| no money at present with which to
build the sewer, but that there was
| proposition to submit to the people
the question of bonding the city for a
sewer system, but this is indefinite and
may not be accepted. The matter is a
| serious one and if the board has power
| to protect the people of the city as a
| matter of urgency, he thought it
| should take action at once.
Trustee Devine thought the work
could be done SO as to be finished by
January 1st and paid for after the new
year. He moved that the. City Sur
| veyor be instructed to prepare plans
and specifications for the extension of
the sewer from L street to G.
The motion was carried and on mo-
ton of Trustee Dolan the matter was
referred to the Corporation Counsel, to
report as to whether the sewer could
be legally built in that way.

mittee, said he had asked the Chief
Engineer at the Water Works to go
down with him and investigate the con-
dition Of the machinery at the sewer
plant, but the latter had replied that
he could not go down, as there was no
one to take his place and it would be
necessary to have some one to do so.

ferred to the Chief Of Police.

A SLICK" TRICK.
Gus Hess was granted a license at
91S Second street, the saloon where the
license of Mrs. Cody was revoked, the
matter being cleverly slipped through
the board, without number Of the
members knowing what they were
granting and without reference to the
Chief of Police.
Trustee Tebbets suggested that While
the Fire Department had extra horses,
there were none to relieve the horses
on the patrol wagon and perhaps
team might be secured for its feed I'M
til the first Of the year, when there
would be money to buy a team with.
The suggestion was put in the shape Of
a motion to refer to the Police Com
mittee and carried.
The board then went into executive
session on the matter Of Driver Madi-
gan and finally decided to suspend him
for thirty days or until November 1st
without pay.
Trustee Devine had discovered that
one Of the members Of the Fire De-
partment who was suspended short
time ago, was getting in ten days vaca-
ton during his suspension and on mo-
ton of Trustee Dolan the matter was
referred to the Chief Engineer for in
vestigation.
