utes of preceding meeting read and ap-
proved.
FINGER SNAPPERS NO MORE.
This bright Council can now be looked
upon with the naked eye, without inter
ventiOn of smoked glass, as the farce of
approaching the bar of the Senate" has
played itself out as far as the Sergeant
at Arms Is concerned. The Mayor rose,
and directly, without fear of collapse,
addressed the Council and read the
names of five citizens to act as Sewer
Commission, viz: VIM. Dannemiller, five
| years: Josiah HaTtZell, four years; VIM,
A. Lynch, three years; DR.. Z. o. POrtman,
two years; Daniel Parr, one year. Re-
ferTed to City Officers for one week, to
| give the members time to think over
the nominations.

Mr.. Fawcett wanted to know where to

liam and Poplar streets. The Clerk
said the last Council had ordered il
moved as it gave no light since the trees
mad grown up around it, but that the
clGlzens could not agree upon its lOca-
ton, and so it was not changed, Mr.
Wyant made point by asking what had
become OF the tree trimming Ordinance.
and that things had come to a pretty
pass when gas-pOst had to be moved
whenever shade tree grew nm too

READING OF ORDINANCES.
To levy tax for expenses of 1882 had
its third reading. Mr.. Warner
wanted it amended so as to change the
levy OF the street and alley fund from
IL mills to 2.1 mills, and also
change the levy on the interest and debt
fund from So mills to 5.8 mills. Mr.
Sherrick objected. He was willing that
more work be done on streets, but not
IN taVor OF cutting down the interest
tund, for now the times are prosperous,
ana we had better be paying our debts.
Mr. warner said he regretted to cut
down the interest fund, but the streets
must nave more work done on them,
tnat new ones were being continually
opened and old ones out of repair,
MI. Hlner, the statesman from Paris
tow Wnsh1p, spoke in favor of the streets.
MT. Hlner is the proud pOssessor of a
deep bass voice, which sounds as if he
was whispering through fOg-hOrn in
gale, and when he addresses the COun-
Gil ne does it in such a convincing
manner that 1T shows him to be an
attorney used to public speaking, and
as his confrere Mr.. Fawcett said in a
recent trial before a justice court, '"Your
Honor, the reason that Mr.. Hiner speaks
so loud Is that he thinks he is arguing a
case before Squire Slentz in Paris town
snip" But this is a digressiOn. Mr..
H1ner said the condition Of many of the
roads in his ward were in a terrible con-
dlt1On, and boats were necessary and
hoped the amendment would pass. The
sad eyed Councilman from the Seventh
Ward then turned on his faucet, and
the flowing stream ran in favor of the
street fund. He said his desk contained
several hundred petitions for street i'm
ETC., etc. Mr.. Sherrick said
we can only levy IL mills by law, and
II we run short 1t is just as easy to bOr-
row for one fund as another, and he did
not want the ordinance changed. The
amendment carried ten yeas, three nays. |
The ordinance as amended was then
adopted thirteen yeas.
