The report was adopted.
An ordinance to nrob;h;. ~
on Sunday stirred Alderman HeTbar5
upon the question of the na,sI,
published code, and he said no
didn't consider it worth tho na,o,
1t was printed on.
The new ordinance was tabled
tor the reason that there is already
valid ordinance upon the same
subject. '''e
Aldermen Poage and Deatop. Of
the printing committee made re
port recommending that, in view of
'ne TACT that the reports of the CITY
omciais nave not yet been published
tor the fiscal year ending April Is.
lS93' SAID reports be not published
until next April, when the reports
tor two years be printed together.
Alderman Lacy insisted that The
reports should be made separately
and not blended together. 1t was
not buslness.like to allow such
matters to be neglected.
Alderman Symes agreed with
Alderman Lacy.
Alderman Tibbs insisted that the
report should be made. 1t need
not be printed unless there should
be call for it. But it ought to
be made and filed.
Alderman Poage could not under.
stand the zeal of the gentlemen who
wanted the report printed. He had
tried long ago to get the report
printed and nobody seemed to
support him in it, Now, when the
year was about gone, they came in
and demanded that the work be
done.
Alderman Herbert couldn't see
what the printing committee had to
do with the making of these re-
ports, ard said he pleaded ignorance
to the whole thing.
The Mayor said, in answer to a
question, that all the reports had
been completed except that of the
city secretary.
Alderman Lacy did not want the
slir-shod way of reports to 90 over
from one year to another to grow
into a precedent.
Alderman Deaton said the com.
mittee report did not contemplate
the blending of the reports of two
years, but just to have the years
bound together in one volume.
Alderman Herbert wanted all re
ports filed when the law required
them to be filed. He wanted the
debit and credit side of the books
kept properly, so that the people of
Waco could tell what money they
paid out and what they got for it.
He insisted on the reports being
made at the proper time.
Alderman Poage moved that the
report be referred back to his COM
mittee. He said he had learned
from the debate that the committee
had not made proper report.
Alderman Brinkerhoff wanted
the reports of officers all made be-
fore being referred to the printing
committee. He didn't think the
printing committee had any bust
ness with the matter.
Alderman Herbert moved to lay
the whole report on the table.
Adopted.
Alderman Lacy moved that the
secretary be instructed to bring in
the overdue report at the next
meeting.
Alderman Herbert moved to
amend by making the time the first
meeting in next month.
The amendment was accepted and
the motion adopted.
The ordinance repeating an ordi-

company the right to lay switch
on South First street was taken up,
read a third time and passed.
The improvement committee and
chief of fire department made re-
port recommending that the work
