Undlne club room, at cost not to exceed S25
The light was ordered purchased. AS to the
sky.light, lIobrrt objected-not 10 giving the
bremen everything possible, but he could not see
that this was a necessity; and in the present
state Of the finances only necessities can be in
dulged in Perkins said it was simply matter
OF comfort Looney thought the room good
enough 1t was as good as his pool table room
and that was good enough for him or any OF his i,
'sakles" He wanted the money spent elsewhere,
For the motion only Perkins, Leonard and Ca.

Hobert-to supply neighborng saloon? 1t was

$50 GONE.
The special committee to look into Mr.. Sin
sells injuries by bad sidewalk, on Columbus
ST., recommended the payment Of $50 for a re.
celpt in full from Snsel for all demands.
Adopted
THE KELLY CASE.
In the matter Of the demand of John Kelly for
extras on the stone work Of Jefferson ST. bridge,
the committee reported they found Mr. Kelly
has no claim on the city for allowance of extra.
The attorney agrees in this opinion. The spec
iications call for a bedrock foundation, and do
not state in terms at what depth the rock would
be found. Kelly proposed to do the work ac-
cording to these specifications and was paid his
price. Wilson thought probably an extra allow
ance would be fair since it was earned, and es-
tlmated the extra work worth 1896. Report
adopted

Looney had horses. He knew horses never went
20 bed until the saloons closed. The people
should have the time, and from the bell too
Perkins said there was no objection to ringing
the bell every hour, or at regular intervals, he
had stopped the ringing at o'clock because 1t
was an odd hour. The hours were ordered struck
MORE LAMPS.

pairs and that the builder of jefferson ST. bridge
