Bonus Placed ut Interest-Heads
! of Departments Invited to Attend

sion last evening ALI members were
present except Lynn and Morris, and
President Mccormick presided
/ O'Meara attempted to get his resolu-
ton providing for the advertising for
bids for street lighting brought before
the council again, but it failed.
Some time was spent in a resumed
discussion on the joint city and county
building. bills, but nothing was done,
the question of placing them on the APP
preparation list being postponed for a
week.
1 An ordinance was passed to enable
Fire Chief Devine to reduce the force
on the fire department so as to bring
the expenditure within the sum of
$1,000 per month allowed by the coun-
ell for the running of that department.
The ordinance prohibiting the riding
of bicycles on the sidewalks was called
up and referred to the committee on
municipal laws and the city attorney.
The recorder was Instructed to notify
the heads of all departments and the
chairman of the board of public works
that they would be welcomed at all
meetings of the council which they de-
sired to attend.
4 A resolution declared that it was the
sense of the council that the treasurer
place at interest the $4,000 known as
the copper trust bonus In presenting
the resolution Mr.. Clawson said it
might be one or two years before that
matter could be finally settled and he
thought 1t would be well for the city
to be making something off the fund in
the meantime.
To the general regret of the members
of the council MIR. j. ]. Daily, from the
Fourth precinct, rendered his resigna-
ton as member of that body for the
treason that his business engagements
prevented his giving public affairs the
attention which they demanded. Mr..
DAILY, it is conceded on all sides, was
a good councilman, and faithful to the
trust reposed in him by those Who
elected him. He will be missed from the
lcouncil chamber
An unseenly attempt was made by
the Republican members to railroad in
to office Mr.. H. G. Mcmillan as the
successor to Mr.. DAILY. However good a
man the nominee may be, such an over
rights of minorities cannot but be
condemned, and it only failed by the
Icleyer fillibustering of the minority.
