CITY COUNCIL
IN SESSION
They Enjoy Several Hot Discussions
on Matters Pertaining to City.
Considerable business of public im
portance was transacted last evening
by the council and Mayor Gering made
an appointment to fill the unexpired
term of Councilman Wm. A. White.
For this position he chose ex-County
Commissioner J. P. Falter who was
confirmed in the job by a vote of 7 to 2
those favoring him being Schluntz,
Weber, Sattler, Bookmeyer, Schulof,
Vondran and Mendenhall. The two op
position votes were cast by Steimker
and Neuman. The mayor then made a
number of committee appointments to
fill the vacancies occasioned by Mr.
White's death. Steimker was trans
ferred from the judiciary chairman to
that of finance chairman. Schulof was
chosen for chairman of the judiciary
committee to succeed Steimker and
Falter was appointed on the streets,
alleys, bridges and police committees.
All these changes were agreed to unan
imously. All the members except Bookmeyer
were present when the mayor rapped
for order, and councilman Bookmeyer
made his appearance just as the elo
quent city clerk was in the midst of
reading the minutes of the previous
meeting.
At that portion of the minutes of the
previous meeting wherein the city clerk
was instructed to furnish the chairman
of the judiciary committee with a list
of property owners who had had new
sidewalks laid the past year, Dr. Elster
stopped long enough to faceticiously in
quire of Chairman Steimker if he had
the list which he emphatically asserted
he had. This was all some amusing to
the members.
A petition of sundry citizens asking
for a sidewalk along Chicago avenue,
north to Rock and also complaining of
the conditions at Gold and Tenth
street, was read and on motion referr
ed to the ccuncilmen from the Third
ward. The petition was quite eloquent
and sarcastic in spots and recited that
"forbearance bad ceased tobeavirtue"
among other things. Councilman Book
meyer couldn't see why the matter
should be taken up again, but the
Mayor informed him it was in the hands
of himself and Courcilman Steimker.
Virginia McVicker came o the front
again with a claim for a total of five
hundred dollars damages for some work
Commissioner Janda had done near her
premises on North Sixth street. She
fixed her damages by reason of losing
some valuable trees at one hundred dol
lars while the Commissioner had cer
tainly depreciated the value of her lots
some four hundred dollars by grading
away the earth in such a scandalous
manner. A. L. Tidd appears in the
case as Mrs. McVicker's personal rep
resentative. On motion the claim went
to the judiciary committee.
The finance committee then reported
a list of the claims presented which on
motion was adopted and warrants
ordered issued for the amounts. The
list follows:
Miles Allen, sidewalk $ 20 SO

The mayor inquired of the city en
gineer what the claim of Woodworth
covered, and was informed that it cov
ered ninety-eight per cent of the work
done, less ten per cent.
The report of the chief of police for
August showed sixteen arrests, and
was referred to the police committee.
The street commissioner's report
covering the work done since the last
council meeting went to the street com
mittee without objection.
City Clerk Elster reported that dur
ing the month he had made net collec
tions of $05.30, which he held the
treasurer's receipt for.
City Treasurer Clement reported a
balance in the treasury of $8,207.41, al
hough many of the funds were report
ed as overdrawn. His report went to
the finance committee to be checked
up.
The board of health did not have a
report on file, although the Mayor
stated there was one case of contageous
disease in the city.
The usual monthly report of the con
dition of the fire fighting apparatus
was made by the chief of the fire de
partment, and as usual, it was sent to
the fire and water committee for inves
tigation. Police Judge Archer reported a total
of eleven arraignments, of which one
man was committed to jail, nine had
their fines suspended and one man paid
up. This report went to the police
committee.
Chairman Steimker, of the judiciary
committee, reported adversely on the
claim of the Kraft Clothing company,
and the same was rejected by the
council unanimously.
Mr. Steimker also made some extend
ed remarks upon the permanent walks
built for which no payments had been
made, and made a motion to have the
city clerk certify the list to the county
clerk for placing on the tax roll.
Mr. Steimker also brought up the
matter of collecting the tax for the new
paving, and made a motion that the
treasurer collect all possible of the sum
between now and the next regular
meeting, and that those remaining be
certified to the county clerk for spread
ing on the tax rolls.
The streets, alleys and bridges com
mittee wanted further time on the pe
tition of Virginia McVicker presented
by A. L. Tidd, her attorney, for sundry
damages did her by grading,, and the
time was cheerfully granted them.
They also reported Street Commissioner
Janda's report as O. K.
The police committee, by Chairman
Mendenhall, reported the chief of
poiice's report for July as O. K.
City Attorney Ramsey then rendered
a written opinion to the council rela
tive to the moving of the curbing on
Sixth street. He was of the ' inion
that a new ordinance would be nr-ces-sarp.
re-establishing the grade of the
street before anything further could
be clone, and stated that the probable
effect of the proposed change as to
carrying water and like subjects, were
things to be inquired into but were not
matters of law. His report and opinion
was adopted and placed on file.
At this point the resolution of respect
to the late Councilman White were
adoped by a rising vote, the special
committee, headed by City Attorney
XV. C. Ramsey, presenting them.
Mayor Gering made a few remarks
eulogizing the high character of the
late Mr. White and paying him a tri
bute for his upright and conscientious
course during the time he had occupied
a chair in the council.
The mayor, on motion of Vondran,
appointed the streets, alleys and bridges
committee as a special committee to
examine the new paving previous to
allowing the claim of Woodworth for
$2998.24. This committee consists of
Sattler, Steimker a-:d Falter. The
street commissioner is to accompany
the committee.
Considerable discussion arose as to
the location of the sewer to the Ma
sonic Home, especially as regards its
location relative to the bridge on Elm
street, near Mr. Beeson's. A motion
that the street committee take the
matter up with the county commis-j. Ki
el's, so as to secure county ;iid in t ! .;i t.
direction, carried.
T he mayor callt d jittention to t..
resolution adopted a long time ago t
prohibit street work, and thought it
imperative to revive it and stop the
work. Expenses must be cut clown.
Sattler wanted ten days more work on
necessary repairs, and branched off
into a discussion of the deplorable con
dition of sidewalks in the city. Coun
cilman Frank Neuman took up the
matter of the walk on Rock street
from Sixth to the shops, and insisted
the work ordered be clone. All he ask
ed was that they do the work he asked
for. Mayor Gering pointed out work
that had been done in the Fourth ward,
but Neuman whs insistent that it had
not.
Bookmeyer succeeded in getting some
repairs to the walk, at Eleventh and
Main streets ordered.
Weber then precipitated a larire row
by dilating upon the sidewalk problem.
anu spoke ot the dangers threatening
from damage suits. He moved that
the street commissioner be authorized
to go oyer the city and notify all prop,
erty owners to fix their walks, or, in
default, the city would fix them and
charge it to the property. This brought
the veteran Steimker to his feet in
jiffy. He agreed that conditions were
as Weber represented, but he wanted
the walks torn up when the parties
didn't repair them. He made a savage
onslaught on the street commissioner
and his methods, attacking him as
wasting the city funds and generally
tore that official intc shreds. He then
spoke of the amount due the city and
outstanding, and criticised those e.tizens
who could pay these expenses, but
would not.
Weber thought it better to tear up
the walks in some cases. He also pre
sented the argument that in many cases
the abutting property would not bring
the amount of possible damages, or
even the expense of building the walk,
and here is where Councilman Steimker
fell upon the Second ward statesman,
tooth and nail, and rended his argu
ment to shreds. The eloquent Third
warder ridiculed the proposition to lay
walks along worthless property, and
wound up by advising people to walk in
the mud if they wouldn't pay their
taxes. Sattler then essayed the role
of pacificator. He believed Steimker
right and then he believed Weber right
but his argument was too general to be
of much force. The mayor then enter
ed the fray and called attention to the
personel of the streets comrnitteee un
der whom the work should be done.
After all this Weber's motion carried
unanimously.
The ordinance for vacating certain
streets and alleys in South Park passed
unanimously, after Sattler had guaran
teed the payment of the printing cost
on behalf of the petitioners. A resolu
tion empowering the mayor and city
clerk to quit claim the parcels covered
by the vacation then passed unani
mously. Steimker had a number of sidewalk
resolutions then ordered covering prop
erty in blocks 100, 105. 101, 103, frac
tional lots in section 18, block 1, Stad
elman's addition. He also presented a
list of "light repairs" on streets in the
Third ward, and Weber saw the
opening and attacked Steimke. For in
consistency in opposing sidewalk ex
penditures while he had all this street
work to ask. Weber moved the work
go to the street committee. After a
wrangle lasting several minutes, Web
er's amendment was agreed to by a
vote of 5 to 4 which was also the vote
on the original as amended. Then
John P. Sattler made his time-honored
motion to adjourn, which carried.
Overflow From Wednesday.
