IT LOOKED ONE-SIDED
FURRY OVER LOGS AND LUMBER
IN STATE BOARD.
Charges Made BY M. Nachbor and
Then an Exciting Scene Follows;
Some Sharp Words.

Direct charges of one sided cOnsidera
ton of the returns on logs and lumber
for the state were made at the meeting
of the board of equalization at the cap
itol yesterday.
NJ Nachbor of Jordan, new member
of the board, made the charge, that in
consideration of the returns, he with
other members of the committee had
been ignored entirely in the preparation
of the committees findings and report.
The committees report which was
made by George w. Knox of Aitkin,
the chairman, was in substance a recom-
mendation to accept the returns as
made by the lumbermen, trihe over
81, 100000 for the state. The report
was made last Saturday. Mr.. KnoX's
recommendations, however, We're not
accepted in their entirety, and when the
days work was finished several of the
counties where lumber is the principal
industry had received some stiff raises.
Beltrami county for one was given a 70
per cent raise.
When work was resumed this morn
ing on the returns, the lumber interests
at once got busy and every effort was
made to sidetrack the whole thing Sug
eestions were made to consider the re-
turns with that of class L., which reads:
material and manufactured articles of
manufacturers" This would have put
the city members on the defensive, and
as naturally to keep the wholesale prod
ucts within reason, they would have to
side with the lumber men in their eff
forts to prevent raise on logs and
lumber.
This angered Commissioner Nachbor,
and rising, pointin ghis finger at Com
missioner Knox, the chairman of the
committee, he asked:
did the committee on logs and lum-
Der ever hold a meeting, MIR. Knox?"
81 think l consulted every one of
them. | know | went into the returns
thoroughly and saw all interests" an
swered Mr.. Knox.
"Well. | never attended a meeting.
If there was one, | knew nothing about
it, The whole thing seems to be one
sided. 1t looks to me as if it was fix
ed" retorted Mr. Nachbor.
At this juncture a member interfered
to suggest that the consideration of the
| item be carried over to the afternoon ses-
sion and the motion was adopted. 1t was
preceded by long argument, however. as
to the feasibility of considering the
item alone, those standing for Mr..
Knox's report claiming that it could not
be DONE
R. F. DAILY, fRenville, leader of
the democratic side, was insisting that
the returns be considered separately.
i That a raise of many of the other
counties on logs and lumber was con-
templated was evident, for number of
the new members, anticipating an effort
to keep down a boost, had fortified
themselves with figures. 1t was known
that motion for a 200 per cent raise
for st. Louis county alone was under
consideration.

V'oioVV'Oo
Aid. Schroeder said that several prop
erty owners living on Marsh street had
ago to lay a two plank sidewalk on
that street and that it had never been
matter up and he found out that the
petition had been referred to a commit
tee and the committee never took any
action on the matter. The board of
public works was instructed to prepare
resolution for the sidewalk.
The restaurant firm of Smith & Men
ton, who are putting up new building
next to the city hall were quite anx-
ious to make arrangements with the
city to heat their new building with
steam from the boiler in the city hall
The owners of tte new building figured
that they could run the pipes through
the stone wa1l from basement to base
ment. The aldermen voted to turn
down the request.
Bids were opened for the construction
of wagon shed in the rear of the cen
trail fire station. Bishman Bros, bid
S29S. so and j. B. Nielsen & Co., 1850
Aid. Mahowald made motion Chat the
contract be awarded to Bishman Bros,
thew being the lowest bidders. The
motion carried. i.
Aid. Hampl told the other aldermen
that Windmiller Bros, were ready to
commence work on the new artesian
we'll and he suggested that the alder
men and the members of the board OF
public works look over the ground in
lower town and decide where To- locate
the new we'll The aldermen will COM
ply with Aid Hampl's request in the
near future.
The contract for constructing the well
was signed by the mayor and city re-
corder and Windmiller Bros bond for
81 500, was approved on motion made
by Aid. Schroeder. The sureties on the
bond are Fred Kron and Charles j. Mac
beth.
Aid. Hampl complained about the con-
dition that Madison avenue was in and
he suggested that the city fix up the
avenue right away between Fourth and
Fifth streets. The aldermen voted to
have City Engineer Thompson make the
needed repairs right away.
Aid Atchison said it was a shame the
way the Blue Earth county commission
ers neglected the boulevard in front of
the Jail and court house on Fifth street,
The other aldermen also scored the
county commissioners for neglecting
the lawn The aldermen finally de-
cided to call on the commissioners at
the court room today and explain the
matter to them.
w. E. Polzin appeared before the
council and asked the aldermen to drop
lot 10. block 2, situated on Hubbell ave-
nue. from the condemned sidewalk list.
There is no need of sidewalk there
and if new houses are built up Mr..
Polzin will build the sidewalk. Aid.
WiImot made a motion that the lot be
left off the list and it was seconded by
Aid. Schroeder The motion carried.
The council voted to notify Fred
Boegen to ubild new sidewalk in
front of his property on Fifth street. He
now has a cinder walk in front of his
residence.
Aid Schroeder stated that the prop
erty owners on Fifth street were neg
Letting the boulevard and he said vines
were growing out over the curb. The
council requested the city engineer to
ask the property owners to keep the
lawns looking nice.

ST. PETER MUST BRACE UP.
No Free Delivery Unless Side-walks

Washington, D. c., Sept. 27.-Al-
though no report has been received at
the postoffice department on the inspec-
ton at st. Peter, Mimi, with a view to
establishing city free delivery service,
officials here say they will insist on
city authorities complying with the reg
ulations, which require that there shall
be good sidewalks on the streets includ-
ed in the free delivery district, with
street lights, houses numbered and the
names of streets posted at intersections.
Department officials say these require
ments are fair and that compliance with
them has been insisted upon in other
cities, and that no exception will be
made in the case of st. Peter.

OHIO TOWN BARS NEGRO

In Syracuse. Ohio. on the Ohio river,
four miles above Pomeroy. a town Of
about 1900 inhabitants, no negro is per-
mitted to live. No negro is permitted to
stay in the town over night unded any
consideration. This is an absolute rule
this year, and it has existed for several
generations. The enforcement Of this un-
written law for keeping the negro from
staying in the town over a single night
is in the hands of the boys from p TO 20
years old, while the attempt of a negro
to become a resident Of the town is re-
sisted by the town en- masse.
The cause Of this extraordinary race
prejudice, says the Independent is hard
to discern. The majority of the inhabi-
tants are not from the South, but
strange to say, are Of New England
stock. ltt f4.
Since the town was founded, about 1915,
not a single negro family has lived in f..
About the year 1866 two negroes were em-
ployed as domestics by a family in the
extreme lower end of the town, practi-
cally in the country, but they did not
stay long Since the Civil War two at
tempts have been made by nego families
