WOULD TJtlTX CITT AKD COUNTY.
Tbomw Hielop. a prominent resident of
the East Side, is a persistent advocate of
th plan to unite the city and county
under one government on the grounds of
economy and prompt transaction of busi
ness. Fifteen years ago Air. Hlslop
foujrht the projected Board of Public
n orks. which afterwards appeared in
the Executive Board, and now he is In
sisting on doing away with this last body.
He calls attention to the fact that the
affairs of the county are handled by three
men, the County Judge and two Commis
sioners, and these three men. be says.
handle as murh business as the city offi
cials. "By uniting the city and county.
he declares, "we could Jointly take up the
matter of crushing rock for road and
street improvements. The county has
the quarry and plant at Kelly Butte, and
the output could be delivered by electric
railway at points In the city at minimum
cost to the property-owners. I firmly be
lieve that a council, or board, of five
members, two elected for two years, two
for four years and a. Mayor elected for
five years could give us a compact and
economical administration of both city
and county affairs. The business of the
city and county Is so closely united that
It Is practically the same. The details, of
course, of the charter, would nave to oe
worked out by those fitted for the work.
Monrr Tabor School Bnttattow. At
the meeting of the Mount Tabor Improve
merit Club Tuetday night a report was
made on the condition of the toilets of
the West-avenue schoolhouse to the effect
thavt It could not be much worse. Bo
far nothing has been done to better the
arrangements. It tras decided mat un
less the Board of Education takes some
motion before the opening of school the
attention of the building Inspector will Be
called to the conditions. There has been
talk of a septic tank to replace the
present provisions, as there are yet no
sewers within rach of the West-avenue
building. Nothing has been done, how
ever, and the opening of school Is near
, at hand. The closets are In a building
over a ravine and it was the opinion ex
pressed at the meeting that when wet
i weather sets tn and the ground becomes
saturated the bulltang might slide Into
the ravine, thus endangering the lives of
the school children. The ciui win me a
request with the Board of Education for
some improvement.
Mextino la Pervukctort. The City
Civil Service Commission met at the City
Hall yesterday morning, but transacted
little besides routine business. Nothing
was said about the failure of the police
committee of the Executive Board to ap
point a Captain to fill the vacancy left
by Captain Bruin, although some looked
for sensational developments. It had
been Intimated In certain quarters that
the Commissioners mta-ht take itcps to
compel the Committeemen to name a
Captain, but no such action was taken.
The matter was not even mentioned.
Appeals of Joe Day. J. J. Rseing. Frank
J. Snow and U G. Carpenter, former de
trtives. and Matt P. Murphy, formerly
c. patrolman, were officially considered,
VMt no date was set for the hearings.

best to postpone the entire matter.
