SUMMIT AVENUE PROPERTY OWNERS
FORM PERMANENT ASSOCIATION

In this connection George Thompson
declared that it was impossible to pro-
tect Summit avenue except by keeping
heavy teams off.
Before pavement may be laid, how
ever, it will be necessary to have water
laid beyond Hamline avenue, was
brought to the attention of the meet
ing. Steps will be taken to have the
water mains laid, and to have suit
able pavement put in. No action was
taken by the meeting, but committee
will be appointed by the president to
make Investigations and reports.
The articles of association were last
evening signed by twenty-one men,
bers, and ancommittee of three, con-
sisting of Matt Clarke, Gustave Scholle

FREEMAN WOULD
Use AGENT AS MOP
Court Holds Souvenir Book
Man Had No Con-
tract to Sell.

'T simply told Gibson that if he did
not keep out of my Office and stop
bothering me, I would mop the floor
with him; I never ordered any books
of him and he knows it."
This is the statement made by
George Freeman president of the Got
zian & Co. shoe firm, on the witness
stand in the municipal court yesterday.
The case on trial was c. P. Gibson
against G. Gotzian & Co. for $100,
which Gibson alleges is due him for
one hundred souvenir books of the city
of st. Paul, on the back cover of which
was printed cut of the shoe compa-
ny's factory.
The plaintiff is in the souvenir book
business and says the shoe company
gave him a contract for one hundred
of the books, which were delivered.
Mr.. Freeman denied that the company
had ordered any of the books, and says
when they were delivered at the office,
Mr.. Gibson was notified to take them
away. ..... ....
"Gibson came to the office so often
that I grew tired of it, and finally told
him 1 would throw him out if he did
not stay away" said Mr.. Freeman.
Judge Finehout rendered decision
in favor of the defendant.

Property owners of Summit avenue
last evening reorganized the Summit
Avenue Improvement association. A
meeting having been called by w. B.
Dean, president of the previous organ
iZation, number of residents re-
sponded and adopted articles of asso-
citation and elected officers and an eX-
ecutive committee.
The movement has been started to
give attention to the Improvement and
ornamentation of the avenue, and for
this purpose committees on streets and
alleys, tree culture, sanitation and leg
islation will be appointed to look after
the matters pertaining to their jur1s-
diction. The most pressing matter be-
fore the meeting last evening was in
regard to securing suitable pavement
for Summit avenue beyond where the
asphalt terminates. The qualities Of
various kinds of pavement were dis
cussed by the members present.
They unanimously declared against
asphalt as not suited for driving, and
as the present paving Of the avenue
beyond the bridge is in bad condf-
ton for that purpose, steps were urged
to secure some suitable pavement. The
present pavement of gravel is liable to
become worn by the heavy teams that
haul stone and building material for
constructing residences, and 1t was
said that some measure should be pro-
vided to keep heavy teams off the ave-
nue. as much as possible.

Of the contractors Where they were to
revert ito the city on the completion
of the contract prices Of $33.46 and
$3.50, respectively, were made. The
lowest bid shows a cut of S2.69 per
lamp in prices now being paid.
For yineandescent gas lamps, such as
are now generally used in lighting st
Paul streets, a straight bid of $28 per
lamp per annum was made by the st.
Paul Gas company. For the furnish
ing of gas alone a rate of SIC lamp
was made. For gas for municipal pur-
poses rate of 81 a thousand feet was
made.
For electric lighting bids Of $110 and
$50 per year per lamp respectively
were made by the gas company. The
one is for lamps served by underground
wires and the other is for those Sc
curing current from overhead wires
The rate on this light is the same as
last year.
Variety of Bids Called for.
In order that the greatest possible
competition might be secured the spe-
cifcations called for a variety of bids;
for a full year, for six months, for
lighting with gasoline that portion now
lighted with gas, and also for main
tanning the lamp now served by the
gas company. On the latter a price of
$10.45 was made by the Cleveland
company, and one of $3.50 by the
American Development company.
Even with the unexpected price made
by the Chicago firm, there is a drop
in the figure made by the Cleveland
concern, the present contractor, COM
pared with that of a year ago, when a
bid of $25.92 was made. Gas lights also
show drop. the figure last year be-
ing $29 straight.
The two bodies of the council are not
willing to take a a new concern, and
it is likely that the bid Of the Western
Street Lighting company may be re-
jected.
The company has a lamp on ex-
hib1tion in the courthouse yard.
Rivalry Is Bitter.
There has been the bitterest rivalry
this year over st. PauPs street lighting,
and the Slashing last night was the re-
suit. The Cleveland Vapor Lighting
company contends that the Chicago
company is fostered by the American
Development company, which has been
dubbed the trust 1t is claimed by them
that this company at present has no
contracts in other cities.
In any event the council is in a
stew over the matter, and will grasp
at anything to prevent the annoying
delay of a year ago. Every time a
new company enters the field the old
lamps must be removed, and the new
installed and the darkness that ensues
is generally matter of months. The
gasoline contract is worth to a con-
tractor about 100000, the gas contract
$4,000 and the electric light about
$4,000.

WATER BOARD STILL
WANTS BILL PAID
Members Feel They Could Use Few
Hundred Thousand of the
City's Money.

The water department wants the city
to pay for water used for fire purposes
and proposes to get it. Notice to this
effect has been served on the city coun-
Gil and the corporation attorney has been
asked to give his views in the matter.
Under the law by which the city be-
came the owner of the present water
distributing system and the provision
creating the board of water commission
ers, it was provided that the city should
pay for all water used for fire pur-
poses. ~
Not a cent has been paid by the city
since 1891 and should an action be brought
to recover. the city would have to pay
a pretty penny. Some figure the amount
owing at about 100000. but it may be a
million. Payment. of the money has al
ways been opposed on the ground that it
would be simply the transfer of the city,s s
money from one department to another.
Davidson Tract and Deed Ready.
The title to the Davidson tract on
Jackson street which is to be made a

perfected and the deed is ready to be
turned over to the city. Notice to this
