Lots of Bad Roadways.
The number 'of roadways on the East
Side- of the river that are nearly im

the streets are In such a bad shape, that
although they are not closed to public
traffic by the City Engineer, It is about
as much as the springs of a vehicle are
worth to' travel over them.
Grand Avenue from East Morrison to
East Clay streets is In such a dilapidat
ed condition that it is avoided by all
teamsters who do - not have to comu
down that( roadway. Some of the planks
which formerly adorned the street have
disappeared altogether. Numerous com
plaints have been made by business men
on the street, but the property ownttrs
refuse to budge.
North Union avenue from Russell
street to a polnt about half a mile South
Is in the same condition as Grand av

planks missing on Union avenue, still
those that, ar left are without nails to
hplil them down.

platedTemporary Relief -Asked
For.
Present arid former employes of the
city, namely, JV-V. Brown, George F.
Hodman, William Brad eh, A. M. Shan
no and R. Reuter, were greatly Inter
ested In that which appeared In yester
day's Journal relative to. the suits for
back salaries these gentlemen have
brought against the city.
The Ave men mentioned, through their
counsel, J. M. Lang, recently sued the
municipality for 115 per month back pay
each, for a period of 2d months, amount
ing to $390 each, and totaling H.9.V), which
with legal interest added now amounts
to $2,641.60. These facts were related in
The Journal at the time the suit was
brought, and yesterday's paper Intimat
ed that unless the suits were dropped
the Board of Public Works might con
clude to greatly reduce the salaries of the
employes of the City Engineer's office.
MEETING HELD.
, The men who brought the suits last
evening held s meeting at which it was
decided that the public has a right to
know the true story leading up to the
actions instituted for the collection.
STORY OF THE CLAIMS.
City Engineer Chase, they say, assum
ed office July 1, 1894, and retired -from
his ofliclal station June 30, 1903. Ons or
two days after coming into office he
said to us, "Boys, there is a request from
the City Council that" the expenses of
this office be eased up for a short time.
Can you. not get along on $85 per month
instead of $100 for a while llAt II the city's
funds are In such shape that your $100
per month can be restored from funds
that will be available later onT This is
In- ho sense" a -reduction of pay, but
merely a temporary easement. Your back
salaries will be paid. so soon as the funds
are. In condition." ,., . j . -
'These may not be exactly the- words
employed.! Mr.. Chase, but are the sub
stance 4f.hjsremaxks... . , ,
CHERFULLT ACljurESCED.
"We cheerfuly acquiesced, as a favor to
the city, being assured that the suspen
sion of payment of the other $16 per
month would not be prolonged beyond
the time actually necessary to recuperate
the city's financial condition.
"Bat time went on, and we heard
nothing about resuming our former sal
aries of $100 per month, as provided for
in ordinance 7160. When We Jagged the
memory of our- superior, he put Us off
on one pretext or another until after his
last election when he put our tlm In at
the old schedule of $100 per month, and
we have been paid that sum each month
since. At one time Mr. Chase would
say: i Npw, just wait boys, a little while,
and U will be all right.' At another,
Wait, until .after, the first of the year,
then when springtime-came, "Now I am a
candidate for -leatoni Just wait until
that Is over i i.
t CAME AT LAST,
"So' we waited for 26 months, and fin
ally Mr. Chase redeemed his promise.
"All we ask n6w Is that the city make
a-ood the deficiency in our salaries, as
was agreed would be. done, and the prlv
ilege of stating our cases to the Board
of Public Works, as one gentleman
would state his grievance to an
other. What we most object to Is the
thought conveyed in articles published
concerning us and our action In the
matter, that we desire to In any wise at
tempt to intimidate the city into paying
us anything or any sum of money not
rightfully belonging to us.
NEVER AGREED.
"We never agreed to accept $ per
month In full satisfaction of our claims
for wages.
AN HONEST DEBT.
"The city honestly owes us the money
claimed, and we cannot conceive of the
honorable gentlemen comprising the
Board of Public Works taking offense at
our efforts to collect tnat wnicn was
promised us. Is due us, and of right be
longs to us."
While holding the office of City At
torney, Mr. Long gave a written opinion
to the Council Judiciary Committee that
the claims of these employes of the city
were just and should be paid. It is be
lieved the matter may be settled through
tho Board of Public Works without
greater cost to the city.

There is a little nerve in your body

To be exact, hiccough Is a spasmodic
situation resulting from an affection of
the phrenlo nerve, which nerve looses the
diaphragm. Wiien Simon says "thumbs

When this happens you are no longer
