A bill was sent in from the machine
works Of $3.50 for repairs on the fire
steamer. This was about 800 more
than Mr. Clifford had been led to ex-
p c., and b cheerful feature of the bill
va, SO per day for one boiler maker
and helper. Members of the council
rather thought that 81 per day was
amply sufficient. if not too much, ard
the bill was referred back TO Mr.. Cliff
| ford who will have a medicine talk
with MIR. Small.
Mr.. Clifford reported batch OF fire
department bills which had been audit
ed by the department which were al
| lowed. A number of other bills Mr..
Clifford had not had time to scrutinize
were laid over. A bill for four bits per
day for use of wagons in the street
service Was thought by one or two
| aldermen eXOrbitant, out Mr.. Scott
who ought to know said it was all
right, and the matter went at that.
However, it was the sense of the coun.
Gil that the street commissioner should
secure his wagons by special contract
hereafter. The couI ell also thought in
this connection that it was Mr. Solo
mons bu iuess to repair tne sprinkling
Wagons himself instead of expecting
the ty to do it.
A bill sent in by Shaefer's drug store
was referred to the board of health fO1
auditing.
Ass essor ]. H. S NTH asked the coun.
ell to meet as soon as possible as
board of equalization to consider the
| tax rolls for the coming year which
had just been completed. The council
decided to meet at 10 a. m on Monday
| August %.
Rattenbury & Davis petitioned for per
mission to build shed To be covered
with corrugated iron adjoining their
stores. Referred to builuing commit
| tee.
| The already printed protest of the
| Myrtle avenue residents and property
overs against the proposed street rail
| way, was read. Mr.. Clifford said Mr.
| WnltmOre the chairman of the commit
| tee to W hon tie petition for franc hlse
had been referred, was alb cent, but IT
was certainly the sense of the commit
| tee that the petition should not be
granite aud judge Coldweil said it was
| plain that the citizens living Ga the
| avenue did not want the road and that
Dug mt to settle it. Ga Mr.. SCOTS mo-
| ton the council refused to grant the
| petit tion for franchise.
| The following petition was then read:
We, the undersigned res dent citiZens
| of the first ward, would most resp, Ct
| fully call your attention To nuisance
which is being now maintained by the
| Ell Paso Dairy company, j. A. Smith,
| manager. SAID nuisance is filthy
COW pen and dairy conducted on Leon
street near the corner OF San Francis
| co and Leon streets. The manner in
| which this dairy is kept is a great
detriment to our health and property,
and the same is filthy, vulgar and in
decent.
We, therefore, beg and petition your
honorable body to formulate and pass
such necessary ordinances and resoiu-
| lions as will remove and restrain the
same. We ask this for the protection
of our homes and families. Should
you require proof, We are ready and
willing to furnish same.
