THE MUNICIPALITY.

The drive well pump plan il TO be put
through the council. 1t is better than no
plan, but is far from what the necessities
of the city demand.
Somebody wants the council to order
II sidewalk to be built along Sixth ST., from
Washington avenue TO Walnut street, and
pay part of the cost, which is liberal.
Henry I. Martin has been permitted
to step into the policeman's shoes out of
which Mr.. Sun ner stepped q month or
two since. We hope and believe Henry
will wear them worthily.
Councilman Hurd is anxious to have the
railroad track matter fixed up, and pro-
poses as the best way to that end joint
committee Of members of the council and
citizens to ask the Illinois Central what
they are willing to do about it,
-Jsiler McHale has been ordered to get
the hog pound into proper condition for
the reception of porkers, and Chief Myers
is to be reinforced while he is engaged in
arresting hogs, human and the other kind,
detected infringing the ordinances
The council, by vote, requested the
mayor TO vote at the meeting on Friday
night in confirmation of his own nomina-
tion Of a policeman. No matter; but the
proceeding was, in our opinion, odd-likc
the heather Chinee, peculiar. The char
ter authorizes the mayor to appoint Ger.
tain officers by and with the advice and
consent of the council We doubt his
right to vote that he consents to allow
himself to make an appointment; but, as
We have said, no matter. Who cares
We call the attention of the city ALL
thorities to the condition of the sidewalk
on Ninth street between the avenues. Ev.
cry few steps is man trap, dangerous e
limb and life A few days ago a lady fel
through the walk and severely injured her
self. On Friday night gentleman step
ped through hole in the walk and fell Of
his face. He was hurt so much he coul
not move, and attracted attention and 81
cured assistance by crying murder n
a person can pass along the walk safely ev,
, in the day time.
o The proceedings of the council met
ing on Friday night lwerc characterize
r by harmony and good feeling, fact whic
y has given to us II singing pang of regi'
!. We are very anxious TO have a row in I
h council. There is nothing of interest G
d ing on in the city-nothing that can
II used as spice for these columns, and r,
10 in the council is our only hope. Aldo
,. man Fitzgerald is the muscle man amol
,s the city fathers, and he will confer or,
favor upon us by calling some other aid
man rascal. This would probably ini
- guratc the row we hope for.
n The family grocery store of Bixby
10 Koehler is being patronzed largely by p'
!. pie who like fine groceries. Their locatio
on the north side of Eighth street,
tween Commercial and Washington II
>. enues, is central one, and their stock |
:, been selected with discrimination, the
h. fore this new candidate for public patrc
> age meets exactly the wants of the pc
Pile Messrs. Koehler Il Bixby propose
keep up their reputation by always SELF
= the best of all sorts OF groceries to tn,
- patrons and the public, knowing that pr
pie generally are aware Of the fact Il
really good articles of any kind are
II ways the cheapest in the end. Il
