INSPECTOR MANLEY FINDS THE
CONDITIONS FAIR.
Some Quarters Are Crowded; Stand
Taken BY Mayor A. G. Meyer
Regarding Licenses.

Mayor Meyer and Thomas Marley

and vicinity last evening. In speak.

the city have too crowded quarters.
Made Some Recommendations
Mr.. Manley made recommendations
to the different prOprietors as to how
they can improve the sanitary con.
dition, and the proprietors promised
to carry these suggestions out. Mr.
Manley will return to the city in a
short time and see whether his rec
concentrations have been carried out,
and if not he will take some more
decisive means to secure compliance
with the law. 1t may be that az.

MAYOR MEYER. AND COUNCIL
UNJUSTLY BLAMED.
They Cannot Be Held Responsible
for Increase in, Amount Levied
Against Taxpayers.

There seems to be miSunder-
standing in regard to the tax rate
for the current year. People getting
their notices of personal property
taxes have gotten the idea that the
tax rate is higher than last year,
but this is mistake. The rate is
the same as, last year 1t was 80
mills last year and is 80 mills this
year.
While the rate is the same for the
two years, the items going to make
it up are different. In the fall Of
1909, the. council made a levy of
2S.5 mills, but the present council,
under the commission form of CIV.
eminent, cut this down to 25.4 mills
in making its levy this last fall.
The school board in the fall of 1909
made a levy of $4,000, which
amounted to 1912 mills, and this last
fall made levy of the same amount
as the previous fall, but in making
up the rate the amount in mills is
10.5 mills, or only three-tenths of Il
mill more.
Added BY State. Auditor.
The state auditor, however, added
i'll 1909 three-tenths of mill for
interest on the state loan, and this
last fall increased this to 81 mills.
through misapprehension of the
facts, no doubt In his leavy this
fall he levied enough to not only
pay the interest on the bonds but
enough to take up the $500 prin-
cipal falling due July l, and fifty
per cent additional as required by
law. The school board had already
raised this amount or had it in
process of raising, through yearly
levies for the sinking fund. The at.
tenticn of the state auditor was call
ed to this fact by County Auditor
Weaver, but it was too late, and this
double amount has therefore to be
raised this year. The school dis
trict will have about $4,000 more
than it calculated upon, and with
this sum it can doubtless pay off
the most of the remaining high
school bonds outstanding, which
will amount to $4,000.
Mayor Meyer and the city council
have been unjustly blamed by some
taxpayers for the apparent raise in
the levy. In spite of the additional
and unnecessary levy made by the
state auditor, the tax rate remains
the same as it was last year, and
the city levy is 81 mills less than
1t was q year ago. This is good
showing for the present city admin

An Overloaded Furnace Caused the
Formation of Gas; An Explo.

Have Expired Yesterday; the
Board to Rebuild Right Away.

From Wednesdays Daily.
An overloaded furnace in the

CURED, followed by a fire. The
building was consumed. Not thing
was saved, and it is believed by the
members of the boarG OF education
that the $4,000 insurance carried on
the structure expired yesterday.
However this cannot be determined
until the return of the secretary,
John M. Chapman, who is in st.
Paul attending a meeting OF the
State Agricultural society.
Before School Was Called.
The explosion and fire happened
at $3.50 this morning before scholars
and teachers had entered the build
ing. The spectacular affair was
timed just right to avoid injuring
and perhaps killing someone. Be.
ing a decidedly cold morning the
janitor gave the gaping furnace an
extra dose of coal, and then the gas
formed, the explosion and fire fol.
lowed and Garden City is now with
out a school house. But it will
not be for long. The board of edu.
cation will rebuild as soon as the
necessary arrangements can b.
made.

The burned building was two

school was graded in compliance

The building was valued at $12 900
No other property was damaged,
although residences near by were
stripped OF their contents for fear
that they were in danger. The
wind was blowing away from the
village, otherwise The whole town
might have been in ashes today.

DAVE HASEY'S BOORISH MAN.
NER ON A TRAIN.
His lmpoIite and UncalIed For Con.
duct Toward a Mother With
Four Small Children.

From Fridays Daily
AS a rule the conductors on the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Omaha road are gentlemen whom it
is pleasure to know, and to ride
on their trains is delight But
once in while the traveller is
forced to ride on train in charge
of one Dave Hasey-most every
body who rides up and down the
him-and the better one knows him
the less he respects him. How Hasey
has managed to hold position that
brings him in contact with ladies'
and gentlemen is one of the UNI
fathomable mysteries.
Hasey Was in Charge.
On Tuesday afternoon of this
week Hasey was in charge of pas
senger train northbound. Among
those who boarded the train at
MankatO was a mother and tour
small children. The mother had
provided herself with transportation
to st. Paul, but had purchased none
for her oldest child-a boy The
train started OH it's way. Along came
this rude fellow Hasey. He strutted
down the aisle with a great show
Of pomposity. Collecting the
mothers fare, Hasey demanded
in an impolite tone of voice
ticket for the boy. The lady
who is refined and cultured, was Wis
IDLY embarrassed and shocked at the
uncalled for manner in which the
conductor had addressed her. The
mortified mother politely informed
the autocrat of the train that she
had not bought a ticket for the
boy as she did not know the rules
required it. Instead of treating the
lady as gentleman would, this mis-.
fit in uniform bawled out that unless
the fare was forthcoming he would
put her off at the next station.
Think of it! Eject woman and
four little children from train at
a small station on day like Tues
day was, the thermometer register
ing many degrees below zero and
the wind blowing strong from the
north. That would have been the act
OF gentleman! Having paid her
own fare what right would this
martinez have to put her off the
train, much less threaten to do SO.
Hasey is the person that should
have been put off the train-booted
off.
Object to Insulting Manner.
The Free Press is not censurins
Hasey for enforcing rule of the
railroad company which requires the
collection of proper fares, but it is
the insulting manner in, which the
boorish fellow undertook to perform
his duty. But it is his habit He
does not know how to act the part
of gentleman.
A gentleman Oh the train came to
the rescue of the mother, provided
her with the money with which to
satisfy Haseys demand. 1t appears
that the mother and her children
had been visiting friends in Man
kato and were returning to their
home in st. Paul. The mother at
the time had just money enough to
pay her own fare. She is the wife
of well-known and highly respected
business man, who is amply able to
pay many fares. Also he could buy
and sell H9Sey MANY times over

ton or embezzlement than other
men, but that when man goes
wrong his instinct is to throw 9TH
ers off the track, and he usually
turns to the Sunday-school to divert
suspicion and induce a belief that
he is absolutely honest" Since this
theory of the bonding business is
evidently based on experience, it is
difficult to say much of anything in
reply. But it is decidedly rough on
the Sunday-SchoOlS.

Patrick J. Gibbons was brought to

to the State hospital for the dan
