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 Dawson and Lincoln Coun
ty Ditch and Irrigation company
met at Chas. Morell's office last
Saturday and are furthering the
plan of district irrigation for about
fifty thousand acres of land lying
just north of and tributary to our
city. The average estimate of
capital required to build this ditch
is about $250,000, and by voting
bonds to the amount of five dollars
per acre they think they will be
able to irrigate this vast scope of
beautiful country adjacent to our
city. The enterprise should have
all the encouragement possible.
