the seats passengers were allowed to
scatter peanut shells, refuse from .

In view of all these facts it was

port had been filed, that radical
changes must be made, nos only In
the methods of cleansing and caring

They Decided Not to Ignore the
City Treasurer.
Much Protest Heard Against Not Pro.
ceeding with Improvement
Work Now.
MUCH UNPARDoNABLE DELAY

Mayor Yeiser and the general coun
oil came down from their high hors'
last night and decided to follow tn,
law in regard to the city bonds. Their
first intention was to ignore the city
treasurer, the proper person to han.
die the 5000, 900, and let the mayor
and finance committee peddle the
money about whittier they would, bu,
lsst night they were advised by tbs
city solicitor that the city had ne
right to loan the money, and decided
not to do it.
The 100000 will be paid to Cits
Treasurer J. J. Dorian, the officia
designated by law to receive it,snd IN
pursuance Of an agreement given IL
full elsewhere, be disposed of in ,
way beneficial to the city.
The cause OF the whole trouble, anc
Of the necessity of having to loan the
money at all, is the delay of city offici
ais in preparing for the public i'm.
provemepts authorized nearly . year
ago, by vote Of tne people. This
everyone seems to realize, and the I'D
ministration lie having some very un-
complimentary things said about it,
IL has not yet, however, abandoned
its old tactics. Last night it took the
city hospital matter from the hands OF
the committee In which 1t had been
for the past several months, and turn
ed it over to the board Of public
works. This board knows nothing
about the case. and while it may
quickly advertise for bids and let the
contract, on the other hand Il may
do rs il plesses and as it has in case
Of the market house, take its time
and plenty of it
The hospital committee, which was
composed of four city officials and
four doctors, selected the plans, etc.,
but il these do not suit the board Of
public works, they do not have to use
them, but may spend several weeks
getting plans that suit them better,
as in the case of the market house. \
II is reported on good authority
that the board of public works does
not intend to build the new market
house this year, or even to begin 1t.
There is no particular reason for this
except that the board has the power
TO do ~ il likes and it does not want
to have the work done this year, il
appears.
Public sentiment is largely in favor
Of building the new market house, the
new city hospital and as much Of the
new streets as possible this year. Con-
say that both buildings can
easily be built this year. and much
Of the street work done.
Notwithstanding, the city officials
prefer to pay per cent for the mon
ey and loan it out at per cent, u
loss of about $4,000 year on the en-.
tire bond issue.
