BOARD WILL RETIRE
MANAGERS OF ST. CLOUD REFORM
ATORY MEET FOR THE
LAST TIME
GOES OUT OF EXISTENCE AUG.
Half a Dozen Prisoners Were Re-
leased as the Last Official
Act of the Old
BOARD.

A meeting was held at the Merchants
hotel, last night, of the board of man
ayers of the ST. Cloud reformatory, for
the purpose of auditing a number of bills
and disposing of several minor matters.
The meeting was an important one,
from the fact that it will probably be
the last one held before the board goes
out of existence on Aug. l. when it's func-
lions will be absorbed by the board Of
control.
1t is the second meeting held this
month and in addition to the routine
work, the board ordered the release Of
and two of the prisoners were given
their final discharge from the institu-
ton.
OF the old reformatory board there
were present last night: Robert Saun-
ders, of Pine City; D. H. Evans, Tracy;
Rev. j. G. Hultkrans, Minneapolis;
George R. O'Reilly, st. Paul. Frank l..
Randall, superintendent of the reforma-
tory was also in attendance, and render
ed the managers invaluable assistance
in winding up the affairs of the board.
In addition to the above there were
present VIM E. Lee, of Long Prairie,
and o. B. Gould, of Winona, both Of
whom are members of the new state
board of control. The latter did not
participate in the meeting, but were
present out of courtesy and for the
purpose of familiarizing themselves with
matters connected with the reformatory.

ASPHALT is THEBEST
AID. EDWARD l.. MURPHY PRE-
FERS 1T FOR PAVING
PURPOSES
DOES NOT COMMIT HIMSELF
,Ir. Murphy Returns After Two
Months Absence-His Arrival
Naturally Excites Interest
in Council Affairs.

Aid. Edward L. Murphy returned yes
.erday noon after a two moaths alb
Sence from St Paul. He has teen at
lot Springs and Kansas City and APP
pears greatly benefited by the visit.
AS Mr. Murphy was prominent in the
light for the passage Of the council reso-
ution imposing certain guarantee pro-
Yisions on all contractors who do city
paving his return naturally eXcites some
comment in view of the fact that a
stormy session is expected when the
beard of aldermen meets next Tuesday.
Mr. Murphy, however, in view of his
lengthy absence from the city, and the
act that he has not been in touch with
The situation, refused to talk yesterday
when approached except to say that he
Believed asphalt to be the only paving It
t can be secured cheap enough.
In Kansas City, Mr. Murphy says,
~ropcrty owners secured what little brick
aVing they have down for $l.30 a square
ard, against 81 paid in ST. Paul. This,
however, must be considered in connec-
ton with the fact that Kansas City is in
close proximity TO the big brick factories.
In Kansas City, he says, asphalt is the
favortte paving, miles of it having been
laid. There it costs about 81. 30 a square
yard. 1t is conceded to be in every par
Jicular a better material than brick.
While claiming to be unable to talk in
diligently as to what his position will be
the paving fight now on, his intimation
s sufficient to show that he will stand
by the proposition to throw out all bids
and orders and readvert,se with asphalt
as the material.
He says now is the time to benefit from
the paving war, as ST. Paul has ben
100 long in the power of the brick trust
10 do otherwise. Mr.. Murphy is par
ticularly vehement in his denunciation Of
the brick men, who, he claims, are re-
sponsible for the high prices that have
prevailed for years.

OBJECT TO MACADAM
PROPERTY OWNERS PROTEST
AGAINST SOUTH ROBERT STREET
IMPROVEMENT

For some time an effort has been made
to have South Robert street, from the
Great Western bridge to Concord street,
macadamiZed, but the property oWne;
at a hearing yesterday before the board
of public works practically killed it by
protesting against the Improvement, The
street is full of holes, and has been
source of considerable complaint to the
city officials.
George B. Young E. H. Cutler and
George Thompson yesterday made an eff
fort to secure favorable consideration
for the matchmaking of Irvine avenue,
a small thoroughfare in the rear of SUM-
NIT avenue, but a lively protest was re-
ceived from number of property owners,
who contended that the street is nothing
more than an alley. The parties faVoring
the Improvement have their stables front
ing on the street and claim that 1t Is
impossible for carriages.
The board at its meeting made ia
vorable report on a sewer proposed for
Whitall from Burns to Burr to- Brad
ley, cost $3.50 or 81 20 per foot; a sewer on
Cypress, f. ON Hastings to McLain, cost
81 100 or $1.14 per foot, and a sewer on
Van Buren,, cost $2,S64 or $1.15 per front
foot
The board took under consideration the
proposed paving with brick of the alley
in the rear of the Minnesota club build
ing. The estimated cost is $500.

Unless provision of some sort is made

holes choked with orders of this char
acter, the board of public works yester-
day was compelled to dispense with all
clerks employed in this department, the
appropriation from which they are paid

When the last budget was prepared
$500 was set aside for the pay of an

: Because Of accidents and the depletion
OF the city treasury by damage suits
arising from faulty sidewalks, special
effort was being made to rid the city
of some of the existing dilapidated
sidewalks, but the hopes of the board
and those interested will have to go a
glimmering.
More sidewalks have been laid up to
date than in any years since 1893.

BUILDING THE NURSERY
TEN MEN ENGAGED IN ERECTING
CHILDREN'S HAVEN.

A force of ten men is now employed in
the erection of the free day nursery at
Harriet island. 1t is thought that by the
close of next week the building will be
ready for use.
In conducting the institution methods
in force in other cities where there are
similar institutions will be adopted. DR..
Whitcornb on his recent trip to Chicago
and Milwaukee studied the nurseries of
those places thoroughly and obtained
much valuable information.
The sale of badges, from which it is
expected to derive sufficient money TO pay
for the enterprise is not progressing to
the extent that the promoters would
like, but as soon as the hot weather is
over those who are soliciting will be
able to see more people.

COAL BIDS ARE HIGH
BOARD OF CONTROL THINKS COAL
TRUST is INTACT.

In response to it's recently issued invi-
tations for coal bids, the board Of con-
troll has received a quantity of propcsa $
with prices, terms and grades so en-
tangled that no intelligent comparison of
them can be made until they have been
carefully tabulated, and the work will
consume considerable time. On their
faces, however, the bids plainly indicate
that the coal combine has by no means
been disorganized.
The board in inviting bids stated that
all communications of that character
would be regarded as confidential and
the successful bidders notified privately
if so desired, and it was hoped that by
that means independent proposals would
be received. Such was not the case
however, as the board is now convinced
for the similarity in the prices of certain
grades is so uniform as to Indicate that
the bids were all fixed.

LABORERS ARE SCARCE
EXODUS TO HARVEST FIELDS AT
FECTS LOCAL MARKET.

The exodus of laborers to the harvest
fields and the consequent scarcity of
men in St. Paul is noticeable in the
bids received by the city officials for
street and improvement work.
In preparing specifications for all street
work an estimate OF the probable cost is
always furnished by City Engineer Claus
sen, sufficient margin generally being
given for any slight raise in material or
labor, but of late his estimates have been
considerably below the actual prices de-
manded by the contractors For the
grading of an alley in the rear of the
Model Steam Laundry, John and Locust
streets, he estimated the cost of the work
at $780, Yesterday bids were opened and
the lowest was $246. This is the second
time bios have been advertised for this
work, and in each case they were almost
double the estimate.
A similar state of affairs was shown
in bids opened for sewer on Park ave
nue.. from Viola to Como avenue. The
engineers estimate was $S49 but the
lowest bid received was $685. from ]. NJ.
Thornton. The highest bid was $1,349.

learn that just ten years ago there was

in this city will be sorry if next month

NEARLY ALL DOG LICENSES ARE

Up to yesterday dog licenses to the
number Of 1,043 had been taken out. OF
this number only forty-three were cred
tied to CANNES of the female gender.
The latter figure is creating suspicion
in the minds of the officials that own

them to animals of the opposite sex, and
it is probable that an investigation will
be made AS a male license costs 81,
against SO for a female, the temptation
to make a false entry is considerable.
