WATER BOARD TO
TRY MANDAMUS
May Resort to Courts to Com
pei City to Pay Hy-
drant Rent.

If an opinion now being prepared by
First Assistant Corporation Attorney
McDermott warrants it, mandamus pro-
ceedings will be brought at once by the
board of water commissioners against
Mayor Smith,, City Comptroller Betz, City
Treasurer Bremen and the city council
The point involved is the continued def
ance by the city of the law providing for
the payment of hydrant rent
Pigeonholed in the vaults of City Comp
troller Betz are audited water board
claims, carrying on their face over $780,
600, but not cent has been paid on them
since they began to accumulate, some
eleven years ago. With the regularity of
cry six months, but beyond their formal
reception they might be valueless for all
the recognition they have received. Nc
money when payment was asked. and
the merry ha, ha,' from the council
when an insertion Of the amount in the
budget was requested by the board was
the only response
1t is a point of law that one department
of the city cannot sue another but the
the difficulty by suggesting a writ Of GER
tiorart or mandamus proceedings, and as
this will be the feature of the opinion
now in preparation. advantage of it will
be taken by the board.
The city council and those officials who
are responsible for the payment of these
bills will be made to show cause why
they refuse to provide the money for the
payment of hydrant rent, and if a favora-
bic decision is reached, then the boards
course and future recognition of claims
will be made clear.
The idea is not to press the payment
Of past calims, but to force provision for
all future hydrant accounts. The water
boards claim against the city for last
years water rent was nearly $40, 00O
President Warner and Commissioner
Brace, Of the board of fire commission
ers, appeared yesterday before the water
board and attempted to prevail upon the
members to change their decision regard
ing the refusal to lay any more mains for
fire purposes this year. Both sides as
sumed a belligerent attitude, not to the
extent of indulging in high words, but
defiant demeanor that boded i'll should the
matter ever come to a talking match.
The fire board representatives held that
the fire mains decided upon for the West
side and St. Anthony Park last year were
necessary, but the water board could not
see it in that light. The water board an
swered that it's revenues were being de-
creased by the shrinkage of frontages
taxes, and for the present it would have
to confine it's efforts to supplying con-
sumers. No absolute refusal was made,
the matter being continued but it is gen
orally conceded that the disputed mains
will not be built this year
The water board the coming year will
have only about $50, 900 for betterments,
against $4,000 last year, and it says ev-
cry cent of this amount will be required
in improving it's country property, provid-
ing service mains for the large number Of
petitioners now on file.

TALK OVER TELEPHONE
CAUSES A LAWSUIT
Parties Who Had Sent Check Stop Pay
ment, and Hence the Action.

An exchange of sarcastic remarks be-
tween a member of the firm of Brown &
Bigelow. printers, and E. p. Roberts, sec
rotary of the Minnesota Association of
Local Insurance Agents, terminated in a
lawsuit which was commenced before
Judge Hine, in the civil division of the
municipal court yesterday.
The printers were given an order by
Secretary Roberts to print 800 certificates
of membership for the insurance agents,
and when the work was delivered pre-
scented bill for $50, $51 being for the
printing and the extra $35 for the plate
from which the certificates were printed.
The association objected to paying for
the plate, but sent check for the full
amount.
The the firm of Brown & Bigelow was
celled up by telephone and informed by
Mr.. Roberts that the S35 was simply a
present to the firm. The answer came
back that Brown & Bigelow were not de-
pendent upon charitable gifts. and a con-
versation followed which resulted in the
association stopping payment of the
check.
The $51 was rendered, and now Brown
& Bigelow are suing for the balance of
$35. The case was on trial all day yes
terday, but was only well started when
court adjourned last evening.

HOUSE HAD BEEN IN
THE STREET TOO LONG
Prosecution of Owner for Obstructino
Thoroughfare Fails in Police Court

The city has commenced a crusade
against people who live in houses which
obstruct the streets. and yesterday three
of the cases were called in police court
two of which were continued and one
tried.
The case which went to trial was that of
the city against Martin and Thomas
O'Malley, who live in a house located on
Minnetonka street, just south of Ala
bama. The house is built in the street,
and the city is endeavoring to have it
removed.
It developed during the trial that the
house was built thirty years ago. and
while it was admitted to be in the street,
Judge Finehout held that the O'Malleys
could not be prosecuted under the crdi-
nance which provides punishment for per
sons who build distractions in the street
The O'MaleyS purchased the property
eight years ago, and were responsible for
the construction of the house, and the
case against them was dismissed The
city will now commence civil actions to
compel the removal of the street obstruc-
tons.

HUSTLE IN VAIN
FOR HARD COAL
Extreme Cold Weather Finds
Local Dealers Without a
Pound Of Anthracite.

The Servant Girls union, during the
past year, has made deal Of fuss
about its members having to receive
their callers and company in the kitch-
ems OF the residences where they were
employed.
In half of the homes in st. Paul these
day, and nights, too, the members of
the household, including the domesttcs,
use the kitchen almost entirely.
The coal famine is responsible for
this condition of affairs, and according
to the local fuel dealers the residents
OF st. Paul are just beginning to feel
the famine
In consequence Of the extreme cold
numbers of citizens spent the day yes
terday in chasing from one coal office
to another begging to have just a ton
or half a ton of hard coal sent to their
homes. Some of the seekers after coal
were prominent citizens, and others
were not so prominent, but it made no
particular difference to the clerks in
the coal offices. Each Would-be pur-
chaser was given the same answer:
I'VE have no hard coal and it is a guess
when we will have any"
AS high as $40 per ton was offered
by those who needed the coal, and
needed it badly, but even the offer to
pay this price failed to bring the prom
Use of any of the 'black diamonds"
The shortage of coal, especially Of the
anthracite KIND, mas compelled thou
sands Of hOuseholders to burn wood.
In the fuel offices they tell customers
that it is just as easy to burn soft coal
in base burner as hard coal and much
cheaper. Those who have gone against
the soft coal game as an experiment
know all about it after one trial, and
those who have not-well they have
something to learn and swear about
Landlords and agents in charge of
houses are talking freely about how
much cheaper it is to burn soft coal,
but they are talking for their own
benefit, as tenants, in the absence of
coal, are making away with fences,
back stairs and everything in the line
of wood and lumber in order to keep
the houses warm.
The demands for fuel from the fam
lilies who are dependent on the county
board of control and charitable organi-
cations are increasing daily, and the
inspectors of the Relief society report
many cases of suffering among the
poorer classes.
The price of hard coal is quoted at
$3.50 and $40 per ton, but the dealers
have none. Illinois and Indiana soft
coal can be purchased at S. and Sc per
ton, while Hooking Valley coal, said to
be smokeless, brings $3.50 per ton.

G. D. Gillian when that gentleman con-
trolled the city water system, and, when
purchased by the city, still continued in
the service. He was secretary of the
ST. Paul Water company from 1873 until
its requirement by the city in 1882, and
was continued in the same capacity when
the local government assumed control

stipend that the Office annually brings to

numerous occasions, but Mr.. Caulfield has
outlasted them all. His knowledge Of the
system has been so intimate, and his
term of service so faithful that no admin
istration. no matter how partisan, has
cared to relegate him to private life.
