PHONES FOR CITY HALL
TWIN CITY COMPANY WILL OFFER
TO INSTALL COMPLETE

WILL ALSO FURNISH OPERATOR
Work to Begin as Soon as the Offer
of the Company Is Accepted
VIII Facilitate Communities
ton Between Offices.

The Twin City Telephone company, late
the Mississippi Valley, will shortly make
to the city hall and court house COM
mission 4 proposition to establish a
telephone exchange in the building under
their charge.
The exchange will consist of a modern
switchboard and Will be for the ex-
elusive use Of the city and county Of
fcials, bringing them in direct communi-
cation with each other and doing away
With the present system which requires
constant and tiresome use Of the stair
ways and elevators
The scheme proposed by the Twin City
company and which will be installed free,
will be the establishment of a switcilt
board in one Of the Offices, preferably the
cuStodians Office, the same having direct
connection with instruments to be placed
in each. OF the Offices. Ii the custodian's
office an operator will be established and
those desiring any particular office will
receive the same without delay.
At present the building and the offices
are supplied with an Anticipated telo-
phone service that is seldom used by
the employees because of the difficulty in
securing responses. With the new sys-
tenn tbs same phones would be used for
communication with the outside world as
well as within. Entire privacy is as
sured
AS soon as the old jail excavations ara
filed, the company will lay a conduit
through the grounds for the running OF a
cable to the building. If the offer Of this
company is accepted by the commission,
work will begin on the improvement
without delay. Rerresen natives of the
company were at the city hall yesterday
and inspected the building and offices ill
which it is proposed to install the system.
A permit was yesterday granted the
company for the erection Of their eX-
change at Dale ard Hague streets. The
cost of the building alone is 5000.

PAINTERS ARE AT OUTS.
Rival Organizations viii Not Rec
Ognfze Each Other.

p 1.-The Painters and Paperhangers' As
ISOLATION of ST. Paul, = recently organized,
will not be recognized by the 1nterna-
tional Brotherhood of Painters, Deco
rators and Paperhangers Of America.
First Vice President A. G.. Bainbridge.
of the last named brotherhood, was IN
st. Paul last night attending the meet
ing of the Painters union, the original
organization. He stated that he had re-
ceived instructions from headquarters at
Lafayette, Ind, to act as he saw fit in
the matter, and the new organization
will not be recognized
This is one of the recent echoes Of
the trouble between the bosses and the
Painters union, and before the last echo
is heard trouble may flare up in an
other form. The members of the Paint
ers' union claim that those composing
the new organization are those who
weakened in the last strike and went to
work before the bosses agreed to sign
the scale. This forced the union to give
up. and the bosses, to all practical in
tents and purposes, won the strike. Be-
cause of this, fines were imposed on the
men who did not stick and fight for the
union. They refused to pay their fines,
and the result was the new organization.
The new union is now forced to be
merely a local organization, and cannot
be affiliated with any general organiza-
ton. Just what is next to be expected
cannot be predicted by either the paint
ers or the members of the new organ
ization.

REPUBLICANS LOSE HOPE.
Unless the Republican contingent Of
the council can obtain two votes from
the Democratic side OF. the house, all
hope of securing the coveted position is

GET No AID FROM PUB IC
PEOPLE GENERALLY TAKE No IN
TEREST IN TAX COM
MISSION
NO ONE OFFERS SUGGESTIONS
Letters Sent Out to County Auditors
and County Attorneys
Bring No Re-
spOnses

Very little interest is being taken by
the people generally Of this state In the
new tax commission and this fact is
causing the members of the commission
to become thoroughly disguised. Months
ago they sent out q circular letter asking
county auditors and county attorneys Of
the state fer their ideas as to the proper
mode Of procedure in the work of reviS-
ing the tax laws. No responses have
come in and the Office of the commission
in the capitol building is seldom visited
except by newspaper men in quest of
news The trip which the members made
over the state was profitable however
The commissioners are, of course. going
ahead with their work, but they complain
Of being in the dark as to the sentiments
of the people Of the state which they
have asked for and ought to have Said
one member of tho commission yester-
day:
When we make our final report there
will be complaints by this one and that
one Of the manner in which the work mas
been done and some will protest because
they were not consulted as to ideas
Now is the time to prevent this. We
want consultations and we are after IDEAS
of any kind, but we are getting very
few of them from the public"
The commission can be reached By
those not able to attend in person by
addressing communications to II. W.
Childs, secretary, state capitol.
One Of the great complaints most COM
mon among taxation cranks is that 80
much property escapes texation The
commission would be pleased to receive
suggestions as to the best methods Of
stopping this vexatlous practice. An
other pertinent argument is that certain
properties should be exempt from taxa
ton. To- what extent the commission
should proceed in this direction ought 70
receive some attention now at the hands
of the public. Each member of a family
under the present law, is exempt to tho
extent of 500, and in making divisions
of property much escapes taxation. It
is a belief by many that this exemption
should be entirely removed so that every
body will nave to pay some taxes.
The commission is just now considering
these questions:
Should the statute of limitations run
against tax assessments?
Should the tax on personal property
constitute a lien and should tax on real
property be lien on ones personal prop
erty?
Should the Office of county assessor be
created, and if so how far should his
authority extend?

CLASH IS IN SIGHT.
MAYOR AND CLAUSSEN MAY DISA-
GREE ON PAVING CONTRACTS.

City Engineer Claussen says he does
not intend TO follow the resolution passed
by the common council requiring ten
year guarantee a surety bond equal to
the full price of the contract and the
retention of Is per cent.
In recent paving Specifications sent to
the board of public works. in which
asphalt is the material to be used, he
calls for ten-year guarantee, with only
10 per cent retained money and a % Per
cent surety bond. This, he says, Is
ample. AS to brick and stone paving, a
ten-year contract and a bond. only will
be demanded. The retention of Is PEI
cent, he says, only works hardship on
both the city and the contractor, the
city having to pay per cent for the re-
tanned money.
In view of the fact that the mayor has
signifed his intention of refusing to APP
prove all contracts that fail to agree
with the resolution, tie engineers act
may cause conflict that viii have the
effect of shelving contemplated paving.
