CRY FATHERS LET CONTRACT
ron INSTALLATION.
PAVING IS DISCUSSED
Warner 4 Lawrence Again Refused
License to Continue Conducting
Turf Saloon - Appointment Of
plumb Inspector ls Confirmed.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Besides consideration Of the ques-
tions OF raising the liquor licenses
and limiting the saloons, the city
council last night finally disposed Of
the question OF awarding the contract
for installing hot water heat radia-
ton In the city hall and connecting
with the Billings Mutual Heating
company's mains by accepting the
bid Of Richard Sherwood, who offered
to install new hot water heat radia-
ton for $1,650.
r. A. Williams bid for installing
new radiation for the additional ra-
diation needed and changing the old
steam heat radiation to hot water ra-
diation was $1,276. The members of
the council were apparently dubious,
however, al to the success Of such a
change despite the fact that Mr.. Will
liams offered to put up a bond of any
reasonable sum, which the council
might name, to insure the successful.
operation of the radiation he would
install according to the terms Of his.
bid.
The question of installing the new
heat in the city hall has had a longer
lease on life than probably any other
question before the council during
the past year and has come up every
meeting since Mr.. Williams was Civ
en 800 to release the city from its
contract with him, which called for
the changing of the present steam
heat radiation to hot water.
Casts Deciding Vote.
IN casting the decising vote, when
the council stood four to four on the
question, the mayor denied the petit
tion Of Warner & Lawrence asking
for a retail liquor dealers license
permitting them to continue conduct
ing the Turf saloon on Minnesota
venue which they recently pur-
chased. He stated however that If he
found on investigation that the men
were deserving OF a license and that
the opposition Of the two members OF
the license committee was without
warrant, he would vote to grant the
petition.
The petitions and bonds Of Frank
kim to conduct the Commercial bar
and Pawlus & Bowman to conduct the
Last Chance saloon were reported IA,
vorably by the license and bond com
mittee and their report was adopted
Paving was discussed again In a
way that gave no promise Of results
and the city engineer was instructed
to prepare an estimate on the cost OF
draining the streets by use OF cement
cutters and catch basins. Several
petitions for electric lights and sew.
ers were referred to the proper com.
mittees, as we're the reports of the
various city oflcers.
The appointment of Charles Mitch
ell AZ city plumbing inspector was
confirmed. after q report from the
examining board stating that he had
successfully passed the test was re
ceived.

while / was in Louisiana visiting my
daughter reports came to me through
letters written from this neighbor-
hood that Mr.. Mason, who l had left
in charge of my home and business,
had fraudulently misapplied my mon
les by taking them out of one bank
and placing them in another to his
own credit; had sold some of my per-
sonaI property and deposited the
money to his own credit and was do
ing other things against my interest.
Being influenced by these reports, ]
mailed to Mr.. E. o. Harper power of
attorney to represent me in settling
up the affairs of the estate. On my
return home, | found all these re-
ports to be malicfously false They
had been made to me to break the
implicit confidence had in Mr. Ma
son and assassinate his character in

scrupulously honest in managing my
business and very energetic in pro-
