DOWN REBATEMENT OF GARNIVAL FEES Party Lings Strictly Drawn at & Megting of Council - With an unfavorable report sub- mitted by the board of aldermen on the proposed rebatement of carnival fées pald {le city by three organi- zations, and with no alternative but to accept or refer back to the same board whose views nad already been e pressed, the common coun- cil last . sht voted against the re- batement, closing the case which has heen before the city government for several months, Only three of the six aldermen were placed definitely on record at i meeting of the board which pre- ceded the council session. Alder- man Joh: F. Maerz, sixth ward democrat, moved that fees of $460 cach pald by the Veterans of For- eign Wars, Y, M. T. A. & B. soclety and Kosclusko Post be rebated. Mayor A, M. Paonessa asked if the niotion was se.onded, but at the suggestion of Alderman William H. Judd, ruled "is was not necessary. When the question was put, Alder- man Maerz voted for the rebatement, Aldermen Judd and J. Gustav John- son voted against it, and Aldermen C. J. Dehm and Walter Falk did not vote at all. The vote was two to one for rejecting the request and it was so reported to the council. No Signature On Report The typewritten report of the pro- ceedings of the board meeting went to the governing body without any er, a condition most unusual. It had been submitted to Mayor Paon- essa for his signature but he declin- ed to place his name on the docu- ment declaring he could not con- sclentlously sigr a refusal to rebate the fees. When the proposition reached the councll, there was little debate, the only arguments offered being those of Councilman John J. O'Brien who made an unsuccessful attempt to have the fee of the Veterans of For- elgn Wars returned, but sald noth- ing in the interests of the other vet- erans' organization or of the Y. M. T. A. & B, goclety, Those of Coun- cllman S8amuel Sablotsky whose plea for rebatement was in the interests of all three. Thelr statements drew no response from proponents of the aldermen's actlon, When the vote was taken {t appeared to be strictly along party lines, the rgpublicans voting against rebatements and the democrats favoring the return of fees paid. Discussion of Fire Station An unexpected discusslon came when the councll took from the ta- ble & report of the fire board recom- mending the construction of a new fire station in Belvidere and the pur- chase of apparatus therefor. The plans of the board as outlined by Chairman John B, R. Keevers, who is chairman of the democratic town committee also, received the support of the republican members, but were opposed by Councilman ¥, Howard Smith, a democrat. The fifth ward councilman felt the site—the old Chipman school plot—was a poor location, and argued for a site far- ther Inside the Stanley Quarter sec- tion, Chalrman Keevers sald the ecity now owns the plot and a saving of $12,000 would be effected, Alderman Maerz favored the lo- cation. He submitted that a station not too far into the Stanley Quarter section would make with a suggestion to board that the money for apparatus the factories, ‘The fire board's plan was approv the finance ed be provided out of taxation rather than through the sale of clty notes, provided this plan {s found feasible. This suggestion was made by Coun- climan Donald L. artlett and re- celved the approval of Mayor Pao- nessa and the council last night, A claim of Miss Jogephine IFag: for damages arising out of Injur caused when she fell on a sldewa was referred to the claims comm tee, Cannot Allow Gas Station an les 1k, it- On the petition of A.

[ Jovss G CITY HALL A Stirring Drama of the Household in One Flashing Scene with a Smashing Climax The scene is the kitchen of the neat little home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Huckelberry. The time is early evening in the month of October. Stranger: As the curtain rises, charming Sally Huckelberry, who has but a few months previous sworn before witnesses to love, honor and do the housework for good old Samuel Huckelberry, is seen sitting near the window. She has a frown on her pretty little face. She seems to be having unpleasant thoughts. Occasionally her lips pucker up and she mutters words that sound suspiciously like cuss words. A cheerful whistle can be heard at the front of the house. A few light, hurried steps follow, and into the room bursts Samuel, the loving husband. (Now for the drama) Sam: Ah ha, Sally, my love! Supper all ready? f sally: It is NOT! sam: Whry, Sally! Sally: Don't Sallie me you decefving brute. I have found you out for the schemer you are, and before we are a half hour older, we are going to have a thorough understanding. Sam: (Sinking back on a chair, looking startled out of his usual composure,) My, God! What's happened? Sally: Don't be so flabbergasted. I'll tell you quick enough. When we were married you were so nice and loving that I walked around with my head in the clouds. 1 did everything around the house. And when you told me the wondenful news that sou had bought me a washing machine, I actually cried with foy and loved you all the more. When all the while you smiled to yourself to think what a simple fool T was to actually believe that you were doing so much for me. (Sam rises to his fect and tries to interrupt, but Sally angrily pushes him back ) You just sit still and listen. T am not through yet and you will hear all that T have to say. (She continues head as she stands before him, nut forward.) her fists clenched, her But the truth of the matter is that my work is all the more since I got that washing machine. It's wash, wash, wash all the time, And tron this and iron that. And when the machine Is out of order or a fuse blows out, which happens right along, 1 must sit and wait till some one comes to fix it. And they take their own time getting here, if they do get here at all. The only time [ see them is when the installment has to be paid. Then they are right here on the spot. (Sam again attempts to interrupt, but motions him to sit down so determinedly that he meekly obeys.) And the soap and the blue and the gas and the water and the starch all cost as much as the istallment on the machine. And the strength it takes to carry water and lift clothes. And the elecs fricity runs the bills way up. The only thing it saves is the ac- tual rubbing on the washboard. Oh! What a little fool I was to let you d0 this to me. Mrs, Tibbets has the Unfon Laundry call for her things and goes down town (o the movies while 1 stay home and slave in the kitchen. She smiles as she passes by, She probably pities me because 1 am simple ecnough to be a wash woman with nothing to gain for my efforts but aches and pains, and her clothes look beautifully white and clean (Her lips begin to tremble and a tear hangs on her long eyelashep.) Oh! Sam! Why did you do this to me? And you said you'd alwayy love me! Oh! Oh! You are False, False! (8am jumps to his feet and takes her in his arms as she falls sob= bing against his chest.) Now, now, Silly! Don't crs! I've been a brute and abused my little Sally. It's been a sad mistake. Don't think so 1l of your Sammy. You just dry your tears and watch and see what your Little Husband s going to do for you. He rushes out to the kitchen and seizes a hammer and is about to smash the source of this unexpected domestic discord, wh knock is heard at the door. A dapry about to sm es fam, hammer {n hand, Stranger: Stop! Don’t do that! We will sue you for damages. 1 represont the waching machine company, and I am here for the fourth instalment. Sam: (viciously) Try and get it you smooth tongued deceiver! If this machine isn't out of this house by tomorrow afterncon I'Ll throw it out in the street. D'ye hear me? (Thoroughly cowed) Y-y-yes sir! call for it first thing in the morning. I'll see to it that they Phew' (ha mutters, as he exits rledly.) Samuel up a walks quickly to the telephone and rattles the receiver Hello! Hello! Yes, 904, Operator! Give me some service! Give me 904, Hello! 1Is this the Unlon Laundry? This is Samuel Huckclberry speaking Samuel Huckelberry of 85 Dover Road. 1 want you to come right over and get our washing. And | want you to sve to It that you come and get it regularly every week. Is that clearly understood you. Good hye. All right be sure it is done. Thank (He hangs up the receiver with an air of relief and goes to Sally.) r eyes like stars, Her face Is all smiles and she ook that makes you tingle all over, we mean. s at her Samuel with a it you know the kind of look Sally: Sweetheart! You are so masterful. give me or being so unjust, How 1 love you. W¥or- You didn't really mean to fool me. Sam: My forgive movie darling! 1's all my own stupid fault. Will you ever me. Let’s have dinner down town tonight and see & We'll get away and have some real fun fo ra change. Sally: My darling! sally! Sammy! (They embrace as the curtain falis)
