THE NBW5 PRIfSTBRY FOR UP - OFFICE ON II MEETING Of THE CITY COUNCIL City Fathers Dispose of the Usual Grist of Business. The Fir oy Want to Know What the Council Will Io With Them in the t uture Employes of the Klectrlc Light Company Will et No More Free Coal Other Notes of the Meeting. The regular meeting of the city council was held la9t night with j.U members present except Heisel of the Second. City Clerk Kerr read the minutes of the previous minutes which were approved. A communication was read from President Fitt of the fire depart merit askiner what disposition the council expected to make of them He stated that the department had not elected officers for the reason that they were desirous of learning of the council's actions in the matter. It was suggested that the department be referred to the ordinance which was recently passed governing it in the future. A communication signed by about everv merchant on Main street was read by the clerk asking the council to pass an ordinance imposing heavier license on transients selling goods in the city. At the present time the license is $20 per year. The merchants signing the petition wanted to increase it to $300. Upon motion of Miller the matter wes referred to the license committee The report of the chief of police showed the arrest of one man and his subsequent acquittal. The report of the city treasurer showed a balance on hand March 1 of $12,854.52, The claims committee returned the following claims against the city: A Smith, drayage 5 19 J V Egenberger, wood 3 50 L Kil3ow, hauling dogs 3 3u P I Hansen, salary 40 00 ohn Fitzpatnck. same SO ohn Murray, same - , ( 00 'ublic library, rent 33 Ou Ebersole Sc Sans, bolts 1 50 E Kildow 3 45 H E Hillis. court costs.. 34 John 1). jourdon, same 7 CO Gas & Electric Light Co.. lease 233 Charles Grimes, expenses 2? Matthew Gering, same 34 75 Upon motion the report was adopted and the clerk instructed to draw war rants for the various amounts. Barwick made a kick on paying 13.50 per cord for wood and also wanted to know why so much wood was pur chased. The latter was satisfactorily explained and it was decided to look up a new market for future purchases. Wheu the claims of the employes of the electric light works were read Wbita made a motion that the claims be allowed less the coal whicii they had used, slating the men had been using company coal. This brought up quite a heated discussion. It ap pears that under the old management the men were furnished fuel free and as nothing was said about the matter when the city took charge of the plant they expected the same privi leges. White's motion was amended by striking out the portion requiri g the men to pay for the coal that h been used, but requiring them to p y for it in the future. The motion as amended carried. There was another big batch of claims against the city for fighting the Burlington fire. They were all referred to the claims committee ex cept that of John Kildow which, upon roll call, was ordered paid. Sidewalk resolutions were presented by Parmele and Miller and the same ordered built. The ordinance regulating the man agement and rates to be charged by the Gaa and Electric Light company came up for its third reading, and after some amendments, was adopted. An ordinance providing a penalty for breakiug telephone, telegraph or electric wires or polls or destroying any public property was ordered read second and third times and placed on its final passage. The maximum fine is $25 and the minimum fine $-5. Cummins of the Third thought the scale of prices on burying deceased canines was too high, especially dur ing the present time when Chief Fitz patrick was laying so many of them low. Other members of the council agreed- with Mr. Cummins and the price was reduced 50 per cent, the price now being 25 cents per dog. The council's attention was called to the condition of the streets at Sixth and Pearl, where there is a big jump on of the pavement. The chief of police was ordered to fill in the place with rock. Cummins thought it would be a good ' idea to hare .the ordinance printed in book form in order that members could find what had been . mm a mm mm ma mm mm mm' m m LOWER MAIN done in the past. Slater and Miller thought this a needless expense at the present time. Mayor Gutsche thought the matter t-hould be looked into and appointed as a committee to investi gate it White, Miller and Sattler. White made a motion to have, the treets Hushed while the mud was soft. This motion met considerable opposi tion, but upon the call of the roll the motion prevailed. These being no other business be fore the council, upou motion or Sattler, the meeting adjourned. BRIEFLY TOLD. C. A. Marshall, Dentist. Subscribe for The News. Farm loans T. II . Pollock.
