WOODMEN AUDITORS
AT WORK ON BOOKS
VIII Prepare to Make Triennial Re
port at Head Camp-State
Experts Nearly Through.

The Woodmen board of auditors,
seven in number, commenced today
the work of checking up the books
and accounts of the head clerk and
the head banker, preparatory to
making their triennial report at the
head camp meeting which is to be
held at Buffalo in June. With two
different sets of auditors at work on
the books at the same time. it seems
that the accounts ought to receive
a pretty thorough investigation. The
six insurance experts, four from this
state and two from Virginia who
are auditing the society's business
at it's own request, are getting near
the close of their work and they ex-
pect to be able to make a report in
less than a month.

OWNERS STIRRED
BY BAR PETITION
Property Holders at Sixth Ave
nue. and First Street Hold
Indignation Meeting.
WITH MAYOR PRESIDING
Latter Has ReOpened Kruger Case
After Council Authorizes Is
suance of License.

The meeting held at the city hall
| last night in response to the objections
against the issuance of a license to
operate a saloon on the corner of Sixth
avenue and Second street, as asked for
in the petition of C. w Kruger, was
attended by practically all of the in
terested property owners. After sew
eral hours had been spent in thrashing
out the matter, Mayor G. w McCas-
krin announced that he would take the
matter under Amusement. AS the
granting of the petition has already
been authorized by the council, it is
not it shall be given.
TOO LITTLE FRONTAGE.
Following the Withdrawing of their
names from the petition by a number
OF the property owners, il was learned
that the petitioner, c. w. Kruger,
who desires TO run the business in q
building owned by Alderman John
Holzhammer, has not sufficient front
age consenting to the location of the
saloon. When the petition was first
enough names were secured,
but before the document was properly
filed with the city clerk, a number of
those who had signed, withdrew their
names by signing counter petition
to the saloon. This coun-
ter petition was filed with the city
clerk before the other one, but aDpar-
emily the committee on markets and Ii
censes did not know of il when it rec
commended to the council that the de- |
sired permit be issued. AT present !
there are but two who favor the grant |
ing of the license, Alderman Holz- !
hammer and Oscar Apple, who own |
one solid block between First and sec |
ond streets. The owners along the /
opposite side and those in the block |
TO the east are solid against the sa-
loon.
COUNT THE STREETS.
Since the withdrawal of the names 1
from the petition, Kruger has but $50 1
feet OF frontage and this counts 24O /
feet of streets, which being unable to /
sign against under the law, are includ- /
I'd with the assenters. The obtecting /
owners can muster 20 feet, |
which is a majority of the frontage.
Kruger maintains that the signers
had no right TO withdraw from his Ne
dtion after having affixed their sigma
lures thereto. Attorney John ]. In
gram represented the Directing proper
y owners at the meeting and John
Looney appeared for Kruger.
