CITY
COUNCIL
MEETING
Although developing none of
the strenuous features expected
by the large crowd gathered in
the council chambers, the second
meeting of the sixteenth common
council last night was decidedly
interesting and gave the specta
tors much amusement. All were
present when the meeting was
called to order by Mayor Blake.
V slight diversion was created
by the city clerk during the roll
call through that official yielding
to the long standng habit of call
ing the name of Mayor Diamond
at the conclusion of the roster,
instead of that of the present pre
iding officer.
The minutes of the preceeding
Meeting were read and approved
after a minor cortictTon was not
d. The roll call concluded, May
or Blake anounced that he would
discharge the standing commit
tees appointed at the last meeting
and would later appoint new
committes. His reiparks were
■refaced with the statement that
he thought such action was for
the best interest’s of the city. The
lerk read a communication from
the Rice benefit association ask
ing the city for aid but the re
quest was later refused on the
ground that the council had no
authority to mafce donations.
Claims and accounts against
city amounting to S35.35 were
read and referred to the finance
committee.
Councilman Burgh presented a
resolution directing the city clerk
to notify. A. J. BacheldeV, the
former city treasurer, to turn over
to City Treasuer Phil Murphy all
moneys, documents, etc., in his
possession belonging to the city.
The motion was seconded by
Councilman Ross and passed
without dissent. Burgh also in
troduced a resolution authorizing
the mayor to telegraph to Dele
gate Wickersham to request con
gress for authority to bond the
city in the sum of fifty thousand
dollars for the establishment of
the much discussed municipal
light and pumping plant. McAl
lister moved that the resolution
be adopted He was seconded
by Ross. Mayor Blake remarked
that he would like to hear from
Mr. Polet of the Chamber of
Commerce, which organization
was also interested in the pro
ject

Mr. Polet was in the audience
and responded to the invitatior
by stating that the chamber o
commerce was heartily in accorc
with the municipal utilites pro
jects and would do everything
possible to aid and assist in theii
development.
He said that the amount askee
for by the resolution was more
than was exactly needed for the
proposed pumping and lighting
plant but the surplus could be
used for other purposes of like
beneficial nature. Mr- Polet men
tionejl the possibility of using
the exhaust steam from the plani
for heating heating purposes as
one of the uses to which the sur
plus bonds might be devoted
The speaker also took a shot al
the local monopolies by stating
that everything was in their
bands and that they absorbed the
profits of the community and
business.
This pleased the crowd and
•loud applause followed his re
marks. Harold Jensen, one of the
spectators, asked Mr. Polet if it
was intended to establish a mu
nicipal coal yard as well as a
municipal pumping and lighting
plant, giving as his reason that
the bonding question as embraced
on the ballot at the last election
included a coal yard.
The mayor replied for Mr- Po
let. saying that such was the in
tention. Councilman Thompson
then withdrew his resolution of
last week fixing the salaries of
city employes anti submitted 'a
new resolution of the same char
acter.
After reading this was adopted
on motion of Thompson, second
ed by Ross. Councilman Rose
also withdrew his resolution of
last week fixing the salaries of
city officers and offered a new
one, in which the salaries of the
various officials were named as
follows: City clerk, magistrate,
assessor, tax collector, etc., $175.
City attorney $75. City treasur
er $1.00. City physician $50.00
Thompson moved that the rules
be suspended and the resolution
adopted The motion was sec
onded and all voted ves on roll
call.
The council then selected the
following to fill the positions
n ime I: 1.»• ts H'-m/hey chiet
ol the file department: Captain of
chemical, Geo. Rond; Driver, W.
R. Neilly; Pipeman, Louis Holm
gren; Street foreman, H C. Kell
ing; Street sweeper, Domonic

I he various names were offered
without opposition and the selec
tions were unanimous in all but
two instances- The council also
selected Dr. Chace as health offi
cer.
The mayor then announced
the appointment of the following
standing committees: Finance

—Thompson and Rose. Fire and
W ater—McAllister and Thomp
son. Law, Ordinance and Print
ing-Burgh and Ross. Health
and Relief—Ross and Poteet.
Streets, Alleys and Lights—Po
teet and McAllister
Councilman McAllister did not
like the change and enquired why
it was that such occurred. Also
he questioned the right of the
mavor to make such change.
Councilman Rose arose to re
mark that he was willing to
change with Mr. McAllister so
that the laFter could be chief of
police if he wanted to. The mayor
stated that he had the right to
change the committees and to
change again if necessary. The
city attorney supported the state
ment of the mayor and the pro
testing councilman subsided. The
meeting then adjourned on mo
tion of Thompson.

ments were served. The lodge is
preparing to hold their anuual

The matter of the appointment
of a patrolman was not brought
up at the meeting of the city
council last evening owing to the
decision of the councilman to lay*
the appointment over until lat>?‘r.
This decision was announced by
the mayor while the appointment

and no open water was visible.
Predictions are now being made
that there will be ice in the road*

are even willing to hazard a guess
that there will be bergs in the
larbor in July.
