Paxton Blk. 219 So. 16th St. N Latenser Pronounce! it Unsafe, as Well as Giasticutuses. GUSTAVE ANDERSON VINDICATED Active ntlsea Who Foe, ant Ddfi and Tate Now ! Their Deellite Is Able to "ay "I Told Ton So." Besides the emaciated and anaemic cats and dogs perched on the city hall, another part of that building Is declared to be un safe. Leading architects assert that the tower at the southwest corner Is dangerously ltablo to topple over and flatten Into pan cakes passing pedestrians. As his first official net of the new year Mayor Dahlman vetoed the resolution passed at the last session of the council appropriating 2.ono to pay for the removal of the sixteen glastlcutusea from the roof of the building. It seems that the heart of Dave Rowden, custodian of the build ing, was all but broken when the resolu tion appropriating tZ.OOO was passed. Row den has been trying to make a record In economy In conduct of the building and has been only too zealous thereat, say many who have official life Inside the municipal structure. None too much coal has been burned during the recent cold snap and soap In the lavatories hat been largely an imaginary quantity. So when the balance of the maintenance fund; wus appropriated by Councilman Johnson's resolution, he went to Mayor Jim and wept all over the office. The mayor prides himself on having a tender and sympathetic heart and let the veto axe sink into the neck of the resolution. Meantime the utterly Insecure dogs of heavy sandstone will menace those who walk to and fro on Farnam street. The difficulty may be solved by the intro duction of a resolution appropriating a smaller sum. What the work will cost la problematical, for the stone figures are heavy and cannot be lifted down by hand or In any easy way. Judge Anderson Smiles. "I told 'em so long ago," chuckled Gustave Anderson, United States commis sioner, when he read that the resolution had been offered and passed because the council appreciated the danger of the situa tion. Anderson fought a hard fight against the dogs even going up when they were planned sixteen years ago. "It was the current opinion that the architect had a nightmare," said he, "and reproduced the grim objects of his dream with amazing accuracy and fidelity. Neither at the time nor since have I ever heard any one say a good word for these monstrosities and when they come down thero will be general rejoicing. Dan Wheeler, watch-dog of the treasury at the time was the man who fought for the bow-wows In the council and the guess was hazarded that he fancied the canines were a sort of symbolic representation and perpetuation of his guardmount over the city funds. Some people seem to think I was In the council myself at the time, but the charge is a libel. I have never been a councilman." It Is told that when the city council voted to adorn (?) the city hall with the sandstone images of dogs and cats Mr. Anderson, every morning as he passed the building on the way to his office had to grab himself to put down an Incipient riot and he admits that he never has succeeded In overcoming his old-time contempt for these giastlcutuses, which now menace human safety. APPEAL TAKENJ3RIEF RESULTS Guslar Collins Would Have Done Far Better to Remain Inactive After Tollce Court Sentence. By appealing from police court to dis trict court In four cases In which lie was charged with maintaining a nuisance, Oustav A. Collins, owner of a flat at Twenty-fifth and Leavenworth, caused his fine to be doubled, the costs in his case to be Increased and he spent Satur day In the county Jail waiting for a su persedeas bond from Lincoln. Collins was fined $50 and costs In four cases by Judge Crawford and his appeal was heard Sat urday morning by Judge Sears, who as sessed him $100. Collins refused to pay, declaring he would appeal to the supreme court. He was taken to jail pending the arrival of his bond from the supreme court at Lin coln. He was charged with refusing to connect vaults with the sewer. "What have you to say for yourself?" Judge Sears asked. "I am merely charged with an omission and you can't make a crime out of an omission." was his not well chosen reply. F. A. Henlln, a tenant of Collins, was also fined $20 and costs for the same offense. He was fined $15 in police court and appealed. II. E. Fredrlckson and Je rome I'. Magee pleaded guilty to speeding their automobiles when their appealed cases were called before Judge Stars. They were fined $10 each and costs. Two canes against the Omaha Ice and Cold 8torage company and John A. Doe, charged with selling Ice at short weight, were dismissed by City Prosecutor Dunlel because they were so ancient witnesses could not be found. The company and Mr. Doe were fined $26 In one caso and $50 In another. The cases were file in August, 1906, and have never been called for trial until Saturday. Since the fines were assessed Mr. Doe, one of the de fendants, has died. A number of old cases were dismissed by the city prosecutor.
