Tiii'BEST GRABB 0P -'QQGQB, BI4j THEM At RBASQNABIJB PBI016, AND WARRANT CITY COUNCIL EBOCUEDINQS. Each individual alderman was in his place Monday night with a:zeal indicatingfcis official salarymfsig-ht. Mayor VonGoetz was attending- a meeting of the board of education, and R. D. Thomson occupied the chair. . The first perplexing problem with which the. local statesmen were con fronted, was the application of Cody & Dillon to be allowed to bring their irrigation ditch into the north part of the city. After a number of mo tions and counters, the movement was finally knocked out, put to sleep or hypnotized by referring the mat ter to the committee on public im provements. The next bout was with there quest of Valentine Scharmann to be allowed to euclose a portion of a street oyer in the Third ward in order that he might grow trees therein along his property. After a little light and unscientific spar ring the petition was granted. The principal event of the even ing next occurred. It was the peti tion of the saloon keepers that in view of the business depression of the past two years, and for divers other reasons, that their occupation tax be reduced. W. H. Johnston then made a motion that the prayer of applicants be granted to the ex tent of S200 whether this was to be the gross reduction, or was to be al-c lowed to each petitioner, the motion did not specifically state. A reso lution was then drafted by the city attorney in, accordance with the above, except that the amount was to be credited upon the tax for this year, on account or tne race mat tne former ordinance under which the saloon men were compelled to give down was invalid, it lacking suffi cient votes to properly adopt the same. Although no doubt it was the evident intention of the council to afford a special privilege to the individuals now engaged in the liq uor business, yet in view of the rec ord as thus made' by the lawmakers it is a debatable questjoji whether- any other person,desirin&tojragage in the business"'' cannot secure the same reduction. The question of trying to force a street through the property of H. C. Rennie, B. Beer, and others af the southwest part of the city, al though the city attorney warned the council that the records failed to show that a road or street had ever been established there, and that the only way in which it could be obtained was by the city proving usage thereof for the above purpose. Though it was plain to be seen that the attorney was loth to attempt this procedure, yet as some of the alderman appeared to. know more law than the disciple of Blackstoue, he was instructed to proceed. Dur ing the discussion of the aboye the fact was mentioned that the alley in the block just west of the next mayor's residence had been closed for a number of years was men tioned, yet no action was taken. A communication directed to the chief of the fire department relative the furnishing of electric registry boxes for the hose houses was then read and ordered placed on file. The bill of French & Baldwin for $125 for revising the city ordinances was then approved. A number of other bills for material and labor met the same good fortune. President of the council then ap pointed election boards $nd police men for the municipal election to day, after which the council, adjourned. THE Y M C A CONCERT. The Y. M. C.

Several bridges which span later als leading across highways in this locality need looking after b' some one without delay. Pocket gophers are quite plenti ful in this section this spring, and only for one reason they would work great havoc upon corn-fields and that is they are too much like a great many men, they don't take to water very readily and consequently can't survive, even in an irrigated country. Several loads of potatoes from this community were marketed at the county metropolis last week at fair prices..
