Aid. Larson introduced resolution
asking that light be placed at the cor
ner of Iowa and Twenty-frst. 1t was
referred to the aldermen from the Ninth
ward.
A man named Miller sent III a COM
munication planning of the pound
master Of the Eighth ward, saying that
he (the poundmaster) goes outside the
city limits to get animals to put IN the
pound that he sometimes follows far
mers for half mile and when they
enter some house, he grabs their dogs
and HES him back to the pound with
his prey. The communication was re-
ferred to Alderman French and Heule,
the representatives of the Eighth
ward, regardless of their objections.
1t was requested that the application
for license of Stewart Duval, 4 saloon
keeper of I'LL North Third street, be
acted upon. 1t was stated that Duval
had filed his application for a
license on July , and had paid $50. Aid
Mcqueen wanted to know how 1t was
that man by paying $50 should be al
lowed to run, and moved that the place
be closed forthwith and kept closed
until the council allows it to be open.
Chief Crumpton explained that it was
his opinion at the time the application
was filed that after the filing of the
same, the man who applied is permit
ted to 20 ahead and sell liquor until the
license is acted on.
Aid. McQueen's motion carried.
Aid. Dahl moved that the Gem
Theater be closed, but afterwards
amended bis motion so as to instruct
the proper officers to close it. Ber-
trand did not like the motion, believing
it to be unnecessary as it is the duty OF
the executive otiicersto see that the law
is carried out. Aid. Bertrand said, if
the aldermen thought the mayor or of
ficers were not doing their duty,
inform such officers.
Al
operated bv one Rolph at the corner OF
Third and Lamborn be closed and the
motion carried.
1t was moved that the application for
a license from Stephen Duval be re-
fcrred to the chief of police to find the
correct number over which there was
some difference of opinion. Aid. Me
Queen thought it degrading for the
council to give no better work to the
city marshal than to have him aid in
getting another barroOm in the city.
Aid. Douglas moved that the motion
to close the saloon of Duval be recon
| sidered and held open until the mex
meeting. Aid. Mcqueen arose to a poin
of order, saying that the mover anC
seconder had voted in favor of CLOSING
up Duval and, therefor, could not make
a motion to reconsider. President ROs'
ruled that as they had voted in the af
| tirmative it gave them the power Il

der as the former question, that of re
ferring Duval's application to the chic
had not been voted upon. 1t was passeC
and so was the one to reconsider.
Aid. Mcqueen then moved that tn,
chief be instructed to close all saloon
whose licenses have not been paid. II,
afterwards, upon q suggestion of Chic
Crumpton, agreed to give the saloon
men until next Saturday to pay up an,
in this form the motion passed.
Twenty-Five saloon keepers have no
paid up yet.

President Ross informed the council
that i'll view OF the fact that crear
many political meetings will be held in

0G made to have any political parties
who, wish TO use the council chamber
be allowed to do so upon paving the
Janitor, who is engaged by the city for
the day only, sum to be fixed by the
mayor. AID. Dahl made a motion
Gmbodying the suggestion ofthe presi-
/ dent hut AID. Mcqueen thought fbe

fNed by the council rather than by the
I mayor and that the whole matter
should be referred to the committee on
