surprise by rESing that all money for

Although it Was generally under

the approval of the country. members,
who, have. heretofore had personal SUI,

the position in which he was placed,
tool. the initiating, "a and introduced the
resolution. CpmIilissioner Wright,
however, opposed it openly.
Opposed to- Own Resolution
1t now develops that Commissioner
! Powers is strongly opposed to the res
:oiution which he Introduced, and only
last night; he declared no work would
ever be. done under the provisions of
that resolution.
The latest attitude of the country
members, who have the backing of the
Big Four combination, is to, tie up all
road work until permitted to return to
stflep old system, which gives to the
board the right to repair the roads and
bridges as they see fit.
The willingness of County Auditor
Krahmer to assist in this scheme by
Joining with the big four" is said by
persons on the inside to have a double
reason 1t is stated that he desires
{ to- play in with the combination for
ibis own political interests, and that it
has been pointed out to him that it
would be bad politics to permit County
FAttorney Kane to have the credit for
placing the. expenditure of the repair
+ fund under the. supervision of the town
boards.
Z Nothing whatever has been done with
a dollar of the $4,000 appropriated fol,
repairs. The various town treasurers
+ have filed their bonds and have APP
piled for the warrants for amounts to
5 be expended in their districts, but the
auditor has thus faS declined to issue
the Warrants He GAINS the system is
illegal, but in. the face of his claim he
has an opinion from County Attorney

MAYOR WILL oppose.
INCREASE IN BUDGET
Several Items May Be Pruned When
County Commissioners: Meet

The board of county commissioners
Were to have met yesterday for the
purpose of considering the. budget, but.
owing to the absence OF, some of the
members, little or nothing was accom-
plished. Mayor Smith went on record
as being opposed to any material in
crease in the budget on the ground
that taxes are already high enough.
The mayor said he would oppose the
proposed increase from $35, 600 to $780,
900 in the road and bridge fund, believ-
ing the present apportionment to be
large enough to permit of a liberal ex-
penditure for permanent road work He
also opposes the item for $4,000 in the
budget for redeeming bonds, believing
these bonds should be renewed at this
time instead of being taken UP.
No action was taken on any OF the
items, but the board will meet again
tomorrow, when the budget will be
taken UP again.

SANDSTONE on I HIRD
Board of Public Works viii
Recommend 1t for Paving

The question of repaving Third
street, from Sibley to Wabasha streets,
and from Wabasha street to Seven cor.
ners, was discussed before, the board OF
public works yesterday afternoon BIZ
several dozen property owners and reaI
estate agents, The majority of the
speakers favored the Improvement In
view, however, of some difference CT
opinion as to the material to be used,
action was deferred. until the board
meets again next Monday.
For paving West Third street the
estimates We're: Brick, $4,75. a foot;
sandstone, $3.50; asphalt, 1926.
j. D. and ]. S. Simonton maintained
that part of the present pavement be-
low, Wabasha street would last several
years longer, and should not be sacri--
/ feed. An agent suggested that West
Third street needed sanitary clean
ing" more than it did a pavement. A
5 third speaker declared that the owners
had paid $15- a front foot for three
pavement within thirty years; it was,
time the city paid part of the expense.
/ j. w Taylor thought that, if the.
pavement was renewed, granite and
not sandstone would be the better ma
terial. He had noticed that sandstone
laid recently along West Seventh street
had already begun to cup that is, to
show hollOwS where soft parts Of the
stone had worn away.
Mr.. Taylor's statement was not dis
puted at the time. But members of the
board agreed later. that, although they
had frequently traversed. West Seventh
street, they had observed. no. "cupping.''
In any event, the contractors were
bound to replace any blocks in which
defects might develop within five years.
Most of the property owners APP
| proved of the board intention to. REG
I om1nend sandstone. sAeS s7ag
The board agreed, to. report fayorably
4 en- the proposed. paving of Summit
avenue with asphalt between Wabasha
| and Robert streets. The estimated
| cost is $3.50 a foot ~
As to the paving of Central avenue
between Cedar and ST. Peter streets; it
was pointed out that the part between
I Cedar and Wabasha streets; having
been paved with wooden blocks which
have decayed, was beyond repair, but
!. that the one block between Wabasha
and ST. Peter streets was a. dirt
road and could be repaired. The board
decided, therefore, that: new pavement
should be recommended for. Central
avenues, between Cedar and Wabasha
streets, and that the. material should
/ be: sandstone.

Minnesota had an excellent exhibit

said President Furlong, of the assecia-
ton, last night, land we hope that the
interests of the steeknen of the state
will be fully as we'll advertised at. the
st. Louis fair. The horse exhibits will
be held early in August. and will be
followed by the exilibitss for cattle,
sheep and swine. Minnesota is one of
the leading stock producing states of
the country and since the exhibits of
stock will be grouped by states a good
showing at st. Louis. wsilk be. of great
benefit to the state.
L The stockmen of the state take
quite risk in exhibiting their choice
animals at st. Louis. There is the
danger of accident in the long rail

death: to. the animals from climatic
changes and the heat"

Standing with the country members
of the. county board in. their efforts to-
have the road and bridge fund eN-~
pended under their, personal supervi-
sion, County Auditor Krahmer has
tied up all of the road work in tile.
county by his refusal to issue warrants
in favor Of the town treasurers, under
whose supervision County Attorney
Kane says the repair work must be
done.
Mr.. Krahmer absolutely refuses tos
recognize, the opinion of the county
attorney, and although the town treas
urers have complied. with the law by
furnishing bonds to secure the proper
expenditure of. the money, the auditor
refuses to issue the warrants, and. I'M
til he does SO no work will be done on
the country roads. -
The object of the county auditor in
withholding the warrants. after hay
ing received an opinion. from County
Attorney, Kane to. the effect that the
proceedings We're. legal. is believed. to.
have been uneenseieusly tipped by.
County Commissioner Powers last
night, when he said:
THE. roads of Ramsey county will
never be repaired. under the supervi-,
sion of the town supervisors; they
will be repairedf in the old way, under
the supervision of our own board, or
not at ALL The county auditor will
never issue warrants to the treasurers.
Of the town. boards, and we will go
back to the old SYSTEM. regardless of
any ruling the county attorney may
make"
This statement by Commissioners
Powers to which he. added that the,
plan to- have the roads repaired I'M
der the supervision of the township
boards, was, in his, opinion, Illegal. is
somewhat pulling, since it was, Mr..
Powers who introduced the resolution
providing for the expenditure of the
repair fund in this manner.
Powers, Action Surprise ar-a5
Mr.. Powers action in presenting the
resolution created some surprise at the
time, as it was known, that. he was
radically opposed to- any system. other
than that which would allow the road
and bridge fund to be expended un-
der the. supervision Of the country
