COUNCILMEN IN
ABUSYSESSION
DO MUCH WORK
1
The council meeting last night held
in the city hall was a busy one. Many
important matters were discussed pro
ami con, either tabled or action re
sulted, ami several interesting itucms
were cleared up. Frank J. Cotter was
in the chair and all councilmen were
present as follows: Crawford, J>u
breuil, Lechner, Sexton and Sauers.
City Clerk Poehlmann and City At
torney Green were in attendance at
the meeting. The minutes of the two
special meetings and one regular were
read and approved. The special com
mittee on the Lowel creek improve
ment reported progress and was con-,
tinued with three new propositions to
work upon.
Fire Chief Issue
A sharp discussion resulted when
the matter of lire chief and night pa
trolman was brought up. I). Skyati- j
tis, S. Alexander and J. S. Hoffman
made application for the appointment
as chief and Charles Einsmiller as'
patrolman and night watchman. The
consolidation of the office of lire chief
and patrolman was discussed, opposi
tion expressed against the scheme and
the upshoot of the affair was the ap
pointment of the following committee
to confer with the firemen and report
back regarding a lire chief not being
consolidated with that of patrolman:
Councilman Crawford, Lechner and j
Sauers.
The idea was that the fire boys,
should be allowed to make a recom
mendation regarding who their chief
should be and several councilmen did j
not believe that any man could be se- j
cured to work *24 hours a day as Un
consolidated office would require.
Charles Einsmiller was appointed!
night patrolman.
Taxes against E. 0. Sawyer and L
E. Thompson were ordered refunded
as their property had been destroyed
in the recent freshet. The taxes as-1
sessed against the Episcopal and Luth- j
eran churches were declared illegal, as ;
the properties came under exemption.
Protests Are Made
H. 0. Roberts, manager of the San '
Juan Fishing & Packing Company,
protested payment of taxes when he
remitted his check, declaring that fire
protection and street facilities had not
been given as promised by the city
council. Several councilmen admitted |
that the “con” had been passed and it!
was decided to make good their prom-j
isos in the spring.
Protests from the property owners
on Fifth Avenue, between Adams and
Jefferson, for improvements were pre
sented, the owners claiming that in-j
stead of $25 being assessed against
the various lots as originally agreed
upon, the assessment was $51.75. Va
rious statements were made regard
ing alleged irregularity and Coumil
men Lcchner, Sexton and Sauers were
named as a committee to adjust the
quci.ion without suit resulting as
threatened.
D. C. Brownell was allowed a claim
of $51.72 for timber cut on his prop
erty and lumber used during the Lo-.
well Creek rampage. A large bunch
of miscellaneous bills, salaries and
supplies, were read, O-kcd, and war
rants were ordered drawn. Several
other trifling matters were disposed
of before adjournment at 10:.°»0 o’clock.
