PROPOSALS FOR FORAGE-CHIEF
Quartermaster's Offlcs, Federal Build
ing. Chicago. III., July 1, I912.-8aled
proposals will be received here until 1
o'clock P. M., Central Time, September
I, 1912. for furnishing and delivering at
Chicago or other prominent railroad
points; 10,000 tons hay and 1,000 tons

cation. John L. Clem, Chief Quarter
master. JyW-n-18-19-A28-30.
Drawn for The Bee by
ment for claim of $3,175 hydrant rental.
Says check Is short $&S5 deducted by
city for taxes. -
City Treasurer John Glllln at last
night's meeting of the city council found
for the third time within the last month
that he could not compel a majority of
the council to Increase his already large
office force by the addition of two more
tax collectors. With Tom Alton alone
fighting to Increase the expenditures In
the treasurer's office the rest of th coun
cil accepted Olllin's statement that he
could not collect the personal taxes with
out having two extra men appointed on
a 30 per cent oommlsalon and ordered him
to turn a copy of the list of delinquent
taxpayers over to the legal department
of the city, which offered to undertake
collection of back taxes without any
further cost to the city. The motion to
turn the collections over to the olty at
torney's office was introduced by Coun
cilman Jay Williams, who, with his re
publican colleagues, Vana and Rlha, has
steadfastly fought the attempts of th
treasurer to Increase the burden of taxa
tion by adding more men to Ms Office
force. Councilman Henry Hartnett, seem
ingly disgusted at the persistent tight to
oontrol the council made by Ollli n, voted
with the republicans and left Tom Alton,
president of the council, to act tor th
Gillin cabal.
. The vote turning the collection of back
taxes over to the legal department fol
lows Glirin's admission he could not do
th work unless he gets two extra men
on a commission of 20 per cent, or some
thing Ilk $6,000.
Following the repudiation of the stand
taken by him in supporting th treasurer,
Councilman Alton himself received a se
ver Jolt from his associates, who turned
down a motion to compel the legal de
partment to make an Itemised report to
th city council. Plainly chagrined over
his 111 success, the president of the coun
cil then sought to have th council allow
a claim for $295 tor damage 'done to a
certain lot of land In Shelby's addition.
Attorney Samuel Winters Interrupted th
proceedings to say that the matter had
come through the wrong channel, Coun-
oilmen Williams, Vana and Rlha all
joined In the protest against the action
of Alton and the claim was left to be acted
pn In the regular order of future com
mittee business. Alton as he took his
seat told City Attorney Winters that he
would "push th claim through." Th
paper was signed by Alton himself and
bore no other Indication as to the owner
ship of the property. ;
