POSSIBLY CASE OF
HORSE STEALING
DRIVING OUTFIT TAKEN FROM IN
FRONT OF PRESBYTERIAN
PARSONAGE.
Up to Time Of Going to Press No
Trace Had Been Found-May Have
Been Boyish Prank.

Mrs. Robert Clarke and daughter,
who live about two miles south of
the city, where the 500 crosses the
N. p, drove to the city last evening
and hitched their horse in front of
the Presbyterian parsonage. About
1920 they heard their horse start
down the street, and just as they
came out of the house caught sight OF
the rig going at a good pace. They
Immediately phoned to the police and
afterwards notified all the livery
stables, but no trace of the animal
or the buggy could be found.
The ladies are of the opinion that
it is a case of horse stealing, but 9th
ers are inclined to the opinion that
some boys wished to enjoy a ride and
as the animal was we'll known in the
city helped themselves without the
permission of the owners.
At any rate the outfit has not been
found as yet and when the instigat.
ors of the joke or the crime, as the
case may be, are discovered it may
60 hard with them.
Mrs. Clarke and her daughter were
compelled to hire a conveyance to
take them to their home. The po-
lice are on the lookout for the rig.
The horse was a rather old one, sor-
rel, in fold, and with a white mark
on the forehead, and had saddle
marks. The buggy is single seated,
open rig.

Commission Meets a. Board Of Equal

to BE settled This Evening".

ID There was an interesting meeting
Of the city commission at the city
hall last evening.
! Commissioner Lucas reported that
the number of petitioners for the
extention of water mains on, Fifth
street had finally dwindled to two
and upon this report it was decided
not to petition the water company
to extend the mains and the matter
was left in that state whom the meet
ing adjourned. ' .'.'.
The matter. of the extension Of
the street railway was taken up and
a committee appointed to wait upon
the governor to see what recommen-
dations he would make to the next
legislature regarding the extention
of the line7 down Ninth street and
to- the pen and the fort. It was the
opinion of the commissioners that
this liz q matter that should be at
tended to in the near future as 1t
will undoubtedly have q great deal
to do with the growth of the city.
The matter of the selection OF q
site for city park will also rest to
a great extent upon the decision OF
the board regarding the extension
of the line. T a : ~"i,a5. - 80.

that as yet he has not been able
to find a eman who mhe thought was

house and city hall, was finally
closed and the money will be paid
over today. - vs. (
The check which has been the
cause Of so much discussion and
which was given by one Tracy in
payment Of a theatrical license and
later found to be no good was turned
down by the commissioners and the
loss will fall upon Former Treasurer
Fortune who accepted the check.
The subject of the city scales was
brought up on a communication
read from resident of the city Of
fering to conduct the scale and give
the city ten per cent Of the gross
receipts from it. The matter was
taken under advisement until the
next meeting.
The bids for the construction of
cement sidewalks in the city for the
year of LAO was opened and as there
was only one, the matter was imme'
diately taken under discussion.
There are some parts of the new
ordinance that are objectional to
certain members of the commission
and a special meeting will be held
this evening to discuss the matter
and it is probable that the ordinance
will be slightly amended and passed
then and the contract for the work
let to the only bidder who made an
effort to get the job. The firm which
put in the bid is located at Hope,
NJ n There were no bids from anv
of the local concerns.

or and on for several years. there
have been suggestions made looking
to the establishment of a public foun-
tain or trough for watering horses
in the street.
Various devices have been mention
ed, but City Commissioner H. G.
Gieremann seems to have fallen upon
the very thing. He is in receipt OF
q handsomely illustrated book show
ing the stone public drinking foun-
tain given to municipalities upon the
proper application, by the National
Humone Alliance of New York.
/. This gift is made possible by the
philanthropy Of Herman Lee Ensign

pose of gifts Of fountains to cities

ably would haev a more complete
report to make at the next meeting.
Commissioner Jackson reported
that there had been number. of
complaints registered regarding the
manure piles about the city and will
look into the matter during the
week. He has not had time to make
"a report on the location Of a dump.
ing ground but promised that the
matter will be finally disposed of
before the next regular meeting.
Mr.. Jackson also stated that he was
looking up the matter Of street cross
ings and will report the number ne
cessary and the probable cost at the
next meeting. In connection with
the crossings City Attorney Regis.
ter stated that it was his opinion
that the commission could issue
bonds upon a certain amount with
out submitting the matter to the
public for vote. It Is very prob
able that the issue of $1,000 worth
Of bonds will be started at the next
meeting. Commissioner Jackson re.
ported that there will probably be
an arrangement reached with the
electric lighting company whereby
a number of the poles now used by
the street railway line will be taken
from the streets, the wires to be
carried on the pole of the light COM
pany. There is no work being done
on the present crossing contract and
it is probable none will be done un-
til some definite understanding Is
arrived at.
Commissioner Lucas reported that
he had received prices for drinking
fountains to be placed on the streets
for the use of live stock and two
styles with the prices had been sub
mitted, one costing between $50 and
$95 and the other from $27 to $35
each. Commissioner Gieremann
then came to the front with pro-
position from the National Humane
Alliance, whereby the city could OBJ
tain a handsome drinking fountain
gratis. A description of the foun.
tain and the condition under which
it can be obtained by the city will
be found in another article in this
issue of The Tribune. Gieremann

mittee to confer with the water COM
pany to see what arrangements could
be made for water for the fountain
in case it is installed.
Commissioner G1eremann reported
that all of the banks had agreed to
pay an interest of per cent on time
deposits of the city money and that
only one was willing to pay any in
terest on daily balances. The COM
missioner was directed to see that
the money which could be deposited
for periad Of at least six months
was divided equally between the
three banks and also to see that they
each filed q bond in the sum of $751;
600. There was considerable warm
discussion as to whether the pro-
position of one of the banks to pay
an interest on daily balances should
have any effect on the amount of
money deposited In that bank but 1t
was finally decided as above. Com
missioner Gieremann introduced a
resolution to be- presented to the
board Of county commissioners rec
ommending to them that they hold
all warrants Of parties who are ow-
Ing money to the city for personal
taxes until said taxes are paid. This
resolution will be presented to the
county, dads at their next meeting.

MILLER MAKES ARGUMENTS.
Asks for Change Of Venue In McGil-
Iis Case.

Attorney Genreal Miller made his
arguments before the district court
yesterday morning for a change OF
venue in the cases of Sheriff McGillis
charged with allowing liquor to be
sold in a building owned by him and
Messrs. Higgins and Myers, for con-
Quoting a blind pig. The change was
asked for on the grounds that the
attorney general thought fair hear
ing could not be had in this county.
The case was taken under advise
ment by Judge Winchester and under
the law he is supposed to make de-
cision on the arguments inside of
thirty days.
