CITY COUNCIL HAS A
LOT OF CONVERSATION
t
At the meeting of the city council
last evening prolonged conversations
took place but nothing worth noting
was done. Derick Lane wants per
mission to clear First avenue for an
approach to the proposed wharf.
Those lights in the school house form
ed again the chief topic. Acting City
Attorney van Felt ruled that the
school board should see to the matter
and not the council. Curtis Morford
explained how the lack of lights hud
been made up for but the council got
back at Sam GratT by once more post
poning the ordinance to prevent “fus
ing up” and stealing of electric light
ing. Some of the council have ap
parently found out that they have
given a better franchise to the
Electric company than it asked for
and they are, naturally enough, a lit
tle bitter.
Jim Hamilton returned yesterday
from a trip out to the Skeen-Lechner
mine at Mile 25.
