BUILD MANY HOMES
October Permits Exceed Those
of a Year Ago.

st. Paul's marked increase in build
ing operations since the year began is
again in evidence.
October, which closed yesterday
shows an advance Of more than $780,
600 over the same month year ago.
Permits to the number Of las were Is
sued and they represented an invest
ment of s472,720. October year ago
119 permits were issued, their value be-
ing $326,325.
One pleasing feature Of the building
operations during October was that
the majority of the permits issued
were for small homes, and II the pres
ent good weather continues the NUMBER
will be doubled this month.
During the past six days the appl-
cations for residence permits were so
numerous that the office force was I'M
able to keep up with them. The values
ran all the way from $1,000 to $5,ooO.
It is expected that November WIN
close with a big increase over the same
month a year ago, and if 1t does new
building record for st. Paul Will nave
been established.
The two largest permits issued last
month were for the new Northern "a
cific freight house, 100000, and the
new armory 100000.

SAYS CITY PAlgsTO0
MUCH FOR Hs GAS
Corporation Attorney Figures
Price at 1.44-PresIdent
q
Lathrop Says He Errs.

Corporation Attorney Michael makes
the statement that the city pays more
for it's gas than the private consumer
and says 1t is easy to substantiate the
claim.
"St. Paul." said Mr.. Michael yester-
day in explanation, "has street light
ing contract this year lin which it pays
the ST. Paul Gas Light company SIG a
year per lamp post for gas delivered
at the neck of the post 1t pays an
other company, the Cleveland vapor
Light company, $10.45 per post per
year to furnish the lamp and see that
it is lighted every night. This latter
item, however, has nothing to do with
the point attempt to make.
Figures II at $f.44.
"These lamps, they say, consume
three cubic feet of gas each hour, which
I very much doubt, and each lamp
burns $3.50 hours during the life of
the contract. There 1920 cubic feet
of gas per lamp for every lamp used.
Now Just figure that out at SIG per
lamp, the present contract price. 1
make it about $1.44 a thousand cubic
feet"
The difference in price between mu-
nicipal and private. consumption was
brought to the attention of the board
of public works yesterday, and 1t Is
possible that when bids are asked for
next years street lighting q meter
rate rather than per post figure will be
asked. OF course the company owns
the posts and a slight allowance must
be made for their use.
Mr.. Michael says his inquiry into
the price per thousand feet of gas now
being paid was caused by q statement
that the city was getting its gas for 81
per thousand feet. Such figure does
prevail in the case of municipal build
ings, but he contends that it does not
apply in the case of street lamps, where
the annual consumption is over $780,
100000 cubic feet.
Says Michael ls in Error.
President Lathrop, Of tffe gas COM
pany, is not disposed to take Mr..
Michael's statement seriously. He said
when his attention was called to it last
evening:
1.-THE entire statement is as errone-
Gus as Mr.. MichaePs computation,
which, on the face of it, is obviously
incorrect. Taking his own assertion
that each lamp burns but 10000 feet
of gas. that, it may be readily, seen.
would, at SIG per lamp. figure $1.33 in
stead of $1.44 per thousand feet.
Our company's figures that the city
pays 81 per thousand for it's gas for
street lighting purposes The burners
are gagged at three and half feet per
hour. They are regularly tested and
our tests show that they burn not less
than that measure and frequently
more. 1t is impossible to regulate one
of these street lamps as closely as
burner in a house, and there is a. good
deal Of wastage. Frequently the men
Hcrh 1n Iov, Dov~Jxr .y.< Lot To-
of course. sA
I'VE have figured this matter very
carefully and we find that the city gets
its gas for just about 81 per thou
sand"

ARREST ] WJOHNSON
Manager of Whisky House Ac.
cused of EmbezzIement.

James w. Johnson, manager Of the
local branch Of H. H. Shufeldt & Co.,
a whisky house, was arrested yester
day morning on two complaints charg-
ing him with embezzling $4,000. The
first complaint alleges that Mr.. john
son appropriated $4,000 intrusted to
him Jan 1, and the second is similar,
except that 1t alleges that sum of
$4,000, received July 1, was converted
by Mr.. Johnson. Both complaints are
sworn to by Howard ]. M. CardeZa,
president of H. II. Shufeldt e. CO.
Mr.. Johnson who has been resident
manager of the local branch, resigned
three days ago on account, he says,
of dissatisfaction with the methods Of
the company, and yesterday morning
he was placed under arrest. He was
admitted to bail in the sum or $4,000
by Judge Orr In the district court and
was liberated on r. r. O'Connor and
Patrick Conley becoming his sureties.
A hearing will be held Monday, Nov
16.
IT am not at all concerned over the
charges" said Mr.. Johnson last night.
1.-THE company has received from me
all money due. / have been manager
of the local branch of the business for
fourteen years, and have had no trou-
BILE with accounts. The only difficulty
is caused by the methods of the COM
pany. If there is difference between
the money paid and the records, it
may be accounted for by the system OF
giving rebates to the trade, which
was instructed to follow. 1 was told
to invoice goods at one price and grant
rebates, while not making any rec
ord Of the rebates"
j. w. Johnson is sixty years old, and
has lived in st. Paul many years. He
at present resides at SO Western ave-
nue.. He was president of the ST. Paul
Distillery company till fourteen years
ago, when that concern was absorbed
by the H. H. Shufeldt company, West
Virginia corporation.

ALDERMANzCAN'T MAKE
CONTRACT WITHCITY
Holt & DahIby's Bid for Plumbing in
= Schools Will Not Be Considered.

> Holt & Dahlby were among the bid
,ders, yesterday who competed for the
plumbing and gas fitting in the new
70. X. Davis. Phalen Park and Harri-
son schools, but it Is likely their pro-
posals will be rejected.
John e. Holt, member of the firm,
is also member of the board of al
dermen, and this fact, Corporation At
torney Michael says, bars the firm
from any participation in the con-
tract. -
The charter expressly forbids any
city employee or official to become in
terested in any city contract work,
and provides for the recovery of all
moneys SO obtained. Should Mr.. Holt
take the contract, he would be subject
to expulsion from the board of alder

JANITOR FALLS FROM
SECOND-STORY WINDOW
Michael McGorry Meets With an Acct.
dent and Is Seriously Hurt.

Michael McGorry, janitor Of st.
Johns church and st. Johns parish
school, fell from second-story win
dow at Mrs. Malloy's boarding house,
SOB Wabasha street, yesterday morn
ing at o'clock, and is now at st.
Joseph's hospital in a serious condi-
ton. McGorry fell from an open win
dow in his room and striking the
ground twenty feet below sustained Sc
we're bruises and probably internal in
juries.
The manner in which McGorrw hap
pened to fall is not known. 1t is
thought, however, that he arose in
his sleep and walked out Of the win
dow, which was open. The window
from which McGorry fell is low, the
sill being about a foot from the floor.
Other boarders occupying rooms on
the lower floor were awakened by the
sound of groans, and started an in
vestigation. McGorry was soon after
found lying on the ground.
McGorry was at once removed to st.
Joseph's hospital. So far AS is known
no bones were broken, but his condi-
ton Is considered serious.

PEELED to lay off all his street force and
from now on there will be nothing do

The late rains, which caused much
damage to the streets, made serious in

Amount Asked for viii Probably Be
Less Than Last Year.

The board of public works is now
preparing an estimate Of the amount
OF money it will need next year for
street illumination purposes.
While the number of lamps will be
greater. it is expected that the amount
asked for will be smaller than this
year This is because of the fact that
the rate per lamp now is less than
heretofore. This year $185,0OO was
spent for street illumination.
