Alex. Smith said that he and two
others had been appointed by the Fire
Department as a committee to request
Council to exempt all members of the
Department from paying water rent.
Mr.. johnson moved that Council
procure policeman's regulation over
coat for the Bailiff.
Mr.. Nickel said there should be an
amount fixed, and moved an amend
ment making an appropriation of $15
to purchase an overcOat for Bailiff.
Amendment carried.
The matter of exempting members
of Fire Department from paying water
rent was then taken up. The Mayor
said that 1t could not be done as it was
illegal. Council could not exempt any
one from paying taxes. and he so
ruled. He had heard of the matter
and consulted the Attorney, although
he knew before he had seen him that
it was illegal. He further said that
everyone knew how he stood in re-
gard to the Fire Department; he was
always willing to do anything for
them, but in this matter it was out of
the question. If the matter was prop
erly explained to the Department it
would be voted down four to one. 1t
had not been given any consideration
by the members, but had been brought
up and rushed through at one of the
meetings by member who had made
it hobby for some time, and the man
who made the motion and advocated it
haG never dirtied two shirts at fires.
The water question was then discuss
ed thoroughly. Messrs. Shuckhart and
d. d. Price advocated boring an ar
tesian well on this side Of Big Savage
mountain. Mr.. Nickel wanted Water
committee to give Council an estimate
of the cost of drilling well, and the
would get the funds to cover the eX-
expense.
The Hunt pavement matter was then
discussed at some length, Council final
ly agreeing that if Mr.. Hunt would
repair his pavement so that it would
not be dangerous they would let it
alone until spring.
The Bailiff informed them that Mr..
Hunt had repaired his pavement and
moved the blockade.
The bills were then read, among
which was one for $50 for making out
water bills for the quarter ending Sep
TENDER 80
This brought Mr.. Nickel to his feet
with an inquiry as to the cause.
The Mayor informed him that the
Water superintendent was so busy that
he could not find time to make out the
bills; so Fred. Bepler had been employ
ed to do it and it had taken him six
days.
Mr.. Nickel said "the law stated ex-
phcitly that the Water superintendent
should have charge of the books and
make out all bills for water rent.
Council in the spring had consolidated
the offices of Street supervisor and
Water Superintendent for the purpose
of saving, but he found that great
part Of the time one of the street hands
had to act rs Street supervisor, and
now here is one item alone for $l2 for
making out water bills, and he failed
20 see where there was any economy
in the change"
Bills to the amount of 81 $3.50 were
then passed and ordered paid.
Adjourned.
