COUNCIL MEETING
The meeting of the city council last
night developed into quite an inter
i sting affair and the proceedings were
listened to with great attention by a
small crowd gathered to hear the de
liberations. ltoss was absent at roll
call but put in appearance before the
clerk concluded the minutes of the
previous meeting. There were no ob
jefions to the Journal as read and it
was duly approved.
I’nder the head of reports of city
officers, the city physician reported
that the two patients in the hospital
would soon be out.
Rose, on behalf of the. police com
mittee announced that seven arrests
had been made during the month and
also that stock owners had been warn
ed to prevent their animals from run
ning loose as some complaints had
been made.
McAllister, of the fire committee,
announced that the fire department
had responded to one call. It was
a false alarm and nothing could be
learned concerning the identity of the
parly turning in the call.
Rose reported that the special com
mittee appointed for the purpose had
conferred with the Moose concerning
the selection of a plot in the city
cemetery and it section 120x60 had
been selected north of the vault. He
moved that the same should be al
lowed and it was so ordered.
Roteet reported that the commit
tee appointed to confer with the pow
ci company concerning an extension
of the pumping contract had secured
three proposals from Manager Mc
Connell. The propositions were read
by the clerk and showed that the com
pany was willing to meet the city in
any reasonable manner. The first
proposal provided for furnishing boil
er capacity, auxiliaries and fuel tanks
for a term of one year at the rate of
$ 1.000 and to lease the Gold Hill build
ing for installation of the apparatus
for the additional sum of $360 per
annum, the city to look after the
plant.
Proposal No. 2 was practically the
same as the contract in effect for the
past year. The price for service from
August 1, 1916, to November 1, 1917,
totaled $5,825.
Proposal No. 3 embraced an exten
sion of the present contract from
August 1 to November 1 at a stated
price of $375 per month.
Rttrgh moved that proposal number
three be accepted with the privilege
of accepting proposal No. 2 for a
year if considered advisable.
McAllister objected, stating that he
thought it no use to pay the company
$375 per month as the city could in
stall its own plant for practically the
same amount. Burgh replied that the
contract was up and the city would
be without fire protection if a tem
porary deal was not made with the
company. Manager McConnell of the
power company addressed the council
staling that it was necessary for him
to know at once what the city in
tended to do. If It was intended to
continue the contract for another year
he must send to the outside for ma
terial and equipment for certain im
provements which were essential.
Considerable argument followed but it
was at length resolved to hold a meet
ing Monday next to make final de
cision.
Mayor Blake announced that he
considered the bid submitted for fur
nishing city printing exorbitant and,
therefore, vetoed the contract accept
ed at the last meeting. The council
diil not see it that way, however,
and passed the matter over his head,
all voting in the affirmative on roll

call.
The Burgh motion was also ap
proved.
Bills, including the city pay roll
for July, in the sum of $2,071.75 were
read. Bose moved that the same lie
paid under a suspension of the rules
after having been approved by the
finance committee.
The mayor objected. He thought
the labor bills should lie paid and the
rest laid over until the following
meeting. This led to some discussion
of the twice a month meeting plan
i ml formed the ground work for the
adoption of a resolution later in the
meeting to resume weekly sessions.
The mayor finally withdraw his ob
jection to the hills being paid after
approval and it was so ordered.
The matter of the application for a
lighting franchise, presented at the
last meeting, was brought up and on
motion of Hose it was ordered that it
lie laid on the table for one week.
Bills approved by the finance com
mittee in the sum of $155.-11 were read
by the clerk and ordered paid on mo
tion of Ru rgh and Ross.
Under the head of new business,
McAllister spoke on the pumping
plant matter stating that the city
could install its own plant for a small
sum. He thought the Igi France en
gine should be installed over the well
on the recently purchased lot where
it would be ready in an emergency and
to his way of thinking would be fully
efficient for all the needs of the city.
The balance of the members were
somewhat skeptical and Rose remark
ed that if McAllister thought he could
install a plant in fifteen days and
(iitld show that it could supply till the
city’s needs, the city should pay him
twice the amount he declared it would
cost. If McAlister averred that the
plant would cost only $750, the city
ihouhl lie perfectly willing to pay him
twice that sum if he could produce
the plant in a period of two weeks.
McAllister said no more.
Burgh then stated that the system
of meeting twice a month was en
tirely unsatisfactory. The council
should meet every two weeks. Rose
igreed with him and thought that the
rules should be changed. Ross then
proposed that the rules be changed
to meet every Monday and it was
finally so decided, the change to fie
ratified next Monday.
Rose then moved that the council
adjourn until the next Monday and
it was so ordered.

Considerable speculation has been
. iused by the failure of the city
council to take any action to protect
the city from tires pending the con
elusion of arrangements relative to
the extension of the pumping con
Iract. At the present time the city
is practically devoid of fire protec
tion as far as the municipal govern
ment is concerned. The council has
signified its intention to accept a cer
tain feature of the proposals submit
ted by tlu power company but as it
is expressly stipulated in the said
proposals that they are not binding
until contracts are duly signed and
executed, the city has no claim on
the company for services until a con
tract is signed and delivered. Up to
the time of writing this lias not been
done so the city is virtually without
protection unless through the good
graces of the power company. Wheth
er or not the council proposes to at
tend to the matter before the next
meeting we do not know. It is known
however, that the public are decidedly
apprehensive in the meantime.
To learn the true situation, the
