McARDY's VIEW OF CHARTER
Comptroller Claims Contracts Com
menced Before Papers Are Sign
ed Should Not BE Paid
for by City.

According to the charter, contractors
who commence work before the contracts
are properly signed, can have no recourse
for work done prior to that period. This
is the contention raised by Comptroller
McCardy. 1t received publicity yesterday
when the final estimate of the Barber
Asphalt company for the paving Of
Arundel between Holly and Mackubin
streets, came up before the assembly
committee on ways and means for con-
sideration.
The work was done last August, the
company unaware of the charter pro-
vision, and tired of waiting for the final
signature of Mr. McCardy to the con-
tract went ahead and tore up the street
in order that the work might be COM
pleted within the specified time. Between
the time operations were commenced and
Mr. McCardy affixed his name to the con-
tract, work to the value of 81, 400 had been
done and this Mr.. McCardy informed the
committee should be deducted. In addi-
ton to Arundel, several other streets
were included in the contract and as the
work was not completed within the spe-
CITED time, Mr. McCardy also insisted
that $415 should be deducted in addition
to the first named amount.
The estimate entire amounted to $746.I
and this amount the committee decided
to recommend to the assembly for pay
ment the penalties and Mr.. McCardy
contentious being ignored on the ground
that the delay was not really the tault of
the contractors. The contract amounted
to $14,5S71O.
While the committee has decided to
ignore Mr.. McCardy's contentious, that
official will in all probability refuse to
audit the bill when it GENES before him.
II is held that the charter provision cited
by Mr.. McCardy works a hardship to we'll
meaning contractors and was really in-
tended fer q club" to be used in case
the city was being victimized.

speaking of the prospects the company
yesterday, Mr.. Flanagan said:
There is one similar company in
Omaha, one in Kansas City, two in Chi
cago and one in St. Joseph, and all OF
them are well paying institutions. Our
company will affect Minnesota and the
Dakotas in particular. There are farm
ers all over the Northwest who want
to secure young cattle, grow them and
fatten them UP, but who are unable to
do so for lack of funds. We can furnish
these funds and it pays the farmers to
take advantage of the opportunities.
Suppose a farmer buys young steer
and keeps it for couple of years, fat

he gets will be about double what he
paid for it, and he can afford to pay
little interest. People do not realize
what a company like the one just organ
lied can do.
Now. take the immigration. to the
Northwest. Every week the union depot
is crowded with homeseekers, and many
settle in Minnesota or the Dakotas. Most
of these immigrants have just enough
money to start farm and get settled.
They want to raise cattle, bat are hand
icapped for funds. If we find they are
reliable we get the cattle for them, and
thus help to build up their farms and
at the same time the Northwest.
"W. f. Griggs, secretary and treas
urer of the new company, is now in
Omaha and St. Joseph. He is looking up
the methods pursued by the loan COM
panies in those cities, and will undoubt-
edlv bring back many suggestions which
will be of value. We expect to do $780,
900 worth of business yearly"

new BOARD SWORN In.
SCRUPULOUs MEMBER INSISTS ON
OATH BY C{FIEF JUSTICE.

j. w Granger, of Rochester, who is
one of the members Of the new board OF
examiners for optometry, believes that il
a thing is worth doing at all it is worth
doing right and he positively refuses TO
take chances when lit comes to dealing
with legal affairs. Yesterday when the
time came for the members Of this board
to subscribe to their oaths of Office Mr.
Granger was informed with the others,
that the secretary of state was by law
the official before whom this oath should
be taken.
We'll, that may be right said the
man from Rochester, 81 do not know
but it seems to ne that the chief justice
of the state supreme court is the proper
individual to administer the oaths to
state officials and to avoid any danger
of an error 4n the matter, think 1 will
take my oath before the judge
A few moments later the cautious Mr..
Granger was standing before Chief
Justice Start, waiting to be sworn into
service for the state. The chief justice
did not challenge Mr.. Changers position
as it was not a matter of such vital i'm
portance and when asked to administer
the few words which were to make Mr..
Granger a full-fledged state official, did
so.
The Rochester member then proceeded
to the office OF Secretary of State Hansen
to file his papers, certifying that he had
been sworn in. At this juncture he came
again in contact with the fact that the
secretary of state was the special GUS
t0dian of this particular class of oaths
and before accepting Ids certificate Mr..
Hansen exacted another oath of MIR.
Granger.
The board held its maiden meeting in
Gov. Van SAINTS private Office yesterday
afternoon. The organization was per-
formed by electing Alex. Sweningson, Of
Moorhead, president, and C. A. Smell, of
Minneapolis, secretary and treasurer.
The ether members are DR. T. A. Up,
ham, of st. Paul; H NJ. Hitchcock, of
Redwood Falls, and ]. w. Granger, Of
Rochester.
The board took a considerate view of the
work before it, but declined to give out
any further proceedings. This is the
board appointed by the governor in ac-
c0rdance with a law enacted by the legis-
lature at it's last session. The work of
the board Will be to examine and license
all opticians who desire to practice in
this state. These now in business win
not be required to take an examination
before the board, but will be granted
licenses upon application.

mess Discussed.

AT the meeting of the school board last
evening Supt. Lewiston announced In his
report that 869 new pupils had been ad-
mitted during April, the increase in at
tendance for this month over the cor
responding month of last year being 619.
The figures received serious consideration
from the members and were made the
basis of guess that st. Paul is mating
lively strides in population.
According to the statistical report
furnished by Supt. Lewiston the whole
number of pupils enrolled in the public
schools in April was 29034; average num-
her belonging for the month, q .3G3: daily
average attendance, 201O9, and whole
number admitted, 25,l20 The increase in
the average daily attendance over last
month was 723.
The growth in every way is remarkable
and with a continuance Which cannot be
doubted, means q tax On the board and
the city of no small sized proportions, to
keep pace with.
Leave of absence was granted Miss T.
Dougherty, Adams school, and Miss B.
Morgan, Central high school, the latter
to the end of the school year, and Miss
Dougherty from May G. Miss Alice Kelly,
now out on leave, was re-appointed to
the Jackson school, to date from April q,
at salary of S65.
In a communication from the corpora
IiOll attorney, the pOdTu was IILOIIIlSQ
that in the compromise effected with the
Northwestern Telephone company, the
school board was taxed $157.55, and that
hereafter only one free phone would be
allowed. In view of this fact one of the
instruments at the Central high school
was ordered taken out.
From j. W. Shepard was received a.
communication protesting against the I'M
tidy condition Of. the grounds around the
Longfellow school, Prior avenue and
IglehaIt street. He said Merriam Park
residents were attempting to make the
park beauty SPOT, but any effect that
might be obtained was frustrated by the
school grounds, which were disgraceful.
He recommended that a cinder play
ground be provided and the children kept
off the grass. The matter was referred
to Superintendent of Buildings Gerlach,
Bills amounting to $15321S5 were ap-
proved and allowed. OF this amount
$4,000 was for coal furnished.

ment above, and he adds that the plans
originated with the physicians and it
is now UP to them, as they will receive
years ago, according to Rev. Haupt, that
ST. Luke's hospital was moved from its
site on Eighth street, near Minnesota
owing to cramped quarters, and it is now
again time for another enlargement Of
the hospital. He thinks there should be
no sectalianism about the new institu-
ton, and that 1t would manlfestly be q
great waste 1ofomeney to duplicate such
an institution as ST. LulSes. A general
hospital, with ST. Lukes as the nucleus
would fill wider field, and he does not
fear opposition from the clergy of the

This afternoon the board of county
commissioners will meet to again con-

for jail site purposes, County Attorney
Kane being scheduled to have a report
OH the title for their consideration.
M. D. Mum, attorney for Mrs TarboX,

in possession of sufficient releases Of
judgments by today to practically give
the county clear title, but Mr.. Kane
has nothing more tangible beyond this.
AS to the other claims similar promises
have been made. With these even re-
moved the county cannot obtain imme-
diate possession of the property as the
tenants have not yet been notified and
this would at least require ten days.
To the commissioners the delay Is irk-
some and it is understood there are sew

transaction and going after another site.
