WONDER how the Democratic ma
iority in the Council which went into
office on an anti-bond issue is going
to get around the proposition to bond
the city presented by Democratic
School Board? The interest on bonds
issued to build schools is just as high
as on bonds issued to build sewers.

SENATOR" ovERMAN NOT IN IT.
The Bristow Report Related to an Ante
Election Transaction.

In Tuesdays Star was printed sum-
mary of the names of members of the
House and Senate included in the report
which was made to the House of Represen-'
tatives Monday, relating to the dealings OF
representatives with the Post Office Depart
ment concerning leases of premises and al
lowances for rent, fuel and light. In this
list was included the name of Senator
Overman of North Carolina. This state
ment of the matter, it appears, gave an
erroneous impression of the circumstances
of the case. 1t is stated by one in author
ity that the report itself does not refer to
him in his capacity as a member of the
Senate, but relates to transaction which
occurred prior to his election to that body.
On pages 1872 and 1913 it is stated that Mr..
Overnan leased his building to the gov
eminent for a post Office in 1899, and in
1902 he wrote to his representative, Mr..
kluttZ, to have an allowance made for
lights and fuel for the reasons contained
In his letter to Mr.. kluttZ, as printed in
the report He was not elected to the Sen
ate until 1903, and after his election he Of
fered to surrender the lease, but the Of
fer was refused, as the report shows.
Senator Overman, il is stated, never visit
ed or wrote the Post Office Department, or
any of it's officers, in regard to any lease,
or any allowance for rents, fuel and lights
for himself any one else.
