Managers Report

To the Commissioners of the City of
Hays, Kansas.
Gentlemen:
l beg to submit herewith my month
ly report for the month of May.
In my last report to you I recon-
mended the passing of an Ordinance
providing for the cutting off of water
or light service on all unpaid ac-
counts with 20 days after date of is
sue of bill. This you have done and
as evidence of the need of such an
Ordinance I am submitting herewith
list of delinquent light and water
patrons covering an amount of 3d.
315.17. It is my intention to en-
force the Ordinance, as there is not
one patron on this list that is not
able to pay.
1 have personally inspected every
meter in town and find that there
were many overhead meters, SO not
read at all last month, all unmetered
services have been metered.
The overflow has been put on the
tank at the old City Hall; oil tanks
have been moved to the power plant
and excavation is in progress for set
ting the tanks; repair parts have been
received for Demming pumps, road
to the Cemetery has been drained and
graded and complete time card rec
ord established.
Lease has been prepared to cover
public dumping ground and ordin-
ance prepared for floating of funding
bonds.
The work at the power house to
make it safe is in progress and a
spirit of cooperation prevails.
I would recommend that the city
subscribe for the following periodi-
Gals for the benefit of office and pow
er plant employees; Power, Electric
World and Engineering News Record.
would also recommend the pub
fishing of the Clerks statement Of
receipts and disbursements, also pub
lie notice of cutting off of light and
water patrons for non-payment.
Respectfully submitted

City Manager

ALLIED ULTlMATUM
TO GERMANY PROBABLE

LONDON, Jan. 13.-An ultimatur,
may be sent to Germany by the allied
governments to prevent the spread OF
anarchy, the Pail Mall Gazette re-
ported today. This paper understands
that:
1.-THE German situation may be
clarified presently by such action.
Tho allies have no intention of allow
ing anarchy to spread all over Ger
many. The allies are determined that
the Germans shall be in a position t.
determine the type OF government
they desire. The German national
ELECTION shall be guaranteed, since
the allies must treat with a respon-
sible government in dealing with
Germany. 1t is a mistake to assume
that the allies are allowing things to
drift as in Russia A watch is being
kept. Effective action, not necnssa-
rily military, will be taken along the
right lines possibly within a week or
two"

the unification Of our railroads, large
and small. must be guaranteed by
Congress in the final solution Of the
transportation problem, Commission
er Woolley stated.
without such uniform arrange
ment no equitable development Of our
agricultural and mineral resources,
our community life and our small
seaports can be accomplished" said
the Commissioner.
~ submit that in the suggestions
made here and in the learned dis
cussions which have characterized
these hearings only the interests of
the railroads on the one hand ano
of the shippers on the other have
been considered" Commissioners
Woolley said.
1t is time for the Government, in
behalf of all the people. to announce
a policy of its own in equalizins
commercial conditions, and to take
this legislative function definitely
and permanently out of the hands
of the railroads. Woollcy declared.
The freight rate structure of the
United States is "unscientific, illog-
icai and laden with preferences; and
a sufficient time with conditions nor
NAL must be granted for testing a
plan calculated to do exact justice to
the whole people rather than TO the
shipper and the carrier as classes Of
the people"
"I propose to prove" he continued,
that our commercial development
has been dictated by the railroads.
that communities or industries have
developed or failed to develop as the
officials of our great transportation
systeps have decreed. and that the
effect of the rate-making power, at
least go far as absorbing enormous
terminal costs in the line haul rate
is concerned, has been. and is taxa
tion OF small towns without repre-
sentation."

he was not poor he wouldn't be ar
rested. Witnesses may observe a man
put twenty stolen fares in his pocket
on one trip, but they cannot testify
that he did not turn in all the money
he collected at night.
1t is to "get" a few Of these fel-
lows that the Utilities Commission
may order an investigation.
Evidence has been submitted to
utilities officials of conductors who
have lately made large deposits III
banks at frequent intervals.
Another cause of public complaint
to the commission, and also heard on
the streets, is the incivility Of many
have been picked up from other cities
and are here until they have the
spirit to move On somewhere else.
Many Cases OF Insult.
Many cases of incivility and insult
are reported, and in some instances
male passengers have begun threats
of retaliation. One man writes that
he is tempted to take a "blackjack"
along with him and use it when he
comes across a conductor who insults
men and women passengers. The ac-
tion of some of these car men has
brought about somewhat bitter
feeling, and this is responsible to
some extent for the letters concern
ing theft, although the main reason
is that the public is beginning to take
the position that it is being indirectly
robbed. as insufficient revenues for
the roads must be made up by the
public.
The first mass meeting to consid-
or street car conditions is to be ar
ranged for by the Park View Citi-
zens' Association, probably the
strongest association in the city. The
association will hold q rousing meet
ing tomorrow night in the Park View
School to arrange for a mass meet
ing later. Prominent speakers, in
cluding railroad officials, will De in
vited to the meeting.
