One more step forward in the Gtiga-
ton to test the validity of the fran
chise granted the street railway com
pany to go into the lighting business
was, taken Saturday when the railway
company filed its answer in the suit
brought by the gas company. The
preliminaries are now over with and
from now on the progress Of the suit
should be as rapid through the courts
up to a final decision in the Supreme
Court as such cases ever are. The is
sues Of this case are of far reaching
Importance involving as they do the
validity Of the public utilities law under
which so many rules and regulations
for the public utility corporations of
the entire state are constantly being
laid down by the Railroad Commission
and every corporation in the state
would appreciate an effort by the prin-
c;pals in this suit to get a decision
from the highest court as soon as pos
sible. Every days delay In this case
will add to the confusion that will fol
low should the law be knocked out by
the courts.

COURT AlJOURNs HEARING
Hard Fight Will be Made to Prevent
Digging of Canal and it May be
Months Before Commissioners Are
Named to Do the Work.

The "Hoosier Creek" planned as
drainage canal for the reclamation of
hundreds of acres of land in the towns
of Brighton in this county and Dover
in Racine county is not to be built
without a struggle as when the matter
Of naming commissioners to have
charge of the investigation of the con-
ditions in the two towns was called
by Judge Belden in the Circuit Court
at Racine on Friday afternoon many
of the owners of the property in the
two counties which is to be affected
by the drainage canal came into court
to protest against it and so strong was
the protest that the judge delayed the
hearing on the matter until Sept. 20.
1t was not expected that there would
be any united opposition to the canal
but it is evident that the farmers who
are opposed to the ditch have organic
ed and they will retain attorneys to
make fight to prevent its being built.
In keeping with the legal advertise
ment of the project the commissioners
were to have been named by Judge
Belden on Friday. The court in
structed the protesting farmers that
their formal protest against the pro-
posed drainage ditch must be fled by
the time set for the adjourned hear
ing and the farmers have now retained
attorneys to prepare the protest and
see that it gets in the hands of the
court before that time
The proposed drainage ditch is one
of the most important ever planned
for southern Wisconsin and with it's
laterals it will pass through thousands
Of acres Of the land in the two coun-
ties which is now regarded as practi-
cally worthless as farming land Eff
forts are to be made to have the OPP
position to the project withdrawn, but
it is said that some of the farmers
are determined in their opposition and
will contest any assessment for the
cost of the canal in the courts even
if the court should go ahead and order
the drainage ditch constructed. The
cost of the ditch will be about equally
divided between Racine and Kenosha
county farms.

Alaskan Central BY, Another
Venture of A. c. Frost, To
Be Sold Under Hammer
VENTURE CAUSED BANK FAILURE

The Alaska Central Railway, an
other venture of A. G. Frost, promoter
of the Chicago & Milwaukee Electric
Railway Company is to be sold under
the hammer at valdez, Alaska, on
October 9.
It is claimed that the Alaska Cen
trail railway, bonds for it's construction
were foated by its president, A. G.
Frost of Chicago, was to some extent
responsible for the failure of the So
vereign Bank Of Canada When the
railway was started it was pretenti-
Gus affair. 1t was the intention to
have it extend from Seward to the
Tanana river, about 400 miles. About
sixty miles was completed when the
crash came and the Sovereign Bank of
Canada, holding large amount of
bonds of the company, was compelled
to close it's doors. Mr.. Frost was
building the Central Alaska railway
dUOuG UHG Sdul0 Time he WAS
the Chicago -Milwaukee line and his
failure here as we'll as the failure of
A. G. Frost & Co., Chicago, bankers
and brokers', caused the Alaska Central
railway to suspend building operations.
It is claimed in financial circles that
the receivers will not control the des-
TIMES of the Chicago Milwaukee road
for much longer time. The bond
holders made poor investments as the
earnings of the company are not suf-
fcient to pay any of the bonds and
interest on bonds is not being paid.
There is considerable talk of re
organization, but just what the plans
are cannot be ascertained. It. is claim
ed that if the road can be sold at a
fair figure, but not near the amount
of the bond issue, the purchasers can
make the line one of the best paying.
investments in the country.

Although the mayors sewer inspec-
tor got his money finally it was only
after such lively row that the action
taken in this case can hardly be said
to establish precedent and although
the majority of the Council submitted
rather tamely to the bidding of the
mayor in this instance it does not fol-
low that the mayor has been given a
free hand to override the authority
of that body in the future and to put
what names he chooses on the pay
rolls of the city. The members Of
the Council whether they happen to
belong to the majority in power or to
the minority can quite safely be trust
ed to look after all their prerogatives
very carefully, especially when it
comes to giving out jobs and they are
not likely to permanently surrender
fanny of their privileges to the mayor
or to any other official without good
and sufficient reasons. When it comes
to q consideration of the duties to be
performed in connection with an APP
pointment of this kind the mayor s
man was probably as competent as any
that would have been chosen by the
Council. These appointments are gen
orally political and the question of
competency or special fitness or. abili-
ty to protect the interests of the city
is about the last thing considered in
connection with the appointment of an
inspector on any city job. The row
in the Council over the payment of
this inspector viii serve one useful
purpose however, and that is that it
will call attention to the necessity of
change in the system of making this
class of appointments. All of the
men who are supposed to guard the in
terests of the city while work is be-
ing done under contracts should be en-
| ployees of the city engineers office
and under his authority and the engi-
neer should be held responsible for the
faithful performance of their duties.
| Inspection work of all kinds REQUIRES
special knowledge and candidates for
these positions as inspectors should be
fable to pass an examination that will
satisfy the city engineer that they pos
sess enough technical knowledge of the
work they are required to watch to be
able to make sure that the city gets
/ Just what its contract calls for and
furthermore that they have no eonnee-
tions with contractors that might in
fuence their judgment in any way.
/ Theoretically the city engineer is re
quired to pass on city work and any
of the Council committees may call on
him for an expert opinion on any work
that has been. done for the city. but
he could hardly be held responsible
for results unless he is permitted to
Achoose his subordinates.

The plans for the erection of a new
city hall are working out in Just about
the same way that the plans for every
public improvement ever undertaken by
the city have worked out in the past
More money is "neededN as usual
The School Board decides to build a
new school house or the Council de
cides on some other improvement and
each body fixes a limit of cost and in
all the history of the city does any
one ever recall an instance wnen the
city get it's work done within the. limit
fixed? This city hall matter wall in
all probability work out just the same
way The city needs new city hall
Nobody disputes that. The city has
no money. Nobody disputes that fact
either. However, in view of the fact
that the building is urgently needed
many of the aldermen felt justified in
going ahead in spite of the condition
Of the city treasury, but in view of
the fact that there is no money avail
able for the building shey fixed the
outside cost Of the new hall at $685.
Admittedly this will not get as fine a
building as would be erected if the
city were flush, but when the question
Of building at once first came up it
was beloved that this was as large an
expenditure as the tax payers could
be expected to approve of taking into
consideration the unusual demands
that must be made upon them in the
next tax levy. Now in case it is de-
cided to go ahead with the building it
will be interesting to keep track of
how near its cost comes to the esti-
mates.

There is just this much to say in
regard to the controversy that is de-
veloping between the city and the
street railway company over the pay
ment for the paving between the tracks
of the company on Market Square. If
the city officials or some of them be-
Iieve that the city is entitled to any
money from the company they should
make every effort to see that it is
paid and if there is room for an honest
difference of opinion as to the meaning
of that clause of the company IS
franchise which is supposed to fix
the liability of the company the mat
ter should be passed on by the courts
in friendly suit. The question should
be settled one way or another now
that it has come up so that it will not
be continually bobbing up in the
future to make trouble between the
managers of the company and the city
officials.

one quarter foot sewer as being suf-
fcient to care for all the future needs
OF the district to be drained by 1T.
This is twenty-five inches more in
diameter than the culyert through
which the waters of Jerome Creek
(and most of the sewage from the dis
trict Just west) pass under Park
avenue and this comparison will give
the people of the city some idea Of the
size OF the big tunnel it is proposed
to build. 1t is figured that this sized
sewer will properly drain all the ter
ritory from Selma avenue on the south
to point 500 feet north of Grand
avenue on the north and the big ex-
panse of fiat land to the west of the
city lying between these two points
and the engineer contends that this is
all the city should try to accomplish
with this sewer. Mr.. Alvord limited
at the nightmare that is ever present
study Of the sewer problem in Ke-
nosha when he stated that this sewer
as planned would be a component part
OF the complete sewer system which
would ultimately have to be built to
properly drain the entire city. The re-
port made a decided impression on the
members of the Council and it is prob
able that it has settled all disputed
points in regard to the project. The
Council engaged Mr.. Alvord on the
Recommendation Of other engineers as
the foremost engineer in this line of
work in this part of the country and
the aldermen must have had faith
enough in his ability to accept his
suggestions as correct or they would
not have engaged him to advise them.
1t should be stated that the conclu-
sions of Mr.. Alvord in regard to the
details of construction of the big sewer
coincide very closely with those Of City
Engineer Moth, but it was thought
best both by the aldermen and the
city engineer to call in an outside en-
gineer to pass on plans involving such
a large outlay of the people S money.
If the aldermen profit by the knowl
edge they have gained by employing
one they will have the satisfaction of
knowing that they have done their
best to prevent any mistakes being
made in the plans.
The partisans of Cook and Peary can
learn something from the course being
pursued by the officers of the scien-
tiic societies who it must be conceded
have really deeper interest in the
achievements Of the explorers than
anybody else outside of the men actu-
ally engaged in the expeditions. The
scientists are sending identical tele-
grams of congratulation to both men
and waiting for them to furnish their
proofs before taking sides in the con-
troversy.

The plans for the big sewer are be-
ing prepared in the office of the city
engineer in accordance with the rec
concentrations made by the consulting
engineer called in by the Council, and
in case any interested citizen has any
further suggestions to offer in regard
to the plans now is the time to make
them. The report of the consulting
engineer is on file with the city clerk
and may be examined by any one in
terested in the big sewer, and the city
engineer would doubtless be ready and
willing to explain any technicalities
that are not clearly understood by any
one examining the report. The mem
bers of the Council do not claim to
be experts in sewer building but they
have made an effort to avoid any ex-
pensive mistakes in the plans for this
sewer by securing the best expert ad-
vice that money could buy, and many
of the aldermen would like to have
the approval of as many of the prop
erty owners Of the city as possible
before casting their final votes for the
acceptance Of these plans. Property
owners who fail to take advantage of
the opportunity given them to look
over these plans before they are &C
cepted by the Council will have lost
their right to kick when they discover
what they believe to be defects in
them later

NEED NOT BRAVE VICIOUS DOGS
Carriers Not Required to Deliver Mail
Where Vicious Dogs Run at Large

Owners of dogs may be deprived of
the privilege of the free delivery of
their mail. If dogs are little too
trohcsome or show disposition to be
unfrlendly with the letter carrier, he
may take his postmaster into his
confidence and the latter has the dis
erection to compel the owner of the
dog to call at the postoffice for his
mail.
1t is not necessary for the carrier
to suffer the humiliation Of separ-
ating himself from a part of his wear
ing apparel, but he may act upon
apprehension. The neighborhood rep
utation of the dog under considera-
tion is all the information which the
department is required to obtain to
guide official action.
The regulation of the postofice de-
partment reads: "Carriers are not re-
CURED to deliver mail at residences
where vicious dogs are permitted to
run at large. Persons keeping such
dogs must call at the postofice for
their mail -
Patrons by muzzling vicious dogs or
by keeping them securely chained
may be able to prevail upon the post
master to have their mail delivered
by the carrier.

In spite of the usual handicaps and
delays inseparable from government
work of all kinds satisfactory progress
was made at first on the new federal
building and the people of the city en-
tertained hopes that all records might
be broken in this case and a govern
ment job actually completed in the
time called for in the contract, but
the announcement that some Of the
material has been found defective has
blasted these hopes and the prospects
that the postoffice might be able to
move into it's new quarters within a
reasonable times have gone glimmer-
ing. The delay in the completion Of
the building will be a disappointment
to all Of the people Of the city particu-
larly to the force at the post office
which will have to continue to do the
best they can to handle the mail bust
ness of the city for months longer
than was anticipated in the present
entirely inadequate quarters. 1t will
take about six weeks to replace the
material that failed to pass the govern
ment inspection and that means that
the, new material will arrive here too
late to do much of anything with it
this fall and that all further work on
the building is practically put off I'M
til next spring. That being the case
the contractors should be required to
clear off the walks around the lot so
that pedestrians will not have to walk
in the street to reach the county build
ings all winter. No one objected TO
being kept off the walks while building
operations were going on, but now that
it is certain that there is to be
long delay the public should be given
the use of the walks.

The government crop reports of the
first of the month show heavy fall
ing off from the estimates of the prob
able yield made by the statisticians
in August especially in corn. While
the accuracy of these reports has of
ten been questioned by spectators and
others interested in making rates on
grain they have big influence on
prices nevertheless and the announce
ment of drop in the estimates will
have tendency to delay the movement
of the crops for a time The railroads
will be glad of anything that will hold
back the flood of grain for few
weeks for there is enough of crop
already assured to swamp all the
transportation facilities and give the
roads all the business they can handle
even though the hope of raise in
prices should influence the farmers to
hang on to a part of their crops and
do away with the grand rush to get
into the market early that the rail
roads have been attempting to prepare
for all summer.

Special Legislative Commit
tee ON Insurance TO Make
Many Changes
WOULD PROTECT LABORERs

! When the special legislative commit
tee on industrial insurance meets three
definite bills on the question will be
presented to the committee according
to the statements of people in posi-
ton to know. With these bills a ten
tative basis for committee work will
be started and it is likely that at the
session Of the committee arrangements
will be made when hearings shall be
commenced on the bills.
The three measures which will be
proposed will be presented by Sena-
tors Sanborn and Blaine and Assem-
blyman Wallace Ingalls,. The meas
ures are:
| 1. An absolute compulsory indemni-
ty bill providing for payments for all
accidents with state fund to meet
these payments to be paid out of a
fund raised by a tax graduated ac-
cording to the risk of the plant
against which the tax is assessed.
2. A bill for the settlement of dam
ages growing out of accidents by the
state labor commissioner, the amount
of the damage to be fixed by state
medical board with provision that in
cases of appeal from the decisions of
the board, certain defenses shall be de
MED the employer, while only the di-
rect negligence Of the employer shall
be competent to sustain a case of the
employee.
3. A state accident insurance bill.
T Although the compulsory indemnity
bill will be introduced by Senator
Sanborn, the arbitration bill by Sena-
tor Blaine and the state insurance bill
by Mr.. ingalls, it is not the understand
| ing that any of these bills is the pet
theory of the author or that the con-
stitutionality is youched for by the
author. 1t was decided at the last
meeting of the committee that tentative
bills along these lines would be drawn
as a working basis for the committee
and this division of the work was
made.
