Mayor 6reltmcyer VIII Deliver An
nuai Message At Council Meeting.

AZ 7 o'clock Tuesday evening the
common council of 1909 convenes In
session for the last time. Only routine
business will be attended To before
the resolution To adjourn sine die Is
put. II Is probable that President
Herman =. link will make short
speech. thanking the aldermen for
their help during his year OF admins
tration.
Then the council will Teconvene.
Aid. Thomas K. Gilman will be elect
ed as president. probably without any
opposition. and George Ellis AS presi-
dent pro tempore. Next will come
Mayor Breitmeyers second annual
message.
II II expected that the annual mes
sage will deal largely with the street
railway question. The mayor will
point TO promises fulfilled as far as
the appointment and work OF the com
mittee of fifty Is concerned Then he
will outline his policy for the coming
year. That has been largely fore
Swallowed by his utteranccs In the
past two months. He favors the Sc
curing OF extensions of lines and bet
ter service first, and then lower fares.
The question OF increasing the bond
ing limit for the purpose OF making
improvements Is also likely To be
gone into ut length. An increase In
the bonding limit will be favored. so
that parks. Fairgrounds. n convention
hall and other improvements may be
had at once.
There are still a number OF matters
to which Mayor Breitmeyer referred
in his first message which have not
been taken up by the council and he
may again call attention 10 these.
II is expected that big delega-
ton will be present from the Eigh-
teenth ward to welcome the new presi-
dent OF the council.

MUSTN'T GREASE THE WAYS"
Haarer Hands Out Advice to Bidders
For Brick Contracts.

Commissioner Haarer. of the depart
ment OF public works, is considering
cutting down the number OF firms with
which the city will enter into contracts
for supplying paving brick next sea-
son. He has done business with nine
or ten companies previously. this be-
ing for the purpose of being. sure OF an
adequate supply. but believes that he
may be able to get all the brick he
needs-about 10000 .000-from five or
six companies this season.
Haarer will use his judgment and
experience In picking out the kinds OF
brick to be chosen. The narrowing
of the number Of companies will re-
suit in lowering Of the average price
paid for brick, as more OF the cheapest
brick will be used proportionately.
Such policy VIII result. no doubt. IN
protest from the dealers whose prices
are just above the line OF demarcation
adopted by Haarer. II may also result
in pulling and hauling In the council

bids or reject them and call for ro-
Haarer has very plainly told tho
brick men that there must be no at
tempts to grease the ways" for con
tracts.
II will not stand for any hold-up
game by committee or anyone else"
is about the way he has put IL.
The brick contracts will go to the
new committee ON streets next week.
Last year the contracts were held up
for weeks but the aldermen finally &C
cepted Hearers recommendations.
Knicker-Jones thinks he is boss.
