Proceeding, of the council.

Proceedings of the Council.
At the usual meeting of the council the
matter of enlarging the city hall came up
and was discussed at some length. Aids.
Burke. Conrad and Kelly opposed il, and
Coyell favored it. The resolution was
finally laid on the table until the finance
committee makes its report in June.
The contemplated Improvement will
cost about So, 900. The gas company pre-
scented petition TO extend the gas mains Oh
Third street from TOZier's residence, where
il now ends to Burlington avenue, if the
city agrees to pay $40 for each post put in
the place of gasoline lamp, which is
unsatisfactory. The company also
further agrees TO extend the
mains running for either side of Third
street any distance if the city will pay S25
for each post placed in for each block OF
the main extension, the city TO pay the
same price per month for each gas lamp
that is now being paid for other lamps. Aid.
BOrroman suggested that the Electric Light
company be seen and get figures. The
matter was left to the purchasing commit
tee. F. E. Joy, chief of the fire depart
ment, appeared and complained that the
present fire alarm system is unsatisfactory.
Giving the reason he said that it
is a cheap one and is probably
all right, if properly run, but unless it is
he suggested that the city cancel the con-
tract and purchase new system. w. L.
Cook, manager of the district telegraph
Office, was present and denied the charges
made by Mr.. JOY, and the matter was left
to a committee. The city engineer was
instructed to make estimates on the open
ing of North Second street. The resolution
to change and establish the grade on Third
street, between Chestnut and Orleans
street, was passed. Every member vot-
Savage, janitor of the Central

Owing to the large and rapidly increasing
list of subscribers of the GLOBE in Still
water we have been obliged to rearrange
several routes and put Oh three additional
carrier-boys. This will enable us to deliver
the daily and Sunday editions much earlier
in all parts of the city than heretofore,
fact that will be appreciated by our many
subscribers. Additional competent car
riers will be hired in the future. With our
large list of subscribers and former corps of
carriers, and considering the hour the pa
pers reach Saltwater, it has been
impossible to deliver the paper
any earlier, especially on Sunday.
Later in the season we expect to be able to
deliver every paper earlier than we are now
doing. Where the carriers cannot put the
paper under the doors boxes should be put
up. Thus far this month more names have
been added to our list than were probably
ever added to newspaper in any other city
of 10, 600 inhabitants, in the same time, in
the Northwest. Subscribers having any
complaints to make or business to transact
pertaining to the paper should always call
at the office, No. 21519 South Main street.
