NO MONEY FOR WEED CUT7'".
Comptroller Finds Fund Set Asie
That Purpose is Exhausted.
ELECTION FUND Is ALSO GO.
Ii L. Expected, However, This Fund
win ne RepIcnished When the
water hoard Pays for the
Late Elections.

In the very middle OF the summer the
city Is left without cent In the tund
for cutting weeds CITY Comptroller Cos
grove has found that OF the SloQe set aside
for that purpose to he expended by the
street commissioner, only s25 was left, and
that was spent during Saturday morning.
The regular rate of expenditure whsle the
money lasted has been $40 a day. and the
amount left was just enough FOR the sat
urday half day. Tue street commissioner
will have no chance to cut any more weeds
Unless he takes something from the street
cleaning fund. That had 10000 at the Boz
ginning of the ear. and the present
amount ia about S25,OlO. II is possible that
some help may I've obtained by converting
some of this money to weed cutting pur-
poses.
The election fund Of the city is also near
exhaustion, with only 2i3S5l left. This will
soon be replenished however. when the
Water board pays up the several thousand
dollars which 1t owes the city for elections
held at its instigstion. Even when Teplen-
ished the election fund seems certain TO
run short before the year is over II Is
estimated by the comptroller that With all
the special registrations and revisions that
have been made necessary by bond cleo
tons and the submission of tho commission
form Of government the fund of 5000 set
aside for the years election expenses will
be exceeded by at least $500

Replying VIII say:
First-When the interested parties are not
members of the congregation or church
there is no good reason why they should
not fee a minister for conducting a funeral
service. They, pay the undertaken and
hack driver, why not the minister. who
must give a half day of his time. and fire.
qrently also the time of two OF four sing
ers7 Note that I say service, the sermon
is but a part of the service rendered.
Second-If the aboye said parties should
require a church heated and decorated, as
well as the services ofla busy minister and
choir, $50 might not be excessive, But for
the average funeral service 1t would be ex-
cessive.
Personally, 1 require no fee for a funeral
service, but am frequently compelled not
only to give my time but also to pay my
own expenses, when the people are entire
strangers, and have no claim whatever on
my time or the church. On the other
hand. no true minister would think of ac-
ceptins a fee from any one in financial dis
tress or other great affIiction. So

Organizer Fielder
Says JOurneymen
BARRIERS Are Not Done
Second Sunday Of Restricted Hours
May Bring Developments in Fight
for Sunday Closing.

What the second Sunday II restricted
hours will bring to the journeymen or
master BARRIERS is an open question at this
time, but interesting things may develop.
Depending on Judge Crawford's recent Of
fetal act which practically .nvalidates the
BARRIERS Sunday closing ordinance. some
of the masters will open their shops to-
morrow on the other hand the journeymcu
declare that they are going to put forth
every effort to solidify and validate the
ordinance. In this connection. c. NJ. Fielder.
representative OF the American Federation
of Labor, and special organizer Cor tho
BARRIERS. says:
We are going to continue our fight to
prohibit barborinr on Sunday untl we win.
and win we viii, because the men who are
directly affected are in earnest.
"One of tho leading masters Is making
tho rounds OF the barber shops urging the
BARRIERS To Keep their shops open for the
purpose of carrying on a general barber
business in spite OF the ordinances recently
passed prohibiting It, Ho tells those whom
he calls on that it is no violation OF the
law to give a shave or hair cut gratis.
and that the law can he cvaded by selling
a customer hair tonic and giving away
a shave and that coiored water will pass
for hair tonic
why did we. leave loop hole in our
ordinance? Well 1t was intended that by
permitting shaving and hair cutting with
out pay on sundays that we, the members
of the BARRIERS union. could continue our
charity work in the orphanages and hospi-
tails.
We regret very much that certain per-
sons have seen fit TO take advantage of
that loophole. but we will rectify this in
time. Our local union is gaining in member
ship daily and the boys are more deter
mined than ever to win this fight"

1 have been out of the city and have not

In my congregation all members are en-

even to non-members, but have left the
compensation for services rendered to the
hberality or financial ability. of the par

The preachers who have replied appear
10 be OF the mind that fee should be paid
for the sermon at the funeral service. but
are not willing TO fix and tariff for the
guidance of persons who may want TO die
and be appropriately buried. II is the con
census of the local ministers that the cir
eurnstances should govern. Several of
them relate incidents to illustrate their
points IT.
All agree that burial service for the dead

equally agree that II the friends Of tho

altering him fee. None attempt to FIX
the amount, and some think $50 IL not. ex-

suggests that frequently the wear and tear

least that much.

doctor or a lawyer. likely would ask the 500.
I'm Pennsylvana and the east generally,
all offer pay for funeral services Of min
lAters. Here many expect us to DO all for

pay nothing to uphold churches, should
surely pay for such special service. Some
