City Council. The city council met in regular session h;st Monday evening with Messrs Murphy and Weber absent. As usual, tho min utes of meetings since the last regular meeting were read, and adopted after a few corrections. A petition from residents on south Sixtli street, asking the building of side walk on the west side of that street be tween Rock and Marble, to connect the parts of walk already down was read, and on a motion ot Mr. Greusel the prayer of the petition was ordered granted. A petition from residents on Wintersteen Hill asking the repairing of Marble street between 1st and 2nd was, on motion of Mr. "White referred to the committee on streets alleys and bridges, with power to act. A petition asking the council to open Main ttreot to the fair grounds was laid on the table. Hon. R. B. Windham made a verbal statement for the B. & M. Co. He said the company had received orders to con struct a sidewalk from its present ternd nis on Billings avenue to the southern limit of the shops, and as most ot the people to be benefitted by it lived on the opposite side of the street, the company thought it was asking too much of them, but, if the city would contract the walk on the other (west) side of the street they would pay half of the expense. Mr, Greu sel who formerly made the motion to lay the walk on the east side of the street said it was because it would cost much more to place it on the west side on ac count of the grading to be done. The matter was referred to the committee em streets, alleys and bridges. A petition from the owners of blocks lo;.l5G-7-S-'J of block 3 Donclan's addition, asking permission to fence in an alley, which did not confer to the al leys in the adjoining blocks, was referred to the committee on streets, alleys and bridges.

An ordinance providing special taxes for the payment of the city's expenses during the coming year was read three times and passed under a suspension of the rules. Some talk was then engaged in about the teamsters of the city who failed to take out the necessary license, but no new orders were made in reference to the matter. Mr. Greusel moved that the city clerk be instructed to advertise for bids for printing the city's ordinances in book form. After some discussion the motion passed. On motion of Mr. Dutton the mayor was instructed to appoint a pound mast er and select a location for the pound. Mr. Greusel then brought up the ques tion of furnishing the fire dep't with means to represent themselves at the state tournament. No action was taken on the matter, however and council adjourned.

Perhaps the city council is doing an act of economy when it semis away from home for I i s for printing tho city ordi nances. The Journal is at least willing to give the members of the council credit for the desire to get the work done at the cheapest price possible. Rut, granting that the work can be. done at a much less figure abroad than at home, is it to the best interests of the c ity to have it done so The Journal, though it is no doubt prejudiced in the matter, thinks it can see why it would be better to have the printing done at home better not only for the printers of Plattsmouth. but for those who depend upon the home press as news nsediu ns and better for the repu tation and stability of the city. There is such a thing as being entirely too eco nomical, and the evil effects of it are every day apparent. Journal. The Hi:i:ai.d can only endorse the above. Every person is interested in their own affairs and if this meets the eye of any one who is suffering from the effects of a torpid liver, we will admit that he is interested in getting well.
