Ing the minutes of the last meet
ing and auditing accounts, un-
finished business was taken up.
The following resolution, intro
duced the last meeting by Alder
man kaigler, the wa:erworks
champion, Was the first matter
acted upon:
Whereas, the citizens of Daw-
son have by their votes,at an cleo
ton held, authorized the CITY
council of Dawson to supply the
city with waterworks, and whereas,
majority of the council report
adversely, Therefore be it re-
solved, that the city authorities
carry out the authorized instruc-
tlons OF said citizens by supply
ing The city with water from arte-
sian well either by steam or wind
nllll, as said council may deem FIT
or proper, without delay"
The resolution was rejected by
a vote of 3to 2 Alderman Low
rey, Melton and Hood yotinu
against it and Aldermen Kaigler
and Kendrick for it.
The ordinance in regard to the
skating rink was amended and
now prohibits its opening until s

ed earlier than that hour the man

cense.
The following resolution, intro
duced by Alderman Lowrey, will
be acted upon at the next meeting

%REsofVED, That in the Judge
ment of the city council of Daw-

building and equipping a railroad
from Dawson to Albany; these
bonds to bear six per cent interest
and to be payable, both principal
and interest, in thirty years.

pointed a committee to look after
the interests of the proposed rail

whistle sounded upon the discovery
of flames bursting from the roof of
the engine house. Fortunately all
the men in the pit had been hoisted
to the surface. and there was moth
ing to distract the attention of the
workmen from the extinguishing of
the fire. The flames swept through
the buildings so rapidly that engin-
GERS and tiremen were driven from
their places before the boilers could
