RAILROADS ARE
READY TO PAY

That the railroads are ready to
pay the city for the location of the
present city hall, at any time the
city is ready to turn the property
over to the railways for a location
for a union depot is the announce
ment made by President Robert e
Strahorn of the North Coast road
last night.
This announcement relieves the
mind of the city authorities, who
have been wondering whether the
city should proceed with condemna
ton proceedings on the property
at Front and Wall streets, where
the new city hall will be located
without having first received pay
ment from the railways for the
present site.
Pursuant to instructions from the
city council, the corporation coun
sci has begun preparation of pa
pers in the condemnation suit.

DRIVER HURT
IN RUNAWAY

Otto Shuniek, driver for the j. F.
Hill paving company, was painfully
and rather seriously injured this
morning, when the heavy team
which he was driving took fright
and started to run.
Shuniek was attempting to drive
across the street car tracks at
Second and Walnut streets, where
paving is under way, and one
wheel of his wagon struck a high
rail, fitting the wagon and frighten-
ing the team, which started to run.
The driver was thrown out and
struck his head on the rail, Sc
verely decorating his scalp. His
back was also injured.

WANT A RAISE
FOR LINDSAY

Commissioner George Armstrong
Of the city water department has
recommended to the council that
the salaries Of Superintendent Lind
say of the water department, the
chief foreman and four construc-
ton foremen be increased. 1t is
suggested that Lindsay be raised
from $3.50 to $175 per month, that
the chief foreman be raised from
$125 to $3.50 per month and that the
four sub-foremen be increased from
81 to IS per day. Armstrong gives
as his reason for desiring the in
crease that these men are highly
competent and are worth more
money than they are at present re-
ceiving.

Broad for $4,000. There is a
great deal of vacant property
along the line of construction and
the property owners prefer greatly
to have no sewer at all than to
have one put through at that fig
ure. They say that while a sewer
is needed it is not needed at that
price. The taxes will amount to
about 81 the front foot, which will
mean in the neighborhood of $3.50
for every 50-foot lot, and as great
many of the lots are vacant 1t will
mean an almost useless expendi-
ture for some. Residents are will
ing to pay anything in reason, but
think that this amount is exhorbi-
tant to say the least.

about half and half vote on the

dismissed.
The secon suit brought against the
estate was the claim Of Artemus Ca
briel Gale for $22. 900. The executor
held the bond of Artemus Gale for
10000 to make good any claim de-
cided In court in favor of the plaintiff

~ compromised and the estates Of
Artemus Gale and Helen G.. McKennan
were released from any liability.

nan against the estate for $4,000 and
