Summary Of a Days Doings
in the City of the
Saints.

Bids for city printing were received
last evening at special meeting Of the
common council. Aid. Bickel presided,
and Aldermen Conley and Sullivan
were the only absentees. Aid. Yoerg
was particularly DESTROYS at the outset
that the council should reject the bid of
any paper which had not been pub
llshed and circulated daily for two
years. Aid. Sanborn seconded mo-
ton to that effect. Aid Hamm pleaded
that such motion was premature. as
the bids had not yet been received. The
president ruled the proceedings irregu-
lar, as at the last meeting it was eX
pressly decided that the printing would
only be rendered to the papers which
had been published daily for and over
two years.
Clerk PrendergaSt received the bids
from the various newspaper representa-
tiyeS, and the tender for the city print
ing was as follows: GLOBE, 40 cents
per inch for first insertion; 20 cents
per inch for eacn subsequent insertion,
or the Old rates. Dispatch, 25 cents per
inch for first insertion; 20 cents per
inch for each subsequent insertion.
Pioneer Press, q cents per inch for
insertion OF council proceedings; 81
cents per inch for first insertion of
other matter; % cents per inch for each
subsequent insertion.
President Bickel said there was a bid
from the Daily News, bun as that paper
had not been published two years, it
was irregular.
Aid. Cullen-It seems to me that it
might be read.
Aid. Yoerg-But object.
Aid. Hanin-Ihen 1 move that it be
read.
Aid. Kayanagh-I second the motion.
Upon division the motion was lost,
the vote being: Ayes-Ald. Cullen,
Gehan, Hamm, kavanagh, Leithauser,
Minea and Melady-7; nays-Ald BIom,
Book, Fischer, Pratt, Sanborn, Weber,
YOerg and Bickel-S.
The bids were referred to the commit
tee OH printing, with instructions to
tabulate the prices. and, if necessary,
employ competent expert to assist
them in their deliberations. The com
mittee will make a report Tuesday
evening, Jan. l, 1899.
Messrs. W. A. Van Slyke and M. D..
Mum, representing the Ice Palace and
carnival association, appeared before
the council and urged an appropriation
OF $4,000 towards defraying the ex-
penses of the forthcoming carnival.
Mr.. Mum presented petition favoring
the appropriation, signed by 1,2OO tax
PAYERS of the city and county.
w. >. Morton, of the chamber of COM
merce, on behalf of that body presented
resolution favoring the appropria-
ton.
Aid. Fischer and Aid. Sanborn de-
sired that this question should not be
run through the council at present, but
that the matter should be postponed
until the next meeting. This would en-
able the aldermen to become better ac-
quainted with the method by which it
was proposed that the appropriation
should be made. After short discus
sion the suggestion was adopted.
The carnival directors say that the
council has $1,000 on hand, which was
originally appropriated for purposes of
this kind by special legislation. and
they propose further special legislation
to authorize the appro priation of the
other $4,000.
