priation Adds to Cost.

Specifications for the contracts for re-
moval OF snow from the highways OF the
city during November and December.
are being advertised today by Chief Con-
nell. OF the Highway Bureau Bids will
be opened November 10.
The city is divided into 70 districts for
removal OF snow and contractors are
paid on the work on a yardAge basis
with additional payment for use OF ploWs
and similar equipment.
Failure Of Councils 10 make an appro-
pristion for snow removal in advance OF
tho performance o. the work adds 10 the
annual cost OF this contract, because con-
tractors must finance the operations and
usually wait from four 20 six months
after completion of their contracts for
Councils TO pass appropriations reim-
bursting them. That failure also serves
10 delay the removal OF snow from the
city streets.
Because the amount OF work necessary
for snow removal cannot be Anticipated
the amount ~ the snow removal anDro-
priatlon cannot be def-Itely estimated IN

Chief Connell, Of the Highway Bureau.
has suggested that an appropriation be
made by Councils for snow removal with
the provision that any excess after April

BY such action Councils could reduce

Two nervous turtles went on rampage
today In the rear OF a restaurant near
9th and Market streets, broke a plate
glass window, frightened number Of
persons at breakfast and were finally
separated by policeman, who had to
use his club.
The turtles, each about two feet In
diameter, became restless as the result
Of being tantalized with straws for sew
eral hours, so they started to pick at each
other
They squared off and wrestled around
the sidewalk. The scene of battle shifted
near the window and the combatants
finally got underneath a log of wood
leaning against the wall. They disturbed
the log and it crashed against the
window.
Patrons jumped to escape the flying
glass. Meanwhile James S. Chambers,
stewed snapper epicure, employed
nearby tried to dlsconnect the wrestlers,
but they refused to declare for peace.
Mr.. Chambers then informed a police-
man, who ended the fight with several
vigorous blows. Although the proprietor
had intended to let the turtles live a few
days more, he changed his mind.
SO they both found themselves in the
soup when they agreed to make up, and
the revengeful chef rubbed his hands
gleefully as he peered into the boiling
water and promised young Chambers the
first helping of turtle soup.
