Company Refuses TO Pay AS

Operation

he without a street car line as a result
of the st. Adams and Swanton Trac-
ton Company's refusal to pay certain
assessments which the city claims are
legal debts. and the expression of the
city council at meeting November 3
that the collection of the account
should be pressed.
In the event of the city proceeding
along the lines laid down there Is a
feeling among certain business men that
the street railway company will sus-
pend operation Because of the APP
preaching holidays a delegation of
business men has visited Mayor II. NJ.
brennan and requested him to hold up
action against the company at this
time. Consequently Mayor brennan has
called a special meeting of the city
council for this evening at eight
o clock at which time the difficulties
be re-opened. A delegation of business
men will be present.
The trouble between the company
and the city Is financial Mayor Dren-
nan explained this morning that 1t is
provided that the company must bear
it's proportion of the expense for street
work. being held for half the expense
of construction between its tracks
and two feet on each side. The mayor
says that the company is behind in it's
payments for a round sum of $4,000
1t Is to force the collection of this
money that the city attorney has been
instructed to begin action.
AS the case would not be returnable
until the March term of the Franklin
county court. the traction system would
be tied up completely unless the com
pany furnished the bond and the fear
that the company would welcome the
opportunity to suspend operations and
therefore would not file the bond is

Florence, who shot Arthur Dudley of
Massachusetts, a boarder at his house
with a rifle November 10 as a result

mality of a discharge. His leaving
was hardly an escape. He had COM

Deputy sheriffs were searching for
Salas Thursday although he had fin
ished his sentence, for the reason that
he failed to make a so-called pauper's
oath showing that he was unable tc
pay the costs in his case. He had
served thirty days because of his ina
bility to pay the costs in addition tc
the sixty days for which the court sent
him to Jail, and nothing remained for
him to complete his record except
signing the oath. He was to have been
taken before the commission the next
morning for that.
Salas was permitted to go into the
Jail yard on his last night there be-
cause it was his last night. He placed
