THE CITY COUNCIL. At the meeting of the council last night, all members were present but Tracy. After the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and approved, the mayor remem bered that he had forgotten to ap point a board of health, and he appojnted Councilmen Schatz and Thomson to serve with himself as members of that board. The tramp nuisance was consid ered, and as a result it was deter mined to work on the streets all hoboes who are convicted and fined in the police court. The mayor was authorized to select some per son as overseer or herder when such persons are at work, his pay not to exceed the rate of $45 per month. There is now seven hoboes in jail, and they will be put to work at once, The herder bonds of Ralph New ton, Alex Brown, Ralph Dolson and Minor Hinman were read and approved. A communication from the secre tary of the First ward hose com pany stated that W. J. Hendy had served five years and was entitled to a certificate of service. The clerk was instructed to issue Mr. Hendy a certificate. The clerk read a communication from A. G. Knight, of Omaha, ask ing for certain information relative to the city with the view of estab lishing an electric light plant. The clerk will furnish the desired infor mation. The clerk read four communica- tionswhich he had received from the mayor, stating that he had sworn in Messrs. Cohagen, Tobas and Lloyd as special policemen and 'Bill" Morgan as marshal. Coun cilman Evans held tint the oath of office administered to Morgan was equivalent to an appointment, and moved that the roll be called on the confirmation of Morgan. Thomson opposed such a proceeding and moved that the communication be placed on file. The motion of the latter prevailed. The finance committee reported that it had examined the books rf the city treasurer and found them correct, The treasurer was author ized to publish a financial report. Councilman Thomson announced that he had a very important mat- ter to brincr before the council. For some years past the council had neglected to make an estimate of expenses of the city for each year and pass an appropriation ordi nance. The statutes provide that that this should be done but the council had failed to do so, and un less such action was taken all war rants issued by the city were worthless if anyone desired to con test the payment of the same. The city attorney read the law in regard to the matter, and also gave his opinion. The council thought it best to mane an estimate of ex- penses and pass an appropriation ordinancp, and will Ijold a a meet ing this evening to make arrange ments o ttyat end. Councilman Evans njade a motion that all refuse luniber taken from crosswalks and bridges be sold at two dollars per wagon load. The motion prevailed. The city attorney made a report on the fee bills in the cases of Savajre vs. Patterson and the water company against the city. In the former bill there was an item of S10 which could be disallowed. As the latter case had not yet been cried, the payment of the costs could be delayed. Both bills were placed on file. The city treasurer presented the fQ0Vin statement of the city's jphf.. ion? warrants tinnaid S2.30. 1895 warrants unpaid $7.72. 1896 warrants unpaid $2,546.31, accumu lated interest on warrants $164-00, a saving of 14 per cent ( ; c 09 " " it ii u 25 " " it ( go i it II QQ It (( U II QQ U U ii ( u 43 " " 100 " " II II II QQ II U ii u a ii ii cents. 81.00.. ib m ib bills approved to May 1st So, 937.34.
