TOOK MORE LETTERS

Meu s Taken From Lock Boxes of nent central City -1rms anA Police Have No Clue.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Oct, 23.
 It was learned today that for the second time the lock boxes Of the post once wete robbed yesterday after- noon.'
 The robbery is believed to have talk en place about 1 o'clock nd as yet the post office authorities have no cue as to who the thief is. One post ofhce inspector Is known to be in the city working upon the case and 1t Is very probable that there will be sev- eral more here within tLe next few days.
 Late yesterday afternoon a number or letters addressed to business firms were found in various parts of the city. The firms to which these letters !ice about l o'clock for their mail and their boxes were empty md for that reason 1t is known that the robbery took place just before o'clock. The letters taken from the boxes were those which came in the mail on tie Akron train which reached here about 12 o'clock.
 The post office has positive evidence that the robbery was committed from the outside and that the thief did not come behind the partition which sep arates the off1ce from the public. The thief evidently has duplicate keys tn a number of the boxes and during the busy part of the day went to the office and took the mall out of the boxes to which he had a key:
 One of the largest sufferers from the theft is the firm of Meyers & Yaretzky, wholesale liquor dealers The thief yesterday took their en- tire mail from the train On the South ern from Akron. Earlier in the day after the mail which arrived on ths train from Myrtlewood had been prt up they also made 8 haul.rn these let ters 1t Is believed that :kere were many of them had small rcmittances in paper money for goods which tbs customers had ordered.
 This firm estimate that they are short about 100 letters which hayo been taken from their box during the past few days. There was found on the streets yesterday afternoon a let ter addressed to them in which there was a check for $50. As the thief probably knew that he could not have 1t cashed he tore 1t in many pieces and then placed 1t back in the en- velope and threw 1t away. The check was torn SO badly that it could not be used and had to be returned to the party who had issued It.

$50 Notice From Mayor.
Oct. 18th, 1906,
Hon. L. Hilton Green,
Chairman Board of Bond Trustees,
City.
Dear Sir.
/ respectfully call your attention o
the fact that the contractor for the
new city hall Is now putting in the
foundation for the said building and
that the city has no inspector upon
the job to see that it is properly done,
or that the specifications OF the con-
tract are being lived up to. called
by there this morning and found that
they were using damaged cement for
the foundation of the building, some
thing that would not be permitted
on any government job and something
that certainly had not ought to be
permitted on city job, and fel
quite sure would not permitted on
private job unless 1t was carefully In.
spected. Not only Is damaged cement
being used in the construction of the
said building but the proportions are
being guessed at, as l am certain
from observations and there Is no
telling how near or how far from the
specifications the said concrete is
being made. l certainly think as a
matter of business those who have
charge of the construction OF this
building should be represented on the
grounds at all times by competen-
person who will see that the city is
getting what she is paying for, or
is expected to pay for.
call your attention to this matter
because the Board Of Bond Trustees
have sole charge Of this matter up
to the present time.
Yours respectfully,
CFfAS. H. BLISS.
Mayor.
