The S. S. Convention was held at Streetsboro
last week. acco riding to announcement. No
postponement on account of weathe." But as
there were one or two fine days the farmers de-
sired to take advantage of them; consequently
the attendance at the Convention was smaller
than it would have been had the corn planting
been finished. Nine were present from Ravenna
representing three Sunday Schools. The con-
vention was success for Those who were there.
The dinner in the Town Hall on the second day
was worthy of the Streetsboro people. and highly
appreciated by visiting delegates. The next
Convention will be held in Atwater.
Charles Keck was arrested last Thursday and
fined by Mayor Cole $500 and $3.50 costs. which
he is working out on the streets at IS cents per
day. Shortly after his arrest he sent out one of
the constabulary of the town after his brother
in-law. one W. II. Moore. whose former exploits
are familiar to our citizens. and whom Keck
claimed had stolen his watch, chain and money.
Moore was landed in Jail on a charge of highway
robbery. Just the lawyers were getting in
readiness to conduct the hearing before Mayor
Cole. Keck spoiled all the fun by saying that he
gave the watch and chain to Moore. and spent
the money himself.

Council Proceedings.

Council gathered around the board once
again Monday night All were present except
D. M. Clewell and Clerk H. L. Beatty who
are in Minneapolis, shouting for the downfall o.
grandpa's hat.
The Mayor suggested the absence of the clerk,
and advised adjourned meeting to consider
the matter of extending the water mains and of
laying the proposed new sewer along Durham
| block alley. The solicitor then gave his legal
opinion on the first of these questions saying
| that there was no question concerning the rights
of those people who have not fire protection
and other water privileges, but he was clearly
of the opinion that the proposed extension could
not be made by applying surplus water works
earnings to the extension of the water mains, as
the statute which formerly permitted this to be
done was amended in 1889, so that the only
cases to which the surplus earnings OF water
works owned by municipal corporations can be
applied are to pay the interest the water
works debt, to create a sinking fund for the
liquidation of the principal, and to enlarge or
extend the works of the reservoir. Instead,
therefore, of using the surplus for the proposed
set aside for water works sinking fund. and
the municipal levy of $40 mills for general
corporation sinking fund will be reduced by a
corresponding amount.
With reference to borrowing $500 for sewer
ing Durham block alley he said that there were
only two instances where the corporation can
anticipate leviesS The first, for the general cor
poration fund; the second is for sanitary and
street cleaning purposes. If the proposed sew
er is sanitary necessity, then Council could go
ahead and borrow the money; but unless it
could be clearly shown that such necessity
existed, Council could not anticipate the levy.
Both these matters will come up for DISPOSE
ton at the adjourned meeting.
The Solicitor was authorized to procure Dill
Ions and Coppok's Municipal Codes for city
use. He suggested the bad state of the ordi-
nances, and recommended their codihcation and
publication.
| C. H. Nash was hired to look after the park.
For moving and clearing it up once week, he
gets SI.5o.
The Street Commissioner was instructed to
sell one of the corporation mares, and to see
about limbs of trees overhanging the sidewalks.
There was no water works report.
The usual fire report was read.
Adjourned to next Tuesday night.
