The continual filing Of personal damage
claims against the city is causing some OF
the officials to look to the cause. In
| majority of all cases defective sidewalks is
given as the cause OF the accident. An ef-
fort was made last summer to have as
many permanent sidewalks as possible laid
! in order to prevent to some extent just
such accidents. Owing to the fact that
| contractors could not dispose of such war.
rants there was not as much of this kind
OF work done as had been expected when
bids for permanent sidewalks were asked
| for.
| A great many new walks were laid and
| several hundred dollars spent in repairing
old walksts The great trouble is that In
| certain sections of the city loose plapks
are torn up and carried away to be used
for kindling wood. An effort has been
made from time to time to stop this, but
| the police force is not large enough to
| cover one quarter OF the city and the re-
suit is that portions OF walks are torn UP
| In some part Of the city every day. The
plan OF wiring the planks together when
new walks are laid is being tried and In
some sections the wired walks remain in
tact. Unless very cold weather sets in
the street missioner will most likely
get force of men out and repair as many
OF the old walks as rapidly as possible.
IL this is done very likely number of ac-
cidents can be averted and the city saved
quite sum in damage claims. Every
claim will, however, be contested In the
courts by City Attorney Lambert and in
cases where a judgment is rendered
against the city an appeal will be taken
to the supreme court. This action on the
part of the legal department will, 1t is
thought, tend in a measure to discoura ge
the filing of large claims for damages.
Under the provisions of the new charter
policemen are directed to report to the
street commissioner daily all defects in
sidewalks on their beats. Should this seq
tion be carried out the street commissioner
Will be cognizant at all times of the con-
ditions OF walks and can make immediate
repairs. In this way 1t is thought that
numerous accidents will be nreyented

STORIES THAT CONFLICT.
C"""S'1s reports and Run,ors Rs-
garding the Shipping and
Their Significance

The conflicting stories we have been
getting from Washington for some
time as To the prospects of the pirati-
cal Hanna-Payne bill must be per-
picking to newspaper readers who
take amy interest IN the subject.
Not only do different correspond
ents tell different stories. bur The
same correspondent tells different
stories at different tunes. and some
of them skip from side to side with
bewildering agility. One day the bill
is sure TO be defeated for the session.
The next day il * sure to pass before
the adjournment because a compro-
mise has been reached which * salts
factory to the ants. The third day
the outcome is wrapped in impene-
trable clouds of doubt and uncer-
tainty.
But no one should jump 10 the con-
clusion that the correspondents are

inventing stories for the mere pur-
pose of creating excitement. The
shiftings are natural. not 70 say un-

other influences which are continu-
ally filling the air about the capital
with conflicting sounds. those of one
kind predominatrng one dav and

kind the following day in the same
or different locality.
The struggle is pretty severe. and
there are the alterations of appa-
rent prospects usual i'm sucha cases.

Those who are interested in the
enactment of such thing as the

scrupulous in their regard for truth.
and il Is not in the power of any
correspondent TO run 10 earth every

\ reasonable conclusion from the
conflicting statements and rumors
seems 10 be that the bill would pass
the senate If il could he brought 10
a vote. but that il is unlikely TO be
brought To Il vote because of the open
opposition of many senators and the
secret but hardly less effective oppo-
sition of others who do not care To
seem to antagonize measure which
they know is strongly approved by
the administration.
