pointed engineer for the board at $4,000

or an old office heretofore filled.
AID. Gehan said the city engineer had
formerly filed the position, but could
do the work no longer. Aid. Flan-
drau SAID he could not see the necessity
OF increasing the expenses of the board
$4,000 year. Commissioner Lindeke,
of the water board, said the council
could approve or disapprove, but the
board would not have elected such an
| officer if he had not been needed. So,
on vote, the council ratified the ap-
pOintment without dissenting vote.

stirred up all odor less offensive than
the company's works on the flats, but
expressive enough. Aid. Dorniden said
| the works were d nuisance, and did not
want the bill allowed. Aid. Banholzer
thought the works should be shut
down, as it was understood when they
were located on the flats that there
would be no od0r, instead of which the
stencil during the last week had been
all but unbearable. Aid. .Flandrau
said that he had been informed
during the afternoon that the Nc
contributes largely to the nuisance
complained of, would remove ii given
sixty days time. The McNiillans &C
knowledged that the location was not a
fit place for such an establishment.
The AZOtIne bill was allowed. A com
munIcation from Health Inspector Hoyt
said the Od0rS were prejudicial TO
health: that the companies had been
notified to abate the same; asked the
council to act at once; and said that
unless the body took immediate action
public health was endangered. The
matter was referred to the committee
on streets. Aid. BanhoIzer asked that
the citizens of the section be heard Wal
ter Ife, o. E. Dodge and a number of
others pictured the frightful odorS ariS-
ing from the rendering establishment
and Azotine plant. and related the sick
ness that prevailed, which physicians
attributed to the smells from the plants.
Aid. Sullivan asked if the council could
take action at this time to stop the
work. City Attorney Holman stated
that the Mcmillan rendering establish
ment was placed there under ordinance
passed years ago, and it could be done
away with in the same manner. AS to
the Azotine company. its contract was
to dispose of offal without odor. ana if
it did not fulfill it payment of the 81, $50
per month could be refused. The COM

police, the claim of George c. North for

man case, shot by Officer Peterson, was
not allowed. The milk ordinance, here
tofore reviewed, came up for action.
| Aid. Sullivan said if it was for the pur-
pose of giving place to few persons, it
might be a very good thing, bat he did
not see how 1t was going to do more
than the state dairy inspector was now
doing. After much deSultory discus
