arrived in time to hear a large portion
of tie- minutes of the three previous meet
ings, which were duly read by the clerk
.1 *1 approved as read.

Mrs. dx. A. Williams and Oliver Si.
tii rmain, both requesting a reduction of

The report declared tin city to be in |
a sanitary condition and everyone work
ing to keep it so.
The report of the city magistrate show
ed a total of ten arrests during the
i non ill ol June ami lines and forfeitures
amounting to $5f>.
< 'oiiiieilman Uo.se reported that W. J.
Itowe had agreed to reduce by $f> liis
bill for certain 'grading work done for
tin* city. Hose also reported that a
prisoner hud done some damage to tiie
interior of the city jail and orders had
In i n given for repairs. The prisoner
was still in custody.
Councilman McAllister reported for the
ire and water committee that a lire
ilartu dux had been install* <1 on the
oner hy the Catholic church instead of
*n Fourth at r**<«t, as request’d l»>
iiiiuh* t "I the proporty owners of that
uriiun McAllister stated that the
nangc was din- to the absence oi any
support, ashle from a telephone pole
which was buried in the snow during
the winter.
Claims and accounts against the city,
totaling fj.utiu.44 ami including the city
,»ay roll ha June were read h> the clerk
Hid ordered paid after approval hy the
nuance committee.
< ounctlmaii liurgh handed in a reso
lution thanking the chairman and nicm
iiers of the Fourth of July committee,
tin- ladies committee and Captain Mar
in and the men <>i Fort Davis for their
ud and assistance in helping to muke |

tion was adopted on motion of liurgh.
Dills approved hy the finance cominlt
*-o totaling f'.Mu.UT W*-re submitted ami
order pain on motion oi Councilman
Durgli.
< ouiieilmati liurgh brought up the mat
ter oi tin city printing emitrac-l but the
mayor remarked that the same could
stand over for a while and no action
was taken.
Koge moved that the clerk he instructed
to collect such rents as were due on
-ity property, stating that he under
stood that various properties owned by
the municipality were occupied by rent
ot*s and no returns had been forthcoming.
The clerk was ordered to take the mat
ter up with the city at torn* *\ and take
such action as might l»* in * * ssary.
t'ouncilinun McAllister thought that tin
city Imd heat get a move on in tin- mat
i*-r oi the pumping plant and stated
that tin- work of clearing the loi would
commence today. Tin- council could then
place the necessary fundatlons and
nun* on* of tin pumps I rum tin power
station id tin- new sit**. Mayor Dlake
agreed to tin* idea and offered the slat*
m«-iiI that lie had secured an estimate
as to tin- costs of moving the pumps
atnl installing same. At this juncture
Councilman Dose wanted to know when:
the money was to come from. II* said
that In- was unable to find anyone who
was willing to take a chance on advanc
ing money for tin purpose. No one seem
ed to have any answer ready so the
clerk, at the suggestion of the mayor,
read an estimate of tin- cost of moving
and hauling tin- pumps ami other paia
phciialhi, the cost of setting up. *•
mail*- hy J. 1. Douglas. The price staled
was “around fat hi.'' Douglas stated that
it was impossible .«* tell exactly but he
figured that tin* staled sutq would I**
sufficient to cover all costs. The mayor
remarked that flic sum was sufficient 1/
large, Councilman Doled said that In
bad done all he could to enlist tin- in
terest *n tin- citizens and raise tin* m-ces
sury money hut no one wanted to tag**
.* chutfbe. The banks would not advance
money to tin* city and the chances did
not seem very good. No one seemed to
want to trust tin- city as they saw no
assurance of getting their money back.
From the tone of < 'oum-ilrnau 1'otecl‘s
remarks it appeared to him 1 ik• • a rather
hopeless task to raise funds for the pur
pose.
Tin- mayor *11*1 not share in thfs ap
parent spirit of pessimism and remarked
in eontidc-ut tone .hat more efforts could
he mad *.
Councilman Ross brought up the appli
cation of ^Mrs. Williams relative t** tin
rebate of taxes oil Mrs. Waskey’s lot
but i he council decided to leave that
petit ion as well as th»- one presented by
St. Germain to the finance committee
for consideration.
McAllister wanted to know if some
thing could not be done about installing
a public scale. The mayor replied that
something could be done but suggested
that the street committee ,irst secure1 an
estimate of the cost of such installation.
The council then adjourned.
