8igtianire of
Harris brought up a matter which
It is claimed had been ordered last
June, namely the placing of a cul
vert in the south portion of the city,
where it is said the failure to place
the same, has caused the flooding of
Mr. Schwarts place three times dur
ing last season and destroyed his
crop. Bestor claimed no report had
come before the council, while Beeson
said that it had been reported three
times. The Mayor made reply that
it would be attended to at an early
date.
The Fire and Water committee re
ported O. K. on the report of the
Chief of the Fire Department.
Evergreens in Cemetery Dying
Through Mr. Harris, its chairman,
the Cemetery committee reported a
number of the evergreens in the
cemetery which were placed there
last season, had died, and called at
tentioi to the advisability of re
placing them early, which was
agreed to by all as necessary.
The police committee reported the
matter of the reports of the Chief of
Police and Police Judge as being all
O. K.
Revenue from Prosecutions
The matter of the revenue Issuing
from prosecutions on infractions of
the prohibition law, coming to the
city was brought up by Harris, sup
ported by Buttery and others. In
quiry was made why when prosecu
tions are made on the prohibition
they are not broxight under the city
ordinances, so that the revenue emi-
nating therefrom should be due to
and paid into the city treasury, as
it is the city officials who are doing
as much to keep order as the county,
and the demands of the city for fi
nancial aid exceed those of the coun
ty and state.
Weber reported the electric light
out at the corner of Seventh and
Vine streets for the. past five nights.
New Ordinance Enacted
Investigation has revealed that it
was lawrui to charge every ire,
Life or Accident insurance company,
other than a mutual, a fee of five dol
lars for doing business in the city.
Amendment of the ordinance num
ber 508, which provided for the j
it being diverted to the purchase of
fire fighting equipment, was accord
ingly made.
Buy Some New Fire Hose
The opening of bids for the pur
chase of some new fire hose, which
have been on tap for some time, v. a-.
next in order and the bids opened
and read. One letter was received,
while two representatives were pres
ent, they being S. A. Anderson of the
Anderson company of Omaha, and
II. G. Noack, of the New York Belt
ing and Packing company, of C'lii
ca go.
Mr. Anderson was accorded the
first go in the race, while the- other
gentleman retired to the office cf
the police judge, while Mr. Anderson
explained his wares, after which Mr.
Noack was given an inning. Then,
on a motion, the Fire and Water j
committee was given the matter to
report upon, and, taking a recess, re
tired and in a short time brought in
a report favoring the purchase of
200 feets of Keystone hose, which
is wax' treated cotton fabric and rub
ber line, the price being $1.10 per
lineal foot. The report of the com
mittee was adopted by the council,
closing the hose incident.
Changing the City Warrants
Warrants which have been issued ,
by the city, bearing six per cent in-i
terest payable annually, were report-
ed by the head of the Western States!
Construction company as being diffi- '
cult to negotiate, with the request ;
that warrants issued in payment of I
the paving be altered so as to read
seven per cent instead of six. It was
cited that the warrants of other cit
ies, Lincoln for instance, are drawn
to bear seven per cent interest. A
resolution was introduced which
made it possible for the council to
make the change, and it was reported
that the statutes permitted the pay
ment of seven per cent, so the reso
lution was accordingly passd.
The purchase of two lots near the
Mockenhaupt brick yard park was
completed, the lots being numbers 4
and 6 in block 26, and belonging to
Mrs. Anna I. and Mabel J. White.
The lots are acquired by the city at
a cost of $1 each and will be added
to the park.
Side Walk Ordinance
A change in the side walk ordi
nance, stipulating the width of the
various walks and the construction
of the same, was offered and passed
under suspension of the rules.
The Cemetery Road
The matter of the cemetery road.
where it passes, the school west of
town, was referred to by Webber of
the Second as4 being too narrow in a
place or two and the matter was
placed in the hands of the Streets,
Alleys and Bridges committee to take
and see if the road could not be
widened out a:i 1 made more safe.
Bestor reported as not ready to
submit report on the Chicago avenue
sewer and was given more time. The
matter of the condition of South
Sixth street near Paul Wolfarth's,
and a place on Lincoln avenue, were
ordered fixed.
The matter oi exercising utmost
care in contagious disease cases was
brought to the attention of the city
council by Luchinsky, and the mayor
said that all care possible was be
ing exercised and all city charges be
ing looked after in the best of shape
by the proper authorities.
This, brought to a close the meet
ing and adjournment was in order.
