MEN MUST MOVE IN.
superintendent Goodrich Wants Trim
mers Near Light Plant.

Superintendent Goodrich is having
some trouble to arrange the working
hours at the city electric light plant.
He wants some of the trimmers to live
near the plant so that they can be
called on in emergencies at night. AT
present, only one trimmer lives near
the plant, and the result is that he had
to attend to all the night calls, which
is manifestly unfair Whenever a
lamp gets out of fix. or a break occurs
somewhere out on the line. a man
must be sent out to repair the trouble.
Such breaks do not often occur at
night, but the trimmers are supposed
to be on hand to attend to them when
they occur. The trimmers work very
easy hours, and get good pay, and il
is not too much to expect that they
should be on hand to attend to night
calls in an emergency.
1t used to be the rule at the cleo
trio light plant that the trimmers had
to live near the plant. This rule
seems to have fallen into neglect. 1t
ought to be revived. If the trimmers
do not care to move, the city can no
doubt find scores of good men who will
take their places at the present rate
of pay. $3.50 a month.
1t is said that the present force of
trimmers objects to complying with
the requirements of their positions.
and may quit. There is mighty little
danger of their quitting. but their
places could easily be filled if they did.
There are always dozens of applica-
lions for positions on the electric light
force.
superintendent Goodrich has given
the men an option of three plans OF
action. They can either move down
close to the plant. or they can sleep a
certain number of nights a month at
the power house, or they can have a
telephone put into their residence. The
men object to all these plans. and
have appealed to the mayor.

Gus. A big convention was in progress
around every electrical light Said one
man:
Il never before saw SO many bugs
around the lights, and I have been here
for a good many years. We found it
impossible to do anything in our store.

The little green bugs were not the
only kind which were out in vast num-
bers. In the swarm little green
bugs, which was constantly swirlins
around the electric lights, were thou
sands of bigger bugs. In some parts
of town there were myriads of locusts,
and their harsh orchestral efforts ov-
empowered all other noises. The locusts
usually took refuge in the tree tops
near the electric lights. and made the
music to which the little green bugs
danced. 1t was a grand ball and no

The little green bugs have visited
Kansas City before, but never in such
numbers as last night. In some parts
of the down town business district they
almost forced the suspension of bust
ness in restaurants. drug stores, sa-
looms and such other places as were
open.
The bugs were probably more num-
erous along Main and Walnut streets
from Ninth to Twelfth streets than in
any other part of the city. Along Main
street where many of the stores have
the bugs would fall in such numbers as
to cover the floors of the dOOrwayS to
the depth of an inch. or more with

streets business houses were forced to
turn out their electric lights and use

billion bugs in Topeka last
night, that would mean about 425,-
10000 to each one of the people in
Topeka, and it is likely that this is
about the correct figure. People who
had to write or do other kind of work
under a strong light last night would
probably be willing to swear that they
got a great deal more than their
share.
Electric light globes on the street
corners, were filled with the carcasseS
of bugs, and throughout the night the
smoke from these electric crematorieS
assembled. This morning, the ground
imme diately under the lamps is car

Whether they all get killed off around

few bugs flying around, but the
chances are that the pest will not be

HAS HUGHES LOST
Made q Harmless Motion Which
May ThWart Him.
Likely to Assure New Sixth
Ward Sewer.
DOES NOT UNDERSTAND
Says He Is Still Opposed to the
Project
Doesn't Want Sewer Until
There Is Water.
DOES NOT UNDERSTAND

One little act of the city council
Monday night seems to have clinched
the construction of the proposed Sixth
ward sewer, and brought TO naught
the fight on the construction of the
sewer which was being carefully plan
ned by Councilman J. W. F. Hughes
of the Sixth ward.
The funny part of it is that Hughes
himself made the motion Monday
night which now threatens to block
and baff1e his plans. He did this with
out realizing the possible effect on the
sewer proposition
Hughes motion. as adopted by the
council provided that the city should
pay for the construction of the new
outlet for the Potwfn sewer out of the
general revenue fund, and reimburse
that fund when the special assess
mentS for paying for the sewer outlet
are collected. This seemed harmless
enough but the effect of it was to bind
the council to reimburse the general
revenue fund by means of special as
seSSments collected from n proposed
benefit district which under the ordf-
nance passed May ,, 1904, includes the
whole OF Lowman HILL Unless the
council now allows LoWman Hill TO
build the sewer advocated by Coun-
Gilman SwendsOn, and connect that
sewer with the Potwin sewer. I.ownnan
Hill cannot be forced to help pay for
the Potwin sewer outlet. because it
would derive no benefit therefrom.
Hughes has been fighting Swendson
throughout on the proposed Lowman
Hill sewer Hughes did not want the
sewer 10 connect with the Potwin
sewer He thought it would overload
the Potwin sewer. and make it neceS-
sary for Potwin people to build a new
sewer II was generally supposed,
when Hughes himself made the mo-
ton to bind the city to pay for the
sewer outlet, that he and Swendson
had fixed up their differences, and
would work in harmony for the con-
structiOn of the sewer Hughes says
this isn't SO.
No indeed. have not changed my
attitude on the proposed Lowman It'll
sewer" said Colonel Hughes today. Il
am Just as much opposed 70 it as ever,
and expect to beat il when the time
comes.
