TROUBLE OVER CONTRACT
Council Said To Have acted Illegally
In Matter Of Cremarory Work

sbannard c. McCloskey's contract
with City Council to keep the city
crematory in repair for one year, at a
cost OF $1,000. IN all probability will be
declared void by City Council at It's
next meeting. The reasons are that
Council cannot contract for work cost
ing more than $50 unless by advertis-
ing and receiving bids; that the con-
tract does not bear the approval OF
Mayor Fahey. and that Council cannot
anticipate repairs to the crematory.
The reason given by the CrematOry
Committee for making the contract
Is that the amount to be paid is sew
eral hundred dollars less than was
paid for repairs on the crematory last
year. AS a matter of fact, repairs on
the crematory last year cost $l,34S.54,
and the material for the repairs ST.
05l, making q total OF $2399.54 spent
for repairs last year. lt was said last
year, after repairs were made. that the
crematOry was i'm good condition and
would need no additional repairs for a
long time to come.

Discuss Chinese Requests.

Picking, Jan. 2a.-Tuesday the for
eign ENJOYS discussed the requests of
the Chinese plenipotentiaries, especial
ly in the matter punishment, and ex-
empted Isl Lien and Isl Wing, asbeing
less guilty than the others. The reply
to the Chinese note will be delivered
Thursday. 1t will emphasize the point
that the signing of the agreement will
be without value unless good faith is
shown by acts and that it will be abso-
lutely useless to expect the removal of
troops or concessions on the part of
ihc allies until China has conclusively
proved her good intentions.
