COMPROMISE REACHED ON
SIDEWALK BOND MATTER
Contractors viii Be Permitted To Do
Preliminary Work and Furnish
Sureties Later.

A compromise was reached Monday
morning between Commissioner Haar-
er, of the department OF public works.
and the council committee on streets
by which permits will be given To. the
smaller sidewalk contractors to tear
up dangerous wooden walks and put
I'm cinders preparatory 10 laying the
cement top. This last they will not be
allowed TO do until they have filed per-
sonal bonds according to form 10 be
drawn up by the corporation counsel
and have satisfied the commissioner
as To the responsibility or the sureties.
This arrangement was fixed up after
long session OF talk. and proved sat
isfactory to all parties. IL cleared the
way for further amendment OF the or
dinance, Aid. Shapland having put In
an amendment which requires sureties
OH sidewalks bonds 10 describe the
property they posses.
Aid. Ellis began things by calling
attention TO the fact that the sidewalk
bonds are not to protect the city but
the property-owners
Let the people look out for their
own interests" said Aid. Glinoan, and
WoS applause AiOh
the chorus OF sidewalk contractors.
The talk brought out the fact that.
while Commissioner Haarer has ap-
proved a number OF surety company
bonds for contractors. he has not ac-
cepted any personal surety bonds.
Many contractors who wish 10 give
the personal bonds have taken con-
tracts 10 lay walks and these walks
were in danger OF being ripped up
and relaid by the city contractors ow-
ins 10 the other contractors not hav-
ing been able To qualify
"Wc should make the comm ssioner
obey the ordnance" said Chairman
Goeschel He has no valid reason TO
object. There is someti>&ag back or
ali this
Haarer reminded the committee,
when called IN. that there have been
nine changes In the sidewalk ord.n-
ance this year. and said that he had
gone slowly while the council was
getting the law In shape TO suit itself.
He vas ready however, TO let the dan
gerous walks be torn up and would
give the contractors permits TO finish
them az soon as they had fled the
proper kind of personal bonds aud he
had time TO look up the sureties. He
wanted the council TO approve OF the
bonds. but all the aldermen demucrsd
10 this.

complaint The boy admitted throw
ing the ball, but declared that the az
fair was a regrettable accident, and
that he was sorry for it. He said he
had tried TO make amends TO the
girls parents by paying the doctor
bills, but that the settlement was re.
fused. Judge Connolly advised the
parents to effect q settlement. and adj
journed the case for two weeks.
The court also took occasion TO ex.
press the opinion that the city Of De

to provide play grounds. in which
boys could safely indulge their love
for the great national pastime, instead
of being forced to play IN the streets.

1.-THE MERRY WIDOW"

The event of the season is at hand
with the world-famed "Merry Widow"
booked for the Spokane theatre, Spo
kane, for seven performances, begin
ming Sunday night, May %, with spe-
cial matinee on Wednesday. 1t is per
haps unfortunate, in view of the ire
mendous advance sale piled up, that the
engagement is for one week only, but
that being the case, it remains for
playgoers to do the best they can under
the circumstances. Mr. Savage, to
whom the United States is indebted for
this operatic sensation of the world.
sends a company of 100 people. This
large number includes the MADAM
Butterfly orchestra, the quality of
which is recalled as a delightful mem
DRY; a Hungarian orchestra, which is
carried to appear in one act only; the
large "Merry Widow chorus. and
list of principals whose names guaran-
tee a splendid impersonation, from all
points, of the roles intrusted to their
care.
The role of 'The Merry Widow
will be sung by Miss Rosemary Glosz.
a Hungarian by birth, who graduated
from the Conservatives of Vienna. and
is said to be the embodiment of the
spirit of "The Merry Widow" of the
composer s mind. The equally impor-
tant role of the Prince is in care of
Mr.. Charles Meakins, who has ap-
peared in the role over 300 times. a
young, romantic tenor, who was the
vogue IN the long metropolitan run Of
the opera. Mr.. Mealxins and Miss
Glosz are the principals in the cele-
brated ." Merry Widow waltz. An
other newcomer Of the week will be
seen in the person Of Paul Bleyden. a
tenor from Mr.. Savage's grand opera
forces, to whom is assigned one Of the
principal roles. The Merry Widow
chorus is a body of sufficient prestige
to warrant a word in advance on its
behalf The young ladies are called
upon to wear the Partisan gowns which
represent the latest doings Of the mod
istes Of Paris and perhaps more i'm
portant than all, and In ample proper

The Merry Widow is an operetta
with a good, clean, consecutive story

not wild exaggeration; fun and frolic
that never descends to bunoonry, and
dancing that is absolutely inspiring.

a mISNAMED EXHIBIT.

door.

harassed man, people discover that
that china statuette out in the Frank

Then they burst in here and announce
their discovery and wonder tha- no

time is spent in explaining that we
know it well, that it was simply a mis-
take of the potter who LABELED l. in
France over a century ago, and that we
cannot change it nor wouldn't il we
could.

Alison assented rather coldly, but her

on having her for a partner; and after

kindly remarks on the rest Of the com
