FLYNN APPEALS TO CHIEF
Commissioner Asks Police to Enforce
Ordinance Against Littering
the Thorough fares.

Tired of working his street sweeping
crew all night sweeping and flushing the
streets, only to have them Uttered the
following morning with sweepings from
the sidewalks, Street Commissioner Flynn
has called the police departments attention
to the ordinance prohibiting the sweeping
OF any straw, filth or rubbish of any de-
scriptlon into the cutters or streets. Chief
Donahue in turn has notified his police
captains and instructed them to order the
patrolmen to arrest anyone in the future
who violates the ordinance,
My department worked all of Friday
night flushing Farnam, Douglas and the
cross streets in the business section, the
scattered ashes from the fire engine ex-
hibited by the city har Friday afternoon
necessitating the work" said Street Com
missioner Flynn. I'VE got everything
clean. but when the big stores. and some
of the little ones. opened for business in
the morning and dumped their sweeplngs
into the street. no one would imagine that
the streets had ever been swept I get
kicks and cusses enough. not to be blamed
when we do our work as we'll as it is pos
sible"
Chief Donahue says the large department
stores are more at fault than the smaller
retail establishments, but that his instruc-
tiOns to the police are to show no favorit-
ism. but to arrest any and all 'violators.
Another provision Of the saAe ordinance
prohibits the sweeping OF sidewalks be-
tween the hours of s o'clock in the morn
ing and 10 o'clock at night, a fine OF SO
being imposed for violation. fine OF 500
is the penalty for sweeping rubbish into

BOND DEAL REVERTS AGAIN
Referred Back to English for Better
Method of Payment.
BOARD OBJECTS TO SINKING FUND
All Members Prefer Paying on the In
debtedness as Rapidly as POssi-
BILE Instead of Accumu-
Iatins Fund.

The county board did not votg on the
submission Of bonds for a new court house
at the meeting Saturday and instead re-
ferred the submission resolution back to
the county attorney for changes and will
take it up again at a general meeting Mon
day afternoon.
The hitch came i'm the method OF paying
off the bonds. The resolution submitted
by County Attorney English provided for a
sinking fund. But the members of the
board without exception were opposed to
this method. Instead they favor paying off
the indebtedness as fast as money can be
raised to do 1t for the reason not more
than per cent can be realized on the
money in the sinking fund while the bonds
will bear per cent interest They decided
it would be economical to pay off the bonds
as rapidly as the money accumulates in
stead of holding It in fund.
The board was practically agreed that one
twentieth of the bond should be paid in ten
years from the date of issue and a similar
amount each year thereafter. This plan
will retire half Of the bonds IN twenty years
from the date of issue and will leave the
other half to be taken care of during the
interval between Tweny ana thirty years
from their date. AS the court house is ex-
peeted 10 accommodate the business of the
county for from forty 20 fifty years the
members of the board believe IL is no more
than right that half of the bonds At least
should be paid after twenty years.
other Bonds That Fail Due.
The county has $50. coo worth OF bonds
falling due in 1911 and 1912 and the majority
Of xle commissioners are OF the opinion no
more should be paid untii the ten-year per-
iod is up.
IRE proposed the first payments on the
court house bonds be made in five years
but the majority favored the ten-yeaT plan.
with the changesNin the resolution all the
members OF the board expressed themselves
as favoring the submission OF the question
In May
Because the county treasurer refused to
transfer $4,000 from the general into the
