COMMON COUNCIL.

For the committee on finance, Chair
man Sturgcs recommended the passage,
under suspension of the rules, of bills for
ordinances authorizing the issue OF $3.50, =
| 600 water bonds: the issue of $500 900
sewer bonds; the issue of $500 600 high
way bonds; and the issue of 500. 600
school bonds, to run for thirty years at
| four per cent
These issues are for the purpose of
| funding floating debts amounting to
81, 4iO, 900, held by the sinking fund com
missioners.
Mr. Sturges explained that IL was neces-
sary TO pass the bills last night as it was
desired TO have all the bids i'm by March
% and to issue the bonds on April |. and
that in the meantime it would be adyis-
able TO advertise the sale in London as
well as in New York and Boston and
Furthermore that at the present time
money can be hired on most advantageous
terms.
The bills were passed by unanimous
vote of 80. Mr.. Swarts was absent and Mr.
Stephen A. Cooke was excused from vot-
ing because he didn't know anything
about the matter.
There was red hot debate over the
twin resolutions relative to band con-
certs during July and August and rela-
tive to the Fourth of July appropriation.
The original resolution for the Fourth of
July celebration called for $1,000 AS
IL came back from the finance committee
last night it was amended by substituting
$500 for $1,000 but with 1t was q resolu-
tion TO appropriate $1,000 for the providing
of afternoon and evening concerts at the
different parks during July and August.
Mr. Sturgcs made n strong plea for
quiet celebration of the Fourth and advo-
Gated the experiment of different observ-
ance as change from the expe nsive
affairs of previous years
He also advocated the passage Of the
concert resolution. This was supported
it provided for Sunday concerts This
made him indignant and as member of
the Sunday school convention he regis
tered his protest.
Mr. Sturgcs argued that the providing
of decent entertainments on Sundays,
under the proper regulations which pre-
vail in the city parks, would go long
way toward solving the Sunday question
and provide substitute for the more
questionable methods which poor people
are forced 90 adopt for the recreation, ON
the only day of the week when they can
have recreation.
Councilmon West, BurJlick and Shcahan |
talked hard for the $1,000 for the Fourth |
and Mr.. West said that If the Tenth ward |

replied "Uncl Ward" He took q long
dinner horn from Its rack over the door
and going out doors blew several shrill
blasts. Within an hour q congregation

Politically the Malungeons were Wings

have been Republicans They are very
clannish and In Republican primaries they
all support the same man, while at regular
elections they vote the Republican ticket

during the last 200 years. They still live
in the log cabin, and while many OF the
younger men have the improved Winches-

tinue to use the long homemade squirrel
rifles, which invariably hang ON rack
above the old-fashioned fire place. They
are hospitablc to degree, and no
stranger, unless they think he is revenue

the best in the mountains and it is freely

tempered with wild mountain honey.

Hathaway Made Dog Officer
on the Eighth Ballot.
A Lively Debate Over Fourth of
July and Sunday Observance.

Both branches of the City Council met
last night and the legislation of the ses-
sion was of more general interest than
that of any other since the Inauguration
of the present city government.
Registration Commissioner Charles f..
Smith was reelected, for term of three
years, in joint convention, by majority
of thirteen over all on the first ballot.

The city of Providence, Mr. Mccarthy
