con-
clusion on the issue involved.

in when there was crowd, and do not
pay taxes here or donate anything.
When there is chance for the local
men to make something, others come in
and take it away from them.
Mr.. Atchison said that if the local
men are unable to handle the crowd on
Woodmen picnic day they would be
willing to have it repealed.
The committee on ordinances retired,
and soon returned and reported in
favor of holding off until after the
Woodmen's picnic. Last year there
was complaint of over charging at the
Woodmen picnic, and it was thought
best to run no risks this year.
President Porter reported that under
the ordinance the Omaha road is not
obliged to remove its tracks by Spri ng
street. Supt. Spencer had also said
that the road would not remove its
tracks there.
Health Officer Holbrook reported
that the Harper House should be re-
quired to put in sewer connections.
A discussion arose as to the powers
and duties of the health board in re-
gard to condemning cess pools, but it
was without result.
City Attorney Daley read letter
from Supt. Spencer in which he stated
that the Omaha road intends to widen
the street crossings on its right of way
as soon as it is able to do so. 1t is cut
off from its sand pit at present.
On motion of Aid, Jordan, the road
was given reasonable time to do the
work.
Chief of Police Bruels reported "a ar
rests during May and 10 dodgers.
A profile of part of an alley on the
south side of Websters addition was
presented by the city engineer and laid
over to the next meeting.
The bills were allowed, including
$359S0 for street pay roll, S3S.27 for
water works repairs, 800. for sewer
repairs, and $118.63 for parks.
Mayor Currier announced the ap.

To Limit Competition.

Aid. Meyer read an amendment to
the hack ordinance, requiring licenses
in all cases where conveyance is used
to transfer passengers from the depots
or any other places to other points
within the city limits. He said it had
been handed to him and he did not
know whether he favored it or not.
Geo. Atchison stated that this was
intended for the protection of the local
liverymen. On circus days, etc., peo-
plescome from st. Peter and all around
to carry people. The liverymen
and local bus lines can at
tend to all of this business and should
have it. No change is made in the
prices. The ordinance is framed after
the one used in st. Paul. Liverymen
who send rigs only from their barns are
not required to take out licenses.
Mayor Currier said that possibly
when there are large crowds the local
bus men might not be able to handle
the crowds, and this would cause a
hardship.
Martin Wiltgen said that farmers
and people from st. Peter, Garden
City, Lake Crystal and Nicollet came
