which was all covered In dust to such
an extent that I had to send my suit
to the cleaners the next day, and In
a loud tone declared that "Curfew
shall not ring tonight." I don't
know whether It did ring or not. I
guess It had already done Its ringing
because It was late before the coun
cilmen got started doing business
and snyway some of the councilmen
hnd nlready been put to bed. I guess
because two of them were not there
and one of the was the one who wns
not there on Tuesday night because
he liked his little cot too well

there might be some fireworks set
off and I wanted to see the illumi

council in connection with hiB com
pany's claim against the city for
maintenance and Incidental expenses
upon the automobile rented by the
city through former Mayor Romig
The bill had been turned down by
the council at a previous session.
This is the account which was used
for political purposes against the
former mayor in the recent city cam
paign. Mr. Coursey explained to the
council that so far as he was con
cerned it was a just account and i
that the council had ratified the con-!
tract made with the Keeler-Coursey
Company, even thdugh the old coun
cil had refused the former mayor
permission to rent a car, by reason
of the fact that the old council had
paid the bills as presented from
month to month. For that reason
(00 company, said Mr. Coursey, was
justified in believing the mayor had
authority. The council referred the
bill to the claims committee for con
sideration at the next meeting.
C. L. Drake, owner of the Drake
Hotel, presented a claim ot the coun
cil for $r 00 damages as the result
of the breaking down of a door in
the basement of his hotel by former
Night Policeman Wheeler while In

escaped from him. The bill was
turned down.
