The case of the city of Nome
.s. Botts attracted a good sized
audience to the municipal court
| oom yesterday afternoon at four
! /clock but tlie attendants re
ceived but little reward for their
pains as the defendant was not
>n hand. The city magistrate
hereupon declared the bail giv
ti to insure appearance forfeited
to thc city. The case involved
in alleged violation of the terms
if ordinance 150 in that the de
fendant is the owner of several
cabins in the restricted district.
:ollowing the failure of the d*’*
endant to appear, the city attor
ney asked that a bench warrant
be issued but Judge Grimm de
cided to take the matter under
tdvisement. The judge frarikly
admitted that he did not under
stand what it was all about de
spite the efforts of the city at- J
torney to enlighten him by stat-H
iug that the women occupying
ho..ms in the restricted district
were paying exhorbitant rents
and he tl ought the landlords
should be compelled to refrain i
from exac'ng undue charges on
properly devoted to such pur
pose;. Judge Grimm said he did ;
not see where the city was re~
t|uired to fix a schedule of what
charges should be made. Hje
also stated that the very exist
ence of the place was illegal and
no amount of rent reduction
would destroy the illegality. The
city attorney, by way of reply,
contended that he wasnotexactly
in favor of trying to abolish
prostitution, he was opposed, to
any one deriving accessible prof
its as a result of catering to that
evil. The matter was argued
pro and con for some time be
fore Judge Grimm finally decid
ed that he would consider the
case further before issuing the
desired warant. At a later pe
riod the bench warrant wag re
fused. m

CITY COUNCIL ADOS
TO ORDINANCE LIST
Councilman Burgh, woh is at
present on the sick list, was the
n ly one of the city dads who
.'silt d to respond to roll call
when Mayor Blake called the
s xtcenth common council to or
der last night.
The minutes were read and
approved and there were no
communications Councilman
Rose, chairman of the finance
committee, recommended that
he city accept the sum of fifty
|jllars in full payment of the
.axes offered by A1 Orland on
certain properties taxed at $73.
The recommendation was em
bodied in a motion to the same
iffect and duly passed on roll
call.
Councilman Thompson of the
ixilice committee said that he
had granted permission to Doc
Kemp to place an advertising
ign across the street in front of
he Nonpariel store but, as signs
>f this character were contrary
to the city ordinances, he asked'
that the council either approve
ir discontinue the same.
He announced that he would
ask the council to instruct the
city attorney to prepare an ordi
nance requiring messengers in
the red light district, to obtain
a license and also co-operate
with the police committee in the
reparation of rules and regula
ions for the control of the re
stricted section.
Council McAllister of the fire
and water committee reported
that the water system was now
in good shape. There were a few
leaks but none of any conse
quence.
Claims and accounts against
the city in the sum of $670.30, in
which was included the bill of
the city auditor for $350, for his
labor in checking up the city
books, preparing the delinquent
tax roll, etc., were read by the
clerk. Thompson moved that all
labor bills be paid and the rest
referred to the finance commit
tee, but the huge size of the au
ditor’s bill caused that important
feature of the claim account to
be also referred to the finance
committee The balance of the
labor accounts were ordered
paid.
Councilman Thompson then
submitted an ordinance prohibit
ing the maintenance and occu~
nancy of delapidated buildings
and fixing penalties for violation
thereof. Under a suspension oi
the rules the measure was read
•he second time and_ adopted.
Councilman Poteet presented an
ordinance prohibiting the use of
Hhe city sewers during the win
ter season from November I to
May 1 and fixing penalties for
violation. After reading by the
clerk, Poteet moved that the or-,
(finance be laid on the table for
on week. It was so ordered.
Thompson then asked that his
-esolution of the previous meet
ing providing for the sale of cer
tain lots to W. J. Rowe for the
sum of $36 be taken from the
table and placed upon the road
to final passage. The list of
properties mentioned in the res
olution included lots 1 to 12 in
clusive in blocks 113 to 120 in
clusive and lots numbered from
3 to 12 inclusive in block 121.

After being read by the clerk,
the same was adopted.
Councilman McAllister who is
very much interested in the mu
nicipal utilities proposals re
marked that the council was do
ing nothing in the matter of the
city coal yard, pumping plant,
ttc., and suggested that the aid-1
'rmanic body get busy by send
ing a message to A. H- Moore
vith a view to inducing that per
| -on to bring in coal. The coun
| man said that Moore was intend
| ing to send in two boats and it
would probably be a good op~
f oortunity to secure a supply of
j coal. lie was informed by the j
j nayor that such a message has
been forwarded.
Councilman Thompson then
brought up the matter of the
r<emp street sign and consider*
tble discussion followed anent
"he propriety of granting special
•Sennits to string advertising
banners across the public thor
oughfares. McAllister insisted
'hat the ordinance should either
be strictly adhered to or else re
pealed. The matter was finally
'-ettled by Thompson moving that
"he sign be allowed to remain for
a period of ten days and the
owner be instructed to raise the
same about ten feet so that an
unobstructed view of the town
clock might be obtained. The
motion was duly seconded and
passed. Thompson then pre
ented the matter of li
censing the messengers and on
his motion the city attorney was
i asked to prepare an ordinance
for that purpose. Thompson 1
then moved that the police com-!
mittee be granted authority to!
adopt and enforce certain regula
tions and rules for the red light
district. lie made no mention
of the nature of the suggested
\ -egfflations but as the council
did not seem in the least inquisi
tive the matter had evidently
been gone over in caucus. Any
way, there was no dissent and
the motion was duly passed.
W. H Buckmaster, who was
present in the audienae then re
nuested permission to address
the council concerning the long
bar which was the subject ot
~ome discussion at the last meet
ing. Buckmaster said that he
had sold the bar to Holt and
submitted its early history as
proof of his ownership. Mr.
Buckmaster seemed to infer that
some one had suggested that he
had stolen the bar himself and
:ntimated to the council that he
had not been long enough in the
saloon business to become a
petty thief. The matter was re
ferred to the street committee
Councilman Thompson then
moved that the council meet 1
every <two weeks during the
summer season, commencing
June 5- There was no immediate
second and Councilman McAl
lister entered a vigorous objec
tion, stating that there was lots
of very vital business to be at
tended to yet, particularly with
respect to the city pumping,
lighting, coal yard proposals and
he thought that weekly meetings
should continue until at least the
first of August. Rose remarked
that no action was taken on
those matters in meetings any

way so it could make no differ
ence whether the council met
weekly or monthly. McAllister
was obdurate, however, and de
clared that the term of the coun
cil would be over before any
thing was done if things were
going to be continually delayed.
Thompson asserted that it was
not his idea to postpone consid
eration of the matters mention
ed. He thought they could be
Handled much better by commit
tees than by the full council
anyway. Mayor Blake had re
marked with a resigned air that
Jie motion had failed of a sec
ond and was seemingly about to
call a halt to the rag chewing
when Councilman Poteet applied
.irst aid by suddenly seconding
the motion- The mayor at once
passed the buck and Thompson
respond “aye” right enthusaistic
ally. The others said nothing
that could be distinguished and
the mayor declared the motion
carried. Councilman McAllister
was still loath to let the council
get away without doing some-,
thing about the pumping plant
natter and wanted to hear from
Mr. Hull who he thought was in
the audience. But, it developed
that Mr. Hull was elsewhere as
lie failed to rspond to a call.
The meeting then adjourned.
