STATE ACREESTO SETTLE
BoBLETER PROPOSITION IS Ac-
CEPTED BY COMMISSION.

The state has accepted the compromise
propositions of Joseph Bobleter, former
state treasurer, and his suretieS.
Attorney General Douglas and justices
Brown and Lewis, of the supreme court,
appointed by the governor as a commits
sion to adjust the states ciaims, met
yesterday Afternoon and Conferred with
attorneys for the sureties. Their propo-
sition for a $22,0G0 cash settlement was
accepted, and Col. Bobleter's 5000 cash
offer was also taken. This action OF the
commission is final, and releases the
sureties 1t was reported to the gov
e1hor yesterday afternoon.
The shortage resulting from losses in
insolvent banks during Col. Bobleters
term as state treasurer now amounts to
$4,000 The offers accepted today re-
duce it to $4,000. The bank assets held
by the state have an estimated value Of
$1,000, which would leave the state only
$4,000 behind. There is among the bank
assets a section in Northern Michigan
which, from its location, may contain
valuable ore deposits, and may realize
many times the appraised value, turning
a profit for the state out of a yexatious
transaction. 49,
The commission will meet later to take
up the proposition of sureties on the
Marine National bank, of Duluth. They
did not appear yesterday. They offer to
settle a shortage of $1,771 for $SS5.75.

Bell, and Paul Martin, waited upon the
board of fire commissioners last nj" 1t
to impress upon that body the desirable
ity of furnishing the West side with bet
ter fire protection, but while they were
courteousiy granted an audience, they
had to be satisfied with promises.
Already acquainted with the fact that
an additional engine house under The
present appropriation was an impossi-
bility the delegation asked of the board
it's official sanction of a request to the
council that the grade on Louise street
be reduced in order that apparatus might
have quicker access to the plateau west
of Robert street, but it was denied, the
members. after the departure of the De-
egation, disposing of the resolution by
simply acknowledging its receipt and or
dering it filed.
The resolution called for the payment
of the work out of the general fund, and
in the minds of the members the COST
should be borne by the property owners
benefited. The members. especially COM
missioners Schweitzer and Freeman could
not free their minds OF the opinion that
the West Side Improvement association
was trying to use the board for the
purpose of grinding an ak at public ex-
pense and refused to give their o. K.
Let the property owners petition for
the improvement said Commissioner
Freeman This properly belongs to the
board of public works and is its work,
not ours
The contention of the delegation was
that the flats had ample protection, but
the plateaus were absolutely without
any. 1t was shown what trouble the de-
partment had in reaching the unprotect-
ed districts. and it was this that prompt
ed the request for a resolution ordering
the reducing of the grade on Louise
street. The delegation also asked for an
additional fire alarm box and another
engine house when the money is availa-

MAYOR LYTLE THINKS 1T Will
PROVE A WINNER.

Mayor George L. Lyle, of South St.

car service will be one of next years
acquisitions of that thriving city. He
says: 81 have no doubt that the street
car company which operates South st.
Paul system will clear from $4,000 to $40,-
600 per year, and such plums do not hang
on the tree very long. Population in
South ST. Paul has increased Is per
cent within the last ten months. The
Swift company now employs 1850 men,
of whom only 800 live in South st. Paul.
The new water works going in next year
will double the present population.
Business at the stock yards is steadily
increasing. Gen. Flower thinks he will
be able before long to get another pack
ing establishment. A large tannery is
to be installed in the old railroad shops
limits of South St Paul. If a street car
company enters South St. Paul it will
be at a scent fare, will run its cars to
the dividing line between Inver Grove and
South St Paul, and VIII build
it's own walls and lay it's own tracks, and
if the date Of its coming is delayed the
company will be glad to pay US bonus.
