present playing at the Keylor Grand
stand a good chance of overlooking
some of their best opportunities.
Last night to a fair sized house this
company produced the play La Belle
Marie" and their production of this
celebrated play was both finished and
artistic. The play as put on by the
company now occupying the Keylol
Grand, is altogether different from the
La Belle Marie" as played in this city
by visiting companies in the past. 1t
is much better in every way.
Elsie Gresham as La Belle Marie

Gresham's support was quite up to the
work last night, too, with the result
that the production was one of the
best that the company has put on since
opening their engagement in this city.

and those who attend the Keylor

COMMITTEE TO INVES-
TIGATE BUILDING INSPEC-
TORS OFFICE.
Taxpayer Claims That Appointment
Was Never Legally Made by the
Present Council.

Whether Councilman Glasford is il
legally holding down the position of
building inspector is a matter that
the judiciary committee of the council
will delve into and report on at the
next. regular meeting. The question
bobbed up rather unexpectedly in coun-
Gil last night, when a communication
from a property owner signed by the
non de plume of Taxpayer" was filed
with the clerk and read Taxpayer"
said ne had recently examined the Gull
len building in East Main street, par
italy destroyed by fire a short time
ago and believed that the repairs
made on the building were contrary
to the city building ordinance AS a
taxpayer of the city he believed that
the repair of wooden buildings within
the fire limits should be carefully
guarded.
Taxpayer" then opened the subject
of whether or not the building inspector
is legally holding the position by
asking if the venerable councilmans
appointment had ever been ratified by
the new council. He understood that
it had not. Councilman Glasford said,
in defending his position in allowing
repairs to be made on the Cullen build
ing that not to exceed five per cent
Of the building proper had been burn
rear had been practically destroyed
but these had not figured in the esti-
mate provided for in the city building
ordinance, which specified that no
repairs shall be made On a wooden
building within the fire limits that has
been 80 per cent destroyed
AS to whether he had been le-
gally appointed building inspector.
Councilman Glasford said ne had a
certificate, duly certified, to that effect.
Mexican raised the point whether OF
not an appointment such as Council.
council, held good. City Attorney
Bandford referred to the city ordi-
nance covering the appointing OF
the building inspector, which reads
that the inspector shall hold office
until his successor is qualified, or the
appointment is revoked. AS there
seemed to be some doubt about the
matter, Bridges moved that the mat
ter be referred to the judiciary com
mittec for investigation. the COM
mittee to report at the next regular
meeting.
Council Glasford asked to be ex
cused from sitting in the council while
the vote was being taken.

The socialists do not approve rate
regulation. Wilshire's Magazine says:
THE freer the capitalists are to de-
velop capitalism, the sooner will be
the necessity of the change to social
ism. Therefore the more the state in
terferes with the plans of the great
capitalists the less the rapidity of the
progress to the cooperative common
wealth"
The socialist considers the present
situation too good an object lesson to
be interfered with.
