Th?re was meeting of the city
council lest evening hut it was only
after great deal Of hard work on
the part of contractor, John J. Rea,
that the meet ng was held. The
mayer and recorder were on deck
early and ready for business but
up to $50 o'clock not one of the
city dads" had put in their ap-
pearance. Col. Rea arrived on the
scene at about this time and when
he learned that it was the desire
and wish of some of those present
that there should be a meeting OF
the council he made the telephone
wires hot for short time and it
was not very long until the mem
bers of the municipal body com
menced to come in like stray sheep
into the fold.
- The first man &c show up was
councilman Harry H. Work, who
was detained at the store some time
with rush of business. w. c..
Hays was the next man to show
up and shortly afterward DR.. West
showed no and the council was
called to order about 9 o'clock with
the Mayor and Recorder in their
position.
The first business transacted was
the reading of the minutes of the
previous regulars sion which were
ordered to stand approved as read.
The minutes of the special meeting
held last Thursday evening were
also read and ordered approved.
/ Under the head of street com.
mittee business, the Mayor report:
ed the streets in a very dirty con-
dition and West stated that the
commissioner had been ordered to
do the work. Sytert reported and
wanted to know why the city so
licitor had not drawn up a contract
between the city and the contract
ors who are doing the street paving.
West suggested that the Mayor
issue writ against the city solicitor
to show cause why he had not at
tended to his work. The people
living along the extension of Hill
street have been making a protest
to having that stie3t paved and
West brought the matter to the at
tention of the Council and on mo
ton of Work a committe of the en-
tire council was appointed to look
after the matter and report at the
next meeting. The committee was
INSTRUCTED to meet at the Office of
DR.. West today at one o'clock and
examine the street.
Under the head of finance the
committee reported there was moth
ing to report.
Then the matter of general busi-
ness was opened up. Uuder this
head E, J. Millar stated that some
time ago he had handed in a bill of
'expenses incurred in the Maloney
case. amounting to something like
Sly. The bill had been laid over
and Mr.. Millar stated that he would
Elike to have the matter settled in
some manner if it was convenient
with the council.
There were a number of other
bills, among which was one by
Davis, cax enter, for repairing the

roof of the city building. 1t seemed
to be the sense OF the council that
the bill was exorbitant and it had
been laid over for some time.
There was considerable discussion
over this bill and some of the
council were Of the opinion that it
would be much better to have a
new roof put on the city building
than to have a carpenter continu-
ally employed in repairing it, Mr..
Davis insisted that the council take
some action in the matter, but it
was passed by.
John J. Rea submitted an esti-
mate which had been furnished him
by the city engineer, which showed
that there was due him SI,52o.6o
on street paving contracts which
he had done. The bill was for the
curbing and excavating done on
the wharf and on Catherine street
and Mccoy avenue. There ap
peared to be no objection to the
bill. At this point a gentleman
from Wheeling, representing Rob.
ert w. Kyle, the plumber, who had
the contract for the plumbing of
the. city building. There was some
additional work done on the city
building, which some were of the
1inion that this work should have
been paid for by the contractors of
the building. The extra charges
were made by the changes made
in the building, whereby the floor
of the council chamber was low
e~ed, and for extras which were
furnished by the contractors and
amounted to $3.50.
The council informed Mr.. Kyle's
representative that whenevy.- he
would show that the city of Sisters
vile owed his firm the amount
statd it would be paid.
The request of Mr.. Rea for an,
order tor $I,52o 90 was granted.
The request of James Boston for
exonerating from paying taxes on
dog was considered and the matter
was laid over until the next meeting
of council.
William Neuenschwander ap-
peared before the council and asked
to be exor Grated from paying ex.
cessive taxes and the request was
granted and the sargeant was in
structed to attend to the matter at
once.
Mr.. Miller's bill was again
brought up and took up a great
deal of time in discussion after
which motion by Work seconded
by Hays the bill was ordered AL
lowed.
c. R. Kerr petitioped that the
council draft and pass an ordinance
similar to that which controls other
business Of the city compelling
itinerant photographers to pay a.
license amounting to certain sum.
He stated that these people came
into the town and stayed for some
time to the detriment of his bust.
ness. The council seemed to be
of the opinion that something
SHOULD be done. The fact that the
city solicitor was not present ap.
peared to be the only reason why it
was not drafted and passed. The
matter caused a great deal of dis.
cussion and on motion of Sybert it
was referred to the solicitor with
instructions to amend the ordinance
governing other itinerant ped
dlers.
Through DR.. Wells, a member of
the school board, the council was
asked to appoint the janitor cf the
city schools as special officer, for
the reason that very frequently his
services are needed about the build,

was not a Republican, nor a

made any speeches for bimetalI-
ism nor tore his shirt for the

not a prohibitionist, and often
took a little for the stomach s
sake" He was poor business
man and was guilty Of the un-
statesmanlike act Of refusing to
take his salary as general of the
continental army. He is even
said to have gone out of office
poorer than when he entered it..
He abode with his army and
shared their privations instead of
gettingin on the ground floor on
some beef contract, and was
actually caught on his knees
