MORE MONEY
Paid Into the City Treasury by
the Gamblers.

The police arrested Tom Denny,
Saturday night at eleven o'clock, for
keeping a gambling room over the
Berry saloon, on West Chillicothe
avenue. He pleaded guilty and was
fined $50 and costs.
In paying his fine the defendant
handed over a certificate of deposit
that indicated very plainly that it
had been given him by another
party, to make him safe, in case he
was arrested.
The gambling places are all run by
accomplices-a new one after every
fine-to prevent the assessment of
heavier penalties on second convic-
ton

Judge Dow, yesterday, decided un-
constitutional the law providing for
a special election to vote sl640 to re-
reimburse Smallwood Thompson as
bondsman of Ingle Rush, Judge Dow

that special act could not create
an Indebtedness against the township.
He found the act deficient and un-
sound in several other respects.

Springs, during strike. to work in
the mines at Johannesburg, South
Africa, and afterward enlisted and
fought with the Beers during the
war, drifted into our city yesterday
on a Big Four train, en- route for
Cincinnati. He saw plenty of SER
vice, and sides with the Beers, but he
doesn't think there is any fun in war,
and he wouldn't advise any young
man to seek the job of facing storm
of bullets with a view to making
meteorological observations-though
he may see stars.

REPORT
or the Committee. Appointed by
Council to Examine into the
Management of the
Gas Works.

The Committee appointed by Coun.
Gil to look into the management OF
the Gas Works, reported to Council,
Wednesday evening. Their report
was as follows:
To the Honorable Council of the City OF
Bellefontaine, Ohio:
Your committee, to whom was re-
ferred the report recently made by the
Gas Trustees, beg leave to report as
follows:
Your committee, in company with
the Mayor and City Solicitor, whom
they had requested to be present, have
gone through said report thoroughly
and find:

Previous to the year 1900 the system
of bookkeeping was very bad, and it
would be impossible to make any in
telligible report for the period prior to
that date.
We feel it due to the Superintendent
to say that prior to the year 1902 he
did not have charge of the Office work.
We find that there are uncollected
bills:
Prior to September. 1902 02---------s sll 81

We find that several irresponsible
and execution proof parties have been
allowed to run months without being
compelled to pay. This we think an
injustice to the taxpayer, and to the
other gas consumers. We recommend
that all consumers be required to pay
promptly according to the rules OF the
Gas Works, and on their failure so to
do, that the Trustees cause their gas
to be turned of. and only turned on
again after the payment of a proper
penalty. However, we recommend
that the delinquents of more than &C
days standing be permitted to pay
their old bills in installments OF not
less than 10 per cent per month, and
on their failure to do so, the entire
bill shall be paid before the gas is
turned on again.
