ing three rods in width, be and here |

Councilman Cohn then said
With reference to the ordinance
and the one that has
been passed tonight we have re-
ceived nothing bat SANDER. pure
aad simple, from Our friend the
Nsws:lthey say that we have been
working the cemetery for ell that 1t
is worth; and so We have, but not
in the manner intimated iy the
critic referred to.
Councilman Hall-In our manner
Of conducting this cemetery we
should be very careful, especially rs
pertains 10 the amount OF means ex-
pendej. History reIeats itself in
cities as in nations, and the time is
not far distant when the growth of
our city will demand that We seek
a larger and more remot- resting
place for the dead.
The adopted report Of the COM
mittee on fire department s-sil !,
came up, when the appropriation
list was reached.
Councilman Hall-Weare putting
on too much style: all the '.nsel and
show of three tin $ the number of
that we have is carried
on. A more judicious expen-
di.ure of the peoples means
must be had. The $500 team recent
ly purchased was a lavish expendi-
ture of money. A 500 team would
have answered all the purpose just
as well.
Councilman James also favored a
more economical expenditure Of the
City funds; the treasury was getting
low with so many appropriations.
Councilman Anderson said that
every dollar Of the amount was
needed.
On a call Of the roll only two
members voted in favor of the ap-
preparation, while Councilmen
wolstenholm, Armstrong, Hall,
Karrick and James voted against it.
The appropriation was lost, it re-
quiring eight votes to carry it.
Councilman James, who voted
against it, moved q reconsideration.
This was carried, and Mr.. James
then moved that an appropriation
Of $500 be made.
Councilman Anderson said that
they might as well refuse the entire
as to cut it down, and
he was inclined to be indignant over
the action taken. He asked that
the list Of articles needed be read.
When the item of mattresses was
Councilman Hall said he
had slept on cheaper mattresses for
4 good many years. 1t Is now evil
dent that this list was not made up
with q view to economy.
