The mayor here stated that as things
now stand the gas would probably not
be ready for the opening of the ball but
that Major Silva had offered to provide
the tv Hall with electric lights with
out charge except for work in putting
them in.
Alderman Dee thought it advantage
Gus to annul the ordinance authorizing
the election of ten councillors and
thought five would be better number;
that inasmuch as part of the ordinance
HAD been amended it would be better to
repeal the rest of it. Another member
thought the NUMBER entirely too large,
and seco pded the motion. Consi1era-
BILE argument ensued as to whether or
not they had the right TO cut down the
number of councillors from ten to five.
Tn matter was referred to the COM
miitee on laws.
Mr.. Clark, as chief of the fire depart
m mt, had a proposition from the pro-
jectors of the poultry fair to allow
Ibem TO use the old Firemen's Hall to
hold their fair in, provid. the apparatus
has been owed out and the building
has not been sold. On his recommen
dation thu request was granted, subject
to the foregoing stipulations. This
brought up the question as to wht 'er
the council would accept either OF the
bids that were read looking toward the
purchase of the hall, and the Council
placed the matter with Mr.. Clark with
instructions to sell for that if he uid
not get any more. but they thought the
amount ent ly too small.
The recorder called attention to the
TACT that there were some twenty-five
bonds in excess of what had been used
now in The hands of the Recorder. That
there was no possible use to which
they could be put. and on motion of
Mr.. Clark, the finance committee was
instructed to stroy them and report
at the next meeting.
The Mayor It marked that he had re-
ceived the deed from Joseph Clark and
wife for the piece of land that included
q portion of the graveyard and, on
motion. he was authorized to make
new deed conveying the actual amount
Of land intended to be conveyed. Mr..
burse him for the amount of land that
was conveyed back to the city in his
deed, but at this several of the members
laughed, and ole said it was only an
err on the part of the former mayer
and he had all the land he originally
bought Mr.. Clark thought deed to
piece of property was the evidence of
ownership, and, If it had not been a
graveyard, he doubted if the city W uld
have got it back. A general laugh
followed, but as no one made motion
10 give MIR. Clark anything, the matter
was dropped.
The mayor notified the council that
he had employed w. l.. Porter as JAM
tor at a salary OF 81 per day. This
was considered satisfactory and the
council by vote sustained his sction.
There being no further business
ready, the bills were called for and
read. Such of them as had been au-
dited were allowed. and the others were
referred to the appropriate committees
to Investigate. and if found cerrect, to
be paid. During the reading. one item
came up that would interest the boys.
1t was for salt used on Fourth Street to
melt the snow and ice where the coast
ing was once so fine. The amount was
only Is cents, but it was a bad invest
vestment (for them).
Mr.. Smuin then moved that the ap-
propriations be made to pay the officers
of the city for the half year just closed.
Carried.

to the call OF the mayor.
