Two boys, William Bryan, years
old, and Erwood Bryan, 9 years old,
have unbounded faith in Santa Claus,
though their father has had no work
for months, and unless assistance
comes they will be badly disappointed.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cosgrlff of the Juvenile
court Investigated the case and found
the mother dead and the father a man
who wanted work but was unfortu
nate enough to have no trade to which
he coMld turn. Two older sisters were
caring forthe boys and their father,
and the case was reported very worthy,
The family resides in the basement of
270 Montgomery street.
Mrs: Cosgriff suggested that the
boys write to 5anta, and the result
was two little letters on her desk this
morning.
"Dear banta Olaus," the letters read
"I will be satisfied with anything you
want to send me. from one of your
boys," and Erwood covered the re
mainder of his page with crosses for
kisses and circles for love to the
patron saint, while William added
fewer signs, but much larger. The
juvenile court will do what is possible
for the lads but would appreciate any
help that can be extended to It.

"It will not be necessary for you to

The mayor's action brought io a cli

The O-W. R. & N. company ; this
morning offered to lease the upper deck
of the railroad br4dge to the county for
$52,000 a year, provided he county
commissioners sign up a lease for 35
years. The matter was taken unaer aa-
vlsemont, although expressions of opin
ion by ' Commissioners Holman and
Lightner made It evident that the prop
osition would receive little considera
tion because of the length of the leaso
demand.
The offer was based on figures pre
sented by Attorney A. C. Spencer for
the railroad company, in which the cost
of the upper deck and various charges
were considered. Mr. Spencer said that
the Interest on the $907,124, estimated
cost of the upper deck, at 4 per cent
and the depreciation would make an es
timated cost of $18,334; lights, $1350;
salaries of operators, $6747; insurance.
$80; paving and maintenance, $obt;
taxes $5000; a total of $67,149. From
this he said would be deducted $14,111,
estimated revenue from street cars at 3
cents each. The remainder, he said,
would be $53,179, but the company
would be willing to throw
$1179 and accept the $52,000.
Time Clause Objected to
When the commissioners said they
did not feel that the 35 year clause
could be accepted. President J. D. Far
rell of the company said that it would
be necessary to revise the figures if
a shorter period were to be considered
New figures will be presented as soon
as ready.
On the basis offered the company
appears to be asking more from the
county than was named in tne last
offer to the city. To the city the
company offered to take $48,334 with
taxes to be paid by the city, making
the total about $59,000, but the city
was to retain the streetcar toll
which amount to approximately $13,
000 a year. The offer to the county
does not include payment Of taxes by
the county, but that Is offset by the
taking away of the streetcar tolls, as
the railroad company would contract
directly with the streetcar company.
Proposed Tolls Submitted.
Two traffic tables with proposed
tolls, which would probably be adopted
should the efforts to reach an agree
ment to lease fail, were submitted, one
made by the city which showed an In
come of $57,959 a year and the other
bv the company which showed an In
come of $79,079. The traffic figures
kept by the company and the city vary
, widely.
The tentative tolls are: Pedestrians.
1 cent each; bicyces and motorcycles.
2 cents; automobiles and auto trucks,
6 cents; drays, loaded, 6 cents; 2
horse vehicles, 3 cents; 1 horse ve

STATEMENT CHALLENGED
"In spite of publishedi declarations
that. there Is work for every skilled
mechanic who wanta it. I think I am in
a position to knowi differently," de

the camenter'a trade for many years.

make such statements when they can
not be substantiated. 1 know that
there are many men who are compe
tent to work at the most j difficult Jobs
who are trying to I find I any sort of
work, among them carpenters, machin
ists. clerks and engineersl Mr. Martin
