ASK FOR BONDS
FOR THE REBATES
Attorney for Collection Agenc,
Seeks to Secure Payment
Immediately

The Minneapolis taxpayers are con-
fronted by another bond issue. The sum
of 100000 is needed to pay the claims
for rebates because of excessive assess
ments for permanent improvements.
The supreme court has held that the
maximum amount that can be charged for
the laying of a sewer is $3.50 per front
foot and where the sewer can be built
Tor less than this amount the taxpayer is
entitled to a rebate. For many years the
city assessed the rate of S150 per foot
regardless OF the cost of the sewer If
the cost exceeded this sum the money
was paid from the general fund and II it
cost less, the surplus was turned into
the general fund.
F. G. Snyder. as attorney for the John
.. PillSbury estate. took the matter to the
supreme court and secured a decision to
the effect that where the cost of the sew
er was less than $1.50 a foot the city
bate agency was established and Mr..
Synder. who was a former member of
the state senate, is the attorney for the
institution. Claims amounting to about
$ZoO,oO0 have accumulated and the tithes
charged by the rebate concern are % per
cent of the amount of money collected.
Yesterday the ways and means and tax
committees of the Minneapolis city coun-
Gil held q joint meeting on the issuance
OF bonds and the return of 100000 which
had been turned into a sinking fund.
The policy of the board of tax levy has
been TO appropriate about $4,000 annually
Tor this purpose, but noU 1t Is asked that
the work shall be cleared up at once.
The feature which the committee did
would go to the concern which has been
pressing the matter of rebates.
No action was taken and next week the
Joint committee and the sinking fund
commission will assemble for the purpose
OF determining whether the 500, 200 of the
permanent Improvement revolving. fund
which was covered into the sinking fund
can be used for the payment OF these re-
bates.

From Hotel

NEWARK, N. J., March 16.-A young
woman was apparently murdered last
night in a hotel here which had its
license revoked a week ago, but which
was still doing business because the

ehoked to death by a male companion
who left the hotel, after locking the
door behind him. No one saw him
leave.
The pair engaged a room at the hotel
for twenty-four hours on Wednesday
night and registered as d. Edwards

over IL so that Ii Is illegible. The man
left the hotel about 10 o'clock, but re-

ders- Nothing further was heard of
the pair until tonight, when the twen-
ty-four hours had expired. A brother
of the proprietor of the hotel, receiving
no response to knock forced an en-
trance through a window.
The woman lay dead on the bed, fully
attired except for hat and coat. She
lay face upward and there was a pill
