JUeoLE BUCKET SHOP BILL.
Gjertsen Has His Pet Measure Sent
Back to Senate Lawyers.

The bucket shop bill was taken from
general orders in the senate yesterday
and sent back to the judiciary commit
tee.
The bill when introduced by Senator
Gjertsen, of Hennepin, was referred to
the Judiciary committee. That commit
tee wrestled with the measure for sew
eral days and sent it back to the SEN
ate without recommendation. When it
was reached in general orders yester-
day Senator Gjertsen asked that it be
returned to the judiciary committee.
1t is said that the bill was reported
out of the committee to have it print
ed. The printing has been ordered and
the senators will be ready for the
measure when it again returns from
the judiciary committee.

BUILD IRRIGATION LANE.
Krostue Wins Long Fight for Road
Through an Implanted Town.

Representative Gunder Krostue, Polk
county, yesterday won out in the pro-
tracted fight made on his road bill and
with the permission of the senate and
cooperation of the Polk county COM
nlissioners, a road will be built through
an unplatted Polk county town, the
town supervisor to the contrary, not
Withstanding.
The existing law puts the matter of
building roads through unplatted towns
entirely in the hands Of the town su-
pervisors except where the projected
roads are to be built on county lines.
One of the villages of Pe1k county
is about two miles from the Red river.
The village has booze to sell. The cit
liens on the Dakota side of the river
have a stable collective thirst. But

BUILDING COMMITTEE REPORT.
Shreveport, La, May ID, I9o3-To the
President and Members of the Police
Jury of Caddo Parish: We herewith
beg to hand you statement, furnished
by our rchitect, Mr.. A. J. Armstrong,
showing the original contract for the
parish JAIL together with the extras !;
also amount paid to the contractors, the
amount paid by the parish since the de-
fault of the contractors, tip to and in
Guiding May IS; also the estimated de-
felt which is to be recovered from the
contractors and the bond company.
You will notice from this statement
that the extras amount to SIz,2o2. 81. OF
this amount $11,I34 is for extra tounda-
ton. When work was begun on this
building it was found that the j. Riley
Gordon Company, architects. in the first
place had not provided sufficient foun-
dation to bring the building TIP level
with the street, and furthermore that the
major portion on the lots on which this
building was to be erected, having been
a part of the bed of old Duck lake, made
it necessary to go down verv deep in
order to get to solid ground to carry the
weight of this unusually heavy building.
r. ~, 1nrr
six feet square and about forty-two feet
deep, existed on the premises, and it be-
came necessary to go to the bottom of
hits we'll, remove all distractions and
fill it up solid with masonry. Your COM
mittee, under the advice of their super
intendent and architect, also increased
the width of the foundation footings,
realizing that on account of the immense
cell work the building would be very
heavy and without good foundation it
would, later on, be worthless.
In this statement you will also find
where it became necessary for us to in
crease the height of the second story, to
change the cell work in such way that
hammocks could be slung without OBJ
structing passageway going in and out
of the cells. 1t will also be seen that Our
architect estimates that the contractor
will have deficit of $o,774.25. The par
ish holds bond in the Union Surety
and Garanty Company for $6S,7oo, from
which they can undoubtedly recover this
deficit.
In conclusion we beg TO say that we
have had very competent and faithful
superintendent watching the construc-
ton of this building all the time, besides
having the services of Mr. A. ]. Arm
stong, as supervising architect, and the
extras which appear in the statement
hereto attached, while large, were abso-
lutely unavoidable in providing the par
ish with thoroughly substantial build
ing and one that would withstand the
weight of the steel and cell work of
about 200 tons. When this building is
completed the parish may boast of one
of the finest tails in the United States
and one which will be ample to provide
for its necessities for generations to
come.
