NOTICES SERVED ON SALOONS.

Twenty five in Davenport.

Twenty five in Davenport.
Special to es-Republ1can
Davenport, Aug. 5.-Original notices,
In which they are threatened with in
functions, were Saturday filed against
twenty seven saloons, twenty-five To-
Gated in this city, and two in Walcott.
by T. H. .Kemmerer as plaintiff and G.
w Neal as attorney.
The cases are similar to those insti-
tuted over a year ago by W. w. Lunger
in which about the same number of saI
looms were involved and which were all
settled and dismissed without the clos
ing of a single one.
The notices served on the saloon
keepers Saturday warn them that on
Aug. Is suit will be filed against then,
asking for both temporary and per-
manent injunction and that the appli-
cation for a temporary injunction will
be heard in court on the morning OF
Aug. 10.
Attorney Neal on Saturday admitted
that the present crusade is not for the
purpose Of putting the local saloons
under the mulct law but claimed it
was to force them to eliminate the OBJ
jectionable features. such as wine
rooms, the allowing of women and
children in them and other existing
conditions. Mr.. Neal claims that
this has given Davenport the name
Of wide open town and brought, the
saloon business Of Davenport into dis
grace.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Aug. 5.-Fort Dodge
comes in for some criticism in the re-
port of the municipal account inspect
ors OF the state auditors office, made
public today. The aldermen in Fort
Dodge, eight in number, have been
drawing more pay than therlaw allows.
They have drawn the $50 maximum for
attending city council meetings, and in
addition have drawn committee work
fees from the various funds, a thing
for which there is neither law nor or
dinance.
Z For instance, aldermen serving on
committee and doing amy work on that
committee have been drawing pay for
service on the committee whenever
they have done any work. The
amounts drawn are: General fund,
$780, water fund. $175: fire. S67.4O;
paving. $3.50; sewer, 5000, making to-
tai Of $1,2S2.40- The only defense the
aldermen can give for the act is that 1t
has been the custom in Fort Dodge
for number of years.
Furthermore, Fort Dodge is exceed
ing its legal limit of Indebtedness. Its
legal limit of indebtedness is s116000
according to law, and it has a bonded
Indebtedness of $104,000. But besides
this it has an Indebtedness of out
standing warrants of about $ol,0oO
with only $4,000 in cash with which
to pay them. The city therefore ex-
ceeds its legal limit Of Indebtedness by
$4,000, according to the municipal ac-
count experts.
The department has recommended to
the city that it increase its tax levy
and pay off these warrants. The tax
levy is only % mills. and in many cities
the tax levy is up to 80 mills.
Custodian McCurdy completed the
work Of relaying the cement sidewalks

The stone steps on all sides of the

exception of those in granite. On the
