the clerk and Judge of same court and
superintendent OF the workhOuse and
find that they correspond except as
follows:
The report of the superintendent of
workhOuse for May II shows that Eriek
Vlsli, committed on May IA, paid a fine
of S25. which does not appear iii the re-
port of the clerk of the municipal court

III clerks report nor that of superin-
tendent. Respectfully submitted,
c. l.. HORST, City Treasurer.
Mr.. Ahern, after the meeting was
over. said that he is amply equipped 10
show that the whole matter is Repub.
lican bosh. Said he:
1.-The S25 fine paid by Erick Visli was
turned over at a later date, its failure
to be turned over sooner arising
through an oversight of my clerks.
Robbins was fined $40, with the
alternative of ten days at the work
house, and the matter was so reported
by Judge Cory, A twenty-four hour
stay was granted Robbins, and at the
expiration of the stay the case was
called and Robbins was dismissed, but
Judge Cory failed to correet his report.
George Ward was fined $40 with the
alternative of ten days Imprisonment,
for violating the plumbers ordinance.
Ward wanted to go out in
charge of an officer TO get
the money to pay the fine. One
of my bail ifs saw Officer Carroll goout
at the time Ward did and supposed that
Ward was in the custody OF the officer;
but it turned out that Carroll didn't
have the custody of the prisoner, so
Ward skipped to Duluth. A week or
ten days later Ward returned to the
city, and Officer Mozart found and
brought him into court. Ward then
paid the fine.
81 shall appear before the committee
and expose the whole matter"
The claim Of Emily ID. Bradley for
the use of the hotel in the Midway dis
trIct during the smallpox epidemic,
which had been referred To the corpora
ton attorney, came back from that Off
was not entitled to Recover, as the dis
ease had originated in the premises.
The claim was dlSallOWed.
The report of the committee on ways
and means for the additional appoint
ment of four health inspectors for a pc
riod of four months called out SOME dis
cusSion. MIR. Holman Thought that the
health department should get along OH
its appropriation, and not ask for more
money out of the general fund. The
department was now receiving So
QUO year. The commissioner had in
his Othce, his own father as meat in
spector and another relative as live stock
Inspector. These Two offices could be
consolidated, as, In his opinion, the
meat inspector knew but little about
the inspection of meats. The commits
sloner was drawing s. a day, and MIR.
Holman doubted if he put in more than
all hour day Ill the active service OF
the city. If he desired more inspectors
they should be paid out OF the present
appropriation, aud the EXPENSES of the
department reduced accordingly.
Corporation Attorney Chamberlain in
formed the assembly that the present.
allowance of $4,000 must cover the en-
tire expenses of operating the depart.
ment, anu that it could not be increased.
An ordinance appropriating any more
money out of the general fund weuld
not he valid.
The assembly did not approve the re-
port of the committee.
An ordnance amending the license
ordinance III relation to peddierS was re.
ferred TO the license committee.
