employees of their departments who work
by tho day ovary cocop1 xxeok


wells, referred to this committee, we beg
leave to report that at the present time
most all of the licenses have been paid,
and that the license department have in
their possession evidence upon which they
will file complaints for the violation of the
ordinance against those who fail to pay.
We would recommend, however, that
after the lst of January the oil inspector
be instructed to look after the collection of
licenses for these wells, and that he be
further instructed to keep q record of the
operation of all wells in the territory, and
to file with the council upon the first of
each month report showing what wells
have been operated during the month and
upon wha. days, and also what other work
| he has performed during the month.
We recommend that the draft of con-
| tract between the city and J. E. Loomis to
keep sprinkling hydrants in repair be ap-
| proved.
Recommend that the petition from W.
| c. Patterson in reference to the Associated
Charities be filed.
All of the above were adopted.
| The custodian of the city hall submitted
| the following:
In a recent issue of local paper appears
an article calling my attention as custodian
of the city hall to the candy and cigar
stand at the entrance to the building and
stating that the writer does not find upon
inquiry that the agreed rent has been paid
for many months, 80 someone must be
smoking very cheap cigars"
While l do not find that the writer of
this article believes that any public official
would sell himself for few cigars and is
actuated only by a desire to accomplish the
removal of Objectionable features around
the city hall, yet feel it is my duty to call
the attention of your honorable body to
this article and ask for your instructions in
the matter.
am not aware that the gentleman who
occupies this space was charged any rent
for it, and am quite positive that no rent
has been collected either duriDg the period
that have been custodian OF the building
or under my predecessor, which would
cover period of at least three years.
1t cannot be denied that the statement
made in this artio lie that at times men con-
grega:e around this stand and by the use
of tobacco and perhaps sometimes by the
use of Objectionable language make it un-
pleasant for ladies to enter and leave the
city hall. l have on several occasions
spoken to the owner of this stand in regard
to the matter and he to me, and he is as
desrous as ] am that some ection should
be taken By your honorable body which
would avoid this trouble.
This and was in existence at the time
became custodian of the building under
authority granted by a previous council.
and | would be pleased if your honorable
body would ISSUE to me such instructions
as on desire in this matter and will carry
them out in their letter and spirit.
The above was referred to the building
committee.
The recommendation of the supply COM
mittee that no supply acquisitions be for
the current week allowed, was received
I and filed.
