pointment, was continued without
a dissenting vote by the members
of the council, ami after the pre
sentation of tilt; bond of the. new

seat to represent the ward in the
cily legislative, iiody.
The city clerk had on hand
several communications, which ho
read to the dads, which covered
several different lines of street
work and improvements. One
from (1. V, Unman, residing on
Chicago avenue and Tenth street,
asked that the city prepare the
grade near his place, as he was
ready to put down a permanent
walk, and the work was ordered
done at once. Another petition

The report of Chief of lVdiee
Rainey for the month of March,
showing seven arrests, was read,
and on motion referred to the
police committee.
Chairman Kurtz of the streets,
alleys and bridges committee re
ported that there had been con
siderable work done in the past
month, but owing to the unsettled
weather there had been consider
able trouble in getting around,
and that it would take some lime
to handle all that had been order
ed. Councilman buttery uked
concerning the tiling that had
been ordered placed near the
green-bouse on West Locust
street, and Mr. Kurtz stated that
the committee had viewed the
place, but the condition-of the
street had been too muddy to per
mit the work being done at this
time.
- City Clerk B. G. Wurl reported
that during the month just ended
he hail collected the sum of.20
for occupation tax, which had
been turned over lo the city
treasurer.
The report of I he chief of the
tin.' department and the various
foremen were referred to the fire
and waLer committee for inspec
tion to report at the next meeting-.
The judiciary committee, to
which had been referred the mat
ter of the application of Sam G.
Smith for a 00-ycar lease on a
strip of ground three feet wide
surrounding his barn on Vine and
Sixth streets, reported that under
the law I lie cily had no right to
grant such a lease and that if it
was granted it could be annulled
by the protect of any freeholder of
the cily. On motion of Ilall
strom the report was adopted and
placed on file.
The claims committee reported
favorably on I lie bills of Cass
county for $7.75 for boarding
prisoners, and .1. It. McMaken for
$1 for hauling lire bell to citv
hall.
The cemetery committee, which
had been looking into the matter
of buying the brick school house
in Mercerville for a residence for
the sexton, reported that the city
could not buy it or put up a build
ing until an 'appropriation had
been made at the beginning of
the fiscal year. The board of
education has not definitely de
cided whether they will sell the
building or not.
The chief piece de resistance
of the evening was then brought
forth and placed before the cily
fathers for their consideration, it
being the moving picture show
regulation ordinance, which had
been passed ' from meeting to
meeting for over a month. The
amendment to allow the show to
remain open from 1 to 5 p. m. on
Sunday was introduced by Coun
cilman Rirhey, but died for want
of a second, and the ordinance in
its original form was then placed
on u.s lliird reading, and on the
vote to pass the same the mem
bers voted as follows:
Yeas Kurtz, Nallstrom, John
son, Vroman, 4.
Nays Palterson, Buttery,
Lushinsky, Shea, 4; Richev pass
ed. As it is necessary for an ordin
ance to receive a majority of the
council or six votes, the measure
was lost. A great many people
are under the impression that the
mayor can cast a deciding vote in
the passage of an. ordinance, but
it is necessary that it receive the
majority vote of the council.
The mayor then appointed a
canvassing board lo inspect the
election returns of- the recent
election, and they reported the
result to bo as published in this
paper, except for the otllce of city
clerk, where Ed Donat had re
ceived two votes in the Third
ward, cutting Wurl's majority to
068.
The bonds of the newly elected
city officials were read and ap
prised. The only bond of any
size was that of City Treasurer
Cook for $25,000. with G. E.
Dovey and C. C. Parmele as security.
On motion of Richey the old
council then adjourned and pass
ed away into the records of the
things that were.
City Clerk Wurl, in a clear and
ringing voice, then administered
the oath of otllce to Mayor John
Saltier, after which the mayor

EFFECTS OF FLOODS ON j
SSew
illHElRAIlMO TRAFFIC
Floods in the east have had
some effect on business, accord
ing to local railroad Ira tile men,
who estimate that it will run from
10 to 15 per cent less now than a
year ago. They look for a change
to the belter as soon as normal
conditions prevail there. This is
the period of the year when
freight traffic is lighter than com
mon. Soon, it, is pointed out,
binding twine will be shipped in
large ipianlities to the mid-western
slates where, there is con
siderable grain raised. In the
last few weeks the Burlington has
had a fair run of sheep from the
feeding districts of the west, but
that is about over now.
