BEST TO PRESS THE INQUIRY.
Mr.. Cox stated TO a reporter that ne
knew nothing personally as TO the truth
of the rumors, but now that the point
had been raised he thought 1t best to
press forward the investigation with all
possible haste. The Sons of Veterans
History Committee now forms part or
the veteran body, and the request en-
bodied in Lee Camps resolution, that the
Grand Commander OF the Sons should
act in the matter, is taken to indicate
that charges are also TO be preferred
against some OF their members.
There is to be an important meeting of
the local camp OF Sons Of Veterans to-
morrow night. and the entertainment ar
ranged for that night has been post
noned In consequence. Mr.. Lewis Brander
said last night that the principal busi-
ness of the meeting would be the intro
auction of a resolution asking for the APP
nointment Of committee to investigate
rumors and charges against members or
the camp in connection with their con-
duct when Mr.. Massie was anathema-
tized by resolutions introduced on the
foor of the camp by one OF the members.
The other business will relate to the re-
cent criticism of Pickett Camp.

The regular meeting of the council
Saturday night was presided over by
Mayor Pfau, and all of the aldermen
were present.
A petition was received from resi-
dents of South Fourth and Parsons
streets, asking the council to establish
the width of the street between the
curb lines at "a feet and to establish
the height of the curb at three inches
below the grade of the street. 1t was
referred to the street committee.
A petition for the curling and gut
g5ering of Walnut street between
Front and Second streets was received
and referred to the board of public
works.
A petition for a crOss-walk at the
west corner Of South Fourth and Lin
coin streets and thence to Liberty
street along the east line of the trl-
angle was received and referred to the
street committee.

The Weed Nuisance.

Aid. Bradley said that for the past
two weeks the street force has been
at work on a private lot adjoining AS
SCISSOR Lille, in West Mankato. The
lot was grubbed and improved. He
had heard no orders for this work in
the council, and wanted to know
whether the city was in the business
of improving private property.
Inspector Halstead said that the lot
was covered with burdocks and he had
cleaned it and spoken to Mr.. Lille to
have the cost assessed against the
owner, who is nonresident. He had
cleaned several other lots. 1t was a
disgrace to have such weedy lots in
the city.
Aid. Zimmerman saw no reason for
any noise about this work when the
city had cleaned vaults for prominent
people, costing S25 each, and had not
been reimbursed.
Mr.. Lille said that Mr.. Halstead
had been appointed weed agent two
years ago and still holds his office.
Mayor Pau said that there is a
state law requiring that certain weeds
be cut.
Aid. Petersen said that Mr.. Hal
stead had been censured in the past
for not cutting weeds. He would like
to have him come to his neighbor-
hood as there are plenty of weeds.
Aid. Fritz asked whether the weeds
on vacant lots could not be cut and
the cost charged to the owners. This
would beautify the city. There were
several lots in his vicinity with weeds
seven or eight feet high.
The discussion waxed rather
lengthy, and the city attorney agreed
to look up the law on the matter.
Chief Yates reported twenty-foul
arrests and six dodgers during July.
The monthly reports of the City
treasurer and the clerk Of the munici
pal court were presented, as already
published.

a long list of sidewalks that need re.
pairing, and it was referred to the
street committee.
The city engineer reported per-
NIT granted to the L. Patterson Mer-
camille Co. to put an area under it's
sidewalk, 66X9 feet.
Mr.. Thompson reported that the
areas under the sidewalk on the Main
street side of The Saulpaugh are made
with plank side and are unsafe and
endanger the street, and recommend
ed that proper stone wall be ordered,
and that the sidewalk be made Of
stone or cement. 1t was referred to
the street committee.
The builders bond of KleinSchmidt
Bros, for 81 1000, with Nicholas Klein
schmidt and John G. Thro as sureties,
was received and approved.
The street committee made report
of the location of telephone poles,
with a map, and the report was &C.
cepted.

The City Printing.

Aid. Brady said that something
ought to be done in regard to the city
printing.
Mayor Pau said that he was of the
opinion that he had no vote on reso-
luton. Others differed with him on
this, and he might be wrong. He said
that he would refuse to vote on the
ground that he had no authority. This
would allow the question to be taken
to the supreme court on a mandamus
proceeding. This would settle vexed
question. The charter says that a
resolution shall be adopted by ma
jority of the council. 1t formerly
read majority of those present. The
latter must have been left out in order
that majority of all shall vote, which
is four, and there can then be no tie, in

Sewers Gets Nothing.

A recess was taken to allow the
committee on claims and accounts to
consider several matters. When the
committee returned, it reported ad-
versely on the claim of r. o. Sewers
for $45 for a horse killed by accident
caused by the steam roller. 1t held
that there was no neglect on the part
of the steam roller and that the city
was not liable. The report was
adopted.
Aid. Adams said that he had looked
around for place for pound and
could fine none but that back of the
city hall. He asked for further time
to report.
Mayor Pfau suggested that the rear
of the city hall lot would be better
place for ducks than for a pound.
The market committee reported
that it had had trouble looking for a
new place for market. 1t had not
been successful, but when it was 1T
would report. Further time was
given for it to report.
