dollars of DR.. Slusser's bill. 1t was
paid.
New additions to the city come in
with gratifying rapidity. We are grow
ing finely.
Necessary work only will be done on
our streets this season, as the Council do
not propose to borrow money to help out
any fund
The Council couldn't "equalize" on
Mr.. James LAWN. He ran we'll and per-
sistently, but the dark-hOrse Biechele
took the cup.
The Hook and Ladder Co., bill for ser
vices at fire was referred, because they
charged half an hour more per man
than the other companies.
Mr.. Warner felt somewhat nettled that
his six dollars worth of "pOOr" orders
were referred to heReliefCOmmittee. He
had evidently forgotten that Rule 3O''
In the new code prescribes such process.
Fifty dollars were voted to rehabili
tate the Lackey family, as all their bed
ding and clothing was destroyed after
the smallpox season. 1t is pleasant to
announce that this family is now well
and wilrsOOn be on the streets again.
When the City Engineer has his new
map completed, the numbering of houses
will go on rapidly. He is getting along
finely and If we have good luck, the
numbering and naming Of streets will
be done in time for the free postal deliv-
cry next July.
Messrs. J~B. McCrea and John Shimp
retired from the Board of Health, on ex-
piratiOn of sentence, and Messrs. Joseph
Biechele and ID. Tyler take their places.
1t is a safe" move to have plenty of
''sOap" in health matters. Extra charge

Since paying last Mondays bills there
is left in the Street and Alley fund only
$549.84 with which to do street work
The City Clerk in his approximation
gives $4,000 to this fund, none of which
can be touched before June Goth, the last
day of tax paying. The city tax is gen.
orally paid into the treasury the last
hence there will be no more money until
next month.
There was no meeting last Monday
week, the new rules shutting down
too quick for some members to get III
stairs in time, but the record shOweC
that the President declared the Council
adjourned" Mr.. SherTick said thai
| should be amended as Council cannot
adjourn without a motion. A member
suggested that as there was no quorum
there was no meeting. So what arr
you going to do about it." After mucf
/ wind and legislative lore, the Clerk
record was allowed to stand and thii
| stupendOus question settled.
| Mr.. Cummins was the stalwart Fingel
| Snapper on Monday, and here is some
thing that looks queer. The Ordinanc,
states that day policemen shall serve
from six in the morning until six a.
night, but the new rules" also stat
that ihe two day policemen must attenC
the Council and be on hand at ever,
meeting. So these men are compelled
to put in four or five hours extra ever,
Monday night, to say nothing of ad
jOurned meetings. Either change tn
ordinance or pay the police for eXtrt
time. The "new rules" dare not be al
tered.
The pressure has begun and soon shot
will be heard all along the line, abOu
the location of the new City Hall, and
such thing were possible, it would b
about the "prOper caper" to build
small city hall on each mans back-lOt
When the question was submitted to tn
people, it was generally understood tina
the city lots on Poplar street would b
the location; indeed the old Counci
were so anxious to have the space read
that they sold off all the buildings bt
fore the people had voted on the pTOp(
sitiOn, and now comes a protest frOl
citizens who want the City Hall bui
far up on North Market street, near tn
Farmers Hotel, in place remote frol
the business centre. The right way [
look at the matter Is to have it in q
central location as possible, easy Of az
cess to all, and among the business POI
} tion of the city. Such place, pTeem
nently is at the Max Elben corner, q
| Walnut and TuscaraWas streets, whic
has ali the advantages Of good location
prominent streets and ease of access
This suggestion is made at the instanC
of many business men, who are pre-
nOunced in their views of the expedi
eney of the location.
