City Conncil.
Matters of routine absorbed most of
the time of the city council at their
regular meeting last Friday night.
The city treasurer filed his annual re
port and a large budget of bills were
allowed.
Mr. Grover complained of the block
ading of a street in block 2G3 and his
complaint was referred to a committee.
The petition for the extension of the
water mains on East Eleventh street
was rejected on the ground of "no
funds" and for the further reason that
the city already owes 37,500 on water
works bonds.
The committee on finance made a
special report which contains some items
of interest. They found 881 55 in out
standing warrants which have never
been presented for payment. They also
found that several people bad escaped
their poll tax by presenting fireman's
affidavits to the county treasurer which
were not quite regular, and on this point
they made the following report:
Your committee find that in three
instances the county treasurer has re
leased parties from paying their poll
tax charged against them, upon the
furnishing by said parties of an affidavit
that they had served in some fire com
pany in some other town in this state.
We would recommend that the city
clerk be instructed to notify the county
treasurer that in all such cases such
parties must furnish to said treasurer a
certificate from the secretary of such
fire comyany, before they can be released
from paying said poll tax.
The ordinance for licensing honee
movers passed.
Plumber license was isned to A.
Dusell & Son upon the filing of the

nations valiant dead. Scarcely a doaea
gray-haired veterans of the Civil war
were present, but in view of the demon
stration made in their honor last Wed

tain assurance that the younger genera
tion will perpetuate the memorial day
idea and do their part toward uphold
ing the unity of the nation established
by them.
Promptly at ISO o'clock the city band

posed of sixty firemen and about the
