RAILROADS ASK RAISE.

The result of the increase TO train
men is now seen in the appeal OF the
railroads to the Inter State Commerce
Commission for an increase OF 10 per
cent In their freight rates. The roads
are making a very plausible showing
and the opinion seems to be that they
will be granted some increase but the
amount is a question to De determined.
The addition in expenses made by
the grant to the trainmen amounts TO
$50. OOO.O per year. The railroads
cannot stand the strain unless some
relief is given them and there seems
to be general feeling that they should
be allowed to make some increase.
Thus the claim that was made by
the public when the increase was
asked is coming to pass; |. e. that the
public and not the railroads would
have to pay the price OF this increase

To boost the town is a laudable en-
terprise, but the spirit back OF your

WOOD sHUNTED OUT OF THE WAY
General Leonard Wood has been re-
moved from his command OF the east
ern district with headquarters at New
York and sent TO Charleston by an
order OF pres. Wilson issued through
the war department. The published
report Is to the effect that Gen. Wood
was promoted but his promotion Is
akin TO that which would result should
Postmaster Kelly be sent to Amasa TO
take charge of that Office in place OF
the Crystal Falls office.
Gen. Wood is acknowledged TO be
the best head in the army at the pres
ent time and his removal to a more
obscure position can only be explained
as the result OF HIS differing with the
president upon the character OF the
national defense that should be put
up and his well known friendship for
Teddy Roosevelt. Wood believes In a
vigorous prosecution OF the defense
movement and has differed with the
war department and the democrat
small army men who controlled the
committees right along.

 After. the list of estimates had been read Mayor Brown suggested. that Street Commissioner George F.

Street onnn1issioner Fellows Explains ], Street Commissioner Fellows said that he had figured in 25 per cent. in crease for wages. How much of the increase in the estimate is for labor. asked the, mayor. A large part, of 1t, answered MT. Fellows. e'.
 In regard to the cost of collecting garbage and ashes, Mir. Fellows said it takes nine men at s2.50 a day for SIS days year, making a total of sf.e42.oo, and that. the team hire would amount to $6,5 T2. With regard to the increase in the estimate for sewers and catch basins, he said he had added 20 per cent. for labor increase. He said he added $500 to the estimate for macadann repairs because he knew what labor is costing at the present time. The increase in the; estimate for eiling and sprindiing he attributed to high prices, as he said that the depa rtment has to pay z1-o cents more a gallon for oil than formerly. : Henry Gebrath inquires.
 Henry Gebrath said that he didn't quite understand the item for gar bage and ashes. If this item was 10: be taken out of the ordinary repairs and expenses and made a separate ac = count, he. said he would like to know why S4,0o0 more was asked for ordi- nary repairs and expenses He said

Attornex Joseph T. Tanning in the city meeting on Friday evening moved that the figures in the estimates relat- ing to salaries for the finance depart ment be increased from $4.3eo to s5;- >2Oos the extra s90o to be used for. the purpose of maintaining the salary of the city treasureS. Charles s. Avery, at s1,5G0. A short time ago the court. of common council cut the treasurers salary from Sl,50o to- $500 and aIr. Trainings motion which was, over eln1ingiyt carried, is an. effort to maintain the salary at the original figure before, the reduction.
 Mayor Brown ruled Air. Fanning's motion out of order, that Is the part whirh stipulated that the increases in the estimate be used to- increase -sSfr. Avery salary. The mayor entertain ed the motion as increasing the ap- propriation from s4,3o0 to s5.20o and such was the, motion overwhelmingly carried bys-3 the meeting Mayor Brown rules that the court of com mon council has the authority to fix the city treasurers salary and that it does not come within the scope of a city meeting. On the other hand At torney Tanning is of the opinion that the regulation of the city .treasurer.s salary does come within the scope of "a city I1eeting.
 Mayor Brown based his ruling on the provisions of the city charter but Mir. Tanning said he could find no language in the city charter which gives to the council the power to regulating the treasurer's salary regardless of the ac- ton of the voters convened in city meeting.
 Several Changes Made.
 With several changes including three reductions and two increases the esti- mates were voted as they stood. The item of $36, ,o0e. for ordinary repairs and expenses in theidepartment of pulp lie works was cut down to s32,000, the appropriation made last year. The eight thousand dollar estimate for ma cadam- repairs was cut down to s6.- 900 and two thousand dollars was chopped from the estimate for oiling and sprinkling making this figure $6. 600 To take care of the advance in -laborers' wages the estimate of s66o Broad street sewer was increased to l$S60. The estimate of $4,So8 for sal aries for the finance department was increased to $500. t'-
 The three special appropriations ask ed for were voted. They are S10, 900 for North Main street improvement, $500 for the Fairgrounds and $500 for the Home Garden movement, this lat ter appropriation to be expended un- der the direction of the New London County Improvement League.

 Woolens are mighty scarce, and there's more than the us- aul incentive to some rnakers to mix cotton with it; so there are a good many ''nearly wool" suits about.
