MITCHELL BILICICH, Prop.
Last night's session of the Common
Council was a busy one, and the meet
ing lasted from eight o’clock until
close to eleven. The entire board
was present with the single exception
ui Councilman fckdilotkau.
The ilrst question of importance
that came up for discussion was the
matter of accepting the work of coat
ing with concrete the piles under Mis
sion street. This work had been I
let by contract to Lee McWilliams j
some time ago, and Councilman King 1
and Walker, both members of the
Street Committee, stated that they
were dissatisfied with the work, in
that it failed to come up to the spec- '
ifientions in some instances. The
Mayor told of his examining the work !
and finding it was not as expected. '
Mr. McWilliams teas present and ac
knowledged that the work on some
of the piies was not quite as good us
L might la- because < the tact that
had been unable to get down to bed .
rock owing to the fact that many of .
the piles had u footing of plank. Be- I
sides this he stated that in pouring
the concrete, the gravel had run
thicker on one side of the piles at j
times than at the other, but he was j
of the opinion that a couple of buck- !
ets of cement would fix any one of ;
the piles according to pecifications. i
The mend ers of the council did not i
agree with him on this, and • ouneil- j
man iV.up made the statement that
if tlie work had been done for him as
a private citizen lie would not ac
cept it, so he could not see that he
could approve of i as a member of i
the Council, lie was in favor, though, t
to settle the matter, of paying Mr.
McWilliams two thirds tho contract
price and let the City see what couid,
ue done with the faulty work. This
ale Williams objected to,and tho mat
ler rested there for tho time being.
As a member of tho Health and
CoUeo Committee Councilman Kyus
reported that tho old shack at the
earner of Dock and Kduiond street
nad been pulled down, and as soon
as permission Could be secured, tho
old .uiderson shack oil Dock street
a. ..i-t follow suit, and Street Com
missioner Shark stated that such per
il, ission had been secured from Miss
r.dmouil, and he planned to pull
die building down while at work on
tne repairs on Dock street.
For the Finance Committee, Coun
ilniun King stated that tho Town
now owed the Miners & Merchants
Dank .re,07s.lt!, and had a cash bal
ou hand of $002.71.
The Town Magistrate reported that
during the month of June ten men
had been brought before him on
charges of ''drunk and disorderly,”
and that they had each been fined
$ll.',.00 or five days. Two paid their
fines, the balance had labored for the
Town each for five days.
Street Commissioner Shark report
ed that Dock street was in bad shape,
and after looking the matter over
with the Street Committee it had
been decided that lie should put a
gang to work next week to repair
same. The Street Committee had
decided to use cedar posts of not
less than 12 inch tops.
