CITY TROUBLES
Motives Underlying Recall of
Rapid City's Commits
sion

Rapid City, Feb. Petitions have
been filed with Auditor Howell Matthias
asking that a special election be called
to elect successors to the entire board
of city commissioners, including Mayor
Fred II. Rugg, a presidential elector
on the bull moose ticket, who was
elected to office three months ago to
I'll the vacancy made by the resigna-
ton of DR.. r. J. Jackson, who has
since gore to Panama.
The petition is signed by 1876 voters
aud it's preamble alleges that all of the
CON missioners have been guilty of
negligence Of their duties and have
expended large sums of money in a
reckless manner, and that the city is
deriving no benefit from the money
paid out. That in all details the
affairs of the city have been conduct
90 in an unbusinesslike way.
The filing Of the petition Is the
climax of a long period of murmuriug
which had it's inception in the delay on
the part of Thomas Hale, commissioner
of streets and alleys, to provide a side
walk for residents in North Rapid, a
suburb of the city and taxed with it.
Then came the extension of the
water system under the supervision of
Commissioner James Brennan and City
Engineer Hartgering. Bonds to the
amount of $50. 600 we're issued to pay
for this needed improvement. The
money was expended in laying four or
five miles of conduit and then it was
discovered that there was no water
where it was proposed to build a res
ervoir.
The straw that troke the camel's
back, however came in the grading
aud draining of the streets. This was
done by means of a special assessment
and already more than 81. 900 has
been assessed against property owners
1t is now discovered that the city en-
gineer has made many erIors in his
computations and Attorney w. W.
Soule has been retained to investigate
The matter and fight any suit brought
by contractors. who may attempt to
collect for work performed, which il
is alleged Is not done according to
specifications.
An 1ther cause which led to the lib
eral signing Of the petitions was the
ri ldiLg Of the city of disreputable
hnuses recently. The resorts had earl
Ter in the year. 1912, been segregated
on 'Couey Islsnd," a mile east Of
the city, and had been running under
tolerance on payment of $500 per month
into the city treasury. This amount
paid the ex oense of The police depart
ment and part of the running of the
fire department.. TO the inmates of
the resorts merchants, iiverymen and
jewellers were in the habit of making
large sales. This was cut off at Christ
mas and keenly felt by dealers.
