Shipp'rs say this arbitrary procedure - ceduro takes the control of their product from their hands.

The agents of lute shippers , Moulton & Green , were notified that the railroad would receive the shipment with the routing clause intact upon the payment of a commercial - mercial rate of $2.60 per 100 pounds , as against $1.25 per 100 pollds , or 00 Betts a box , the rate that heretofore prevalietl.

FUNDS FOR FIGHTING FIRE Chlcf of the Trpartntent .tsla for Bore Llherallly Iruhl the Coahcll. Chief John Redell and Assistant Chief Salter , entreated with the city's fire protection - tion , will flake 0l earnest effort to secure from the council a suinclent levy to check the decay lnto which the department Is fall- ing. Tile chief points out that no repairs have been made for four years , and , lvith the exception of 3,000 feet of hose bought during last year no material has been pur- chased. Of the fifty horses belonging to the department fifteen are superannuated and unfit for service. The antiquated truck of No. 1 engine house still laboriously responds to alarms , although it has been condemned by the commission- ers. The chief explains that a truck should ho the first piece of apparatus at a fire for use in getting into a building and to the seat of the blaze. If the condenineti truck is not used the only equipments of the sort arc those at Eleventh and Ilorcas streets and Twenty-fourth and Coining streets. Even with three trucks in service the apparatus Is wholly inadequate , as the heavy truck cannot be used for long runs. The truck at Eleventh and Dorcas streets , therefore , is obliged to cover territory as far west as ifty-fourth street. This condition could be remedied by the lnstalinlent of a truck at Twenty-seventh aid Jones streets , Thr building at that point is scarcely capable of containing any further apparatus , however - ever , as It is already overcrowded. The structure was originally tine barn of W , A. Paxton , acquired when the city hall site was purchased al Eighteenth and Farnam streets , It is not plastered and Is rapidly falling to pieces. The chief will advocate the locatlon of no- other engdio house in the neighborhood of Twenty-fourth and Lake streets. lie points out that at present the couhpany at Twenty- fnurtt and Coming streets is obliged to cover tire large stretch of territory as far as Thirtieth 011th Spauldiug streets. The south part of the city has better protection , as there arc no such intervening gaps between the fire stations. There Is a large amount of out-of-date equipment which must he replaced within the year. At No. 2 Enghhe company's house the ancient two-wheel jumper is still used for the cartage of hose , a relic of antiquity which the chief asserts could not be dupll- cated ht the coutttry. The hcs0 also will require - quire alteutio11 , as nothing is so fatal to the efforts of tlrenien as a rupture nl a critical - ical moment. Its weakness has been danton- sdutetl at every recent tire of importance. Al the Allen Bros' blaze the are gained its chief headway w Ililo lbo firemen wore replacing - placing broken lengths of hose To ntako these renewals aai repairs the chief will ask for to a maximum allowed hv , this charter-$12.,000.
