WALKER STANDS BY TAXPAYERS

Everybody, particularly the taXpay.
ers Of this city, approves Of the atti-
tude Of Mr.. Edwin X. Walker, Chair.
man OF the Finance Committee Of the
County Board, In reference to an ut.
tempt by certain high salaried clerks
Of the Board Of Review to collect from
the county the sum of 1886 for over
time during the month of September.
The claim came In to the Board In
the shape Of supplemental pay roll
and was for extra pay Mt scale Of
wages ranging from $S to 80 a day.
"Thcse men are all paid by the month
ana in our appropriation bill We made
no provision for paying them over
time" said Chairman Walker. II will
not vote to approve the bill"
"They are employed all through the
year, although they work but few
months. If they are obliged to work
"A few nights during the busy season
they should not charge overtime for It,"
a motion to approve the roll was lost
on a tie vote, Commissioners Walker,
DAILY and Organ voting in the negative,
The names of the four clerks We're then
stricken from the roll and the amount
of their claims, deducted, after which
1t was approved.
Mr. Walkers action shows that he
puts the interests of the people first as
n public official, and it Is but fair to
say that such men should receive the
support of all taxpayers, without con-
slderation of party, whenever oppor-
tunity offers.

TME TUNNEL PROBLEM STILL UN.

1t Is q matter for regret on the part
Of the public and particularly of that
portion of 1t interested in the lake
traffic of Chicago. that the different
officials who met the other day TO dis
cuss the river tunnel problem were
unable to arrive at any agreement. the
subject matter being on that account
apparently as far away from settle
ment as ever.
The conference was triangular one
and represented the City Council. the
Drainage Board and the traction com
panies. After long discussion the
whole subject was left in its original
position, with Mayor Harrison contend
ing that the work Is incumbent upon
the sanitary district, the drainage trus-
tees disclaiming all power for initia-
tive action and the traction men assert
ing that they are ready for any PROPOSE.
ton that will not interfere with their
rights or dissolve their present fran.
chise privileges.
The conference was called by Alder.
man Scully, chairman Of the committee
| on harbOr, viaducts and bridges. and
was attended by representatives Of all
the interests involved. Desperate Mt.
tempts were made by Chairman Scully
TO harmonize the three principal inter
ests. but without avail, and the meet.
ing was devoid Of action excepting the
appointment Of subcommittee to con-
fer again with the drainage board and
the traction companies.
Incidental to the conference were a
fiamboyant appeal by Mayor Harri
son for suspension Of hostillties Oh
the part Of drainage trustees who have
criticised him for taking no steps to
preserve commerce on the Chicago riv
er. and an original scheme for Kidding

by L. o. Goddard. chairman Of the

FAIR PLAY IS 4 JEWEL.

For the sake Of fair play and com.
mon justice the Eagle Is glad that the
attack upon Building Commissioner
Kiolbassa in connection with the WoOtl-
ruff Hotel fire horror has not been sus-
tanned by the City Council. Whether
there were political considerations In
the minds Of the instigators Of II or not
the Eagle cannot say, nor does It care,
although 1t believes that II had not nor
never could secure the sanction OF Mr..
Kiolbassa's opponent, who Is u fair.
minded, upright and honorable gentle
man.
But the attack upon the Building
COMMISSIONER, irrespective Of all politi.
cal considerations was eminently un.
fair. To hold the Building Department
responsible for a condition for which
the Health Department was palpably
to blame, would be little short Of an
outrage.
And here 1t may be remarked that
there has always been disposition to
make Of the Building Department a
scapegoat for public disasters In this
city. The Eagle remembers one occa.
sion years ago upon which the then
Building Commissioner was held re-
sponsible for the blowing down by a
gale Of wind Of wall which was left
standing In ruin caused by fire and
which the Fire Department should
have pulled down. The collapse Of the
wall killed several people, but the alb
surdity OF trying to hold the Building
Commissioner for 1t was quickly per.
ceived by the then Mayor ana the at
tempt to do so was very properly
squelched.
BY a vote Of 40 to - the City Council
last evening sent back to the Health
Committee, which framed II. the report
censuring Building Inspector Kiolbassa
and his conduct Of his Office. 1t was
done after long and, ut times, acrl.
moniOus debate.
All who have since spoken Of the
matter agreed In declaring II Il per.
sonal vindication of Mr.. Kiolbassa.
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1902-10-04

II was set forth in the amendment.
which was adopted, that all matters of
this sort ought to be conducted by Off
cial bodies like the Council and not by
bodies of the character of the Civic
Federation. mo matter how high their
standing"
There Is force and reason to this.
and It may be added that whatever
chance we have of obtaining results
through the regularly constituted nu.
thorities there would be none what.
ever II the matter fell into the hands
of the professional reformers.
