NO NEW SIDEWALKS
UNTIL COURT ACTS
Judge Bunn's Decision Leaves the City
PowerIess at Present.

Not another wooden sidewalk in st.
Paul will be replaced with cement I'M
til the supreme court has passed one
way or another on Judge Bunn's deci-
sion that such improvements can be
made only on petition of the property
owners affected.
In st. Paul at the present time there
are many miles of wooden walk, some
of it so unsafe as to constitute a con-
slant menace to pedestrians and a liza
bility to the city, but the city is pow
erless to act under Judge Bunn's deci-
sion.
His honor's view is that sidewalks
can be replaced with other material
only when the property owner so petit
tons. AS only about one property
owner out of ten ever improves his
sidewalk without being compelled to do
SO, the city's position in the matter
can be readily seen.
Under the advice of the legal depart
ment the engineering department has
given notice that when defective
wooden sidewalk is hereafter brought
to it's attention, it will rip the walk
out and compel pedestrians to walk
over the bare ground. If a depression
exists the walk will thca be safeguard
ed to the extent of fencing it in.

MAY CLIMB STAIRS
THAT ARE NOT GILT
Building Inspector Threatens
to Shut Down
Elevators.

The popular song, walk, You Suck
er, Walk" may have local application
week after next If owners of passen-
gen and freight elevators continue to
ignore the city law which requires
self-locking gates on all elevators.
The time limit is March 6, and al
ready City Building Inspector Ellerbe
is sending out notices to owners of ele-
Vators calling their attention to the re-
quirement and notifying them of the
consequences that Will follow If they
continue to ignore 1t.
Shutting the elevators down alto
gether seems hardly warranted by the
ordinance demanding Self-lOcking
gates, but the building inspector says
drastic measures will be resorted to if
it is necessary to enforce the law The
ordinance was passed nearly a year
ago, and, outside Of the city hall, which
recently ordered a set of devices, only
one other building in the city is
equipped. The ordinance contemplates
the installation Of devices on elevator
gates Which Will only permit them be-
ing opened when on a level with a
floor, and then only after the ele-
Vator has been brought to a full stop,
and on freight elevators also.

VatOr shafts to the extent that there

A fine of from $25 to 500 is provid-
ed for violations, and if they are per-
sisted 10 the building department can
close down the elevator on the ground
that it is dangerous
The biggest kick against the ordi-
nance is the cost of the devices and
changes demanded. There are only
about two really meritorious gate
locking devices on the market, and 1t
is claimed that to equip a building
such as the Germania Life would cost
several thousand dollars.

FAIR PREMIUMS
ARE INCREASED
Proceedings of Managers Of
State Agricultural Society
Found to Be Valid.

At the annual meeting Of the board
of managers of the State Agricultural
society yesterday it was thought for
some time that the transactions of the
board for the past two or three years
would necessarily have to be rescind-
ed on account of the unknown repeal
ing of certain laws pertaining to the
membership of the society.
In amending the laws, about the
time of the institution of the Winona
and other street fairs, in order to pro-
vide for the membership Of these ex-
hibitors in the state association, the
legislature inadvertently struck out
certain clauses pertaining to the mem
bership of the presidents of the State
Horticultural association and others.
The matter was not discovered until
yesterdays meeting of the board, but,
by means of a clause, which states
that a majority vote is necessary, it
was seen that business transacted by
the board, though voted upon by these
presidents who according to the letter
of the amended law were not members,
was still valid.
No revision of these laws had been
made since 1869, and in order that
these matters may be corrected it is
proposed to revise and codify all leg
iSlatiOn pertaining to this organiza-
ton. This revision will soon be placed
before the legislature that other and
better laws may be made.
AT yesterdays morning session an
appropriation to the extent of $4,000
was made to defray the cost of a new
machinery building to replace the one
burned on the fair grounds several
years ago. The plans have been drawn
and the construction will begin as
soon as weather conditions will per-
NIT.
The entire premium list was also re-
vised, and will soon be ready for dis
tribution 1t will be of the most up
to-date nature. The amount to be
spent in premiums this year will ex-
coed the list of last season by over
$500. The business for the year was
concluded last evening.

TRUSTED FOR CIGARS
ON ANOTHER'S CREDIT
Peter Otto, Retailer, Trades on Good
Rating Of Peter Otto, Jobber.

Peter Otto, who came to st. Paul
from Saltwater several months ago
and opened a cigar store on Jackson
street, is said to be missing, and Peter
otto, who is a cigar jobber with head
quarters in the Gilf1llan block, is hav-
ing much trouble as a result of bear
ing the same name.
Otto, the jobber, is a substantial
business man and has a good rating in
Bradstreet's. The rating of the other
Peter Otto was not so good, but when
he opened a cigar store and ordered
goods from Eastern firms on credit,
he had no trouble in securing them.
He bought many goods in this man

splendid rating his creditors supposed
he had, they charge him with neglect
ing to settle his bills.
When the cigar store Peter Otto
left town, his creditors attempted to
collect from Otto, the jobber, and it
was then that they learned they had
been selling goods to one man on the

Since the departure of Otto, some

the case, allowed the plaintiff to re-
cover the goods, the jobber making no
claim to them.

OPPOSE CUTTING
PENALTY ON TAXES
County Treasures of State
UnfavOrable to Bill Pro
posing Reduction

A permanent organization of the
Minnesota Association of County
Treasures was effected at a meeting
held at the court house in st. Paul
yesterday. The county treasurers have
had temporary organization for two
years. and it was decided at yester-
days meeting to make the organization
permanent. Less than twenty-five of
the eighty-four treaSurerS of the state
were in attendance at the meeting, but
regardless of the small attendance a
very interesting meeting was had.
Much of the day was devoted to a
discussion of pending legislation of in
terest to county treaSurers. One bill
especially now before the legislature
received much attention, inaSmuch as
it provides for the adjustment of the
10 per cent penalty on current taxes
now accruing on June 1, in the place
of which it is proposed to charge a
penalty of l per cent per month after
taxes become delinquent. The bill is
opposed by the treasurers, who claim
its adoption will be a very bad thing
for most of the counties.
Treasurer P. J. Metzdorf, of Ramsey
county, argued that if such law were
in force 1t would result in the heavy
taxpayers waiting until the end Of the
year before paying the taxes which
now become delinquent on June 1.
1.-THE heavy taxpayers" said Mr..
Metzdorf, would rather wait until the
end of the year and then pay penalty
Of per cent whereas under the pres
ent law, which provides for 10 per
cent penalty, nearly all Of them pay
up promptly. The adoption Of such a
law would mean that we would have
no money with which to carry on bust
ness during the early part of the year.
1t would be a very bad thing for Ram
sey county"
Mr.. Metzdorf presented figures to
show that under the present system
more than II per cent of the current
taxes were paid before June l.
Another matter considered was that
of having the legislature provide for
clerk hire for the treasurers Of the
smaller counties. Under the present
system many treasurers are allowed
nothing for clerk hire, and on this ac-
count many of them were unable to
attend the meeting yesterday. officers
of the association were elected as fol-
lows:
President, D. c. Bell, Hennepin; vice
president, Chris Schmidt, Stearns;
secretary, p. J. Metzdorf, Ramsey;
treasurer, d. T. Qualey, Dakota.

as there was no quorum they adjourn
ed, with a request to the clerk to call
a meeting next Tuesday afternoon,
and to notify all parties concerned.
One lone individual, with a kick on

ance, but he was asked to defer his
grievance until the date set. The CONT
mittee have asked all coal dealers to
appear, and especially request that

New Eight Room Building
in First Ward, the Phalen
Park School.

The board of school inspectors at a
special meeting yesterday afternoon
approved the plans for the Cushman
K. Davis school building at Toronto
and Jefferson streets, as prepared by
A. F. Gauger, the architect. The struc
ture will cost about $30,500, the in
creased cost over that Of eight-room
buildings in other parts of the city
being due to the site which is located
on a stone quarry.
The plan submitted by Herman
Kretz for the four-rOOm addition to
the Irving school in the Seventh ward
was also approved. The addition will
cost $4,000.
When the board took up the Ques-
building in the First ward, the archi-
tect, J. W. Stevens, said he should be
informed as to the size Of the lot be-
fore he could prepare the plans.
Site Not Determined.
This brought out the statement that
the board had not decided as to the
location Of the new building. The street
railway company owns seven lots,
with a frontage Of 28O feet, on Mary
land street, and running back to an
alley on Greenbrier avenue LAG feet.
The railway company wants 50, for
the tract, and the owners of the other
lots fronting on Rose street and run
ming back to the alley also want ST.
100. AS the board has set apart but
$4,000 for the site, it was decided to
try and get along with the tract own
ed by the street railway company.
President Holman expressed the
opinion. that the city could vacate the
alley east of the street railway prop
erty, which would give a site 2SOx146
feet.
Mr.. Stevens presented sketches Of
the proposed building, but said he pre-
ferred to wait until he was positive
about the size of the lot before prepar-
ing plans.
The board decided to name the new
building the Phalen Park school.
On the advice Of the corporation at
torney the claim of Timothy Reardon
for extra work at the Mckinley school,
amounting to $3.50, was disallowed.
