LAWSON SCORES
ESTIMATORS FOR
FAILURE TO ACT
Says He Has Already Passed On
Legality of Bond Issue for
Incinerating Plant
EXCUSE is SUBTERFUGE,
SAYS TOWN LAWYER
Declares Real Reason for Delay
is That Board is Opposed
to Project

"The action Of the board OF estl-
mates In adjourning, wednesday
night, without deciding for or against
the bond Issue OF 100000 for an IN
cinerating plant shows that the board
is against the project" said Corpora
ton Counsel Lawson, Thursday.
The reason assigned by the board,
that II was In doubt about It's legal
right to appropriate sum previously
refused, was a mere subterfuge. Some
one on the board is opposed to the
'ncinerating plant and his idea pre-
vailed. They had to have some ex-
cuse for postponing action so they
raised the question as to the legality
of the proposition and blamed this
Office because 1t wasn't ready with
an opinion. Incidentally, the adjourn
ment costs the taxpayers an extra
$3.50 for another meeting.
Il looked up the law when the sub.
ject was first broached and found
that the board OF estimates can ap-
propriate 100000 for an incerating
plant. | gave that opinion to the
aldermen and drafted the resolution
calling the board in special session.
That fact alone should have been
sufficient indication as TO my opinion
on the matter. 1t makes no differ-
ence to this ONCE whether the esti-
mators appropriate money for an In
cinerating plat. They have that
power to do So IL they wish. n
they don't they should not excuse
themselves by saying that this office
mas failed in It's duty"
A charter amendment will be draft
eG when the charter is revised abol-
ishing the board OF estimates. The
action of the board, Wednesday night.
IL taken by some city officials as in
dication that it does not follow the
course OF civic affairs closely enough
TO know the needs of the city. Mr..
Lawson said that In his judgment a
non-partisan board OF three members,
working the year around could accom-,
plish more than the board OF esti-
mates, called together for only few
weeks annually to pass ,on appropria.
tions for requirements concerning
which they are not sufficientIy inform.
ed. He suggested that the board be
composed OF the city treasurer, the
city controller, and the mayor, who
are interested in protecting the citys
finances and yet do not have such
large appropriations for their own de
partments as to interfere with theil
serving In such capacity.

a solo that added much to the serv-

the singing.
The subject of the sermon was,

Take Insurance Out Of Politics.

Take Insurance Out Of Politics.
Insurance Commissioner Taylor has
received c.. nmunications from sever.
al insurance companies and from in.
surance commissioners Of several
states suggesting that the depart
ment of insurance should be regulat-
ed by the federal government. The
question is being agitated quite gen
orally over the United States. Under
the present system it is contended,
that there is a great deal OF trouble
in the insurance world, due to the
fact that the laws of nc two states are
alike. This requires different forms
OF policies for each state. n the
closest watching of details in the bus
mess by reason thereof. The chang
ing of insurance commissioners SO Of
ten keeps both the department and
the insurance companies on edge all
the time. as it is a very delicate posi-
ton to handle by inexperienced par
ties. While the government would
have no power to take the matter
over. yet a government departmer'
could be established and the state
turn it's insurance affairs over to that
department. 1t is thought that in
time this change will occur, in many
states, at least.
