FINES HOT TO BE PAIDTOVICTIMS Board of Works Tables Rcso- : lution that City Council Adopted. Tabled Indefinitely by the board of works, the resolution paused by council ordering tho board and city codt roller to worn mend the passage of an ordinance which would provide for the appropriation of money to repay tho fines of those who were convicted of violating the right, and left traffic bill, has probably gone to a death not anticipated by Councilman Hartcl when he introduced it. nartel'a resolution was presented to council last Monday night. It was eent to the board by the city clerk this morning, following which the unfavorable action was taken. Councilman Matt Von Peln, was the only city father to attend tho meet lug. lie ataled following Ihe action that council could probably do "nothing but kick." He believes the full jtowcr Ilea with tho board of works. Mayor Zimmerman said, regarding the resolution: "Absolute action will be deferred until a later date. My mind, however la unchanged. The ordinance Is all right and I don't think the council or board or any one else could In any legal way refund the fines. The councilmen should learn to take the 'knocks of office,' when they pass something that doesn't please everyone. That's politics. Compared to some of the lemons that have been handed to me, these lemons which the councilmen claim they are getting, are poaches." Contracts Are Let. Ali the work of the Hoard was done this morning on the proviso that business transacted today, a legal holiday, is legal. There was no attorney at the meeting, Gardner being ont of the city. Contracts for Improvements aggregating the sum of neurly $20,000 were awarded by the Hoard as follows; Improvement of South Fifth street from Main to South K street, cement sidewalk on both sides, to Schneider Krothers, Richmond, approximately $4,000; addition to Fairvlew sewer system, to Reliable Construction company, Indianapolis, approximately 11.1,000; Improvement of Linden avenue, with sidewalk on south side, to F. K. Slick, Richmond; construction of sewer between Crossall and Itoyer streets, to Philip lllpsklnd & Son, Richmond. .The big Fairvlew sewer contract may be fought by lllpsklnd & Sops, because v the bond ' furnished by the Relluble Construction company, did not equal 24 per cent, of the contract price. The law, according to lllpsklnd. provides that 2 per cent, of the contract price must accompany tho bid on tho Improvement. Hiskin tl't! not bid on the sewer, he Kays, because he understood the engineer's estimate was $10,500. which ho considered too low.

INSPECTOR'S REPORT ELIMINATES DUNBAR Thomas Dunbar, postmaster at Centervllle, and an applicant for the reappointment, practically has been eliminated from the race. The appointment of his successor, it is now believed, lies between , Francis McMlnn and Bert Bertseh of that place, who are the oqly other applicants.

The office is of the fourth class and a postmaster can not be removed without cause.

Barnard, the representative from this district is empowered to make the appointment. MAN WAS STRICKEN WHILE MILKING COW (Palladium Special) Dublin, February 13. While milking early Sunday morning.
