So quietly that no one knew what

/ The position OF the attorneys and 9TH

GOeschel wants II opened clear
through to Canton and Gratiot-aves.,
instead OF stopping at Mt. Elliottave.
He accused Allan, who wanted the
shorter opening. OF working In the I'm
terest OF lumber company. Allan
retorted by intimating that Goeschel
Is the spokesman of the liquor inter.
ests, and there was much peppery Ian
guage. The whole matter was post
poned.
Another vitriolic contest occurred
over the sale OF the old Belle Isle
casino for $1,000, which carried by "a
votes to 10. Many aldermen, including
most OF the Democrats. wanted the
casino moved. but Aid. Watson and
others declared II rotten and argued
that the city should get rid OF Its
WORKOUT wooden buildings.

ed for $3.50 to send representative

on the surface Of the river the Ice IS
being marked and cut with "pioughs"
drawn by horses. The cakes are spud-
ded of by hand and foated to the
electrically operated chain conveyors,
where they are automatically hoisted
from the water and hurried 10 the ice
houses. AS the cakes pass along on
the conveyors they go through the
various finishing machines. One de-
vice trims the cakes to the proper
size; another shaves the top OF each.

downtown streets, and loan OF 81,
900 for crushing stone, beside $3.50 for

SEPARATE BILL FOR.
EACH Man s PAY.
SHERIFF HAS NEW PLAN FOR
MAKING AUDITORS NAME
DEPUTIES TO BE FIRED"

Sheriff Burns has adopted a new
scheme in his fight with the county
auditors To compel the board to
name the men he must discharge he
sent In a separate account for each
mans salary for the first two weeks
cided not to pay the accounts In that
form, and sent a communication TO
the sheriff, informing him that the
salary list must be sent in on one
sheet as has been the custom for Is
years. The auditors also insist that
the sheriff designate or the pay sheet
the position occupied by every man on
the list
The sheriff won In his first battle
with the auditors by cutting or two
court deputies when the board refused
to audit his pay list containing the
full 80 names. As the court deputies
had performed their duties, the cir
cult judges who heard the case, order
ed that David Beiyea, who started the
first test case. be paid his salary.
There are now three similar cases
pending.
Contrary to all expectation the aud
itors will not carry the Belyea case
to the supreme court, but will obey
the decision Of the circuit court judges
without question. They will find an
excuse, however, to carry to the high
er court a case to settle once and for
all the question of their power over
county officials.
The sheriff Ii determined not to re-
duce his staff until he has exhausted
every means of thwarting the auditors,
and he Is equally determined that the
auditors must name the two to go, in
case he loses.
