| most important which has happened in
the city for some time. There was
very little for the police to proceed
upon, their suspicious being at ffst
directed toward number of boys as
it had seemed impossible for a man
that the robber had entered Tt was
in following up this suspicion that
Taylor unearthed the number Of petty
robberies committed by several gangs
of boys about the city, for which there
have been several arrests and convic-
tions. 1t also happened that this in
vestigation led the police into securing
information which resulted in the ar
rest of All Poi last night.

The new board reduced the Insurance

fact that a member of one of the city
boards was the agent for the insur-

Tn1S city is running its own street
cleaning department and the manner
in which it is doing 1T has proved an
eyeopener to taxpayers. .[hen the
authorities concluded that the city
could clean the streets more cheaply
itself than by letting the work out by
contract, equipment was purchased, but
when it came to buying the live stock
the money on hand had been exhaust
ed. There were demands for the reve-
nues as fast as the taxes were paid in
and bonds could not be issued, as the
limit of Indebtedness had been reached.
Then a deal with local stock dealers
was engineered that affords a pleasinS
illustration of municipal financiering.
Twenty-eight mules were hired for
the season from April to November at
a cost of 1895 the city to feed the
mules, keep them shod and to be re-
sponsible for deaths and disabling ac-
cidents. In order to determine the
value of the animals they were APP
praised and three dealers found them
to be worth 1912 each, or about $500
in excess of the rental which the city
pays for seven months. The wags are
poktng fun at the city administration
for this example of municipal f1nan-
ciering, but the taxpayer Is looking at
it from a more serious standpoint

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Many Indiana Cities Have Found the
Experiment. Costly One.

Twelve Indiana cities, reckoned
among the most progressive in the
state, have been wrestling with
municipal ownership for periods rang
ing from five to ten years, and the
cumulative result as finally summar-
lied shows that they may be divided
into three classes in respect to causes
that have operated to make the ex-
periments obnoxious to many of the
taxpayers.
The first of these causes is, posi-
bly,, incidental to the form of munich
pal government under which the
cities operate, for the plants have been
made the prey of the political spoils-
man in both parties, and incom-
potency of management has brought
about waste and a generally increased
burden of taxation.
The second and most humiliating
cause, which, however, has been the
exception. and not the rule, in the
government of the cities, is grating
IN small things, taking rakeoffs for
favors. permitting bills of men who
have pulls to run Indefinitely, placing
insurance on parts of the plant that
could not possibly burn, selling or
giving away by-products of the plants
and not accounting to the cities, and
keeping the books in such a bungling
ana unbusinesslike way, either pur-
posely or through ignorance, as to
make it impossible to trace errors to
The third and most discouraging
factor is incompetency and a seeming
inability to adopt the methods in the
management OF municipal utilities
that the prudent man would require
in his own business. Frequent changes
of employees account for this to linn
tied extent, but the main reason seems
to lie in the fact that the majority of
persons employed in such industries
secure employmen MT through some
man of Influence with the powers
that be, and looks to that source,
rather than to a record of efficiency,
for permanency on his job.
As rule. the people have been
quick to reform abuses where they
have been found to exist, but in the
main the reformers have fallen into
some other error of management
when intrusted with power and 1t
has come to be regarded as an accom-
panying necessary evil of municipal
ownership that some persons must
profit personally at the expense of the
city. Three cities have recently per-
manently abandoned the effort to run
their plants, two others have leased
their municipal utilities for term of
years because unable to raise money |
for repairs, and throughout the state |

SHERIFF JEssUP APPEALS.
Ffnney County Official After Santa F'e
for Running Away With Cars.

The nine palace stock cars which
were attached by A. r. Jessup, once a
sheriff of Finney county, form the ba-
sis of the lawsuit appealed today from
the district court or Finney county.
The title of the case is A. r. Jessup
against the Santa Fe railway.
The record shows that the firm OF
King Bros. recovered a judgment for
$2SOO against the Denver & Rio
Grande railway. King Bros. laid in
wait for the Denver and Rio Grande
and when that company had nine cars
at Sherlock, Finney county. they got
out a writ of attachment and had the
sheriff nab the cars. This happened
on Nov. 8, 1908. -Four days later the
Santa Fe company, claiming that it
was under contract to return the cars
to the Denver & Rio Grande, hitched
an engine to the cars and hauled them
out of the state The sheriff then
brought suit against the Santa Fe,
claiming that he was liable to King
Bros. for the $2.800, because the cars
had been taken from him, and holding
the Santa Fe railway liable to him.
The case was heard by William E.
Hutchinson on an agreed statement OF
facts, and he rendered Judgment for
the defendant company. Sheriff Jes-
sup appeals the case.
