1t is the law of this city that no hos
pital shah be opened or maintained
within its limits without permission of
the common council. A public hospital
that of ST. Luke's-is now in course
of erection in proximity to the Jefferson
school building. and at the meeting of
the common council last evening the
commissioner Of health was instructed
to report if it was true that the building
was beng erected without authority.
A minority of the council are in favor
of abolishing electric lighting Of the
city. ard during the past two months it
has brought forward several resolutions
to secure that end. These motions have
all been referred to the committee on
gas. from whom no report has been re-
ceived. Last evening the matter was
moving: That the st. Paul Gas Light
company be and it is hereby instructed
to discontinue the lighting of all electric
lights lighted BY it for the city, on and
after Nov. Is, 1883, provided that the
electric lights in the public buildings of
the city are hereby executed from the
operation of this resolution"
Aid. Hamm moved that this reSOlil-
ton should be consigned to the commit
tee Oh gas.
Aid. Pratt-The committee Oh gas are
considering that matter,
Aid. Hamm-Well then. that is the
proper place for the resolution. Laugh
ter.
Aid. Sanborn-It is customary at this
season ef the year to discontinue the
electric lights in the parks.
The motion was eventually sent in
the wake of others which preceded it,
the vote being nine for and six against.
lively discussion sprung up regard
ing resolution by Aid, Fischer:
Resolved, That according to the report
made by the committee OIL printing, the
Handerer Printing com pany is authorized by
the board of aldermen of the city Of ST. Paul
to publish in Der Wanderer, for one time all
notices and combinations of assessments of
the board OF public works. at the rate of forty
cents per square inch.
Aid. Sanb0rn moved that the Pioneer
Press and st. Paul Dispatch be in
cluded.
Aid. Blom-I move that the Skafferen
be included.
Aid. foerg-And | move that the st.
Paul Herald be also included.
Aid. Kavanagh-What is the matter
with the st. Paul News? Laughter.l
Aid. Fischer did not like the hand
ling of his resolution in this way.
daughter Der Wanderer was Ger
man paper circulated among a large
class of people who bought no other
paper.
Aid. Sanborn-It may not be known,
but 1t is fact, there are a great many
American people in this city who read
the English language.
Alderman Kayanagh knew nothing
about this public printing in foreign
papers, but said if one were patrOniZed
all should be.
Aid. Hamm moved that the matter be
referred to the committee on printing.
Aid. Cullen, chairman of that COM
mittea, objected. The committee had
done all they could in the matter.
Aid. Hamm remarked there was new
matter in the resolution. which had not
drew from Aid. Yoerg the remark:
mir. Hamm is correct. The Pioneer
Press supported Mr.. Cullen in the last
campaign very heartily" [Laughter.l
Aid. Sullivan am little mixed up
on all this newspaper business. | re-
specially ask how many official news
papers are we entitled to according to
the law?
Aid. Sanborn--One.
Aid. Sullivan-Then why have more
than one? If we have more than one,
contrary TO law. think we had better
print our notices in every newspaper
published in the city. daily and weekly.
AID Cullen object to the committee
on printing being trifled with. 1t is too
important committee. If this resoIu-
ton is referred to that committee the
committee is liable to make a report
such as the members of this council
won't want to hear.
The motion to refer the matter to the
committee on printing was negatived,
as, after further discussion, was also the
original motion.s
Sheriff Richter presented claim for
81 ,56S.76 for attendance upon the courts
and the city prisoners and for boarding
the same in the jail building.
Aid. YOerg urged that the matter be
referred to the committee on claims.
Aid. Cullen-Mr. Yoerg, don't think
you should oppose that. Mr.. Richter
supported you at the last election.
]Laughter.l
The claim was eventually allowed.
J. Myers, of the firm of Myers 81 Car
penter, applied for the refunding of
$50 out of $500 paid for an auctoneers
license. The license was taken out
October, 1887, but was only used one
week.
Aid. Kavanagh urged that the claim
at once be disallowed, because if they
refunded money in this way there
would not be an auctioneer from Maine
to California who would not come to
the city, and after staying week apply
to have the balance of his license
money refunded. Mr.. Kauanagh ulti-
mately agreed to the matter being re-
ferred to the license committee, of
which he is the chairman.
A resolution submitted by Comptroller
Roche, authorizing the issue OF bonds
amounting to 100000 for the purpose
of paying bonds issued by the st. Paul
Water company, was referred to the
committee on ways and means. The
bonds will be issued January 2, 1889,
and run thirty years, with interest at
the rate of AZ per cent per annum. A
resolution was passed allowing judges
| of election S21 for their services.
