To the Public.

In an interview between a Times-Re
publican reporter and the undersigned,
published in an issue of above named
paper short time since, was made to
say that the citizens of Marshailtown
should have the opportunity to sub
scribe for the shares of the stock in The
Iowa Artificial Ice and Refrigerator
Company in small or large amounts as
they might desire. To make good this
statement I hereby announce that the
stock in this company will be issued in
certificates of $50 each, so that every
consumer of ice In this city shall have
the opportunity to own one or more
shares of Its stock as they may elect.
1t is the wish and intention of the un-
dersigned. that the people of this COM
munity shall own and control this pure
ice making manufactury, so that the
public and not one or a few private in
dividuals shall monopolize the ice sup
ply for this city, as has been the case
for the past seventeen years.
Mr.. f. e. Click will canvass the city
shortly and give every one an oppoT-
tunity to identify themselves with this
enterprise IL they so desire.

MAY EMPLOY TAX FERRErs.
Supreme Court Holds That Supervisors
May Take That Means to Collect

A case decided in the supreme court
Monday will be of especial interest to
this county at the present time, when
the supervisors have employed attor-
neys as tax searchers in the Glucose
Sugar Refining Company back tax mat
ter. The supreme court affirmed case
from Cass county. ruling that 1t is not
contrary to public policy to permit
a board Of county supervisors to en-
ploy a man to uncover and report for
assessment property which had been
omitted from taxation and to agree to
pay for such services a proportionate
part Of the taxes collected. The court
holds that the supervisors have the
mower to enter into such a contract
and that this power is derived from
section 422 of the code, which author
ICES boards of supervisors ito represent
the respective counties and to have the
care and management of the property
and business thereof where no other
provision shall be made.
The case in point is that Of II. A.
Disbrow, appellant, against the board
of supervisors of Cass county. One
Wellman was employed by the county
to uncover and report tax assessments,
the contract stipulating that he should
receive for his services one-half of the
money collected thru his efforts. Dis
brow is a taxpayer who appealed from
the action of the supervisors In allowing

Mcbride stated, in his report, that he
would be glad to report favorably, be-
cause he thought Mr.. and Mrs. Wallen
worthy of charity, but the committee
could not report favorably in view of
the city solicitors recent opinion, which
declared tax remission Illegal, Mr.. Nc
Bride also reported for his committee
on the books of the city officials which
he had found to be correct. Appended
to it was the report of e. r. Jones, who
was employed as an expert account

Mr. Mcbride offered resolution
calling for the mayor and city clerk to
sign on behalf of the city the con-
tract with j. L. Carney to assist Solic-
itor Van Law in the glucose tax as
sessment matter. A retainer fee Of $50
is called for in the contract, and a
clause is embodied which calls for a
mutual agreement upon fees if litiga-

adopted.

found that the city clerk was allowed

the board as very nominal. The bill
was therefore rejected.

WITH THE COUNCIL
But Very Little Business Disposed of
for Regular Session.

For regular monthly session the
council Monday night succeeded In dis
posing Of but very little important
business. That which came up for the
most attention were two resolutions
in the interests Of the labor movement,
introduced by Mr.. Psenicka, of the
Fifth ward. The first was from Mar
shalltown Typographical Union No
Ala, asking that all city printing be
done in union shops, and, as far as
practicable, bear the union label. Mr.
Fisher wanted it to go over to another
meeting, when all We're present, Mr..
Greene and Mr.. Henry being absent.
Mr.. Webster spoke on the resolution
and explained his position regarding
the labor question in municipal at
fairs. Mr.. Webster said he was as
much in sympathy with labor as any
other member, but he thought that or
ganized labor sometimes asked too
much. when see labor organiza-
ton demanding something that we
have no right to do, must oppose it,
He endorsed the resolution with one
exception, and as far as 1t concerned
the printing of stationery, blank books,
ETC.. But" said Mr.. Webster, sup
pose a case comes UP when we are
compelled to have printed an ordi-
nance. resolution for paving, water
extensions, or something else where the
lack OF giving immediate notice by
publication means a great loss to the
city. We must order such publication
then as will benefit the city, regardless
of whether it be a paper bearing the
1al ,nt
legal to do otherwise"
Mr.. Webster suggested an amend
ment to place when practical" in the
resolution, and offered it as an amend
ment After some parlying it was
adopted The resolution, as passed.
reads as follows:
BE it resolved, by the city council
of Marshalltown. Iowa, that hereafter
all printing Of proceedings and ordin-
ances, when practical, stationery,
blanks and other papers, made neces-
sary for officers of this city and coun
Gil, shall be done and printed In union
printing offices, and, whenever prac
teal, shall bear the label of the typo
graphical union of this city"
Another resolution presented by Mr..
Psenicka and prepared by Ed t. Aus
tin, Bert Everist and v. e. Mowery
of the Marshalltown Trades and La
Dor Assembly, vas as follows: BE
it resolved, by the city council of Mar
shalltown, Iowa. that in the future
employment of labor, or letting of con-
tracts, that only union labor be en-
ployed, whenever such can be obtain
ed" This was likewise passed, WATSON

Several miscellaneous matters were
brought before the body, but none of
them was important. Mr. kreutzer
presented petition from w. E. Jones.

the Great Western at Sixth avenue
and Nevada street, which was referred
to the streets and alleys committee;
also n communication in the shape of
a report of the testing of cement used

adverse to the remission. The re
port was adopted. Mr. Webster brought

State of Iowa VS.. nj. o. Clemens, an

couple of years ago. killed William
Burghduff on the streets of Union, and
was given a life sentence at the Ana
mosa penitentiary. The plea Of Glenn
ons in his appeal is for reduction of
sentence, on the ground that he was
wrongfully convicted of murder in the
second degree. as the evidence showed
a lack of willfulness. The verdict, he
claims, should have been for man
slaughter, rather than second degree
murder.
