FIRE At CITY HALL
Flue Cap Left Off in City Engineers
Room Causes a Blaze-Dam-
age Was Slight.

Fire was discovered Saturday night
about 1880 o'clock in the engineer
office at the city hall by Assistant En-.
gineer Colbert, who had occasion to
enter the room to get package he
had left there. He rushed down
stairs, and, seeing Fireman Jack Col
Inns, tod him, and Collins assisted in
extinguishing the blaze.
The fire was caused by a fue car
being left off when the paperhangers
papered the room and an unusually
hot stove fire had been built in the
room below occupied by Syrian
grocer. The wall paper over the flue
burned out and beneath the opening
was a pile of paper, which would easi.
ly have ignited had not the blaze been
extinguished by Collins with bucket
OF water. Little damage was done.

Mr.. T. c. Hurlbert, in reply to
our suggestion and proposition last
week that he eight annexation, F"
declines and gives what might APP
pear to be plausible reasons for so
doing. The first reason given in
wolves the rock crusher PROPOSE
tion. Mr.. Hurlbert says that Mr..
Nease can cease to furnish rock for
the city streets now by forfeiting
$500. This we will not attempt
to deny, because il is fact. He
further states that Mr.. Nease is a
business man. This is also true.
Therefore, being a business man
and a good one, he saw an oppor.
tunity of doing a stroke of business
with the city of St. Johns. He
made a proposition to the city
council Of operating its rock crush
er and using its rock, which was
gladly accepted. He agreed to fur
nish rock for the streets of the
city of St. Johns at a rate Of IS
cents per yard with a rebate TO the
city of 2Hc per yard for use Of
the utilities. He ostensively made
this very low rate because under
the terms OF his contract he could
charge any price he saw ft for
rock not used on the streets Of the
city OF ST. Johns" Here is where
his profit was TO come in. He will
tell you las he has told the editor and
others, that some of the rock he
furnishes to the city Of ST. Johns
costs actually more than IS cents
per yard for production. While
the city was operating the plant
the average cost Of production per
yard was greatly IN excess Of IS
cents. Mr.. Nease, however, Is
satisfied with the arrangement, be-
cause he can see where he can dis
pose Of large quantities Of rock at
prices much greater than received

the council Tuesday night that he
was receiving sIaS and $3.50 per

cause Mr.. Nease, T. II. Cochran
and others claim it is harder, more
durable and breaks sharper. We
have thus very conclusvely proven
that with annexation IS cent rock
will vanish from our midst.
Mr.. Hurlbert grew little incon-
sistent when he states that Mr..
Nease can furnish Portland with
rock at ST. so per yard until he has
enough to Offset the bond, and a
little farther on intimates Portland
can get as good rock at a much less
price. Certainly that city would
pay Mr.. Nease 81 so per yard and
pay ferry charges besides If it could
get rock cheaper nearer home with
no ferry charges to pay. The
"hcad man" Mr.. Hurlbert man-
tions, if he is ON to his job at all,
knows that the city engineer of
Portland estimates all rock for
street purposes at 81. so per yard
at the bunkers.
As to the water question, why
discuss itl Mr.. Hurlbert knows as
we know that annexation will in
nowise change the situation here
for years to come, unless the local
company desiISs to dispose Of its
holding. And IL it is making as

cussed from a standpoint of com.
parison in rates, we will certainly
concede that the rates are lower in
Portland than St. Johns, If the lay
ing of pipes by property owners
and taxes for water bonds are not
taken into consideration. But when
Portland had a dozen or more times
the population St. Johns now has
the rate was higher than II now is
here. We might go farther--to
Vancouver, Wash, where with a
population OF several times what we
have the rate is today 20 per cent
higher than obtains in St. Johus.

As to "if one is benefited all will
