With the exception-nl Councilman Hoag
all the city dads were in their ac.cura
| turned places when Mayor Blake called
the second bi-monthly meeting of ihe
common council to order at the city
hall last evening Ross showed up later,
however, and took an active hand In
tne proceedings
As is usually the ease, a large part
of the meeting was devoted to windy
discussions of unimportant things, much
oi which was simply a waste of time
ns l'ar as results were concerned.
After reudlng of the minutes the same
were approved and the city clerk pre
s. nteil a drawing submitted by the Sand

suspension bridge No communication
accompanied the plans and the matter
was handed over to the street committee.
Councilman Thompson, of the police
committee stated that during the past
week the district attorney had practically
taken over Jurisdiction of the restricted
section, "the reason given was that the
city had tailed to observe the request
or the i.istrict attorney in the matter of
limiting the number of inmates therein.
City Attorney O'Neill replied to Thomp

schooner went north hut otherwise there
was nothing doing
Sundry and divers accounts against the
city were read and passed through the
usual course of procedure.
Councilman Burgh then brought up the
loose dog ordinance and thought that '
the same should either ho enforced or
else repealed.
Councilman Thompson stated that tltc
| l,iw was more hone'i 1 t ihe breach than
i • i 'he observance any low. hut if the
council wanted to enforced he yvould se
hat it was All lie wanted was instruc
tions. Mayor Blake came through with
the Instructions and its woe to loose
pups hereafter if they come within range
of official eyes.

of installing a public scale and stated
that lie was not satisfied with the weights
of coal returned when he purchased that
commodity. He then moved that the city
purchase and install a scale in front of
; the city hall.
Mayor Blake wanted to appoint a com
mittee and Thompson moved that a com
mittee l.e appointed to Investigate the
costs and report hack to the council
before further action was taken. Tho
amendment was lost and the council then
voted its approval of the McAlister
motion.

salary of $15 per month and with tho
privilege of hiring a helper at a cost
not to exceed $.10 per month.

wiring was needed and a helper was
necessary.

I brought up and Mr. George James, the
uvitpt', who was present, addressed the i
emtnell on the subject, stating that he
would necept a ten per cent discount on
ihc agreed price <$l.(Ks>) It the same was
paid cash down. A vast amount of dis

special meeting within three days for the
purpose of considering the whole matter
and to make final decision with respect
to the purchase of the lot It was so
ordered
