PREPARED THE PLANS
Alderman Lesser and the Levy Agar
on Earth.
CITY COUNCIL MEET
The City Hall Specifications Are
Examined by the Fathers-The
Treasurer's Report Of FL
nances for October.

The lights went out just as Mayor
Thornton raped the city council to
order last evening in the city hall.
There was a short wait and then the
current was restored and a very Inn
portant session OF the council began.
In the absence of City Clerk O'Leary
the mayor appointed M. H. Dubrey
clerk pro tenn Mr.. Dubrey served as
clerk during Colonel OLeary's vacation
and he handled the business as though
that was a regular duty of his.
The money which was borrowed re-
Gently from the street and alley fund
to make a payment on, the city hall
site, $1,000. was returned to that fund
from the building fund which has been
filled>by the arrival of the cash raised
on the bonds.
On motion OF Alderman Walkup, Sec
onded by Alderman Shovlin. the coun-
Gil went into a committee of the whole
to consider the plans and specifications
for the city hall. Alderman Walkup
presided and the reading took UP an
hour and a half of the evening. No
material changes were made In the
plans. The brick used Ii was ordered
shall be of home manufacture.
The clerk was instructed to advertise
for bids for the erection of the city
hall. all such to be filed not later than
2 O'Clock p. m. next Tuesday.
Alderman Lesser was not daunted on
the way his motion of Saturday even
ing dropped, not getting a second to
the motion to grant the petition Of
certain citizens for reduction of the
taxes. The alderman from the Third
bobbed up serenely last night again
with a motion to take Ave mills from
the levy of city taxes. Alderman Will
Jams was present and Just aching for
a chance to second II.
Alderman Walkup moved to lay on
the table, and he was seconded by Al
derman Shovlin. Both measures were
discussed in the councils usual red hot
style before the votes were taken. The
motion to table the proposition was
lost. four voting aye and three nay,
but under the ruling that a majority
of the council is necessary on such a
proposition the mayor made the ruling
in accord with his former position. The
original motion was then put and was
lost by the same vote reversed, three
ayes and four nays.
The aldermen present last evening
were Shovlin, Lesser, Cox, Williams,
Walkup, Lappen and Morris.
Council adjourned to meet next Tues
day evening at s o'clock.
