DODGED WATER TAX
Warrant Is Sworn Out for Arrest Of
q Member Of Fire De-
partment.
Had Secret Pipe From Main to His
House Many Similar
Offenses.

A warrant was sworn out this morning
by Inspector w. p. Race, OF the water
works department for an employs of the
fire department whoaundertook to defraud
the city by installing water connections in
his house without taking out a permit.
AS the arrest has not vet. been made, the
name is withheld by the authorities.
In this particular case the accused had
water In his yard, using goose neck"
hydrant. Without the knowledge of the
department he has recently been engaged
In taking the water into the house supply
ing two sinks. one upstairs and one down
stairs. He has been doing all the work
himself, either from motives Of economy
or because he could not get any plumbers
to help him out in what Is considered an
evident scheme to defraud the water de-.
partment by lodging the water rates.
There Is more or less Of such work going
on all the time, but the vigilance Of the in
spectors which has resulted in arrests and
the consequent penalty, has deferred the
violaters of the law from many repeti-
tions. Plumbers not infrequently were
willing to help out a friend by saying moth
ing about certain extensions, but after
several were flned they concluded that it
was about time to abandon that sort Of
friendships as being Improbable
| Occasionally the inspectors in their
rounds find connections not on their books,
which may nevertheless have been in ex-
lstence for years. In such cases a bill
for back water taxes amounting in some
cases to nearly 800 has been presented.
AS the guilty person could not be located
arrests are not made, but the department
psuhes all cases as hard as possible.
1t has been suggested that a thoro re-
inspection Of the whole city be made, as
1t Is believed that there are a number Of
houses irregularly piped for water Such
an inspection may cost more than would
actually be recovered. but the books
would then be In hrst-class condition and
this would be no little satisfaction.

WONT KEEP OFF NICOLLET
Transfer Companies Will Insist on
Sending Their Heavy Teams
Up the Avenue.

Representatives Of the transfer compa,-
MES and other companies which control
heavy teamtng In Minneapolis do not take
kindly to the suggestion Of the CONNER
clal club public affairs committee that
vans and other heavy wagons keep Off Of
Nicollet avenue.
There's no use talking about it, said
q representative Of Cameron's transfer
line. Our teams. and in fact all heavy
teams, have as much right on Nicollet
avenue as the lighter vehicles. For my
part, never noticed any particular con-
gestion Of traffic, such as is complained
OF on Nicollet avenue. For a street SO
given over to retail business, it is a re-
markabIe fact that an automobile can 20
up and down the line at fast clip, with
out trouble, at almost any hour Of the
day. 81 i
ssr THE fact to be considered is that Mic
ollet Is free from street cars, with which
there might be good cause for complaint.
As it is,. think there. is room enough
for ALI OF us. We pay our share Of the
taxes and will continue to use the most
convenient down town streets, even IL the
automobilists do object. It will be i'm
possible to rule us off,"

PRINT The REPORT |
Alderman Westphal Would Have
stacy's Finding in Revolving
Fund Inquiry Made Public.
Is - sgs.s4
Does Not Seek Political Capital, but,
Wants Modern system Of City
Bookkeeping.

There was not sufficient publicity given,
+. N. Stacy's report on the condition Of.
the permanent improvement revolving
fund to suit Alderman g. "A. Westphal,
chairman Of the council committee on ac-,
counts of city Officers, and at the next
meeting Of the council he will move that
the report be incorporated in the pro-.
ceedings Of the council and OFFICIALLY
printed, asahe considers that a proper and
modern system of accounting among the
VARIOUS city departments Is q matter of
public Importance. Nevertheless, there
appears to be an attempt on the part Of
the certain officials to smother the report
When 1t was presented to the council
it was referred to a joint committee with
out being read. It did not appear In the
official publication Of the council pro-
ceedings. Chairman Wesphal is not in
.cltned to blame City Clerk Lydiard, as
the report Is long one and it would cost
considerable money to- print 1t, in full
Moreover, he has been informed that 1t
Is not customary to print long reports
except upon, instructions from the coun-
Gil. 3
AT the same time Mr.. Westphal does not
overlook the fact that the city charter
expressly directs that 1.-The city clerk shall
record all assessfent rolls of special as
easements In books to be kept by him for
that purpose. Mr. Stacy is kind enough
/ 20 L1idL Lu0 city. ClcTh IS uOL
personally responsible for this neglect OF
duty as the council has not provided the
means. : Nevertheless, had such record
ben kept it would have been a. most eff
fective check against many changes,
which, even tho they had been made In
god faith, were plainly irregular.
Mr.. Westphal denies that he is seeking
| to. make any political capital out Of the
investigation. All the city officials will
be treated with the utmost consideration
and the sole aim is to provide the city
withsa comprehensive and =up-t o-date sys-
tenn OF bookkeeping whereby chances for
fraud and irregularities will be reduced to
| a minimum.

THEY NEED TIE SERVICE
Commission Men Support Their De-
mand for Refrigerator Cars
on North We stern.

Two Minneapolis commission firms made
a strong showing before the railroad and
warehouse commission to-day in support
of their plea for a bfweekly refrigerator
car service eastward on the Northwest
ern from Watertown, s. D., to. Mime
apolis. The Gamble Robinson company
and r. e. Cobb presented statements Of
the butter and egg traffic on this line the
last two summers. (which alone would
justify the service asked for. The state
ment included large bills OF damages from
customers, caused by lack Of refrigera-.
ton.
No appearance was made by. the rail-.
road to-day on account OF illness In the
family Of c.. A. Johnson, general agent
at Winona, who has charge Of the Sec
ton Of the system involved. The officials
Of the Omaha, which takes this traffic
into Minneapolis have declared their de-
sire for the service. The North Western
has until Tuesday to make an appear
ance. Meanwhile other commission firms
will make statements Of their receipts
over this line.
About the only question is whether the
commission has authority.
