session and an adjourned meeting
were read and approved, after
which the Mayor invited those who
were present and wished to address
the body to do so. WV. Fry res
ponded and made few remarks
in Mrs. Barton's behalf, stating
reasons why $50 were not enough
for the goods she lost by being
burned up during the memorable
small pox scare. He wanted the
matter settled most any way rather
than enter into litigation, but in
sisted that $50 was not fair and
could not be accepted without a
law suit. Councilman Lupton was
in favor of settling the matter and
moved committee be appointed,
which Was carried. and Allison,
Reid and Lupton will try and get
at the true valuation of the goods
lost by Mrs. Barton. Mr.. Phillip
and Mr.. Baskin appeared before
Council to have sewer, matters at
tended to. Mr.. Baskin wants q
foot pipe, 100 feet long, put in On
West Jackson street, as he is
going to build opposite the Wind
sor. The street and alley commit.
tee will look into the matter for
the gentlemen. In reply to the
question if the sanitary committee
had smelt anything Bro. Reid said
he had ordered the alley running
east and west in the Ringo block
attended to. Councilman Roden
was authorized to have the hitching
POSTS in front OF Mrs. Robards'
property removed within ten days.
DR.. Hougland reported to the
Council that he had completed the
work of fumlgating and disinfect-
Mg the Hiram Bell property, where
one, of the small pox cases was To-
Gated, and he presented his bill for
services rendered in whole matter,
amounting to sl45, which was al
lowed. A dram shop license was
granted Mr.. Mayfeld to continue
running his saloon in book 8, lot 5.
The reports of the Marshal, Collec-
tor and Treasurer were presented
and referred to the committee on
finance. Lupton wanted an ordi-
nance adopted compelling people
to get permit before they tear up
the street in such a horrible man.
ner as heretofore and the Council
ordered City Attorney Buckley to
have such an ordinance drawn up.
WANTED THE BODY REMOVED.
William Doan asked the Council
last night for permission to remove
the remains of Mr.. Barton, who
died with the small pox and was
buried at midnight, from the pot
ter's field to a more desirable lot.
Mr.. Doan said the deceased's wife
desired the removal very much and
if the Council would consent to let
it be done the work could be ac-
complished at night, he thought,
with perfect safety. This did not
meet with the appreciation of the
Council at all, Armstrong and Fer
ris stating that the remains should
be left alone until at least one
winter had passed. The Mayor
said the Councils $1,000 small
pox experience had taught it that
too much precaution could not be
taken.
