pany were assured bymayor Bax-
ter at a conference which repre-
sentatives Of the utility corpora

last Wednesday morning. There
was much verbal sparring, each

act stand Of the other, but with
little success beyond bringing out
the definite statement Of the may
or that citizens would not be salts

/ and the admission of the utility
men that the water plant can be
bought.
President Thomas B. Scott, W.
H.. Winslow, general manager, and
C. R. Fridley, general counsel,
were the representatives OF the
company present for the meeting
with the commissioners, which had
to do with the proposed renewal
of the franchise for the water COM
pany and also the action OF mayor
Baxter in refusing to sign check
for $4,000, the amount of the COM
pany's bill for hydrant rentals
for the last three months. No con-
illusions were reached. on either
subject. ~ :IuLls.s oua II.

courts. President Scott offered to
stipulate that payment should not
be construed as a point against the
city, but the offer was not acted
upon, and the check remains un-
signed.
The discussion brought out diff
ference of opinion as to the basis
upon which the utility purchase
should be made. Mayor Baxter in
sisted that materials should be fig

the inflated values now prevailing,

purchase formed the only fair

SUPERIOR, Wis, July o.
Especial to the Rip-saw)-It now
appears that the Superior police
overlooked a goodly number Of
underworld folk when handing
out invitations to mayor Baxter's
Getting Out-of-Town Party" a
few weeks ago. 1t is stated that
the chief executive Of the city soon
will issue invitations to another
party, even more comprehensive
in it's scope, than the other one.
Any who cannot conveniently
heed the invitation may show wis
dom by getting to Oliver or even
Duluth before the messengers ar
rive with the invitation cards.
Some weeks ago, mayor Baxter
issued facts and figures calculated
to impress a layman with the fact
that Superior's public servants
are entirely too lavish in the use
Of city gasoline. The number of
gallons used within a certain time
made some of the taxpayers hair
stand on end. One man said that
quantity was ample to send the
municipal Joy riders around the
world. -. -. 90.
Mayor Baxter is suspected of
having bug for economy. This
week he offered a resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of w.
d. Kingston, member Of the city
clerks staff, as purchasing agent
for all supplies used in the vari-
GUS departments Of the city.
. According to the provisions of
the resolution as offered by the
mayor, no supplies shall be pur-
chased hereafter without the order
of the purchasing agent and no
bills shall be acted upon without
his approval Of them. Thus the
mayor expects to place response
bility for expenses incurred on
some one individual. This method,
he expects, will materially cut the
expenses resulting from the pres
ent unsystematic practices. The
appointment will carry no addi-
tional salary.
Upon recommendation of Com
missioner Tomlinson the resolution
was laid on the table for one week
to be acted ono by the commits
sion next Tuesday.

into the ballot box.
"In many other cases we saw the
ballots handed to- Mrs. Wilson,

no case were the voters directed
to fold their ballots. It impressed
us with the fact that many Of the
voters felt impelled, if they were
not required, to offer plain evi-
dence that they had voted accord

discharged, it being either sus-
pected or known that they voted
for the peoples progressive ticket
and not for Knight. Those dis
charged were frankly informed
that the action was not due to any
fault in their regular service and
that there would be no trouble as
to references if they needed or de-
sired them in seeking other en-
ployment.
Many citizens are at a loss to un-
derstand how and why such law
less, high-handed methods were
employed in behalf of Mr.. Knight
and even why he felt a call to
stand for the school board.
One reason suggested is that the
Morgan Park company and the
Minnesota Steel company wished
to serve notice on the great city
of Duluth that they proposed to
have their own way out there
without any interference from the
school board or citizens Of the
city.
Another idea advanced is that
these corporations fear for the
welfare of the s'Gary system" and
that they propose to control the
local situation out there in that re-
spect.

1t is reported that Eddie Hatch,
the boy politician of Eveleth, so
deeply appreciates the support
given him four years ago, when
he ran for auditor, that he now
contemplates the plan of sup
porting Halden, the man who
until recently was such "bad"
medicine in his sight.
