AFRAID OF THE SMOKE.

Some Citizens Seek to Get the Mill Resolu-
tion Rescindea by the Council.
There was full attendance of the city
council at the regular monthly meeting
last night, and also goodly number of
citizens assembled to take part IN the
proceedings.
After the reading of the minutes of the
previous meeting, DR.. Dodge was intro
duced on behalf of the committee ap-
pointed by the citizens mass meeting
some time ago to adopt ways and means
to establish hospital at the university.
He concluded by asking for $1,000 from
the city. In return, the hospital would
guarantee free bed for the poor and
INDECENT of the city. DR.. Giffin, also of
the committee, supplemented the re-
marks by showing the demand for such
an institution IN the town and made
strong plea on behalf of the city physi-
clans. On motion the petition was refer
red to the finance committee to report at
the next meeting.
The petition of the new mill company
for the fixing of water rate for the
works was then reported on by the water
committee with recommendation to
place the charge at $500. The report
was adopted. Some discussion was in
dulged in relative to the rights Of the
city to sell water to concern without
the city limits, but it was decided that
the city could do so without danger of
legal entanglements.
Mr.. Mccoy on behalf of the sanitarium
spoke at some length, detailing the pur'
poses and scope of that institution. He
was followed by Mr.. Spriggs, who asked
that the city lend financial aid to the
Wall Street Gold Miner in getting out
its New Years edition. The matter was
referred to the finance committee, as
was also the request OF Mr.. Garwood 10
reopen the question of placing a city ad
in the college publication.

al citizens present were permitted to
enter protest against the granting OF
the right of way to the mill people, SO as
to prevent the location Of the mill at the
mouth of the canon. 1t was urged that
the smoke from the mill would prove a
nuisance to the residents on the south
side of the creek and that the citizens
were therefore strongly opposed to the
granting of any right which would allow
the establishment of the mill at the place
proposed. Prof. DeLong spoke at some
length on the subject and concluded by
asking that the resolution passed by the
council at its last meeting be resclnded,
A motion to that effect was put by Alder
man Earl and defeated by vote OF four
to three, the vote standing as follows:
Ayes, Fisher, Earl Autrey; nays, Morrl-
son, Russell, Coan, Hubbard; not voting,
Temple. On motion by Mr.. Temple
the mill company were asked to draft
an ordinance outlining the right OF way
desired and present the same to spec
ial meeting of the council to be hel d
Wednesday night.
The council then took up the consider
alton of the plumbing licenses of Hall
and Sullivan, referring both to the proper
committees.
County Attorney Ives presented a
claim OF $3.50 for damages resulting from
bicycle accident caused by neglected
streets. The claim was rejected.
The consideration of bills and a few
other matters of secondary importance
before them were disposed of and the
council adjourned till Wednesday night.
