COUNCIL FORECAST
Business to Come Before the City
Fathers Today

Today'S regular session of the city
council, while it will be most important
from the nature of the measures which
will be considered, does not promise to
be productive of any Of those squa bibles
or wrangles which have been known to
disturb the serenity of the session If
not the consciences of the members. If
there is any fighting to be done, not per-
sonal difficulties but preliminary wrang-
ling, 1t will be by persons who have pro-
ests to present or objections to make
to some proposed measure and not by
members Of the council.
Among the measures in which large
number Of persons are directly interest
ed will be the report Of the board Of pub-
lie works on the matter of the adoption
Of a boulevard route. The fact that>the
Adobe road route is to be recommended
was published yesterday.
The ordinance Of intention for the
new lighting contract will be presented
by the city engineer If he can possibly
get the measure ready for presen tation.
He did not have this rather difficult
task completed up to late Saturday
night, and it may possibly have to go

enable many property owners to file
additional petitions for lights with the
courcilmen ting their wards.
The numerous protests that have been
made against street work will come UP
for hearing and this will consume much
time if all of the protestants appear.
The Hoover street protest is one which
will doubtless be most vigorously
fought
No report will be made by the board
of health as to a means of securing to
the city proper protection against the
practice Of selling diseased meats. That
matter is still in the hands Of a commit
tee Of the board of health who will re-
port at special meeting to be held some
time this week.
In the matter of the petition Which
will be filed asking that public morgue
be provided, there is every prospect of
a lively contest. AS has been published
the city will receive a proposition for
the establishment of morgue free Of
all cost to the city from a local under
taking firm. The acceptance of this
proposition will be contested by ne
otner unuertakerS, eltner IN the cuuncii
or in the committee to which the matter
will be referred; or in both cases.

Undertakers Shaping for
a Deadly Scrap
HAS THE CORONER A CORNER?
ONE FIRMS VERY ENTERPR1S-
ING OFFER
The Story of Two Petitions-Unfor-
tunately the City Hasn't Enough
Stuff for the Institution

AS a result of the efforts that are being
made at present to secure for the city
a public morgue, there is certainty of
a lively, or rather deadly, fight, on one
side of which will appear nearly all the
undertakers in the city and on the other
one, or possibly two, undertaking firms
and perhaps the coroner. The contest
will take place either in the open session
of the city council today or at meeting
Of a committee of that body. The lat
ter scene is the more probable, but in the
event of a decision either way by the
committee the fight may be later con-
tinued in the council.
Last Monday Coroner Campbell pre-
sented a petition asking the council to
esta blish a morgue and pointed out the
necessity for such an institution. This
petition was referred to the board of
public works. Although that body held
two meetings during the week no action
was taken on the petition. Shortly be-
fore the hour for closing the clerks Of
flee Saturday afternoon a monster petit
ton was filed in which the same recon-
mendations were made as those con-

Fun and frolic were the order Of the

good time and the majority certainly
succeeded. Beer and beef, with side en-

from the city and country, dressed in

wanted answered. Finally she ambled
up. with her partner. But the bloomer
girl disappointed them. She wouldn't
consent to compete. She didn't care to
do anything quite SO public, she didn't.

meekly, but his pleading was drowned
by the others, who urged. and urged the
bloomer girl to run, but to no purpose.
The five la0.es ranged themselves in
a line. "Go!" shouted some one in the
rear Of the crowd. The breeze waited
the sound over the heads Of those in
front, and one of the ladies heard 1t.
Away she darted down the line at a
Nancy Hanks gait. The others thought
they had not heard the signal, and start
ed after her. ''Too much skirts" solilo-
quized by-stander, as one of the beau
ties slowly picked herself up and BRUSH
ed the dirt from her dress, at the
same time rubbing pair of bruised
knees vigorously. Foul" yelled one
Of the judges, "the race will have to be
run over"
Another start was made, and this
time all the petticoats got off together.
''It was a lovely race and won by the
sweetest girl in the lot" said the pro-
prietor of steak dispensary a few min
utes later as he paid for his fourteenth
glass of beer. But it's pity the same
girl fell both times. No telling what
she might have done"
Then everybody went back to the pa
vilion to dance or else to one of the
counters TO eat and drink little more.
AT last it was time to so home, and
the dancing ceased, but the fun ard
frolic did not. Everybody felt happy
and they let it be known on the way
home. AS the last ca pulled out, the

tanned in the coroner'S communication.
This petition contained the names of
nearly three hundred of the best known
citizens of the city, including all of the
undertakers. AS the two petitions were
almost identical and were positively so
as to what was recommended, it was
supposed that the latter petition signed
by the business men and property own
ers was intended as an approval of what
the coroner had done and was for the
purpose of furthering the matter.
The first complication was in the shape
of an announcement, published yester-
day, by Messrs. Kregelo & Bresee that
if the city would accept their offer they
would furnish morgue free of all cost
The publication of this offer has brought
out all of the facts with reference to the
matter, and according to the statements
made by other undertakers, the facts are
different from what would be supposed
from simple perusal of the petitions
and the offer of free morgue
Several days before Cororsr Campbell
sent in his petition to the city council a
number of the leading undertakers in
the city began the circulation of petit
ton which was filed later. They had no
difficulty whatever in securing sigma
lures, for the necessity for such a public
improvement is admitted by every body.
Every person to whom the petition was
presented signed it save one, and that
exception was Coroner Campbell. 1t
happened that the petition was present
ed to him on Monday morning while
the council was in session. He de-
clined to afliX his signature to it, the
reason he gave for the refusal rot being
reported. Nothing was thought of this
then, except that some of those interest
ed in the petition thought it strange that
he should refuse, but the. sequel came
when at the afternoon session of the
council the cororier sent in a petition
signed only by himself making iden-
tically the same request al the. others in
tended making later. 1t therefore ap-
peared that he had taken the intiatory
steps in the matter, but instead he had
used the other fellows thunder.
Had it not been for the offer made by
Kregelo & Bresee that might have ended
the matter but that offer started the
fight in earnest. The und,artakers who
began the circula tion of the petition now
openly charge that the coroner gives to
that firm and,to Orr & Hires all the bust
ness which he gets, to the exclusion of
all other urdertakers. They also make
broad hints that that is not all there is
in this favoritism, and that his motives
are not simply based upon friendship
for the firms mentioned. They assert
that If the offer to be made to the coun-
| ell today of free morgue is accepted it
will be unfair to all other un6fertakers,
as it will give to the firm making the of
fer an advantage, and that the city will
become party to favoritsm. They
claim that if morgue is to be estab-
lished it should be controlled by the city

retailed at cents a glass. Keg after
