Council Passes Ordinances Applying
To Taxes And Their Collection
U took the Town Council until
close to midnight last night to dla
ose of the business matters up be
.ore it. In the first place they were
.-he. is-.e getting started owing to
sue tact that Councilman King did
aot arrive from Hadley, whither he
aad been on a business trip, untii
after nine o'clock, and as Couneil
u.ar. Paup is at Hoe Point driving
piles, there could be no meeting un
:J after his arrival.
When the meeting was called to or
der. the different committees made
their reports, among them being Coun
cilman Ryus as chairman of the
Police Committee, who stated that the
Chief of Police had followed the in
structions of the Council in arrest
tag several of the objectionable char
ters around town, who after trial
cfore Judge PSamley had been put
to work on the streets. He also re |
rs rter that Judge Plumley had made j
the statement that the ordinances ‘
ere not sufficiently plain to clean ;
at the objectionable characters fre
quenting houses of ill-repute in the
town, sal the committee had aeeord
-_!y asked hint to draw up an
pen'sent to the eisting ordinances
a tfc:~ subject which be had done.
At the request of Mr. Ryus,
.. ge Plumley read the draft for
n ordinance he had prepared c*n the
subject, which was then on motion
jives the three readings required by
v- nnc ranee i as Ordiannce Xo. 110. j
The ' hief of Police, who is ex-j
ff: -i h-ilth officer, reported that;
"lanv -f the rubbish littered lots in |
the town had been cleaned up during i
the past ten days, but that several
property owners refused to act along
. .13 line, and he planned accordingly
n.aae an example of one of them
arresting him.
The Street Commissioner reported
. regress on street repairs, and stated
that old lumber had been sent up to
• he cemetery, where it would be used
for path malting.
The report of the Municipal Mag ;
-t'ato was read, showing that there j
had been eight cases before him j
luring the month of April. Seven of
the defendants had been found guilty,
while one case had been dismissed.
$17.00 had been collected in fines,
■ad the penalties in the balance had
een worked out on the city streets.
The Chief of Police reported that
the fact that work on the streets
•onfronted petty offenders ‘ was hav
ing the desired effect, and that con
ditions generally were much improved.
On the question as to the status
of the Police Magistrate with regard,
to the chief of Police. Mayor Beegle
suggested that for the" - purpose of
avoiding the possibility of friction or
•r.»ss purposes in the future, It were
! - st that the Police Committee he re
sponsible for the actions of the
Chief of Police and those under him.
He said he did not believe there was
a single member of the committee or
ofthe council but desired to clean up
the town and keep it clean, and that
none of them were desirous of appear
ir.-j in the limelight or making any
bid for popularity, their only thought
being to do their duty, und if any
of the council or of the Town's of
ficers had anything to say, now was
the time to say it.
As Municipal Magistrate, Judge
i lumley stated that he was perfectly
in accord with the Mayor and the
Council in their "Clean Up” move
ment, and to that end had drawn up
Ordinance No. 110.
Bills for the mouth were read and
approved and warrants ordered drawn
tor same.
A petition was read from property
owners on Bawden street and the
gulch beyond, asking that the Town
lav a sewer along the gulch and
pledging to pay their part. An inves
tigation of their number showed that
■css than one-half the property own
ers had signed the petition, so no an
ion could be taken-, but the opinion
{ the Council was that several of
those who had refused to sign the
■etition and are maintaining nuisanc
es in the shape of open cesspools and
he like, should be brought to time
"or so doing.
Ordinance No. Ill, amending the
time for the assessment and collec
ting on municipal taxes was then
read and passed.
Charles Deppe was unanimously el
ected Town Assessor, his compensa
ion therefore being fixed at $150.
The condition of Main street then
'•ante up for discussion and thc-Street
j Committee was instructed to prepare
plans for improving same and to see
that a petition to that effect be
j ••irculated among the property, own
i rs who would be affected.
