COUNCIL FORCES THE CUT
Befnsea to Eanotion Engineer's Appoint
ment! in Pnblio Worki Departments.
LARGE NUMBER OF EMPLOYES DROPPED
Engineer Says Action Will J Bad for
City, but He Cannot Get
Around It Without
Fonda.
The city council nt an adjourned meeting
yesterday afternoon refused either to con
firm or temporarily sanction employment
of the asphalt repair, sewer and inspection
forces working under the cty engineer.
Engineer Rosewuter, announced that he
would not take the responsibility of keep
ing the men at work and that he "would
discharge the' entire number Thursday
morning. He said this would disorganize
his department, scatter expert, foremen and
workmen and perhaps cause the city serious
daemage and loss to sewers, but this had
no effect on the council, which clung to
Its determination to defer action on the
appointments one week.
The engineer said he Understood his re
tention of the office and filing of a new
bond and oath made reappointment and
confirmation of all the employes designated
Imperative. Many of them he requested
be kept on the payrolls only until Septem
ber 1 and 15, In order that new men might
work with old hands to get properly ac
quainted with the various kinds of work
they are to perform. Mr. Roscwater ex
plained that more than two weeks ago he
asked for a conference with the mayor
and councilman to discuss appointments
and other matters, but that scant attention
had been paid to the request.
Ordinance In Shelved.
At the engineer's request Zlmman Intro
duced an ordinance seeking to permit
asphalt and sewer department employes ft
present In the service to remain temporar
ily, but the council laid the document on

of agriculture, M. Flloesofoff as minister
of commerce and M. Iswolsky, brother of
the foreign minister of commerce, as pro
curator general of the holy' synod.
'.The JRoela, Premier Stolyptn's orgart,. ext
plaining today the failure of Count Heyden
and others to enter the cabinet, says that
the emperor does not ' recognize the prin
ciple 'of the responsibility of the ministry
and therefore declines to permit candidates
for portfolios to dictate terms,
probably remain In office.
Prince Vassilchikoff Is a marshal of the
nobility of Novgorod. M. Filossofoft was
controller of the empire under Count Wltte.
M. Iswolsky Is now assistant minister of

RAIN DID IT, SAYS FLYNN
Heavy Waihonla Street Commlnloner's
Rrmon for Larue Expend!
tares ou Thoroughfares.
Inaccuracies In transcribing figures ob
tained from the comptroller's . office have
conspired to give Street Commissioner
Flynn the worst of It inj.he statement that
he spent (10.000 In his department during a
month and a half tenure of office. .Instead
of 110,000, the actual amount was under
$7,000. This Is somewhst heavier than the
usual average, but la explained by the
exceptional rainfall during July, causing
repeated washouts and slides, which re
quired Immediate repairs and often the
doing of the same Job over and over again.
Commissioner Flynn's records .are kept in
detail and -back up his statements thnt
street repair money has not been expended
with an unduly lavish hand. He has an
nounced that he will run the department
on the most economical lines compatible
with efficiency and feels that he has been
unjustly nttacked before a sufficient op
portunity was .given Ym to prove up.
The monthly reports to the engineer
have been prepared In detail and will be
furnished as required by the ordlifcinces.
The failure to make the report for June
and July Is accounted for by the fact that
this duty had been performed by William
Coburn, who retired from the office in
June, and the matter overlooked by the

, It may be true that some, brewers cheapen
the cost of production and thereby lower
the quality of fhelr product, by use of In

the ingredient which are essential to the
production of the bent beer. These In
gredients . are ..the choicest. Imported hops,

Malt grown by .the 'rushed four-dsjr'
