Dirty Deal
They Say

There is some dissatisfaction be-
ehn some members of the city
1nciI over the matter of tickets
the Barnum & Bailey circus.
Ehe councilmen claim the mayor
ave them dirty deal In the mat
ter
Tt has ever been the custom for
rcuses to give the city officials
bont an the tickets they needed
and have ever been very generous
IN this respect. But the council
men and some other officials of
the city did not get any compli-
nentaries this time.
Superintendent Doyle asked the
mayor about the matter and says,
50 member of the council says.
that the mayor told him there
would be no tickets for any of
them, as there was to be no parade
and on that account the showmen
refused to or would not give tick
cts, except six to the mayor and
marty. IN the form of box tickets.
BE states that the mayor also told
him the showmen restricted him
10, whom he should have in his
party.
One councilman went to the
show grounds and laid the matter
before the management, who in
formed him that it was the policy
to give all the officials all the tick
cts they wanted and would have
dome SO. if the mayor had laid
the matter before the agent, when
he handed him an order for the
box tickets, and that the show did
not even think of refusing them
tickets and never took the fact
HAT there was no parade into con-
liberation. He denied that the
6kets were withheld on account
s. their being no parade and re
retted that the officials had not
been given complimentaries.
Under these circumstances mem
brs of council and other officials
think rather unkindly just now OF
the mayor.
