POPE'S FINAL REPORT
MENDATIONS ON CITY DEPART
MENTS THIS WEEK

The report of the public examiner on
the various city departments of st. Paul
is practically complete, and will be pre-
sented to the council within day or two.
The investigation of all the departments,
with the exception Of the park hoard,
was conducted by Assistant Edward Fck-
man, and has been very complete. Every
department receives considerable atten-
ton in the report. The report is not
made in a spirit of criticism, but rather
of suggestion, and contains several rec
concentrations which are thought to be
worthy Of consideration and acceptance
That part of the report which deals
with the question of liquor licenses con-
tainS extended recommendations concern
ing a revision of the present method.
The examiner believes that by slight
changes in the departments OF the city
treasurer, city clerk, police commission
and license inspector, the city would
have a much better system. A statistical
report is filed showing that during the
past year saloons in St. Paul were in
operation GIG days between the date of
the councils approval of application for
license and the payment OF the license
to the city, and nearly 10000 days with
out license or bonds. The interest on the
money thus withheld from the city dur
ing this time, at per cent, would amount
over S0UU per year. Lie eAdiilHeI kS-
lieves that in addition to the saving OF
that amount there would be decided
advantage in the systematic keeping of
the various records if the saloons paid
their licenses at the time of their sp-
prevail.
The report will call attention, at some
length, to the matter of the licenses paid
by the street car company. The law pro-
vides that the fee shall be $40 for each
car in operation, and that each car shall
be paid for separately.
This it seems, according to the report.
has not been done, but the company paid
for all cars reported in one bulk sum.
The report states that a street car adj
yertising agency reports that 1t operates
its business on 100 more street cars in
St. Paul than the company has paid for
The examiner says, however, that as
both parties are interested neither fig
ure may be correct. the street car COM
panys return being less than the actual
number Of cars in existence. The report
suggests that If g. provision requiring
each car to bear a metal plate near the
fare register on which appeared tile
number of the car, the number Ct the
license and the date were strictly en-
forced, there would be saving to the
city more than large enough to pay the
salary of all Inspector.

Frozen noses and ears were so com.
mon as to call forth no comment, and
the weather was even more than usually
the topic Of conversation. No serious
cases of suffering from exposure, how
ever, were reported, and the present cold
spell will probably pass without any I'M
toward results.
At o'clock last night an excee lingly
conservative tube Of mercury registered
20 degrees below zero, and by midnight 1t
had crawled down until it was almost
completely hidden in the little round bulb
at the end of the tube, and it was at
least 10 degrees colder than at O'clock

five years ago, however, and Is below
sets a new mark for the new century,
and there is possibility that even this
will be beaten before o'clock this morn
ing, although Mr.. Lyons, who has pro-
vided this little atnospherical treat, is
authority for the pleasing information
that it will be warmer today. He sug-
gested, however, late yesterday afternoon
that it would not be advisable to figure
on any radical change, and stated fur
Their that ear muffs would continue tr

servatory was established In 1876 1879,
1880 and 1884, the silver fluid crawled down
to a lower point, but that is poor conso-
lation and does not alter the fact that the
furnace is calling for more coal.
At Minnedosa yesterday it registered
"a degrees below, which is the coolest re-
ported In the Northwest. At Moorhead
it was 80 below, Duluth rs below, Miles

Mr.. Lyons Excuses.
When seen yesterday Mr.. Lyons had
the following to say In explanation of
his conduct in the matter of weather:
at Is central over Northern Minnesota
and the line of zero temperature extends
down to st. Louis. The temperature is
from to 80 degrees below zero this morn
ing from the Rocky mountains to Lake
Michigan. It is u to A degrees colder
over all of the region mentioned, includ-
ing the Mississippi valley and the gulf of
Mexico. Light rain or snow has fallen
from the upper lake region to the New
England coast"
Its so dashed sudden" remarked a
citizen on a Selby car yesterday morn
ing as he tried in vain to smoke his after
breakfast cigar through without renlov-
ing it from his lips, and the crowd
voiced his sentiments. It has been SO
mild that people did not seem to realize
until yesterday that the cold weather was
actually here, and when they did there
was a general murmur of disapproval.
The traffic on the street cars was I'M
usually heavy, and the pedestrians, even
down town, were noticeably few. The
merchants are there with tole OF
trouble about Christmas shopping falling
off, and the only men in town who are

Among these are one or two parts of the
city charter. The charter itself is not
elastic enough. While 1t limits the
amount to be expended for different parts
Of the city's improvements, it is some
times the case that this limitation Is
not for the best interests of the city
The charter allows an expenditure of but
slo5,000 on sewers and street improve
ments. Last year that amount was used,
and it would have been possible to have
used SIS, 900 more. and the money would
have been well used. The charter is not
elastic enough to permit the full growth
Of the city.

For two years, st. Paul has not ex-

enjoying the past two days, yet despite
this fact the st. Paul water department
has received few complaints of frozen

pipes were reported out of service, an
unprecedented record when it is known
that at times fully 200 such complaints
have been placed on file on an exception

TRAINS WE'RE DELAYED.
One to Six Hours Late Was the Rule
All Day Yesterday.

OHe 10 SIA HOurS Late was the Rule
All Day Yesterday.
Yesterday was a bad day for train
service, especially in the Northwest por-
ton of the country. At 5 o'clock last
night there were fourteen trains from
four to six hours late, due at the Union
station. This delay Is due to the in
tense cold, which renders 1t almost i'm
possible for the firemen on the lccomo-
tives to keep enough coal in the fire box
to make the necessary steam.
The passenger locomotives that pulled
into the depot last night and yesterday
looked like engines from some fairy land,
So white were they with frost Icicles
chung to the parts of the engine where
the exhaust and water usually runs off.
and within the cabs the trainmen were
wrapped in the warmest possible gar
ments, and even then they suffered to
some extent from the cold. There has
not been such general delay of passen-
ger trains for years.
The train bulletin at the Union depot
is completely covered with delayed trains
on every road. The trains from the
Northwest probably were in worse con-
dftion than those from any other part of
the country. The cold spell came down
from that part Of the country. and it hit
some of them before it reached St..
Paul. The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern coast trains due at 7:45 a. m.
were six hours late, and the Great North
ern train from Winnipeg was three hours
behind schedule
Trains from Omaha and Chicago were
from three to five hours late during the
day, and the fast mail trains that are
supposed to arrive at little after in
the afternoon, did not get in until after
8 o'clock last night. The Wisconsin Cen
trail train from Chicago was the most
fortunate, as 1t arrived only ffty-dye
minutes late
The passengers on the trains say they
did not suffer from cold, and in MANY
cases did not know it was so chilly until
they got off the train here. The trains
are all steam heated and for the most
part fitted with double windows.
