and the following councilmen present: Healy
Carey, Richey, Kenyon, Chivington and
Stone Hoff put in an appearance in a shorl
time after and Carey retired before the ad
journment.
The many unsuccessful attempts upon tn;
part Of tbs council to hold a meeting did no.
have tendency to discourage The interested
part of the city from putting in an appear
ance As some questions that for week
havo been commanding the attention oi
many ard the .inai meeting of the council
that would prove acceptable TO all, the meet
ing has been looked upon by many as a very
important one and hence The interest
manifested. The champion of each
important measure cop!d be easily
picked out by stranger from the
color OF his face aad the twinkle in his eye.
The council launched out az first upon
some committee business which did no;
prove very entertaining to many, as was ex
pressed in q sluggishness that would have
emerged into n sleep il il had had a little en-
couragement.
