ed to increase the tax rate to 90 cents
which is the least amount upon which
can be run for the present year: and
that the Hon. City Council be again
+, requested to pay over to the school
| treasurer the sum of So, 600, or so much
| thereof as shall be found due the city
| school board in the settlement with
the Merrill bondsmen."
Judge Coldwell declared that the de-
mand was just, as the city owed the
school board the money, and 1t should
! be paid.
BY Mr.. Stewart-''I thought the
Utah street property from the Merrill
estate had been ordered turned over to
the board
BY Judge Coldwell-''Et was, but not
accepted
BY the mayor-''I understood the
council authorized me to convey to the
school board the property in question,
and [ mentioned the fact to two of the
board of education. However, they did
not seem to think much of it, and the
transfer was not made. l think the
place had better be sold, and the money
handed over to the board
Mr.. Roberts said the city had been
compelled to increase its levy each
year for school purposes, and it looked
as though the city would have to pay
the Indebtedness of the school board, no
matter what the amount might be-
Jud ge Coldwell said it was all right to
pay legitimate debts, but if the board
contracted needless expenses, they
could settle for the same themselves.
The schools must live within the means
provided by the council. To this the
city attorney was agreed.
The city clerk was finally instructed
to offer the board of education the Mer-
rill property on Utah street.
Judge Townsend reported that Judge
Buckler has decided against the city in
the test tax suit case, and said the
court was very technical in his deci-
sion. The council appointed Messrs
Coldwell, Stewart and Roberts as a
committee to report scheme for col
lecting the city taxes.
The matter of election of school

said he had neglected to order an
election, but would call an election lat

Judge Coldwell reported that the
validity of the levy for the artesiar
well sinking and interest fund would be
questioned, and recommended that the
levy for that fund be added to the gen.

Gambling Houses. Opium Joints, Dance

Monthly or Quarterly.

The city council met last night In
the usual way, and did the Gus tomary
amount of verbal thrashing round
The mayor reported having carried
out the will of the council with refer
ence to the contract with the FL Paso
Water company for a two years option.
The city attorney offered an ordin-
ance levying taxes according to the
already published scale, and then as a
sort of side dish read the statue here
in made and provided" etc, etc, for
the enlightenment of the honorable
body.
Mr.. Clifford thought the ordinance
might as we'll as not be adopted I'M
mediately. Judge Coldwen objected
to rushing that tax levy through anu
wished it made the special order for
an extra meeting. Mr.. Clifford did
not agree with the eminent barrlSter.
Delay was not necessary, and besides
the assessor and collector was dying to
Get through his work with the end OF
the year. "The more haste the less
speed"
Mr. Clifford, however, still insisted
that it was time now to pass that ord
nance. Judge Coldw declared there
was a matter of great Importance in
connection with that ordinance that
| he desired to look into in onjunction
with the city attorney. The special
| matter of interest was the last clause,
beginninp there shall be levied and
| collected -
The Judge said that in the last few
years the liquor tax as affecting the
State had been changed. 1t formerly
might be half as much as the state tax,
| but now it might be as much as the
county tax It would be culpable care
| lessness to rush this matter through
Mr.. Clifford was finally squelched, and
| the ordinance was referred to the or
dinance committee who will report or
| the same Saturday night.
| Mr. Kachler, for the police commit
| tee, recommended the purchase o
seventeen pairs of blankets at 20 cents
per pair for the city Jail. The recon
mendation was adopted. Mr.. kachle
then read the following report relative
to taxing the semi-criminal classes.

stopped imposing fines in order to
witness the outcome, or to see what the
result would be, which is: That we
have gam bling, opium joints and dance
houses still with us, and are at the
same time compelled to give police
protection 10 our citizens, with not
too robust special fund to pay from and
depreciating each month.
"Iherefore, also it appears too, that
we are discriminating against the class
of criminals above mentioned in that
prostitutes for instance-are fined
and the rest are not.
Therefore, your committee would
recommend that each class of these
offenders, gamblers, gambling house
keepers, proprietors of opium joints,
prostitutes, keepers of houses of pros
titution or dance houses be required to
pay monthly or quarterly fine as may
be deemed best in your discretion, but
would further recommend that dance
houses be required to pay at least five
dollars per night, and that every effort
be used to stamp out the opium joints
entirely"
Mr. Roberts put himself squarely on
record as desirous of stamping out the
opium joints. The report was adopted
by an unanimous vote, and then referred
to the police committee, city attorney
and recorder for a scale OF fines.
Mr. Stewart, for the finance commit
tee, reported these bills, which were
allowed;
