f1The Citizens union met at Refholzs hall
last evening. Vice President Lewis pre-
siding.
Capt. Starkey, of the committee on mer-
camille and manufactures reported seance
of the committee with the express COM
panies in regard to discrimination OF rates
IN delivering express matter IN the Slxtn
ward The local officers were in favor OF
extending the limits of delivery, and it was
suggested by them that the business men OF
the ward sign petition in conjunction
with them, and that the same be forwarded
to the general express managers to secure
this end. The report was adopted.
THE NEW BANK.
Capt. Starkey reported that canvass had
been made in regard to the establishment OF
a bank or banks in the Sixth ward. Inc
committee had found the sentiment very
favorable to the establishment OF COM
mercial and savings bank combined. rms
report was adopted after liberal discussion.
1t was recommended that paper be cir
culated to obtain names of those who
would take stock, and after sufficient names
are obtained, to hold meeting for organ
iZation. The idea seemed to be to incor-
porate an institution with from $50, 900 to
800. 600 capital stock; and Mr.. WilguS an
nounced that he knew five men on the East
side who would subscribe $25, 900 OF the
stock.
Mr.. Rudolph made some cOmmon-sense
remarks on the subject to prove that the
bank would be.a paying institution in the
ward. and stated that its weekly deposit
could hardly fall short of $4,000. 1t was
phenomenal that a population of 11,00O
should be without bank, when there was
hardly a Dakota town of 1000 Inhabitants
but had paying one. He advocated COM
mercial and savings bank combined, and
desired that it be started by West st. Paul
capital.
MIR. Lawton felt that bank would pay
in the ward, but argued that the greatest
obstacle to its success would be a lack OF
confidence, if heavy capitalists did not
come into it as stockholders, and it was not
under the management of competent imam
cierS.
The following resolution was then of
fered by Capt. Starkey:
Resolved, That the secretary of this
board is hereby instructed to procure SUI
ficient number of subscription lists, with
properly printed headings on the same, for
the purpose of procuring subscribers to the
proposed banking institution to be located
in the Sixth ward, and a copy of said list be
furnished each director of this union for
the purpose of preparing signatures to said
list, and said directors shall report their
action in the premises at future meeting.
The resolution was adopted by vote OF
Is to 5.
MISCELLANEOUS,
The committee on streets asked for fur
Their time. and Mr.. BOles of the health and
sanitary committee reported the council
likely to take satisfactory steps for removal
of garbage from the city and ward. The
removal of the garbage from the most thlckly
populated portion for "a, 900 per year for
five years, and taxing the whole city for the
same, was on argument concluded not to be
monopoly job. Mr.. ST. Peter explained
the contract with the garbage remover, and
had seen no Niger in the fence and had
smelt no monopoly as yet.
Mr.. Dale, of the special committee on
artesian wells, asked for and was granted
further time, as they meet the fire commits
SiOnefs this afternoon.
The following, presented by Mr.. Lawton,
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed
to wait upon the officers of the st. Paul
Street Railway company and ascertain If
the said company intend to extend their
lines to the Sixth ward at an early day.
Messrs Lawton, Stanley and Rudolph
were appointed such a committee.
It was moved and carried that the reg
ular meetings of the union be held every al
ternate Friday, commencing May 49,
