CITY TO CIRCULATE PETITIONS
Suggestion is Made to Do Away with
Chance of Protest.
OFFICIALS FAV0K; THE PLAU
Petitions for Material fer Farias
Gives Too reat at (hsatr t
Make Ratlre Prorrrdlnsi
Void, "ays ftheldea.
To-obviate protests against petitions for
the Improvement of streets within the olty
limits a suggestion that the city circulate
all petitions, designating the character of
material, has been made.
Protests, In the greater number of in
stances, arise as a result of the fight
which contractors make to get their ma
terial named after the ordinances creating
street Improvement districts have been
passed. Two such protests have been filed
within a week. The latest I that of prop
erty owners along North Eighteenth street
from Nicholas to Charles street. The pro
testors state that when the petition was
circulated It was for naming the kind of
material In the event that the street waa
ordered paved. The protestor then declare
that the petition was changed so that It
ordered ths paving of ths street. The
protest will be referred to ths city eounoll
next week.
"If the city would handle the petition
for material to be used much of these pro
tects would be avoided," says Councilman
Sheldon. "Under the charter a majority
of the. property .owners, must sign for the
paving of a street. Then They are given
thirty dsys to name the kind of material,
which must also be done by petition, un
less the character Is named In the original
pitltlon. when It must bear the signatures
of thiee-flfths of the property owners.'
"It is this second petition which affords
opportunities fo- Irregularities. If there are
sny. Now if the city would have Its street
Improvement department canvass the prop
erty owners ss to the kind of material
wanted the situation would be less exciting.
"It would be a very simple matter, too.
An employe of the rlty could go among
the property owners and offer them peti
tions, calling for the various materials
and stating the cost. The owner could
sign the one elected and then there would
be no question as to the signature."
Many Schemes Worked.
"All sort of schemes are worked by
contractor and property owners, them
selves, to raise a question of regularity,'
say Wood Hartley, city abstracter. "This
department Is constantly on the lookout (or
Irregular signature and many, petition are
thrown out because thsy do not conform
to the ordinances.
"Often times a property owner wUl sign
a petition, naming condition under which
the street Is to be paved. Buch a signature
la Immediately scratched out. Others will
sign for property, which la not In the dis
trict at all. Many agent sign for owners,
when they are not authorised.
"8ome do It from Ignorance; others be
cause tbey want a loop bote, which wul
throw the roots on the city.
"We have to be on our guard at all times
Before a petition Is certified the signatures
are thoroughly Investigated. . About the
only comeback Is that of the genuineness of
the signatures and we have no mean of
knowing this."

Property Owners
Ask that Sprague
Street Be Parked
Are Given Little Encouragement by
the Park Board Street
May Be Paved.
A delegation of property owners In the
vicinity of Kpraaue street and the Levi
Carter park, .appeared before the Board of
Park Commissioners Wednesday afternoon
and asked that Sprague street from Thir
ty-first to Levi Carter park he made a
part of the boulevard system.
W. C. Corson, acting as spokesman for
the delegation, contended that the street
should he taken over and the park board
provide for Its Improvement. An ordinance
for the paving of the street Is pending In
the city council at present.
Because of a lack of a quorum, the
park board was unable to transact any
business, but the petitioners were told that
there was little hope for their project.
The street Is forty feet In width and
property owners are unwilling to dedicate
enough land to make the width 130 feet, as
required by the board. The owners were
told to pave the street, snd it would be
used for boulevard purposes, as It would
afford an entrance to the pnrk.
A petition from property owners that
Paratope park, In the Saratoga Court ad
dition, be taken over by the board, was
also received. The petition was filed, to
await the next meeting of the board,
which Is scheduled for April 10.

$150 Piano Puzzle Checks at 75c
Want to buy a nice, flashy, seal bedecked, $150
Piano "Gold Bond." for 7 5c?
Want to buy THREE HUNDRED of them at
26c each?
Well, I can give von tbe names and addresses
of THREE HUNDRED owners of such Gold
Bricks (beg pardon, I meant "Gold Bonds") and I
have the letters right in front of me NOW.
I have also a miscellaneous assortment of 350
letters from persons who are not loath to depart
from Piano "Certificates," "Drafts," and "Checks,"
all of which were "awarded" by philanthropic piano
concerns because certain persons had solved a
'difficult" puzzle.
Think of It! 650 disappointments. EVERY
letter in that pile In front of me represent a dis
appointed and even humiliated person,' for has not
each writer "figured" out some puzzle and sent it
in to capture a "prize"? And did he not get a
prize? Yes. he did NOT!
However, he DID get a beautifully colored, fria
zled edge, dated, stamped, signed and much count
ersigned "Gold Bond," "Check," "Draft." or "Cer
tificate." The piano concern issuing the lot of cer
tificates I bave in front of me now, were particu
larly liberal, for three-fourths of the certificates
were maJe out in amounts of $150 each the bal
ance at $75 each.
But an award that Is duplicated 650 times in
ONE bunch of mail, is NOT an award it's a
"fake." The persons offering to sell 650 certifi
cates, checks, drafts, etc., KNOW by this time that
they HAVE NO REWARD for "solving" Piano Puz
rles else WHY should they offer their precious
"checks," etc., for 75c each?
I never write anything that cannot be proved
and I am going to quote a few extracts from letters
that I ACTUALLY have, (letters may be seen by
interested parties.) In each of the quoted extracts
the names of the concerns and tbe names of tbe
letter writers have been omitted, bnt remember, the
letters are REAL:
"I would like to say that I, bave a check for
$150. Name your price and answer Boon."
"I dropped you a letter yesterday morning, but
I guess you think this is too much to pay for a
check. I'll tell you what I will do. If you will call
tt and Inquire for I will sell
you this $75 check for $2."
"I have a
and a
Piano Check for $149.50
Gold Bond for $75. I
rill sell both of them to you for $1.50."'
"I offer
check having a face
value of $75. I hold the same at tbe insignificant
sum of one dollar." '
"Face value of
check is $146. Will
accept anything that looks like a piece of money,"
"Am anxious to dispose of this check and will
take $1.60 for it. It has a face value of $150."
'I hold a
will sell it for 75c.
Piano check for $75. I
"I hate a check for $75 on and I
will sell It at 75c. P. 8. If you know of anyone else
that wants one, a relative of mine Is willing to dis
pose of one of the same amount for 75c."
"Have a $75 Gold Bond on a piano. What Is It
worth to you In cash? You know best. If you
don't, Just send 50c and that will be all right."
"I have a piano heck for $75.
Call and get it at your own price. Anything goes."
i
And here is one from an inveterate "puzzle
solver." He, hag the habit, you see. He must have
gone against
Piano Contests, for he offers a
each firm. Here is his letter:
and
"Certificate" on
"Enclosed please find a) $150 Piano Certificate
which I got for solving puzzle. I also
have one for $150, which I got awarded to me be
cause I solved puzzle. And If you want
a $75 Gold Bond on you may have the
one I got from them,
you mean business."
Give me $3 for all three If
. "I have a $75 Piano Check on
offer me anything."
Please
While YOU solve the "puzzle" advertised by a
piano house, TEN THOUSAND others have also
solved the puzzle, and the ENTIRE TEN THOU
SAND SOLVERS ALSO GET CERTIFICATES OF
FERING THEM A DISCOUNT OF $150 ON A
PIANO.
"Do YOU think It is a REAL discount?.
Always bear in mind that pianos of KNOWN
value and extreme high reputation, CANNOT be
offered at $150 discounts; for Instance, such
makes as the old "Boston Chlckerlng," "Ivers &
Pond." "Packard." "Kurtzman," or "Henry S. &
