Albin Olson was held to the grand jury yesterday afternoon by Police Magistrate C. J. Smith, the charge ! against him ! deadly weapon "Who are city officials?" General Manager John G. Huntoon of the Tri-City Railway company has put the above question to the new city commission, and members of that body were unable to answer. They assure the street railway mag nate that the mayor, the commission ers, the police and the firemen are city officials. But are numerous others now included in those receiving courtesies, on account of the city? The commissioners frankly con fessed their ignorance in this matter; they must confer with special counsel before they can answer the question: "Who are city officials under the commission form of government law?" Mr. Huntoon feels the pass privilege is being abused at this time; that nu merous passes are being issued some to persons not legally city officials; that there must be a stopping place somewhere. ATTORNEYS TO ANSWER. He said the railway company has se cured the services of Searle & Marshall of Rock Island to arrange for the com pany an answer to the question, "Who are city officials?" and he urges the commission to have counsel arrange the city's answer. These answers will then be compared and within possibly a week's time the public service corpor ation and the municipality will have a working basis on which to determine "Who are city officials ?" "The officers of a private corporation are its president, secretary, treasurer, and board of directors." said Mr. Hun toon. "The city is also incorporated. Why should it have such a long list of officials? In tire past there has never been an interpretation as to who were city officials, and a great many pass books have been issued. The new law provides that the distinction shall be clearly made that only city officials shall receive passes. We desire to re main strictly in the bounds of the law." WHAT I. AW SAYS. The present franchise of the Tri-City Railway company provides that "city officials" shall receive passes. The commission form law says: "Prohibition of free transportation shall not apply to policemen or firemen in uniform, nor shall any free service to city or village officers or employes heretofore provided by any franchise, or license, be affected by this section." Therefore, because a franchise grant ed by the old council provides city offi cials shall receive passes "Who are city officials?"

The following statement has been issued: 'The boss tailors have agreed to give the 10 per cent Increase in wages, but have so far refused to sign the sched ule. Until they do so they will not be allowed to use the union label and so will be running open shops. A meet ing of the local was held yesterday afternoon at the call of the president, Mr. Bolin, and the members decided j to remain at work, but to bar the shops which refused to sign the sched ule from using the label." After a trip to the west end of the city yesterday afternoon for the pur pose of looking over the location where the city formerly dumped its garbage into the Mississippi river, the members of the municipal com mission practically decided thai it will be necessary to build a modern plant for the destrojing of the refuse of the city. This has been rendered imperative by a federal order prohib iting the dumping of garbage into the river. The commission intends to look into the proposition with a view to purchasing an incinerating plant. In the meantime, however, the com mission will have to make temporary arrangements for disposing of the city's garbage. MAKING rP ORDINANCES. The commissioners met this morn ing in informal session and continued It this afternoon. They are busily en gaged in formulating ordinances which will specify the duties that are to come under each department and also fixing the salaries of the various city officials.
