PAYROLL OF
S. & S. EMPLOYEES

Director Gray. at the meeting Of tho
street ana Sewer Department this morn
ing brought up the question whether the
members of the board were responsible
for the weekly pay roll OF the street de-
paftmont or whether in passing upon the
pay roll the directors were merely acc
cepting Il as correct and passing an order
for o. TO the paymastor
The question prompted much discussion.
II was the opinion of Director Sparks
that the board IN passing the pay roll was
not making itself responsible for It's COR
roctncss. but was merely passing an order
for its payment
THE discussion also brought up the
need FOR an adequate system Of receipts
from the men in the employ OF the de-
partment.
Director Gray proposed an investigation
OF the system Of city pay rolls IN other
cities. but In view OF the fact that it IS
expected that the auditor now going over
the citys accounts, will make several
recommendation in regard TO the city
accounts, and that he may treat OF the
question before the board, the matter was
laid over.

of telephone poles with which VIII
mington is afflicted The managers of
the telephone companies have declined
To- co-opefate 90 the eXtcnt of using one
another's poles The board is cndeavor-
ing so have the telephone companies
having wires On the same streets tn
use each others poles so as 90 eliui-
nate the need for $40 many poles
throughaut the city.
The street commissioner reported
this morning that he had become en-
couragod over the outlook for am
understanding between the managers
of the telephone companies but thrt
at the last minute Manager Hall of the
ID. and A.. had cancelled the permission
he had given to the other companies
To- use the ID. and a. poles.
This action. OF course. has halted
what seemed to be the success of the
boards efforts to reduce the numb ~
of poles here The refusal of ih
companies To cooperate In the use

ously by the directors this morn
and II was the apinion OF Difeet
Sparks that such course would soan

The Supreme Court last Saturday
rendered its unanimous decision on the
Saline River bridge question, affirming
the decision of Judge Reeder, that the
complainants hadwaited too long before
bringing their, the bridge being built
the contractors were entitled to their
pay. 1t reads:
1. Taxpayers who bring an action un-
der Chapter 334 of the Laws of 1905
to enjoin a Board of County Commits
sioners from carrying out a contract
for the building of a bridge and
appropriating money to pay for the
same do not act in behalf of the public
or in any representative capacity, but
only for the protection of their own
interests.
2. The rule that equity will not aid
those who have been guilty of inequit-
able conduct in the matter presented
as Q basis for equitable relief applies to
such taxpayers the same as to ordinary
suitors.
3. It would be inequitable to allow
such taxpayers, who had knowledge
of the letting of the contract, and
who stood silently by for months until
the greater part of the work was done
and the contractor had incurred great
expense, to enjoin the Board of County
Commissioners from paying for the
bridge, when completed, because of
irregularities in the letting of the
contract and a defective exercise of
authority, conferred by law upon such
board.
All the Justices concurring.

Eggs are holding up the price pretty
well and would be higher if the farm
ers would be more careful in sorting
their eggs. When the dealer ships his
eggs to the city he knows that each
egg will be tcandled" and all bad ones
thrown out. This loss together with
those he culls out before shipping cuts
down his margin of profit many times
so low that it would take a powerful
glass to discover it. We believe if
only fresh eggs were marketed that
the price of hen fruit would materially
rise.
