Quite a discussion came up when
the city attorney asked for $50 to
carry on the proceedings in court
against Messrs. Murphy and Thede
who have been notified by the city to
move from First avenue and make
way for the entrance to the new
wharf. Some of the councilmen ex
pressed the belief that the private
owners of the dock should meet that
expense. Sauers objected to the city
inflicting any hardship on old settlers
like the two men named and Dougher
ty thought that the city should not be
asked to take the initiative in the
matter. The question was finally
laid over for a week.
Graef suggested that the city
should purchase some chemical fire
engines and have them distributed all
over town where they could be found
handy to the chief parts of the city.
Sauers said, however, that such en
gines must be kept in warm places
but Graef rather pressed his point
and the question of building a city
hall came up, a resolution to that ef
fect being passed. Dubreuil moved
that the sum of $5,000 be laid aside
for the purpose but after a discussion
nothing was done. The report of the j
auditor, Ward James, was accepted
and the bonds of the treasurer were
fixed at $10,000 and those of the
magistrate at $1,000.
Sauers Vice-President.
Mr. Sauers was unanimously elect
ed president pro. tern. The names of
Mr. Torrey and Mr. Dougherty were
mentioned but neither apparently de
sired to run in opposition to Mr.
Sauers.
Sauers moved that each fireman be
paid two dollars and a half every time
they answer a fire alarm when water
is used but the city attorney pointed
out that an ordinance had already fix
ed another compensation which must
stand until repealed. It was also de
cided to put uniforms on the chief of
police and the chief of the lire de
partment.
A discussion came up regarding
the dredging of Lowell creek by the
commission and the city and the
street committee was instructed to
take up the matter with the En
gineering commission.
The chief of police was instructed
to notify the owners of horses that
they must be kept away from the
city proper.
The appointment of a city engineer
and a patrolman was laid over for the
present.
