Mr. Claussen informed the committee
that from Investigations he was conf

not exceed $500. Swanson, he explained,
was the owner of a number of teams,
and in order to secure city employment
for them and himself, he had entered

Claussen, ''but 1 am afraid they will be
hard to prove. What information I
have got from him had almost to be

Only two members of the committee,

City Engineer Claussen did not make
his promised statement, reserving it
until there was a full attendance. Mr..

sion Made.

The members of the assembly, with
the exception of President Schiff-
mann, were the guests of Health Com
missioner Ohage yesterday afternoon,
and were by him shown over Harriet
island and initiated into it's beauties
and comforts.
A feature of the visit was the fact
that fully one half of the members
had never been non the island. their
ideas of the place being confined to
views taken while crossing the Wa
basha street bridge or from the other
side of the river To them it's extent
and the many novelties it houses
were revelation. All were escorted
from building to building, shown the
crowds in bathing and in attendance
on the gymnasium, and at the close
were given a light luncheon
The miserable condition of the ap-
proach to the baths was what DR..
Ohage was principally DESTROYS of i'm
pressing upon the visitors, and, while
some of them may not have been fully
convinced as to the feasibility of DR..
Ohage's scheme of condemnation of
the block on which the Gedney Pick
ling works stand, they were all of
the opinion that an improvement of
some kind was necessary. AS it is
now, one approach is along an ILL
smelling dump, adjacent to a hole of
dangerous proportions, while the 9TH

er is Water street. almost hub deep
in mud, and the sidewalks so narrow
that pedestrians are compelled to take
to the street in passing each other.
After Drawing these difficulties lot
of tracks have to be crossed. Before
these were put down a fill of hard
cinders existed, which allowed one to
reach the bridge dry shod, but now
these cinders have been supplanted
with sand, into which the foot sinks
ankle deep. Between the tracks
planks have been laid, but they are
inadequate.
All these things were noticed by
the members of the assembly and
notes taken. If one track, the Ged-
ney spur, could be removed, DR.. Ohage
expressed his willingness to relin-
quish the scheme of condemning the
entire block. All that would have to
be done then would be the filling of
the dangerous hole that now exists
along the dump, the covering of the
remainder of the ground with sand,
and the construction of wider stair
way leading down from the bridge
If this is done, DR.. Ohage says no 9TH
er objection will be made to any Of
the other tracks. The spur as it now
exists forms a dangerous cuI de sac.
