From Tuesdays Daily. g
Mayor Taylor today received a
copy of the circular issued by Arthur
Schaub at Superior in which some
outrageous and uncaIed for state.
ments regarding the commission
form of government in Mankato
were made. Many of the statements
are absurd and ridiculous. Schaub
attempted to show that this mu.
nicipality is on the verge of bank.
ruptcy; that it's affairs have been
mismanaged; that the public utilities
companies have been unduIy favor.
ed; that clique has control of the
affairs of the city; that the outlying
districts have not been given con-
sideraton by the council, not to
mention a job-Iot of other baseless
claims. The commissioners should
answer the statements made by
Schaub.

it would be impossible to use the
city hall or repair the old Jail for
a lookup, but made the suggestion
that the city engineer call in person
and talk the matter over with the
officials. The matter was referred
to Councilman Bangerter and City
Engineer Blomquist Mr. Blomquist

some time when business called
him to the twin cities.
The Plumbers Ordinance.
The plumbers ordinance was then
read for the second time. This Or

are being made, and that the city

the giving of bond. The license
was reduced from $40 to SIS and it
was decided to make a minimum
pro rata charge of $3.50 for IL
cense, for term less than one year
or until May 1912. This ordinance
was passed as read.
Seeking Some Relief.
Glenn Allyn appeared before the
council and requested that the city
council reduce the amount of his
personal property tax. He said the
assessments on his personal prop.
erty was $1,625, when in reality it
should have been $1,000. He said
that he had received notice some
time ago to appear at the hearing,
but was at that time out of the
city and had overlooked the matter
afterwards. He was instructed to
see the city assessor as nothing
cOuld be done at this meeting.

PRESENTED AUTOMOBILE.

In honor of the twenty-ninth an
niversary of his ordination to the
priesthood and the eleventh ami
versary of the institution of the
printer and night workers mass,
some friends surprised Father Evers,
of st. Andrews church, New York
City, by presenting him with an
automobile and a promise to pay all
expense for maintenance of it. The
one who made the presentation re-
marked there was nothing too good
for the priest who had gotten up
every Sunday morning for eleven
years to say mass at $3.50 and hear
the confessions of the printers and
night workers, and who spends four
hours every day as chaplain to the
prisoners in the Tombs
prison. Father Evers' name is
known throughout the whole country
on account of his great work.
