INDIGNANT 7
AT C]()AlIj
Protest Against Permitting Ex-Sena-
tor DeLong to Put Frame Struc-
ture on Second Street.
AND IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW
Property Owners i'm That Vicinity
Threaten Recall Upon Mayor
If Action is Permitted.

Declaring that Mayor Todd and
other city commissioners are show
ing favoritism to ex-senator Horace
I. DeLong in direct violation of the
law and ordinances by permitting
him to move his old frame buildings
nom the postofice site to Second and
Ute. within the fire limits, Indignant
citizens are today threatening to get
out petition for the recall of the
municipal executive.
Richard Dowrey and Henry Kippe.
two interested property owners in
that vicinity, called upon the mayor
today and demanded to know by what
right he was permitting Mr.. DeLong
to have privileges denied everyone
else and to do thing which is pro-
hibited by the building ordinances.
They claim that they had been en-
deavoring, in common with other
property owners in that section of
the city, to make Second street one
of the most beautiful in the city be-
cause it is the gateway to Grand
Junctiop and to permit old shacks
to be bu at Second and Ute would
spoil all their efforts at improving
the street.
Mayor Todd declined to give the
property owners any satisfaction,
saying that the commissioners had
agreed to permit the buildings to be
moved to Second and Ute. While
personally he did not believe it to
be good thing, he said they had
given their promise TO Mr.. DeLong
and could not withdraw it now.
Mr.. kippe also called upon Attor-
ney Tupper and demanded to know
how he could advise the commission
ers to permit the violation of the city
ordinances. Mr.. Tupper. however,
declared that the commissioners had
acted without calling upon him for
advice.
a meeting of interested property
owners will be held soon, and, unless
the mayor rescinds his action, it is
declared that they will attempt to
secure signatures to petition for his
recall They are greatly worked up
over the matter, and point to the
fact that, since the adoption of the
ordinance fixing the fire limits, the
commissioners have repeatedly re-
fused to grant permits for the cree
tion of frame buildings on Second
street.

PAY HEED
TOGRAND
JURY NOW
County Commissioners Have Aban-
doned Dual Capacity System Crit
icised in Recent Report.
THEY EXECUTE RIGHT ABOUT
First Decided to Ignore Recommended
tions of Grand Jury, but Change
Minds When Threatened Suit

After practically refusing to pay
any attention to the recommended
tions of the grand jury, which de-
clared the practice of the county
commissioners in also acting as road
overseers to be illegal, the board has
finally bowed before the strong pres
sure OF public opinion anu abandoned
the pernicious system by which they
were enabled to draw sums from the
county treasury far in excess of the
$500 allowed by law.
1t leaked out today that the repub-
lican majority in the county board
held a secret meeting just before the
close of the last session and decided
TO follow the recommendations of the
grand jury. This was in the face of
their long drawn out and complicated
explanation in which they sought to
show that the grand jury was in the
wrong and that they were in the
right. They contended then that. be-
cause this was third-class county,
instead Of = eecond-class county as
1t il entitled to be by reason OF pop

= s4krn. - they had been doing.
and were f6reed to supervise the
roads and bridges of the county and
draw pay for that work in addition
to the money they received for other
services.
What brought about this sudden
about face" is not known, as Messrs.
Dwyer and Thompson had repeatedly
stated that they would pay no atten-
tion to the recommendations of the
grand jury or to the suggestions of
The Sentirel. They probably found
out, however, that there was an over
whelming sentiment in favor of the
position tai EN- by The Sentinel, and
that, unless they stopped the prac-
tice, other proceedings might be
brought against them. 1t is known
that some of the most prominent re-
publicans in the county called upon
the district attorney, urging him to
bring suit to prevent furthersinroads
upon the county treasury and TO re-
cover back sums already paid, and the
commissioners may have received
wind of this action.
At any rate, during the months of
April, the commissioners did not act
as road overseers, and will present no
bills for that work at the May meet
ing next Monday.
While no formal action was taken
in the meetings of the board. the
commissioners nave agreed that tne
grand jury was right in its conten-
tions and will obey the law in that
respect in the future, not acting in
a dual capacity of commissioner and
overseer.
1t is not thought, however, that
any effort will be made to organize
the county into road districts, as was
also recommended by the grand jury.

SECRETARY TO
Be CHOSEN

A successor for Fred G. Shat
fer, who left today for his new
home in Denver, will probably
be chosen this week at a Joint
meeting of the city council and di-
rectors of the Chamber of Commerce.
The list of applications on file with
the commissioners include several To-
cal men as well as a few outsiders.
and this list will be canvassed to Sc
cure the best man for the place.
Mr. Shaffer's removal from the city
leaves the city without an executive
head who can spend his entire time
in the interests of public enterprise.
The proposed celebration and other
movements now on foot will suffer
from the lack of man of Mr. Shat
fer's qualifications.
The meeting may be DELAYED until
