them, should be paid for the job or not.
1t will be remembered that this matter
hes been in the newspapers heretofore.
1t was revived yesterday, when the
report of the finance committee was
read. The very last item on the de-
msnds was the bill of Kingaley, Barnes
q Co.. for $l4, for printing fire alarm
cards. Mr.. Strohm moved that the bill
be rejected. for the reason that the name
of Mr. Mcmahon was left off and that OF
City Electrician Thye put on.
President Teed asked Mr.. Strohm If
this could be the same McMahon who
had the fight with . very small man
come time ago. Mr.. Strohm did not
reply.
Several motions to lay over or refer to
committee or lay on table we're Lost, and
finally, upon o vote OF to 3, the report
OF the finance committee WAS adopted.
So the bill be paid, but whether or not
Assistant Chief McMahon's name be-
longs On that card is still in doubt.
BETTER CRosswALKs.

the bringing OF the matter OF crosswalks

clmen Rhodes made motion that some
crosswalka out ON Main street be fixed.
That was like touching q match to

The result was that the board of public
works viii take spin around the city

which need repairs. They will try and
4 have them all fixed before the rains
y come.
