p
Add the judgments against the vio-
lators of the prohibitory law in the
criminal cases and the attorneys fees
allowed in the injunction proceedings
and you will have the total fees which
Mr. Simon has been allowed since he
entered office. Some of the criminal
cases were filed in the days of John
Schenck, but were not tried until after
Simon took office. Fees which Mr..
Simon was allowed in these cases to-
tailed $3.50 and Schenck. perhaps IN
knowingly left his successor a hand
some nest egg.
In the injunction cases it will b.
noted that Simon secured injunction
against both the Turner'S and German
American clubs. From each of thest
he collected, or was allowed, a $50
attorneys fee, in addition to $25 in
each of the criminal cases At almost
the same time that actions were
brought against the Turner'S and Ger
man-American club, suit was filed
against the Fslks. Although Mr. Simon
had been allowed $3.50 from two clubs,
he did not push the case against the
Elks. When the action was filed, the
Elks resented the attempt to slap an
injunction on their building at Sew
enth and Jackson streets and employed
attorneys to fight their case. Simon,
on his own motion secured a tenn
porary injunction against the club, but
since that time has never found occa-
sion TO Try the case on It's merits.
Credit should be given Mr.. Simon for
his waiver of attorneys fees in a few
instances. Neither should it be
charged that the county attorney is
personally responsible for the fee sys-
tem-much as it has been overworked
in Shawnee county. It is a good law
for the official
County Pays Expenses
One attorney stated today that there
is scarcely law firm in Topeka which
is making 5000 to $4,000 a year. Yet
there are dozen legal firms here
whose rentals, clerk and stenographer
hire run into the hundreds of dollars
annually. Mr. Simon, as county attor-
ney, has all these advantages provided
at public expense His office is kent
in condition by mployed by
the county His two assistants are
paid more money by Shawnee county
than assistants ever drew before
thanks to an energetic legislative lob
by. Mr. Simon's office is provided
with g StenOgrapher-at public ex-
pense-and Mr.. Simon himself draws
a larger salary than any of his prede-
cesSors.
Mr.. Simon is ambitious. Not con-
tent with the few advantages shower
ed by a benevolent legislature, he has
played the one big card which insures
personal financial gain-liquor prose-
cutionS. His record shows more liquor
cases than at any time in the history
of the county. Inquisitions have been
held with freedOm-at public expense
and after getting into court, many
cases have been sidetracked bodily
also at public expense. In the major
ity of the other cases, Mr.. Simon has
been allowed fees as previously re-
cited
Shrewd, careful lawyers will tell you
that in its present condition, the office
of county attorney is one of the really
fat jobs in the court house.

LOCAL LEGISLATION
Continued from First PasO

the wise and friendly suggestions and
the petition be filed for reference.
To the Board of City Councilman: On
behalf of the Woman's Club of Ocala,
l present the following measures which
We hope you will adopt and enforce,
believing them 10 be OF benefit to the
city.
1st. That an ordinance be passed
requiring the housekeepers Of the city
TO burn all light trash. such as papers.
paper bags, strawberry baskets and
similar trash in their kitchen stoves
or in their own back yards, requiring
the city carts TO remove only such rub
bish as cannot be burned on ones
premises, such as tin cans, bottles. etc
With less trash 10 carry from private
premises, these men and carts will
have more time to keep the streets
clean and in better condition and be
able to move all the leaves. which are
now burned on the streets. TO the sandy
and unpaved streets, thereby improv-
ing them similar 10 the pine strawed
roads throughout the country. This
will eliminate the diSagreeable smoke
nuisance and also leave the streets
clean of adjourned piles of leaves
End. That all the hard paved streets
condition and that the sprinkling cart
be freely used during the dry season
Bird That the A. c. L. Railway be
required to keep Waterman on its
tracks from Oklawaha avenue to Fort
King avenue. ana that said Waterman
be required to walk a sufficient dis
lance in front OF the train or engine to
give warning to those passing, instead
OF riding on the cowcatcher as he often
does. At the Seaboard crossing a
Waterman is stationed all OF the time,
and the \. c. L. crossings are in a much
more travelled portion of the city and
the danger correspondingly greater.
We especially urge this matter.
Now that spring is approaching.
bringing with it millions of flies and
mosquitoes, we ask that the sanitary
committee give full and explicit in
structions to sanitary officers, requir-
ing them to use every means possible
towards the suppression of insects and
disease and to begin at once thorough
cleaning of the town, oiling all ponds
and cutters where mosquitoes can
hatch and seeing that all places where
flies breed are disinfected, and enforc-
ing this ordinance to its fullest
5th. We also urge you to the i'm
proVement or our water system and
wish to assure you of our hearty sup
port along these lines.
9Th. We also wish to say that we
are greatly interested in these meas
ures, and in their adoption and en-
forcement, also in all things pertaining
to the betterment of the town: that we
are glad to give our support TO the
council in every way possible and to
help in every way where our services
are needed.
Thanking you for all courteSies
Very truly. Mrs. c. r. Tydings
Chairman Civic Committee Woman's
Club, Ocala. Florida.

Mr.. Helvenston read a letter from
the VIM. w. Lyons Co, who recently.
without expense to the city. made

Ions capacity. The spondence was

More Street Equipment Needed

Mr.. Carroll, chairman of the street
committee, reported that he had gone
over every paved street in the city with
Mr.. Dodson. the superintendent, that
they had noted carefully the condition
OF each block of lime streets and would
proceed with the work of repairing
and keeping them in good condition to
the best of their ability. regardless of
locality or personal feeling. He reported
that the extreme dry weather had ne
cessitated considerable use of the stree;
sprinkler and that this would be con-
tinued until rain comes. Mr. Carroll
stated that the present street equip
ment of three mules and three carts
was entirely inadequate to keep up
with the repair work of our several
miles of streets, TO say nothing of new
work, and that he would formally ask
the council at its next meeting for two
additional mules and carts so that the
work could be properly handled
Mr.. Helvenston, chairman of the san
itary committee, who realizes more
than any one the great expense that is
incurred by this department in haul
ing out to the dumping grounds the
leaves and other trash that could be
burned with the proper facilities. stat
ed that he was in correspondence with
different parties looking into the mat
ter of relief. President Jones remind
ed the council that a resolution offer
ed by Mr. Carroll last year asked to
have u committee look into the matter
of a city crematory: that the question
had been referred TO the sanitary com
mttee and asked AIr. Helvenston "a

Mr. ZONES hrpn oh, nm q ynait.r nt
the necessity of more current at the
electric light plant right away and
suggested that the question he taken
up at once. Mr.. Carroll made motion
10 have the light and water commit
tee take up the matter of additional
equipment TO supply the current. cost
of same. etc. and report AT the earliest
day. The motion was adopted.
Only Good for Scrap Iron
The council discussed the public
drinking fountains at the court house
put in by the civic league several years
ago and now out of commission. Mr.
Tydings stated that the ladies Were
attempting TO get them changed for
new ones and pay the difference. but
it was the Impression that they were
worthless except for scrap iron. On mo-
| ton the sanitary committee was in
Structed TO meet the county commits
sioners now in session and see If they
would pay half the expense of new
fountains so that same could he in
stalled before the hot weather. as there
are no facilities for the country people
to water their horses. If same could
be arranged the committee was EN-
powered TO proceed with the work "a
rapidly as possible and put in substan-
tial self-draining fountains.
The Bond Issue
\ short discussion on bonds ensued
and the city attorney was instructed
to look into the city charter and see
just how much of bond issue We
could float a vote of the people
without having to go before the legis-
| lature to have the charter amended
! Some thought we could float a sufficient
bond issue for our present needs with
out appealing to that body.
