EAST END NOTES.

From the spearvilIe News. March %
Work on tue elevator is progress
sirg very well considering the bad
weather we have had The building
is pretty we'll inclosed now and a
spell of nice weather will enable the
carpenters to complete it soon.
The local crew wrecked an OLD
fat car while switching in the yards at
this place Wednesday evening, by
humping them together hard enough
TO break it in two; the middle of the
car going up and the ends coming
together. No one was injured.
Train was delayed about an hour,
clearing track.
A balky horse on the street Thurs
day morning attracted some attention
and elected all kinds of advice.
Some wanted to annoint the animal
with frankincense and myrrh while
others favored burning at the stake.
Our opinion is that four pound OK
whip in the hands of an expert
s'whacker" would be about the proper
thing in such a case. Or perhaps
Mrs Nation, with a pocket full of
rocks, could do the business.

The drowning of Consul General
Wldman and wife by the sinking of

Francisco harbor has raised q novel
point of law. On the answer of the
question, (Which was the last to

Mr.. Wildman's estate. IF she died
first his wealth will go to his people
A similar case was tried in Missouri
several years ago when husband and
wife were drowned. The judge de-
cided in favor of the husbands rela-
tives on the theory that the wife was
the weaker of the two it was the most
probable that she was the first to per

AWARDING OF CONTRACTS
Councilmen Up in Arms Against
Director Hitchcock's Action.
/ They Want to Award Them.

There are certain members of coun-
ellis who believe that Director of Pub
lie Safety Hitchcock has not the right
or authority to advertise for bids for
the new apparatus to be purchased for
the fire department and to open such
bids and award the contracts for the
purchase Of the equipment
These gentlemen contend that he is
assuming powers that are not vested
in him and there will accordingly be a
resolution introduced in the common
council tomorrow night directing the
city clerk to advertise for bids for this
apparatus, such bids to he opened by
either councils or the fire department
committees thereof and awarded.
Those who are behind the scheme
hold that there is nothing in the
Muehlbrcnncr act which gives the
heads of departments the power to
award contracts. They contend that
the particular section of the act read
ing mo contracts shall be entered in
to or executed directly by the coun-
ellis or any committee thereof" does
not cover the "awarding" of contracts.
which they hold to be an entirely diff
ferent thing.
1t will be remembered that City So
licitor Watson. in an opinion furnished
to Director of Public Works Roche
some time ago, set forth that under
the MuehlbrOnner act the head of the
proper department and the recorder
are given the power to award con-
tracts. If the resolution to be intro
duccd passes both branches of coun-
ellis some interesting developments
may be looked for.
