SUMMER RESIDENTS.
WANT BETTER ROADS.
eusTINs ISLAND Is EXERCISED
OVER CONDITION OF
STREETS THERE.
A Mass Meeting May Be Called and
Drastic Measures Adopted.

Bustins Island, July 10, 19O6-The
summer residents here are very
much exercised over the condition
OF their streets. 1t is said that the
roads are In a deplorable state and
the town has not done, and will not
do anything for their improvement,
although they have been repeatedly
requested to do SO. The state Of
mind OF the people may be imagined
when the statement is made that Q
lady cannot walk on the streets for
days after a shower, without getting
her shoes covered with mud and dur
Ing rain. they have gone down In
the mud which fills the streets, over
their rubbers. Once this season, the
town started to do a little on one
street, but residents say that the men
left the spot they worked on. In a
much worse condition than before It
was touched. The facts of the case
are set forth by the complainants as
follows: Bustins island pays the
town OF Freeport probably between
Tour and five hundred dollars each
year In taxes. In the last ten years,
the town has, according to the remon-
strants, expended only eighty-five
dollors on the streets, and this is abb
solutely all the benefit the island has
received for fifteen or more years. In
one occupied street, the trees and
stumps are still standing for rods,
making 1t impossible. 1t has reached
the point now, where the summer
residents feel that they have a griev-
ance and do not propose to remain
idie In the matter. A quiet canvass Is
being made among the cottage own
ers, and 1t is said that so far every
one has been found more than willing
to share in the expense of bringing
the islands demands before the town
omcers in so positive a manner that
they will be forced to act. While II
mas not been fully settled what course
VIII be followed, the majority are
said to favor having the town in.
dicted, while some feel that 1t would
be better to make a test case and
refuse to pay taxes on grounds of
equity. affirming that they have re-
ceived practically no benefit or re.
turn for amounts already paid. It is
proposed to call a meeting of cottage
owners. settle upon the method. en-
gage counsel, and do everything
necessary to give this island what it
most needs, what it is entitled to. and
what so far, 1t has not had, good
roads.

Superintendent Walsh and with Bale

and both of them agreed to recon-
mend the relocation of an agent at

The Muscotah trouble was between
a man named VIM. Dunkel and the
railroad company Dunkel owns a dis

railway company refused to build him

Dunkel was simply trying to hold up
a couple of other elevator men at
Muscotah, and compel them to buy his
old flour mill. The matter was talked
over by DunkeI. superintendent Walsh
and Commissioner Walker. and It was
agreed that Dunkel should put up
bond to show that he was in good faith

in the form of an elevator. When this
is done the railroad company viii

ONE AN OLD TIMER.

AS a result Of the reports of detectives
who have been working in Topeka for
some time past a general shaking up is
occurring among the men employed in
the operating department of the Street
Railway company. A number of men
have been released recently and no cause
assigned by the company for the ac-
ton. Five men received word when they
reported for work Thursday morning
that their services were at an end and
consternation has prevailed among the
operating force since.
A number of the men who were not
released were called ION the carpet and
given severe lectures and admonitions
as to their future conduct. Several Of
the Oldest men on the system were eau
toned that they are becoming too we'll
acquainted and too familiar with their
patrons and that such conduct must
cease at once under penalty of dismissal
from the service of the company.
OF all the men who have recently been
released from the employ of the COM
pany none Of them have been able to dis
cover a. reason for the action of the
company. No warning of any kind has
been given them other than brief note
saying that their services are at an end.
Among the men released in this UNI
acrimonious manner was George Baker
who lives in a pretty little home at 1909
Van 3uren street. When seen this
morning he said: I am at a loss to I'M
derstand why have received this treat
uent at the hands of the company for
whom I have worked faithfully for SO
long. I reported for work at the usual
time Thursday morning and was told
that there was a letter in the office for
me. Tt contained just a single line and
said that my services would be no long
er required.
IT had no idea of such thing, but
when I asked for an explanation none
was forthcoming and though I have
worked for the company for eleven
years through the heat of summers and
the cold Of winters and my services
have always been honest and 7 think
efficient I was turned loose without a
moments warning and no explanation.
There have been a number of other
men discharged in the same manner
and. as far as I know not one of them
were notified that they We're to be re-
leased or told the reason for their dis
missal. Several of the boys have been
up before the management for censure
but never have been since 7 began to
work for the company and during my
service I have never had an accident .

feeling of unrest exists among many of
the other men now working. I'VE have

conductors who is still at work. that
the company has had secret service men
and in several instances women work

we are regarded as objects of suspicion
does not make matters any easier for
US.
There has been some talk among the
men Of organizing for our mutual pro-

that it could not probably continue

back with an agreement by which the
company had bound itself to maintain
two stations in Clifton township in
consideration of $4,000 in bonds
