Keepers remark that she was in the wrong
place Again the bookkeeper attempted to
impress upon the woman the fact that she
was out of her moorngs, and that he could
not accommodate her with ticket, but the
woman did not appear to pay any attention.
Leaving the 500 bill on the counter she
seated herself in a chair and concentrated
her gaze on the street. Picking UP the
money the bookkeeper left his desk, crossed
over to where the woman was seated and
handed her the bill again, telling her 1t was

Treasurer May Take His Chances.

City Attorney Wadsworth gave II as his
opinion yesterday that, while City Treas
urer True might legally distribute among
the property owners entitled to 1t the
money deposited by the motor company for
the paving on South Main street without
Instructions from the city council, 1t was
doubtful II he would be wholly safe in doing
so. He said: while as far as can see
there is nothing in the law requiring any
action on the part OF the city council be-
fore the city treasurer could make dis
tribution OF such money, very much ques-
ton the advsability OF him doing so.
Questions might arise as to the proper
parties entitled to the money and tho city
treasurer would be on the safe side II he
only paid out orders from the city
| council The people who paid for the paw
| ing on Main street are certainly entitled
to their shares and 1t does look to me as
| II some arrangement should be reached
without their having to appeal to the
courts whereby the money might be dis
| tributed The property owners can either
mandamus the city treasurer or the city
council TO compel them to disburse this
money and am informed they will do &c
II there is much more delay In the mat
ter"
The law on the matter Is contained II
section 800 OF the COue, WnlCu lb ds ioiioWS
| Before any street railway company shal
lay its tracks upon any street that has beel
paved and which at the time is not beinl
repaved. II shall pay into the city treasur!
the value OF all paving between hs track
and one foot outside hereof, which valu
shall be determined by the city council, bu
in no case shall exceed the original cost o
the paving. and the money thus paid shal
be refunded TO the abutting property owner
on said street in proportion to the amount
originally assessed against the propert
abutting thereon"
At the time the motor company first con
templated laying its second track on Sout
Main street it filed with the city council
written request that the value of the payin
be determined. This was done by the cit
council and the amount fixed at A,999 II
This the company has rendered, but the cit
council has refused 10 accept. some c
the aldermen have raised the question c
the motor company's right to the use OF tn
street. The motor company asserts that th
track was laid under the franchise OF tn
Suburban company and not by the old com
