Outstanding had been that the city
would pay half the expense of the
culvert. Other aldermen corroborated
this, and Mr.. Porter said that this ex-
PLANTATION was satisfactory
W. N. Plymat addressed the coun-
Gil on behalf of the John Goodwin es-
tate and said that he had understood
that the city was to pay foI the cul.
vert across the street, and the city to
pay half of the cost of that along the
property line.
II developed that this was also the
understanding of the aldermen.
Aid. Fritz moved that the board of
public works put down sidewalk on
Fourth street, between Hickory and
Jackson streets, OF the north side.
The fact was recalled that there is
no grade on that part of Fourth street,
and Aid. Zimmerman thought tina t
under the circumstances it would be
an unjust tax on the property owne RS
or else an expense to the city. When
grade was established the walk
would have to be relaid.
Aid. Bradley thought that if the
people there want sidewalk th ey
should have petitioned for it. He
said that the council should not force
the people there to lay walk where
there is no grade.
The motion was lost on tie.
Aid. Fritz explained that people
living there had asked that a grade
be established and that then they be
allowed to build their walks.
On Aid. Fowler's motion, the mat
ter was referred to the street com :
mittee.
The matter of insuring the pump
ing station boiler against loss by ex.
plosion was referred to the committee
on city property. The city can be in
Identified to the amount of $40 900 for
three years for 800. This ensures
the city against loss by injury to per
sons and property. Two companies
want the insurance.

about So, 200 as estimates on the GEN.

penses in each ward, pay roll in all
departments of the city of $685.. 10,
and $50 to W. B. Davies for typewrit-
ing on the new city charter. ALI the
bills footed up to 4,7l7.
A bill for $4S Sc for lumber used in
the street fair was presented, but the
council did not pay it, feeling that it
had done enough.
The meeting was presided over by
Vice-President Petersen and all of
the aldermen were present. 1t was
the first meeting held in nearly a
month.

MISTAKE OF 66.
w. w. PaddOck's Majority is
Increased to l29.
The Canvassing Board Finds That There
Were JOkers Abroad on Election
Day.

The county canvassiDg board, con-
sisting of Auditor Gunders, Commits
sioner Graf, Justice Curtin Cooper, of
Decoria, and Justice ]. E. Drews. of
Sterling, began its labors at nine
o'clock Friday and continued
in session until the entire vote had
been canvassed, which was some
time Saturday morning. The re-
turns from the city and several of the
towns were canvassed Friday.
Only one error of any moment had
thus far been discovered. and that
was in the return of the Fifth ward
on county commissioner. The returns
indicated that w. w. Paddock's vote
was 2l1, whereas it was 277. This in
creased his total vote in the city to
9O3, to TIA votes received by @. T.
Taylor, giving Mr.. Paddock a majority
of 1919 instead of So, as previously re-
ported. Had the error been the other
way, it would have been sufficiently
great to have elected Mr.. Taylor.
The judges found a number OF &C.
centric ballots cast. In Beaufort, A
w. Robinson received one vote for
school superintendent. In the Sec
ond ward somebody gave Abraham
Leib one vote for district Judge. A.

LITTLE JAKE.
The Council Takes a Push at
Him.
He Is Rolled All Around Because of Bills
Presented For Assistance in
Janit0r Work.

The council didn't do thing to
Little Jake HThursday but push him
all around for alleged incompetence
to perform the duties of Janitor of
the city hall. That city dignitary
was not present to take up his own
defense, but the council is apt to hear
from him at the next meeting unless
it pulls in it's horns.
The trouble has been brewing for a
long time, because of bills that have
come in for assistance in cleaning the
city hall, One official who is familiar
with the doings at the city hall states
that it is costing the city S65 month
to have the hall taken care of, while
it could be done for half of that sum
One man and two women are paid
monthly by the city for helping the
ianitor to take care of the building.
Among the bills presented at last
nights session of the council was one
for this assistance rendered the jani-
tor.
Aid. Fowler said that another jani-
tor would have to be secured. The
janitor is appointed by the council
and approved by the mayor, and the
question is, show are we to get rid of
him?" According to the charter.
charges must be preferred in order to
get rid of him. AS long as janitor
was hired to do certain work, and
someone else has to be hired to do
the work, something should be done.
At the same time the alderman felt
very kindly toward the present jani-
tor, personally
Aid. Bradley said that as long as
the janitor has not certificate to
run the boiler, a change should be
made for the safety of the city. The
Offices of janitor and poundmaster
should be separate. He was not will
ling longer to vote to pay man who
is Incapable of doing the work for
which he was hired. Others have to
be paid to do the work, and it is not
right.
Aid. Fritz said that he understood
that the council could declare a va
cancy, and then fill the vacancy. He
moved that the office be declared va
can't.
Aid. Fowler said that it would be
necessary to prefer charges and give
Little Jake chance to appear in his
own behalf or else to resign.
Aid. Zimmerman said that the
charter provides that the council
shall elect the janitor. and the mayor
shall appoint the poundmaster.
1t was suggested that Little Jake
be placed upon the pension list, and
someone else secured to do the work.
Aid. Fowler moved that the city at
torney be asked whether the council
can declare the Office vacant. The
matter was left over until the next
meeting by general consent.
