The Immortal P. C. Does
Nothing.

Inc DodfU or trade heid lively SeS-
sion yesterday morning. Afterthe pre-
liminaries of opening p. d. Mcmillan
reported that he and Judge Fish as a
special committee had met the board of
county commissioners and they we're
willing to do all that could be asked in
regard TO the remodeling of the county
jail, and were now considering plans.
President Wyman stated that he now
had two bills that had been prepared by
George p. Wilson to prescntto the legis-
fature through the Hennepin delegation
putting the register of deeds, the clerk
and the sheriff under a salary each and
fixing the salary This, he said, was
the work given him by the citizens at
their meeting, but as it was of interest
to the board he told them of it.
Ill. G. o. Morrison moved that the
matter of the board of public works be
taken from the table. There was some
thing in Mr.. MorrsOn's manner that
meant something. Judge Atwater said
he thought that matter had been pretty
well discussed once by the board and it
was his opinion that there was no use
of talking about it any more unless they
knew the HenneDin delegation would
see that the bill reducing the council to
one alderman from each ward, would
bS Culi iCus luCIf NClG tBitiDld-
tons from several of the members that
there was news to the effect that the
delegation is very much inclined to
favor it. Mr.. Morrison said he thought
the bill should be drawn at once, and it
was noticeable that President Wyman
and Clay MacCauley were ready to sup
port him.
George 2. Wilson was opposed to try
ing to obtain the board of publ; works
from this session of the legislature. To
begin with there was not time, as he
understood there was an attempt being
made to get an adjournment of the
legislature on the 10th of April. In
order to draft bill the charter of the
city would have to be entirely revised;
certain duties were now assigned to the
councilman and others that would have
to be given to the board of public
works, and on the whole he thought it
would be better to wait for two years.
Judge Atwater seconded him in these
views, adding that it would complicate
matters now before the legislature. j.
b. Bassett thought they ought to be
sure that the Hennepin delegation
would carry it through and then 20
ahead. President Wyman volunteered
doubt about their carrying it through.
Mr.. MacCauley said:
~ citizen who ought to know told
me this morning if the board of trade
would push this matter of reducing the
number of cOuncilmen to thirteen the
legislature would pass the bill.''
As the majority of the board seemed
to favor the idea of drafting a bill for
the board of public works ii the council
was reduced and they had the assur-
ance of the Legislators of its probably
passing, and as they seemed to have
both, MIR. MacCauley moved that a bill
be drawn to be presented to the legiS-
lature TO create & board of public works.
Judge Atwaler was still opposed to
the scheme and Thought as it could not
come into effect for two years they
might as well wait for the next session
OF the legislature. This was objected
to on the ground that in two years they
would be in the same place they were
at present. After some discussion as
to whether the present councilmen
would serve their term out in case the
bill passed and when the act would go
into effect. the motion was carried and
Georee z. Wilson and Judge Atwater
instructed TO draw the bill and have it
ready TO submit to the board next Mon
day if possible.
j. B. BasSett inquired in regard to
what action the legislature was taking
in the park matter. He thought it
would be one of the greatest caiamitieS
that could befall the city to have the
banks Of the river bound down in a
park, as the quarries would be closed
and manufacturing hindered. The nat
ter was referred to the committee on
city affairs.
j. B. Allen submitted a report of the
actions of the manufacturing commit
tee at their last meeting. 1t stated that
correspondence was still being carried
on with the firms controlling the factory
for the manufacture of plumbers sup
Plies, another regarding the locating of
tannery and third locating here
a church organ mandatory. The
board then adjourned.
