Pittsburg's Councils held their last regu-
lar meeting yesterday until September, but
it is almost certain that at least one, and
probably several, special sessions will have
to be called In the interim. President Ford,
in announcing the recess to select
Councils, stated that special sessions woulo
very likely be called, and Chairman doin-
day. of Common Council, in conversation,
said he expected a special meeting OF his
branch would be called within week to
take action on the ordinances for the sale OF
the old Poor Farm property and the pur-
chase of another site.
The Poor Farm ordinance passed Select
Council yesterday, and there are two more
important ordinances hanging in midair,
like Mohammed's collins They are the ordl-
nances drawn up at the suggestion OF Chief
J. o. Brown, creating the Offices OF Fire In
spector, who is to be held responsible for
the work of the department at all fires, and
q court officer. This last official is to have
charge Of all police cases tried in court,
wedding out all unnecessary witnesses, and
getting the cases in proper shape ior ulal'
II is expected that this officer will save
much money both for the city and county.
