NOTES AFrEEM tTH.
Councilman Glassf0rd ies ives the fhauks
o. cir z-ns for his suggt sion, iayorafly
acted upon, to have Main stree t Thoroughly
cleanei-
Mr.. B.uneiste. eaieal orei 10 have al
order issued iastructing the Street C',nmis-
sioner to have cleaned frequsnted walks
in other parts of the city, but it was deter
mined that this ornamental appendage to
the City Council earned his $50 by l'u"gius
about our streets. and Mr.. Baumzisters mo
ticn did not prevail Nj Dovell made the
objection, stating that property o"ner' 81
corners should keep cross walks CT az.
We are glad to know that the Health or
dinance as prepared by DR.. Sloan wis pas ed,
for unless these street, AMI alleys are thor
oughIy cleaned, there will be need Of An or
dinsnce spylying to smallpox ami 'theF
contagious diseases, before many weeks.
The new ordinance drafted by Mr. Ca.on
regarding licenses Will tend to discourage
street hawks and bowling alley keepers.
The first wil have to pay $40 per day or
slOO per quarter for the privilege of living
by their wits, at the expense OF our mer-
chants. Mr.. Cation may not exactly think
that some OF the m IN III tnis section he'u
guardian, but his ordin ,rce looks very much
Ike it. 1t i. a good move.
And by the way, isn't IL rather rough on
Mr.. C.ton, that he should b. asked TO draft
and write ont all these ordinances for which
the City Attorney gets salary OF $50 per
month. Ordinances are ordered, the City
Attorneys essays them. they are referred %
the committee on orineuees, and Mr.. Cason,
as the charm a. sni layer, Is obliged 10
use his tim. and labor to redrsit and re-
write them. Ii he Is to do the work o: the
CITY Attorney he should have tine salary
attached 10 the position.
