WOMEN WILL RIDE.
Plan Is to Haul Them to Polls on
Election Day.

The ladies who are registered and
qualified to vote at the election of
November 2, will be given a lift on
that date SO that they will not be in
convenienced in going to the polls. This
was decided at meeting at noon of
The municipal legislation committee of
me Commercial club. The friends of
tie commission plan will provide
vfhlcles. The commissioner of cleo.
tions will be asked to furnish a list of
| he women who are qualified to vote
1t was decided that the committee
would ask friends of the commission
an to be present at the mass meeting
at the Auditorium to be held on Mon
Cay evening which the opposition

Violation of Charter Act.
A State Journal reporter made the
G, scovery today that the street COM
missioner is being paid a salary $500
IN excess of that allowed by the char
Ter act
Last spring the committee on ways
and means at the time the salary ordi-
rance was revised recommended that
The salary of this official be raised.
Without referring to the charter act
tie matter went through the council
without question. While no one will
doubt the worth of the street commits
sioner nor begrudge him the $500,
Yet nevertheless it is a fact that the
law does not provide for the salary
WITCH is now being paid.
Section IS of the charter act reads:
THE mayor by and with the consent
CT the council, shall appoint a street
commissioner. who shall receive a
salary not exceeding twelve hundred
dollars per annum.''
Section 95 of the charter act speci.
hes that heavy penalty shall be i'm
Iosed for the violation of the act. and
that the mayor and council shall be
held responsible for any sum of money
Iald out not authorized by the act.
Members of the committee con-
sidered this discovery point in favor
of the commission plan. and believe
that it proves that what is anybody's
business is nobody's business.

MINING NOTES.

Bunker Hill-This mine during the
six months ending December 31st,
1908, crushed II, SIT tons Of ore, in ia
working days. The proceeds includ-
ing sulphurets, was S123, 53S, being an
average of $3.50 per ton. OF this sum
ZOO was distributed to the stock
holders in seven dividends, including
a special Christmas dividend. The
first of the year there was a surplus
in the treasury of $50, 676.35. From
this it will be seen that the mine is
in most prosperous condition.
Sinking is being continued, to de-
veIop two new levels below the pre-
sent lowest working level. This work,
and the drifts to encounter the ledge,
will probably take three or four
months to finish. Upon the result of
this development will depend whether
additional milling capacity will be
decided upon.
