SIGNMAKERS GET BUSY
HAVE LITTLE LIKING FOR REGU-
.LATIoNs PROPOSED BY THE
BUILDING INSPECTOR.

. IF the sign makers have their way,
the building ordinance amendment pro-
posed by Building Inspector j. G..
Houghton for the regulation of street
signs will be a vastly different measure
when it, is passed.
The signmakers have sent delegations
to Mr.. Houghton, including George j.
sherer, d. E. Peterson and W: H.
Thurston, but have been unable to Sc
cure any compromise. He stands for
his original measure, prohibiting any
sign. from projecting more than three
feet from the building and requiring
attached to buildings.
The signpainters are willing to have
hanging signs limited to twelve feet in
length and will submit to License
They feel that Mr.. Houghton is over
strict in requiring permits to be taken
out The building inspector says that
personally he cares little what kind OF
an ordinance the council passes, as the
responsibility is on that body. He
thinks he has done his duty in prepar
ing the ordinance and pointing out the
dangers in the substitute prepared by
the sign men.

Minneapolis elevator men who have
followed the testimony in the rebate
inquiry at Washington were not sur
prised at the evidence Of A. B. Stick
ney, president Of the Great Western
road. Mr.. Stickney's attitude with
reference to rate regulation is so con-
trary to the position of other railroad
men, that his charge that railroads paid
elevator charges for heavy shippers in
stead Of allowing rebates, was to be ex-
pected from him.
The payment Of elevator charges is
an old matter. The interstate com,
merce commission acted upon it in June
1908, at a hearing in. Chicago, the
specific case being that Of contract
between the Union Pacific road anG
Peavey & Co., Of Minneapolis. 1t ap
peared that when grain was in transit
to eastern points where the rolling
stock would leave the rails Of the orig
mating road, and in other instances
where advantages would accrue to tn.
railroads from the prompt return o:
cars, it was the custom to reimburse
the elevator companies for handling thu
stuff, at about 1Ac hundred.
Testimony was given by Peavey
| Co., by Darius Miller, vice presiden
of the Burlington; Messrs. Monroe AM
Storr of the Union Pacific, and Grea
Western, and others. The commissio1
in December following found that sue
payment was legal and in no way cen
