SALARYDlJEFOR

C. D. Pringle. former assistant clerk
in circuit court. appointed by Judge
sT. b. Stuart, has written to the
supervisors aclling their attention
to the fact that he has not re-

tending from September z, 1914. to
March %. 1916.
Pringle states that his pay for this

gle has, so he states. begun institution
OF proceedings before the supreme

VOICE BITTER
OPPOSITION TO
FRONTAGE Plan
Three Score Residents of LuSi.
tana District TEL GrieV-
ances to Supervisors

Three score men, residents of the
district of Lusitana, gathered last
night at the meeting of the supervis-
ors to voice their protest against the
Lusitana Improvement project which
the city Is about to carry out ON the
frontage tax basis. 1t was a public
hearing OF the Lusitana scheme. and
the hearing was loud and long. 1t was
SO loud that more than one pedestrian
on Fort street gazed upward as he
passed the city hall to wonder what
the noise was, and II was so long that
1t had to be postponed until Friday
night.
Summed up, the twe-hour argument
advanced by the Lusitana delegation.
most of whom are Portuguese resi-
dents, is this: Lusitana street resi-
dents have paid taxes for 20 years, and
for Is years no work whatever has
been done upon the street. A former
ly good street has been torn up by the
constant moving of water and sewer
pipes. Lusitana people want good
streets. but they believe the city, or
the territory, or someone who has
been getting taxes from them for more
than a score of years should pay for
the improvement. Lusitana people OBJ
ject to paying SO foot for the work.
j. r. Durao and A. v. Peters, two
of the delegation. WED with each other
In enthusiasm and oratory. For the
major part of the time both speakers
were upon the floor together. voicing
the complaints Of their neighbers.
Fifteen years ago the street was
fixed," cried Durao, there has been
nothing done to 1t since. save to have
1t torn up and torn up by the water
works.
mo Work, Homes .Mortgaged.y
Every year, we have paid our
taxes. Our homes are mortgaged.
Our people in many cases have no
work. You will force us to sell out
our homes IL you persist In this crime.
Go to some rich district and do the
work. You will force MS to ell our
homes IL you persist in this crime. Go
to some rich district and do the work,
but do not take the bread from our
mouths and the mouths of our chill

Trembling with emotion, Durao sat
down, and Peters rose 10 continue the
argument. Il think it is an outrage"

Finally the mayor declared re-

again, Supervisor. Arnold moved that
