COUNCIL MEETlNG.-On Thursday
night of last week, at meeting of
the Town Council, proposition of
compromise of the suit now pending,
of the Corporation VS.. j. w. Bishop,
was accepted. It's terms are, that
Mr.. Bishop will, within the next 80
days, weather permitting, remove his
buildings back from the street, until
they are on line with the upper
cornes of his warehouse, and end of
his fence.
Samuel Sigler was appointed a
policeman to fill out the unexpired
term of Thomas A. Ahern, who late
ly resigned.
A petition was offered, asking to
have Boyd street widened, and was
referred to committee.
The fine imposed upon John d.
Burkhart, Jr., during the past sum-
mer for violating market ordinance
was RENTED. The offense, as we
are informed, was committed by adj
vising a man who was selling ounces
for a certrin price, that il was too
little, and he ought to get more.
At a special meeting of the town
Council Tuesday night the Mayor
refused to sign the order refunding
Mr.. John d. Burkhart's fine, and
was sustained in his action by the
uncil.-Statesman.
