Development League Threaten Re

government Municipal Water
Work Is Bone of Contention
At Madras there appears to bo
something of an uprising on tho
part of the dissatisfied citizenship
because of the alleged misgovern
ment of the city fathers. That
those forming the newly-chrfstcned
"Madras Development League"
may resort to the use of the recall
upon tho official persons of the
council and mayor is hinted In the
wild report of the uprising appear
ing in Mayor Turner's Pioneer.
After a couple of meetings, held
with secrecy enough to do credit to
the most approved black hand oper
ations, the League had printed, not
in the Mayor's printshop, conspic
uous flaming red posters calling a
public maas meeting. At this
gathering sujidry questions concern
ing the expenditure of city funds
in the erection of the municipal
water works, and pertaining to
alleged unnecessary delay and ex
travagance in this water-getting
enterprise, were shot at the city
council. In what appears to have
been no very gentle manner.
The end of the political fracas
seems to have been that a committee
was appointed by the reformers to
audit the municipal accounts.
Nothing as yet has been heard from
the investigators, and according to
last reports the officials of the
troubled city still held their jobs,
though the tea of political squabble
seethed uncomfortably above them.
