missioner Walker Gives His
Views-Other Opinions.

pursuant to a call special meeting
Of the city council was held last night
70 discuss the matter of a remedy for
the unpleasant odor which arises from
I Inc stalls of the fire horses and per-
neates the court room Mayor Lesser,
Aldermen Dalton, Davidson. FitzPat-
rick, Hammill, Gangner johnson, Pct
ritz Shuttle and Devine were present.
After Clerk O'Leary had read the call
Mayor Lesser stated that he had been
waited upon by the chairman of the
board of county commissioners who
had requested that the city council take
some immediate action for freeing the
! district court room of the horsy smell
me mayor thought the question of suf-
! Hclent Importance to hold a special
meeting, hence the call.
Alderman Petrtz said the proper
| thlng to do was to find out where the
| smell came from and how it came. He
I mad an idea that it was as much the
Iauit OF the sewer system in the build
/ ing as 1t was the fault of the stable
Last summer he had heard number
| or complaints about the sewerage
| Probably the best thing that could be
| done was to have experts examine the
building thoroughly and, if it were
| found necessary To do SO. to build a
stable in the back yard of the city hall
! away from the main building.
| Chairman Walker of the board Of
| county commissioners was present and
was invited to state his opinion on the
matter. Mr.. Walker said that last week
| the board took trip through the build
ing and discovered whence the fumes
came. He said that the wall in the rear
OF the council chamber was a hollow
wall. and it was through that the odor
came through this wall Smith &
Black, architects. had told him that
they thought the wall could be fixed so
That little or none of the smell would
come through for $3.50. Before the
board had looked the building ever. the
district judge had instructed him to
ma another place in which to hold
court. Owing to the fact that the coun-
" had gone to the expense of placing
the room in condition for a court cham
Der, IN the way of carpets, furniture
etc, the commissioners disliked very
much to be compelled to move out lie
did not know of another place that
could be had suitable for a court room
If the city would remedy the evil. that
would be the easiest way out of the
matter. The plan that Smith & Black /
mad proposed was to build brick wall
behind the wainscoating and fill in be-
hind With plaster.
Alderman Davidson said the question
was all new to him. He did not know |
that the city hail had been turned into
a livery stable. If what Mr. Walker
said were true, the proper thing to do +
was TO get some one to undertake the /
water. afte,. - - y "ouid mona
