FAvoRs MARTIN FRANCHISE.
L. GrInnen says Competition To
Furnish Gas u Needed.

I. l.. Grinnell has sent communica-
.tion to the common council, urging
that consideration be given to the APP
pIication OF Joseph Martin for fran
chise to supply natural gas to the
city.
Mr.. Grinnell says there is great
need fer competition, and points nut
several alleged abuses by the present
gas company. Among these is the
form of the notice sent to consumers
whose bills become mislaid and go
unpaid. He describes this notice as
iHsHlting and annoying. The form OF
guaranty fixed for those who go surety
tor gas consumers, he says. Is hard to
explain on the basis OF honest inten-
lions, as II allows no appeal to the
courts, and allows the company to
shut on the guarantor,s gas IL he
does not pay promptly.
Mr. Grfnnefi takes occasion to conn
lpliment the council on accepting the

oAKMAN AFTER DEBT DODGERS.
Dcxises Plan For Making County
Building Employees Settle.

A new plan for forcing the county
employees to pay their debts has been
devised by County Auditor Milton
Oakman. In the last legislature he
attempted to have bill passed max
ing county officials liable to garnish-
=meHt- but twas defeated. according
to Mr.. Oakman, he has each employee
who is In debt, deposit certain
amount Of his wages twice a month
with him and this is paid to the per-
son holding the account. So far, the
plan has worked splendidly, Mr.. Oak
man says.
Sometime ago, the wife of one OF
the employees in the county building
reported to Mr.. Oakman that her hus-
band spent all OF his money each
pay day for drink. Now, Mr. Oakman
has the employe come to his Office
each pay day, indorse the check and
give IL 10 his wife. The wife then
gives him IS every two weeks for
spending money.
