dermen voted. Other business was then
taken up and the large lobby of citizens
and taxpayers who had assembled hoping
to hear the good news that the Gulf Shore
would be built stamped out of the council
chamber eXecrating the six aldermen who
bad voted against their interests, and
made no attempt to conceal their dis
pleasure. Daugherty here moved to ad-
journ, but this was not carried.
Alderman Sinner said he had received
the opinion of Mr.. T. H. Micklejohn on
the cost of constructing ceSSpoolS at the
city hospital to carry off the hospital sew
age. That gentleman says 800 will cover
the expense of two %ceSSpoOlS.
Alderman Newton tried to apply salve
to the crowd by a resolution that a COM
mittee of three aldermen, with the city
engineer, be appointed to confer with the
officers of the Gulf Shore road and select
a feasible route into the city. This was
adopted, and Aldermen Newton, Albert
Beckmann and D~augherty were appoint
ed by the mayor.
Alderman A. F. Beckmann reported ia
vorably on petition of Gilbert & Bell to
!, establish a summer theatre at San Pedro
park. Adopted.
Also favorably on a proposition of DR..
| Amos Graves, Sr., for the city slaughter
| pens. The doctor agreed to furnish land
for the pens free to the city for 10 or 20
| years and furnish the pens for the cattle,
Sc in all, the city to keep up the repairs.
The doctor also agreed to take all the
otfal, if the city would put in an artesian
well, and grant privilege of use Of water
to the Union stock yards. He also offered
TO sell the city all the Strengthening ma
chinery of the cold storage plant,
at less than cost and on long
time. The committee reported that
the city accept the offer of the
land, the pens, and If feasible, to bore an
arteSian well and permit DR.. Graves the
use of the water; or II any artesian well is
not feasible the city to arrange for supply
ing the slaughter house and DR.. Graves the
| water from the waterwOrks. Also that a
fair valuation be placed on the machin-
Also that all offal be given to DR..
Graves.
The committee stated that the city
could put up an inexpensive. adequate
building for the slaughter house, as DR..
Graves wants to use his killing house for
an oil mill which he is going to put in.
The city will have to put in an engine to
run the machinery. There are 90 beeves
| slaughtered in this city per day, which
now takes about five hours time. When
we have the slaughter house we can have
an inspector to inspect the beeves first
and afterward inspect the meat, and thus
insure us healthy meat, a thing we can
| not now do, Wlth.cattle Oelng slaughtered
in the brush, in back yards,
everywhere and no inspection
made. Butchers can run their meat over
a short track right into the cold storage
plant and there cool it or freeze 1t, at
will.
