The question of voting $22,000 city
hall bonds wiii come up for dettlemcnt
at tho special election October 4th. If
tho bonds are carried It will require, nt
the present valuation, tho levy of a tax
of one and one-half mills to pay the in
terest on Uo bonds. . This would mean
to tho taxpayer whoso property Is valued
at $1000 and assessed at one-fifth, or
$200, an additional tax of thirty cpnts,
and an additional thirty cents for oach
additional $1000 valuation, On a ten
thousand dollar valutlon it would
amount to three dollars additional tax
per year. Not a very large sup of
money to pay for a building in. which to
house the fire department and to pro
vide offices and vaults for the use of
the city where the records of the city
can bo kept and preserved. The great
er efficiency of tho fire department
mado possible by such a building would
bo cheap at that cost.
A new city hall building such as can
bo provided with the proceeds of $22,000
would provldo a homo for tho fire de
partment somewhat In keeping with
tho valuo of the services rendered by
the department
Tho members of tho fire department
aro entitled to a great deal more credit
than they have received for the services
rendered under the adverse conditions
under which they havo been laboring.
By erecting a Btcam heated building
and providing a suite of rooms for one
paid man to drive tho city team, a
dormitory for five or six volunteer fire
mon, with bath and toilet and club room
for the use of all the firemen, where
they could havo their social and busi
ness meetings, tho tax payers would
not only bo tretlngtho fire depart
ment fairly but would secure good div
idends on tho investment by the greater
efficiency of the fire department.

The Brooks locomotive works ntDun-
kirk, N. Y., have been closed for nn
indefinite period, all tho engines ord
ered having been completed. The New
York Central lines wanted send to 150
engines to tho works for repairs but the
company was compelled to decline the
order on account of the boilermakcrs
refusing to do the work because the
bollermakers of the New York Central
lines aro on a strike.
After a ten days' strike the men em
ployed by tho Missouri Pacific in the
shons of tho new terminal plant at
Falls City went back to work Monday.
Little information from the inBido was
given out about tho strike, although re
sults are shown in the fact that Stevo
Moore and Frank Pearson arc still at
work In their old positions. These are
the formcn who were not acceptable to
the men. and whose presence in tho
shops Caused the walkout on August 31.
Railway Age Gazette: Tho tone of
jfowspaper comment ,on tho demands of
the shop employes of eastern rail
ways should mako tho leaders of the
labor unions think very carefully before
.they take the final plunge into a strike.
The press, as a whole, is a pretty good
barometer of public opinion. Nobody
would say that its attitude toward tho
railways In recent years has been very
friendly. Whether tho issue has been
ono botween the roads or the shippers,
or between tho roads and their employes,
a large majority of tho newspapers
havo taken tho side of the railways'
opponents. Therefore, tho fact that
the attitude of the press in general to
ward tho demands of the we'stjern shop
employes is hostile is significant We
have not seen a single newspaper ed-
torial which defended them. Wo havo
seen many in which tho demand and
tljo threats to Btrike are condemned, or
even roundly denounced.
