"All of this has been brought about
by little spite work on the part Of
certain members of the board of trade
who, for very obvious reasons, are an
cry with the Council and anxious to
cause us trouble. This sort of business
was never attempted before. The city
council has for years borrowed money
TO TIDE OVER SHORTAGES
which occur in different funds about
this time of the year. Last year, be-
lieve, the amount borrowed was $75,-
900, $4,000 more than is required at
the present time. During the present
administration the city clerk has paid
over $40 1000 worth of bonds-not spec
ial street improvement bonds, but gen.
eral bonds held against the city The
men who are asking for this injunc-
ton have evidently not taken facts
of this kind into consideration. l do
not believe that the Injunction will
hold and for that reason l am not
greatly disturbed over the outcome of
the case"
HAVE NOT KICKED.
When approached upon the subject
Tuesday Fire Chief Mesnar said
well, the money was not there and
of course the council could not legally
| include the salary of the firemen In
the claims ordinance which was passed
| last night. The men are not kicking
and are satisfied to work while with
out getting their pay. None of them
have kicked as yet as there is no rea-
son for them to do SO. |, myself, have
not received any salary to amount to
anything since June, and probably will
not receive any for some time to
come from present Indications"
SPITE WORK, SAYS GRAVIS.
Councilman Gravis said in regard to
the matter: "Of course the men should
have been paid but what were we t.
do. The board of trade had fixed it sc
that the council couldn't borrow tht
money and IL we cannot borrow 1t WI
must wait until next March when thu
tax levy will be dispersed. But We
don't propose to wait until that time
for we are going to have that injunc
tion dissolved and borrow the money
The fellows in the board of trade who
were instrumental in having that in
junction issued are now sorry that they
ever did. 1t was pure spite work."
! MEN WILL QUIT WORK.
According to the street commissioner
his men have not taken the situation
as coolly as have the firemen. Sale
Mr. Sommers. .-
"The men who are working for mi
are very much disappointed because o.
their not receiving their pay and some
Of them say that unless they are pait
that they will be obliged to stop work
4 ing for me and look for other Jobs
where they will receive their pay wher
it Is due. You see the men who ar,
employed by me are all working mel
and must have their pay right alonl
so that they can live and support theil
families. They need the money fol
their meat and grocery bills. l do no
think that all of them will leave a.
some OF them say that they can tid'
over until the city is in position II
pay it's bills"

Deficit Already ExiCts in
Two Municipal Funds.
If Injunction is Not Dissolved No Payments Can Be
Made Until Next Tax AppOrtionment in March
.--Police Fund is Likewise Depleted

The restraining order recently is
sued by the court, upon the petition
of select party Of citizens, prevent
ing the city council from contracting
a loan of $65,OO0 to tide over a short
age in several municipal funds was
felt Monday evening, when the council
refused to allow the salaries Of the
city firemen and of the employees of the
street department for-services during
the past two weeks. There was no
open discussion UPON the question. The
items simply did not appear upon the
claims ordinance, that was all.
ONE MORE DRAFT.
The police department will receive
one more salary installment after the
one allowed at the meeting Monday
evening and then, unless the Injunction
Is dissolved the officers will have to
accept one of two alternatives. They
may resign or they may wait until
next March for their back salaries
Something over 5000 now exists in the
police and marshal fund but this will
be depleted after the passage of
THE NEXT ORDINANCE.
1t is understood that the city clerk
has fatty refused to issue vouchers
upon either the fire department fund
or on the general street fund. While
1t Is probable that none of the banks
of the city would refuse to honor Or
ders so issued, yet the law is very
plain upon the subject, and the clerk
in so doing would place himself in a
position to invite prosecution from the
same persons who were instrumental
in checking negotiations
FOR THE LOAN.
II the injunction holds no money
can be paid out of these depleted funds
until next March, when the tax appor-
tionment Is made. This means that
the firemen, street commissioner and
his men and all of the employees of the
police department will be deprived OF
their salaries for about four months. II
the Injunction does not hold the $685.
900 will be secured at once and the IL
nancial embarrassment relieved.
1.-THE persons, who are affected by
this action on the part of the men,
bers of the board of trade will now be-
gin to see that the matter Is not a
Joke" said Councilman Lichtenwalter
at the conclusion of the meeting Mon
day evening"" / suspect that many OF
the, people of the city did not take the
matter seriously. when the council an
nounced that 1T was out of funds in
certain departments and unable to pay
the bills. They will begin to appre-
ciate the situation IL the fire and police
departments are suspended for want oi
FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
after all 1t Is ridiculous position
for city like Canton to be placed in
The council is absolutely forced to re-
pudiate salary accounts. Tonight we
were unable to pay the firemen and
after one more ordinance the police
men will either have to resign of work
for love.

LARGE STEALING OF STAMPS.

Chicago, Oct. PA robbery which
netted the perpetrators S74,610 in

Wholesale stamp department of the

An investigation developed the fact
that the burglars had crawled under
the flooring for about 300 feet, bored
holes in the bottom of the vault, pro-
cured the stamps and escaped, carry.
ing their booty in a wagon.

Congress May Give Relief.
Washington. Oct. 22.-It is explain.
ed at the postoftice department that
the law allows credit up to $40. 0.0C0
to postmesters at Offices where losses
occur in which proper precautions had
been taken. All above this amount
has to depend upon the action Of con.
gress. Postmaster Coyne will present
claim for the amount of the loss
and the department will transmit 1t to
congress. Meantime any balance
against him on account of the loss
will remain outstanding, but II con-
gress should fail to act favorably he
will be called upon to make the loss
good. 1t is a foregone conclusion. ac-
cording to the belief of postal Off.
cials, that the relief will be granted
as usual in such cases.
