IT WORKS IN ST. JOE.
Municipal Asphalt Plant Found to Be
Success.

Mayor Davis has received COM
munication from Mayor Spratt, of St
Joseph. saying that the city of ST.
Joseph owns it's own asphalt repair
plant. has found it most successful,
and the city council is now considering
the establishing of a larger and more
extensive plant
In ST. Joseph the asphalt pavements
were patched at a cost of II cents a
square yard. The Barber company
contract price for repairing in st.
Joseph was. $1.25 and the price for re-
construction $1.S5. The entire outfit
used in ST. Joseph, for repairing done
by the city, was an oven wagon which
cost $44S.
In his annual message to the city
council last April Mayor Spratt said:
During the year past we have pur-
chased and operated a small municipal
asphalt plant. This was a new de-
parture for our city, but it has proven
both profitable and expedient- Here
tofore all our asphalt streets have
long suffered for repairs, owing TO the
| fact that the Barber people who have
owned the only plant located here,
would delay their repairs, waiting for
| a large amount of work, claiming it
was Improbable to- them to operate
unless their plant could run at full
capacity.
has been constantly at work, going
over the Streets and has demonstrated
gain and again that "a stitch in time
saves nines Our asphalt thorough
fares are in better condition now than
/ thew have ever been, and much money
| has been saved to the CITY, as well as
to the property owners.
sIt is advised that a larger. and more
lextensive asphalt plant be purchased
bv the CITY, and located on the ground
near the city electric light plant, where
it may be operated by the same power
as is used by the electric light plant
thereby reducing or minimizing the ex-
pense of operation.
In st. Joseph the pavements are re-
paired with the old asphalt, which is
taken up. remelted, treated with water
and tar and given new life by the use
/ of oil and relaid-
Il believe that this st. Joseph pro-
| position is a good one said Mayor
| Davis. cit is well worth close in
vestigation. I think our city engineer
and a party from the council shoulc
go over to St. Joseph and make close
Investigation. If we can resurfact

asphalt and by buying an oven wager

IT IS OVER AT LAST.
e. S. Quinton Wins Last of Renling-
ton Paper Company Gases.

The last of the Remington Paper
company cases has been wiped from
the docket of the United States court
of appeals at st. Paul. The court on
Thursday gave a judgment for $4,000
and costs against T. w. Harrison of
Topeka, one of the old Capital stock
holders, thus affirming the decision of
Judge Pollock.
The suit was originally for $500
which was due on a claim for paper
used by the Daily Capital.
E. S. Quinton commenced the action
eight years ago and it has been fought
through all the federal and state
courts After Mr.. Quinton had secured
a judgment against the Capital COM
pany he found that he could collect
nothing and then began proceedings
against the individual stockholders.
AS fast as he secured judgments they
were appealed and it was years before
the last nail was driven at st. Paul on
Thursday
Meanwhile the claim has been
growing until it now amounts to about
$4,000. This Mr.. Quinton will now
be able to collect as several of the old
stockholders are responsible.
Judgments have been secured
against the following stockholders:
J. K Hudson, $4,000; Dell Keller,
$4,000; Harold T. Chase, $10,0 900; T.
w. Harrison, $4,000; Arthur Capper,
$4,000; r. L. Thomas, $4,000.

MAYOR WON'T STAND IT
New Salary Ordinance Must BE Re
vised. He Says.

At the next meeting of the city
council the salary ordinance, passed at
the last meeting. which increased the
pay of the police will be reconsidered
and it is almost certain that it will be
repealed and new ordinance will be
passed which will not give the police
any such increase in salaries as was
carried by the ordinance just passed.
Mayor Davis has been opposed to
any such increases in pay as the ordi-
nounced that the increase would
amount to 5000 a year and that this
would bring the expenses of the city
for the year to total of 200 greater
than the income, several of the coun-
cilmen who were strongest in their
support of the increase are now willing
to reconsider.
1t has been suggested to Mayor
Davis, and he approves the suggestion,
that instead of the salary of chief of
police being increased from $1,000 to
500 a year that it be increased to
81, 200; that the pay OF the patrolnen
be increased from $50 to $65 month,
instead of to $40; that the pay, of the
sergeants be increased from $65 to
$75 a month, the same as the new
ordinance provides; and that the pay
of plain clothes men be increased
from $50 to $65 a month instead of to
SIS a month. Such increases would
mean a total increase of about $4,000
a year instead of $4,000. tTa
Il think that the police should re-
ceive more pay" said Mayor Davis to
Councilman Holiday. But this ordi-
nance increases the annual expenses
of the. city over 81 900 and the city
will be behind about 50, 600 at the end
of the year. What shall we dog" gef
Get more money" lacorlicaily re-
piled Holiday.
rBut how9'' - ~ z6-~
cause horizontal reduction in the
salary of the heads of all depart
ments, replied Holiday. .'Cut the
800 year. Cut mine down to 81
The heads of a good many depart
ments ought to stand reductions in pay
for the people under them often do
much of the work.. >
Mayor Davis said: 'sThe city simply
can't pay this and=I won't stand for
it." He still has a chance to. veto the
salary ordinance.
These raises in pay, in some in
stances, simply show that such thing
can not be done in the open council, ]"
said Councilman Holiday. "They
should be carefully gone over before
hand. Now 1 never for a moment
thought that the salary of the chief
should be increased to $500.
| know that several others who voted
for the increase did not contemplate
such an increase
Cant another ordinance making
the pay of the chief 81 200 and giving
the patrolmen some increases of SO
month, be passed 2" queried Mayor
Davis.
Councilman Holiday, although fav-
oring a greater increase for patrol
men, thought it could be done and it
is proba Bile that such an ordinance will
be considered. '4,f
