A new city office will probably be
created-that of janitor of the Audi
torium. The office is to hold for six
months and pay $50 a month. The
resolution instructing the mayor to
appoint such an officer was intro
duced by Councilman Jordan. At
present the dog officer is in charge
but he is kept so busy attending to
other duties that he cannot keep
proper care over the Auditorium.
An ordinance calling upon the tele-
graph, telephone, and electric light
companies to put all their wires in the
streets and alleys under ground with
in the district bounded by Tenth ave-
nue., Jackson street, Quincy street and

Councilman Jordan with instructions
to the city attorney to draw up an
ordinance covering the above. It was

but we nave got to put up with some

Councilman Hughes moved that the
enacting clause of the ordinance be
struck out
Councilman Montgomery followed
and championed the cause of the cur
dog. Councilman Holiday buttressed
his position with a speech in which he
said: II am glad to see tonight such a
hearty representation of the dog lovers
of the city here. 1 don't think that
anyone has more love for a dog than I
have But shall the streets, alleys and
parks of the city become the common
play ground of the dogs. Dogs in To-
peka are becoming to be an intolerable
to be too drastic and we gladly invite
any suggestion by which we might
amend it and still make it a forceful
ordinance We have been unable to
secure any suggestions and on that &C
count have let the ordinance stand"
Councilman Howard proposed that
the dogs be chained up from o'clock
at night to Z o'clock in the morning
employ additional dog catchers to en-
force the present ordinance. Later he
moved that the ordinance be laid over
for 60 days. This was amended to 80
days. The amended motion was then
put and carried.
From the facts pointed out by the
report of the city clerk on the disburse-
ments and receipts for the month of
March the Office of the street commits
sioner was used partially to pay politi-
cal obligations. The street department
shows a marked increase of expendi-
lures amounting to 1884 over the same
month Of the preceding year with a
larger number of men on the pay roll.
There is nothing to show why there
should be such an increase in the
working force except that the former
street commissioner, must have promiS-
ed Jobs to workers in return for po-
Iitical activity at the last Republican
primary.
For the year ending March 81. 1907.
the disbursements exceeded the re-
ceipts by SO. 750.95. the year previous
the amount was 81. 634.70. The total re-
ceipts for the year ending March 81,
1907, were $165. 1928 and disbursements
were $176, 724.1S.
