| same from running at large was fead
three times and passed, as read, except
that at II point supposed to be vital
On motion of Lammert the mood
was changed from may to shall.
The Bailiff was allowed 80 cents
each tor killing all family pets that do
not comply with the ordinance.
There was no provision made for
publishing the ordinances. They will
doubtless be printed and posted, for
liverymen and dogs would not prob
ably see them in the papers.
Sections 10 and 20 of Chapter4 Of the
Code, title "Nuisances," sub title
redistribution of Streets and Side
walks"
was referred to Committee on Ordi-
nances. There is something new in
store for those who indulge in curb
stone display.
A number of bills were read as
follows for instance:
Mr.. So-and-So, so many dollars.
The Mayor SAID the bills should be
read by items, or the Finance Com
mittee's names should appear thereon.
Cherk-Their names are on.
The Mayor should have contended
for his well-taken point. No matter
if the committees names are on, the
Council as q whole is the auditor of all
accounts against the town. In fact,
close scrutiny of all bills is one of their
prime functions, more especially when
their agents, not themselves, are con-
tracing for supplies. Under the pres
ent system two-sevenths of the Coun'
ell have full control Of the disburse-
ments-a matter of sufficient import
ance to engage the care of seven
seventies.
Mr. Jandotf reported interview with
| Messrs. Millholland and Burwell. the
substance of which was given last week
in these columns.
The committee on. getting better or
more railway facilities was continued,
and motion to strengthen it, first by
one and then by two more members,
was carried. The Mayor appointed
Messrs. Michael and Zimmerly.
Mr.. Michael offered the following:
Ordered, By the Mayor and Councilmen of
Frostburg that permission is hereby given
the Frostburg Gas and Electric Light COM
panv of Allegany county, its successors and
assigns, for the period of forty years to erect
and maintain in the streets and alleys,
squares, walks and other public places of
Frostburg poles, lamp-posts, wires, fixtures
and other appurtenances, for electric light,
power, manufacturing and other purposes
nnder its charter, with full right and author
ity to make and construct all suitable eX
cavatons, and to employ thereon all ma
terials requisite for the purpose or for the al
teraton, repair or removal Of the same
Lammert thought every step taken
should be under the direction of the
| Street committee.
James Kane, president Of the Frost
burg gas and electric light company,
appeared and explained the objects of
the order. The Council had given
similar privileges to another company,
and his corporation only asked to be
placed upon the same footing.
Jando,f moved that the order be
laid over for future consideration, and
| the motion carried.
w. j. Daily, who had been waiting
over two mortal hours, us the JOURNAL
thought, to be initiated, came around
IN front aud asked for the privilege of
spreading to the bold breeze of heaven
a beautiful, large semi-bedtick avn
ing. The modest, but elegant request
was granted with great deal more
grace than was the supertluous $50 to
the demand Of the Frostburg Ledger,
for Max Hamilton, and Daily went
somersaultlng home.
Something wrong about William
Sllcer's stable was spoken of, and some
body was instructed to report the
trouble to the Board of Health. Up
to the time of leaving the Council
Chamber, however, the Mayor, as a
Board of Health man, had not heard
of the matter.
| w. ii. Parker complained of having
to pay for the privilege of keeping idle
vehicles.
The sum of $50 was appropriated to
deck out our policemen in navy blue.
Mr.. Jandorf did not remark that the
night man would not get this item of
buds thrown in with that other SIS
offer.
The Ledger's graveyard yawp, like
the voice from the tombs, came up.
Lammert wanted to put a fence around
it.
Jandorf said 1--WE owe duties to dead
as well rs living" and SO on. He said
also something about hogs roofing up
bones, etc. If that be true, the Bailitf
is not doing his duty. The cows have
the keys of the city, but the hogs have
not-as yet. The graveyard, withou
fence, is sacred against depredations
