council appropriated 5000 for the improve
ment OF public parks to be divided as fol-
lows: 1926 for the Pierre city band and
the balance. or as much as as may be
necessary to improve the city park. The
bonds of the city officers and chief OF the
fire department were approved. The mat
of redistricting the county came up. The
city attorney gave his written opinion to
the effect that the commissioners should
have redistrictcd in 1880 and 1893 ard can
be compelled to do so at their July meet
ing. The matter was left in the hands of
IL committee consisting OF Aldermen
Proudfoot and Whcclon. A.. Brink APP
pearcd before the council with a protest
against the opening of saloon in the
old Storrs bakery. and asked that the
council do not grant permission for such
saloon to open and operate. As the pro-
posed enterprise was not yet in existence
and the council does not grant any saloon
permission to operate, nothing was done
in regard to the matter. The council then
adjourned until the next regular meeting.
Judge Gatfy and County Auditor Con-
nitf are both of Irish extraction, and the
nature of the Cclt occasionally shows in
them. They are neighborsin East Pierre.
and through their presence there the To-
cality has become known as the Irish
Patch. To this name some OF the other
neiglibors are inclined to protest. Re-
Gently Commit gave out that the judge
had named his place Tara. in honor of the
castle of an old Irish king, and that he
was the Lord of Tara" aud that the
ncighborhood was still further notorious
through the residence there OF the Duke
Of Okohoio." The judge says Commits
talk shouldn't he given any notice. as he
is only a common clay pipe Irishman. and
red headed to-boot. The controversy
promises to increase between these two
tucolic lIibernians.
