carrying forward the western Ne
braska Irrigation Fair. The ex
pense of getting the grounds and
buildings in readiness for the fair
is placed at $5,000, and this dona
tion from the county which is

tion and the outlook for the fair

donation and the liberal pledges
secured from citizens -and irriga
tion companies, there is now no

The city council met in regular
session last eveninsr. all members
being present.
After the minutes of several pre
vious meetings had been read and
approved, the judiciary committee
reoorted that it had examined the
wr
bonds of the applicants for saloon
licenses and recommended that the
licenses be granted.
Judge Neville appeared before
the council and asked that the
occuoation iax on saloons ' be re
duced from $500 to $300. This con
cession was asked'on the grounds
that money was scarce, business
dull, and it was almost impossible
for the saloon men to raise the sum
demanded under the-ordinance. If
the occupation tax was reduced to
5300 he thought the . saloon men
would be willing to contribute lib
erallv to the irrieration fair. The
applicants for licenses were present
ana euca wcuiuu icluiu as wiiniijj
to donate at least sioo to the fair if
tne reaucuon as requesiea wus
granted. The council seemed favor
able to the reduction, and Thomson
inrrnd tired a motion to the effect
that applicants should be granted
a license for the year 1896 upon the
payment of $500 into the school
fund and an additional sum of $300
fnto the city as an occupation tax.
The resolution was adopted bv a
vote of five to one, Scott voti
against the adoption of the resolu
tion. The ordinance provides that
the occupation tax shall b $500, but
by adopting the resolution it was
deemed unnecessary to repeal the
ordinance.
The mayor's Arbor Day procla
mation was read to the council. It

The bonds of the applicants for
saloon licenses were formally pre
sented to the council, were approved
and the clerk instructed to issue
the licenses upon the pavment of
the sum authorized bv the resolu-
tion previously adopted.
The clerk was instructed to write
to a Chicago firm for prices on
street lamps.
After allowing a number of small
bills, and approving others, among
the latter being the expenses of the
