rest of Clarence Beamon, charged
with resisting an officer, which re-
suited in the arrest of a half score
or SO of other citizens because of
their neglect of the call of Officer
Chopp in his appeal for assistance
in making the arrest, were formally
dismissed by Judge Carey in mu-
nicipal court on Friday last.
This was the case referred to in
our issue of three weeks ago in
which it was stated the officer got
hold of mat artist, and was un-
able to land his man until another
officer came to his assistance. The
hearing of the cases against the men
attracted much attention, and the
formal dismissal of all charges
against them meets with general ap-

PERHAPS WE'RE AFFECT.
ED WITH BONEHEAD

In glancing over the recent report
submitted 10y the special committee
of the city council on the light and
water proposition, which has since
been mailed to every voter in the
city at public expense, one of the
seeming incongruities is found in the
statement that the committee dis
allowed the Burns & Mcdonnell re-
port estimate OF $24,437 for the TAX
ing up and replacing of pavement
over the mains as an expense to
which the company had not been put
because of the fact that the mains
had been installed before the paving
was laid, and then, in the very next
paragraph the committee adds the
sum of $18,762 las a result of Mr..
Pillsbury's investigation of values of
material and labor cost at this date
as compared with the date of the
Burns & Mcdonnell report"
Perhaps some member of the CON-
mittee may be able to explain why
the company should be allowed 5
per cent On additional labor and ma
terial cost for the installation of a
plant which was installed months
before the committe report was
thought of; and in the Installation OF
which they were not called upon to
pay the additional monies with which
they are credited, any more than the
company might be entitled to col
lect or make legitimate charge of
the $24,437 for laying their mains
under the pavement for mains which
were laid months and years before
the pavement was laid.
We are not denying the ability OF
any member of the special commit.
tee to make full and complete ex-
PLANTATION of the manner in which
they arrived at the conclusion that
the company was entitled to one
charge more than to another, but in
our younger days We spent day or
two at Marblehead, Mass, and per.
haps we became affected with the
name so badly that we have not yet
fully recovered, so badly in fact tina,
we are unable to see the legitimacy
Of making the company a present OF
$18,762 any more than we can see
the legitimacy in giving them the
$24,437 to which the Burns G. Nc.
Donnell report seemingly deemed
them entitled.
