CITY AND COUNTY.
They DO Not work Happily Together
on Bridge Question.

When the city and county work to-
gether, they do not work arm in arm,
but regard each other with a trace Of
suspicion. When it was agreed that
each should bear half the expense of
the construction of the Fifteenth
street bridge, troubles seemed at an
end. but weren't. Having wrangled
for q day over the letting of the bid,
the county commissioners adjourned,
instructing tho city and county en-
gineers to got together" compare
notes. and submit individual plans
for the cost of the span. These plans
differ by almost $4,000.
City Engineer A. r. Young, accord
ing. to figures in possession OF the
county commissioners this morning,
estimates that the bridge should cost
$14,424.30. County Engineer W.. J.
ton at $1O.657. Both these sums are
based on the plans Of the Topeka
Bridge company. Luten Design No. 2,

Bridge company, who may be award
ed the contract II a compromise can
be reached, have submitted an esti-
mate Of $15,500.
J. C. Sinner. chairman of the coun-
ty board, took the telephone this
morning. He called City Commits
sioner Tandy's office, and declared:
I'VE want q city representative here.
We hear the city IL not willing to pay
its half Of tho expense Of this bridge .
Mr.. Tandy responded that he and
the engineer would arrive to witness
the letting OF the bid. and waved
away all hint of trouble.
The engineers, instead Of compiling
their estimates together, worked out
separate plans. Before the letting Of
the bid In taken under consideration,
both sets OF plans will be compared as

FIDO'S FRIENDS.
They Have Organized to Stop Triple
Taxation.

The Kansas Dog Protective associa-
ton meets in regular meeting at the
Throop hotel, on this Monday even
ing. March 16. at 8 o'clock sharp. All
owners and friends Of our domestic
dogs and those who oppose triple tax
alton for our firmest friend. are
urged to be present and enroll them
selves as members. Those who can
not be present, but who are in SYM
pathy with our organization, are
asked to send in their names and adj

ISOLATION in it's vigorous legal action
against the unjust new triple tax laws.
p. H. COMFY, President
A. ]. BOLINGER. Secretary.
Declaration and Resolutions.
That it is the desire of this meet
ing. and the thousands of dog owners,
as well as others who love this, mans
ever faithful and true friend, the
dog; that in the matter of taxation
direct, indirect and special, of dogs
and the penalty attaching for delin-
Quency in this tax, is both unjust and
inhuman. Unjust because of the dis
elimination against personal property,
as fully recognized under the law.
The construction of this law appears
in the instructions to assessors. Every
right guaranteed by both the Consti-
tuition of the United States and state
Is VlOldteu IN tHiS aTDltraTy enact
ment.
And, that while we are respecters Of
the law, we most emphatically pro-
test against any special legislation as
against this ''our friend" either by
city, county or township.
And further be 1t resolved, that in
respect to this wanton disregard Of
constitutional rights and fragrant
usurpation of powers to raise funds to
meet a budget" which the limit Of
legal taxation failed to accomplish. is
unjust, un-American. and contrary to
the spirit Of our institutions.
That in view OF the enactment Of
these measures. we as citizens and
taxpayers, feel it to be our duty to
appeal to the court for hearing upon
the merits Of this question, and fur
Their, that the COMMITTEES, under adj
vice. proceed to make up this case
and get q hearing.

POLICE COURT NEWS.

That the prisoners at the city Jail are
getting the best possible meals. for IL
cents. is the opinion OF several police
officers and others who have investt-
gated the food thoroughly. The city
only pays the contractor IL cents a meal
for the food, and of late the prisoners
have objected to the quality. For that
amount, the manager of the cafe fur
nishing the meals. must pay for the
food pay two or three cooks. and many
other expenses have to be met. Be-
sides it in only natural that slight
profit should be made on the food. and
yet the prisoners complain. The meals
furnished the prisoners are clean, well
cooked and Of the best quality pos
sible for the price. If the city expects
to have the prisoners furnished with
several course dinners, they should pay
a little more money. While the pris-
oners Of the city bastile are not treat
ed to banquets. the food is not as bad
as it has sometimes been painted.
