ported that it had received bids for mat
ting for the Jail building, and that c. M.
Campbell was the lowest bidder The
committee was instructed to purchase
the mating from him.
Devine reported that he had discov-
cred that after p. m. there was no one
at the police station with authority to
issue a warrant for the arrest of GRIM
inals who assault citizens. He moved
that the Night Sergeant be authorized
to issue warrants after 6 p. m.
Kent moved that the Corporation
Counsel be requested to give the board
an opinion as to how it can have some
one at the station at all times night and
day to issue warrants.
ToZer. for the Finance Committee, re-
ported that he did not think the board
could accept the bid of Baker & Hamil-
ton for the coal scales. The Standard
Scale Company was the next lowest bid
| der.
Devine advocated making a contract
for the scales, saying the city ought to
have them in order to see that it gets
| full weight He moved the contract be
made.

form scales for coal cars. There are sew
eral private establishments that burn
as much coal as the city does and they
do not buy platform scales, but have
their coal passers weigh it as 1t is
| brought to the furnaces.
The motion of Devine was lost by
tie vote.
Bentley moved the matter be referred
| to the Water Committee to investigate
and report how large a scale was needed
to weigh the coal by the firemen.
| THE POUND.
! The communication of the Humane
Society asking that the pound be turned
over to it and the old rate for dog scalps
/ be returned to, was read.
| Devine, in heated speech, denounced
! the rate for scalps as robbery and
chance to loot the treasury. He had
rather pay Poundmaster Cooksley SlZo
a month than return to dog scalps. He
had been a good and humane Pound
master. and had run the pound in an
excellent manner He did not want the
Humane Society getting it's fingers into
the public treasury.
Poundmaster Cooksley explained that
he could not live and take care of the
pound at the present price as he had to
have two assistants.
The matter was postponed for a week.
TWELFTH STREET ACCEPTED.
! The matter of accepting Twelfth street,
from to r, was taken up, and Kent

and he would vote for no more pancake
streets"

structed to sign the assessment roll
accepting the street.
