of City Engineer Claussen, but will
than one head TO suffer, and possibly
bondsmen may be asked to assist in set
ting what criminal carelessness has
caused the city to lose. Roll padding, the
report will say, has existed and the city
has suffered severely, due more than any
thing else to the authority conferred on
street commissioners by the council,
which gives them temporary custody of
the checks of men under their charge.
The ease with which those checks can
be cashed, permits the use of fictitious
names on the pay roll, the revenue from
which the commissioner, If he SO wills,
and which the report says has been done
in some instances-can pocket.
Swanson LIS Not Insane.
Swanson" said Gen. Pope last night,
does not appear to me as crazy man.
He was at my of11ce this week and seemed
rational in every way. My Investigations
of his career as street commissioner did
not convince me that he was an employs
to be trusted and recommended to City
Engineer Claussen that he be removed.
The report will diagnose his case thor
oEghly.''
The report Is a vo1uninous type-writ
ten document, and contains things that
Will be a surprise when made public.
The report Will not criticise City I'm
gineer Claussen, in fact, Mr.. Pope says
the engineer is entirely biameless. He
thinks he Is an efficient city official, and
IL not backward in saying SO.

ST. PAUL is GROWING
LARGE INCREASE TN IMPROVE
MENTS OVER LAST
OTTO cLAUssEN's REPORT
Proves Need of Larger Appropria-
ton for Street and Sewer
WOrIx-Fund Should Be
$4,000 Larger.

City Engineer Claussen'S report for 1yel
which is now being prepared, will show
some large increases in city improve
ments, notably sewers. Owing to the in
crease in the cost of labor. and the
natural advance in the cost of sewer COIL
struction, Improvements in this line are
double what they were last year.
Last year ST. Paul was credited with
175 miles of sewers and drains. This year
the figure Will come nearer to 200 miies,
not to speak of the man holes and catch
basins, which were added to the number
already in existence, about 1000.
Another Improvement that shows vast
strides over previous years is cement
sidewalks This years additions should
give ST. Paul about It's miles of cement
walks, 300 miles of wood walk and ABOUT
miles of gravel walks. OF the later,
last year there was only five miles IN
existence, but the area is being gradually
reduced.
Paved streets is the only Improvement
that suffers this year when compared
with other years. True, there is an III
crease, but it is decidedly small. Last
year the improvements in this line repre-.
scented an expenditure of about $150O0o,
but the amount when tabulated this time
will be found not to exceed 100000.
The report, which Mr.. Claussen will Is
sue shortly, will go far toward Supstan-
tiating the position he has taken, that the
city is growing, and more money is need
ed to care for improvements made from
year to year. This appeals especially in
the case of paved and unpaved streets.
and the sweeping of the same. For
sweeping, St. Paul inficts a tax of about
sc cents on every man, woman and child
in the city, while in New York the figurs
is nearly $1.95. Sewers demand constant
flushing and repairs.
Mr.. Claussen is now asking that his
street, sewer and garbage fund be in
creased from SITS, 600 to S25O,O0O, but it i.
hardly likely that the charter commits
sion will stand for the latter figure. In
stead of placing a fixed limit, the com.
mission seems rather to prefer a measure
that would allow expansion, such as so
much per capita, or per l.neal miles OF
streets and sewers. There is every
reason to believe that in five years $25O.0eo
VIII be as inadequate as SITE, 900 is now.

OFFICER IS IS DISMISSED.
JOHN HAYEK LET OUT FOR UNBE-
COMING CONDUCT.

The police commission held meeting
yesterday afternoon, and after investi-
eating the charges of M. Shapiro, who
owns a saloon at Seventh and Olive
streets, made against Officer John Hayek.

Mr.. Shapiro made charges Of drunkeIl-
ness against him.. for conduct unbecoming

officer several drinks that night, and when.
he finally refused him any more unless he
paid for them, Hayek became angry and
raised a disturbance at his place.
On the other hand, the officer said
Shapiros place was frequented by women
after closing hours, and that he simply
came into the saloon and ordered them
to leave the place and go home, When
Shapiro jumped on him and told him he
was running the place. The commission
directed Chief O'Connor to investigate the
charges that women frequented Shapiro's
saloon and that he was running disor
DERBY place. The chief will report the re-
suit of his Investigations at some future
meeting.
Officer Thomas Mooney, of the Prior.
avenue station, was also on the carpet,
on charges preferred against him by Will
liam Willige, who charged the officer
with conduct unbeconing an officer and
drunkenness 1t was claimed that Of
tcer Mooney had fired his recover four
lines, without proyocation, near the Tort
Smelling bridge, at a boy named Frank
Doyre whom he was chasing. The lad
testified that the officer was talking to
a boy friend of his, and that he finally
told him to come on, rs the officer had
talked long enough to him. On the other
hand, Officer Mooney testified that he was
waiting on the corner, near Harris place,
for car when a man owning a rig
which was standing across the street
aceosted him and said his lap robe had
been stolen. officer Mooney had seen
the Doyre boy in the vicinity of the rig,
and thinking that he know something
about the robbery, he looked for him and
finally saw the boy peepi1g around the
heild1ng. He started across the street
and young Doyre ran, and he fred his
revolver in the air to try and scare the
lad. The commissioners decided to fine
him 500 to warn him to be more carotid
about discharging his revolver In the III
ture.

certain that Canada has band that will
compare favorably with the leading or
CARNATIONS of it's kind in this country.
Aside from the band, there IS d vocal
choir of twenty. A good Indication of the
choir's popularity is the fact that at ev-

Douglas will ask the appointment of two

The amount originally due the state was
$4,000, but this will be materially re-
duced by collections made and assets re-

Attorney Butts. for George w. Sinks,

not been lawful, and refuses to issue the
permits According to DR.. Ohage's story,
Sinks would visit people with orders TO
do scavenger work, and threaten to nave
them arrested unless they signed the
order.
The case was up last Saturday and Az
torney Butts said at that time that the
health department was trying to ruin
Sinks business. He was cautioned by the
court not to use violent language ana
subsidized. Butts was in something of =
