C0UNCILMEN LOOK OVER
I PROPOSED SWITCH SITE
Location Contemplated for Service
Track to Sonderlnnd Yards Is
Opposed by Kagel.
Half a dosen of the city councllmen
pent Wednesday ' morning vl wing the
proposed location of the new switch tracks
of ' the - Chicago Great ' Western railroad,
which, if permitted, will run across
Twentieth and Twenty-first streets south
of Mason. The new tracks would run west
to the alley Just east of Twenty-second
street.
Twentieth and Twenty-first streets are
paved already, and a petition Is out to
pays Twenty-second In the .viplnjty of the
brdposed; new tracks. 'Sh'duKI he-sordi-nance
be . passed to permit ' the j new
construction and give switch track
to the property bought ' by Sunder
land Bros. Co., for material yards, Twen
tieth street will be crossed by 'two tracks
and Twenty-first by three tracks.
Councilman Kugel, who represents that
section. Is particularly opposed to the
proposed ordinance. While on the ground
today he suggested to Mr. Sunderland that
It . would have been wiser and muoh 'more
feasible to locate the yards east and south
of where the firm has bought
' "Then we would only have had to deal
with a few people, owning comparatively
the&p ,homes," said Councilman Kugel,
"and plenty of room would have been left
for the extension of the yards. But at
the proposed location we. are up against a
much harder proposition. In the imme
diate neighborhood are many substantial
homes, which have been located ' there for
a long time. If the people are compelled
to move ' out, no one else will buy the
property for residence purposes, and. if
the owners continue to live, there, they
will certainly be greatly discommoded by
the railroad tracks and switching opera
tions. There Is no way to get around that
fact, and I am ' strongly opposed to the
ordlnanoe."
How the other councllmen feel will not
be known until the meeting ..of the com
mittee of the whole, ' next Monday.
MAN CALLS HIS DOG CANNON
BECAUSE HE'S ON THREE LEGS
Toes List 'of Vaasnal Names at Of
fices Where the Licenses
Are Bought.
The coming of the springtime Is now as
sured beyond successful contradiction. The
city Is harvesting .the dog license crop,
which in other seasons Is not ripe until
May L Five dog licenses have been Is
sued. A movement has been started for the In
troduction of an ordinance before the city
council to restrict the names which may
be applied to dogs. The registration of the
pet pups of the city has revealed the In
dulgance in tastes that are by the offi
cials considered a . menaoe to the safety
and joy of the body politic.
The most flagrant case before the offi
cials Is that of an Irish terrier of good re
pute and breeding who must submit to the
suggestive appellation of "Whisky." The
owner of this dog has perpetrated further
wrong by naming a perfectly good Scotoo
terrier "Bad Eye."
One dog owner looked over the Hat and
then addressed the clerk.
"Guess you can register my. dog as 'Can
non.' He's running on three legs now."

COVERT CASE IS THROWN OUT
Petition to Enjoin Court Home Con-
straction is Denied.
SUIT KILLED BY JUDGE SUTTON
John O. YeUer Asbobsms Me Will
File e Apvenl to the Supreme
Court and Continue
the FtKht.
Tercy P. Covert's suit to enjoin Caldwell
Drake ended so far as district court is
concerned, when Judpa Button sustained
a demurrer to plaintlff'a petition. Tha suit
fnr an Injunction la. therefore, dismissed.
The court had first ruled adversely to
John O. Telser'a motion to have permission
granted for a number of Inspectors or
experts to examine the work on the court
house. In ruling on thla Judge Sutton
ntin(l at every point the contentions
of John F. Stout, attorney for the contrac
tors, who had argued that the court was
without Jurisdiction.
"Th court would be practically under
taking 4o supervise the construction of tha
building, if It makes this order," sold
Titto- Snttnn.
"The plaintiff could ' eome before the
court by appealing from the decision of
the Board of County commissioners In al
lowing claims for thla work. But this
course has not been pursued. Tha way the
matter haa come up, the court la without
Jurisdiction."
When Judge Sutton had ruled thla way
on the motion, It waa agreed that the for
mal answer of the defendant shall be with
drawn and a demurrer entered Instead.
Judge Sutton then announced that thla de
murrer would be sustained. This, of course,
haa the effect of throwing the Injunction
suit out of court.
The plaintiffs' side announced that It will
Immediately file an appeal to the aupreme
court.
FINDS ONLY SKVBW BAD RIVETS
Latenaer Reports on Btrnctnral Work
at Jfew Co art House.
Only seven Imperfect rivets were dis
covered In the steel work of the new court
house by Architect John Latenser and the
two structural engineers and two draughts.
men, who examined every inch of the
work together.
"Mr. Latenser has filed his formal report
with the Board of County Commissioners,
and the belief of that body Is that this
examination and report will about end the
talk of -poor construction.
The communication of the architect is
as follows:
Only the columns of the sub-basement
and basement and the floor over tha sub
basement were examined.
The specifications provide as follows:
'Workmanship All workmanship shall be
of such character that the connections
shall posses strength and durability equal
to the plain portions between them. They
are to be riveted whereevor practicable,
where not, bolts may be used with nuts
drawn up tight and the end of bolta upaet.
All holes must bs spaced so accurately
that when the parte are assembled hot
rivets will enter without being distorted
and shall completely fill the holes after
upsetting, have standard heads concentric
with rivets, with full bearing on plates
and shall be tight. Where holes need en
larging It must be done by reaming. If it la
necessary to use bolts the holes are to be
of the exact slxe and spaced so that the
work can be assembled without distorting
the metal by the use of drift pin.
Every rivet and every bolt was inspected
and every beam' ana 'every member of
the steel columns were verified as to slse
and weight.
The column connections were found to
fully develop the strength called for by
the first portion of the above specification
The result of the inspection as to rivets
and bolts is as follows:
As to Rivets and Units.
1. Rivets have been driven In -.1 Instances
where practicable and wnere not praoti
cable bolts have been used.
2. fieven (7) imperfeot rivets were dls
covered and marked, and twenty-two (22)
bolts wers not drawn as tight aa they could
have been.
S. The end of one channel was placed
1H feet too high.
Attached to this report find the exact
location of the rivets and bolts above re
ferred to.-
The result of the inspection as to the
weight and slse of the material ta aa fol
lows: 1. In the case of bcm No. 132 a 12-foot
beam, weighing thirty-one and one-halt
(3H4) pounds per foot, was used In place
01 a u-ioot ueam, weigning forty (vj)
pounds per foot. ....
I. In the case of beams Nos. 27 and 275
12-foot steel beams, weighing lorty (40)
pounds per foot, were used In place of
la-foot beams, weighing thirty-one and
one-hair uhi . pounds per toot. -
I. In the case of beams Nos. 428 and 429
12-foot beams, weighing thirty-one and one
half (31ft) pounds per foot, wre used In
place of 10-foot- beams, -weighing thirty
five (36) pounds per foot.
The above first two items you will see
is an interchange of beams -by mistake.
the third item is a substitution of a 12-foot
beam in piaoe 01 a 10-1001 oearo and tha
sum total shows fifty-eight (&S) more
pounds of steel in place tnah called for
by the plans and specifications.
. With the exceptions aoov noted all of
the steel work examined is In accordance
with the plans and specifications and fully
up to standard.
The beama of the upper floor are nearly
the connections are finished, and the floor
therefore not ready lor examination. Aa
soon as the contractors report this floor
rinisnea an examination win be made.
; In order to give due weight to the above
report the following facts should be con
sidered: L Your board asked me to make a re
port on riveting only, but I thought best
to Included the weight of the steel, char
acter of shop work, bolting and connec
tions. ' i. Every connection and all of the steel
And Iron Is visible and will be left visible
for at least ten days.
t. The examination herein reported, al
though complete, will not be final. The
tightening of tie rods will be examined
before plaolng the tile arches and the
final coat of paint haa not yet been applied
on portions of the work.
4. In order to examine the support of
the steel beama in (he north and south
walls holes were broken Into the wall.
ft. Connections of thai part of the steel
which la covered up by tho wagon run
Way or drive through the center of build
ing la not Included in this report, except
that the wslgnt of the steel beams has
bean verified.
t. The work' examined amounts to about
four hundred-(400) tons of steel at a value
of about sixty U0O) dollars per ton, or a
total of twenty-four thousasd ($34,0U0) dol
lars. The cost of making the defects
herein mentioned good will amount to
about ten ($10) or fifteen ($15) dollars.
Fermlt me to thank you for calling upon
me for a report In thla matter.
The superintendent at tha building, Mr.
D. L. Mhane, and myself desire any in
vestigation that may be deemed desirable
at any time.
