Salaries of Men May
BE Paid.

Mayor Moores received yesterday the ap-
preparation ordinance passed by the city
council at Its last meeting. Included in
the ordinance are bills amounting to $685. -
which II paid would come out Of the fire
fund and these. without exception, the
mayor VIII veto. because OF the low condi-
tion of the fire fund, This same policy has
previously been followed by the mayor in
regard to the allowance Of expense bills to
be paid from the fire fund, on the ground
that what money there is left in the fund
should be used in the payment of the
salaries Of the iremen.
The bills in the appropriation ordinance
payable out Of the police fund the mayor
will allow, since he contends that there is
no shortage in that fund and there would
be none even II the seventeen men recently
dropped from the pay roll had been re-
tanned.

1t the duty OF each merchant before he dis
poses of his stock in this manner to notify
each OF his creditors at least Ave days be-
fore the sale. so that they may know the
disposition that has been made OF the debt
or's assets.
Every man present who expressed himself
was heartily in favor Of the enactment OF
such a law by the next legislature. and at
the conclusion of the s~peecbmaking the
chairman was instructed to appoint a com
mittee of ten to draft a suitable bill. to be
presented at a meeting Of the association to
be held on the third Thursday in December

1t will prevent a man buying a stock that
has not been paid for at 25 cents or so
cents on the dollar, thus being able to
cut prices.

Assessment on Coliseum.
The Board Of Review yesterday took
up the Coliseum case and heard argumen
from John G.. Willis as to why the assess
ment of that property should be increased
and from Graham and IRE. owners Of the
building, as to why 1t should not be in
creased, but rather decreased. Mr.. Willis
declared the Coliseum to be a detriment to
all Of the surrounding property and argued
that the valuation OF S13, 400 was very low.
Messrs. Graham and IRE expressed the be-
lief that the assessment upon Mr.. Willis
property was low even in comparison with
that upon the Coliseum. They showed the
board that they only received 81, 500 a year
for their building and thai they were COM
PEELED to pay a very high rate for insur-
ance to the amount OF $4,000. The board
decided to allow the valuation OF the
Coliseum to remain as 1t was.
The agent OF w. A. Paxton came before
the board and asked to have the assess
ments on the Ware block and the Granite
block reduced. He wanted the Granite
block listed at $40, 900 and the Ware block
at $4,000, claiming the income justified nc
higher figures. The board reserved de-
cision.
