My investigation established beyond

effects Of stray electric street railway
currents, exists in all parts of st. Paul.
It. is found in the almost complete
destruction OF surface pipes. the deter

where removal of dirt and CRIME ar

ALL BIDS ARE REJECTED
CONTROVERSY OVER WHITEHALL
STREET SEWER ENDED.

The controversy over the award of
a contract by the board of public works
for a sewer on Whitehall street was
brought to a finish yesterday by the
board rejecting all the bids and ordering
a readYertising.
The contract was awarded to p. H.
TEornten over the protest of Chris john
son, who claimed that he was the lowest
bidder. Johnson carried the matter to the
council and there succeeded in holding
the award up. The council gave orders
that the job should be given to Johnson,
but the board preferred to begin the af-
1air over again and call for new bids.
All the bids received for sewer on
Stryker avenue were rejected, because
they were considered too high. The en-
gineer estimated the cost at s1,346. and
the lowest bid was 81, 484

NO QUORUM IN SIGHT
FRANCHISE OF NORTHERN MANU-
FEATURING COMPANY HUNG UP
Assembly Committee = on Streets
Failed to Meet to Consider It
Two Franchises Now
Pending.

Three months ago the Northern Manu-
featuring company, with a local direc-
tory, but capitalized in the East made
application through the council for a
heating franchise. but so far their ef-
forts have been without await. Last night
a meeting of the assembly committee on
streets was called to consider the project.
but quorum failed to materalize, and
the ordinance granting the much desired
franchise was again hung UP. Only AS
semblymen Whitcomb, Craig and Ben
son appeared.
AS competitor to the Gas and Edi-
son companies, which are alone in the
heating business, the Northern Manu-
featuring company was the first to enter
the field, but for some reason have made
little progress with the council in con-
vincing them that they mean business.
1t was only after the company had shown
the source of it's capital, the American
District Heating Company of Lockport,
N. Y, that it was given any considera-
ton.
The Northern Manufacturing company
may yet prove formidable thorn in the
side of the Imperial Manufacturing COM
pany. a local concern which is now max
ing efforts to secure a franchise for both
heating and lighting. The Lockport con-
Germ claims there are only two systems OF
heating that could be used in this city,
the Court or vacuum and the Holly sys-
TENS, and they control the latter, which
is protected by large number of patents.
The Court system. the Northern COM
pany holds, is not very good
In both bodies of the council there is
Just now an unmistakable inclination to
load down the Imperial franchise with
burdensome requirements, and it Is SAID
,,nl,a nsall o
for the naming of the particular system
to be used will be asked. It's request has
so far received the full sanction of the
board of aldermen though not without
impositions that may call for modifica-
ton before the company will accept the
ordinance. The assembly is yet to be
sounded.

DOG DOES Subjective ACT
CANINE FINDS MRS. sNYDER's MISS
ING HUSBAND.

Mrs. George Snyder. of Sioux City,
auarreled with her husband and as q
result he left home, telling her that she
would never see him again. He came to
st. Paul and few days later Mrs.
Snyder, regretting their parting, fol-
lowed him to persuade him to return to
His home. She reported the case to ths
police and asked them to assist her to
locate the man. Detective DAILY was de-
tailed on the case and hunted two days
for the man, but was unable to locate
him.
When Mrs. Snyder came to the city
she brought with her black water
spaniel that was favorite with her
husband. She had about given up all
hope of finding her husband as the police
were unable to locate him. Sunday
afternoon she went out for walk, TAX
ing the dog with her. On Sixth street
the dog began to bark and ran ahead Of
her. She was afraid that he would be
lost in the city and FASTENED to find him.
As she turned the corner at Wabasha
street she found the dog playing around
a man who proved to be the missing
husband. He was glad to see his wife
and all their difficulties were adjusted.
When the party of three left for Sioux
Falls yesterday morning it was hard to
tell which of the three was the most
pleased over the reunion, the man, the
woman or the deg.

BLOCKS ARE TO BE USED.
SEVENTH STREET TRACKS WILL

puolic works named macadam as the ma

granite the legal department held would

In acting contrary to the wishes of the
department Mayor Smith held that it
WAS barely possible that any property
holder would object to the substitution
of material vastly better and costiier than
lie had originally asked or hoped for.
On Wabasha and other streets substitu-
ton had been allowed and there was no
protest. Mayor Smiths views in the
matter Were substantially those of a ma
jority of the members of the two bodies.
