moved that the ordinance relating to
the matter should be amended go as to
abolish the system. Mr.. Warneke sec
onded the motion. Mr.. Richards
didn't favor q change at present, but
thought II might be proper to make d
change when the term OF the present
chief expires; to change at present he
thought would be unjust. Mr.. Robin
son said that II the chief did the work
it might be well that he should receive
compensation, but the chief does moth

Brock later suggested that the matter
be brought to the attention OF council,
when the change could be made by that
body. Chief McNichol was called in
and he said during tho winter only five
or six dogs were killed per month, and
that each dog killed costs him twenty
five to fifty cents. The matter was e.
nally dropped without action.
The matter OF fuel at the city prison
came up and Mr.. Robinson moved that
a change be made from gas to coal, and
the motion prevailed,
