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

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.

the report of the state fishers from

the course of the report the superin

was compelled to do this on account of
low water. This is the principal fish

do well there.
