RepOrts of Committees.

The committee on ways and means
reported that it would let the matter of
interest on borrowed money rest where
it is. The report was adopted, which
means that no effort will be made to
lower the rate of interest on the float

Difference of Opinion.

Judge Severance appeared before the
council and opposed the construction of
sidewalk on the cart sside of Fifth
street from Glenwood avenue toCherry
street. The walk would benefit no one,
while it would be source of danger
to the city, unless railing was con-
structed the entire 200 feet of the walk,
which would be much above the ad-
jacent land
Aid. Meyer said that the parties inter
ested had sued the city for large
amount. If they had asked for small
amount he would have favored paying
it. Here was chance for compro-
mise, and he would favor the city pay
ing for the walk in case the suits are
withdrawn.
Judge Severance said that if the
council was to act on such principles.
bringing bias and prejudice into it's
acts, nothing farther was to be said.
Aid. Jordan moved to reconsider the
vote on the sidewalk resolution so far
as this walk was concerned. There
was no second to the motion, and the
matter was dropped
Aid. Deebach specified certain inn
provements that the people in Dukes
addition would like to have made, and
they were referred to the street com
mittee

The meeting of the council Friday
was a lengthy one, lasting until after
midnight. This was owing to the re-
port on the examination of the city g
books, which was not completed until
eleven o'clock and required an hour or
more to read The other business be-
fore the council was pushed along with
commendable rapidity, so that it was
necessary to take an hours recess at 10
o'clock. The mayor and all Of the
aldermen were present
The mayor sat down hard on the
proposition to increase the salary of the
policemen, on the ground that it would
be violation of the charter. He had
the following communication on the
subject read:
Mankato, Mimi. Aug. 10, 1899.
To the Honorable Common Council
Gentlemen:-At regular meeting of
the council held on Aug. 4th, 1899, a
motion was made and passed, by a
unanimous vote of the council, all the
aldermen being present, that from and
after July LIST, 1899, the salaries of GER
tain city employees should be raised five
dollars per month each. Now as all or
ders for money to be paid out of the city
treasury must be signed by the mayor
and recorder. I think it proper at this
, time to remind the common council
that in my judgment they had no legal
authority to direct me to violate the
city charter, which expressly provides
the amount of money to be paid as
salary to the aforesaid employees
! have no desire to antagonize the coun-
Gil in this matter, but it is my opinion
after getting legal advice that the coun-
Gil is in error. Were there any discre-
ton left us in this matter by the
charter, I should favor paying the
policemen $50 per month instead of S45
as at present. but you have just as much
right to pay them 500 per month as $50.
Now, have two suggestions to make
to the your honorable body, viz:
First That you apply to the Judge
of the district court for q writ of man
damus requiring me to sign such orders
as would be necessary, to carry out the
action contemplated in the aforesaid

The proposition did not include decora-
tions. The company also offered to
construct ten simple strings of incan-
descent clamps across Front street at
points to be agreed upon in the lighting
district, at the same price Each
string will have about thirty lamps.
The committee recommended that the
second proposition be adopted and that
the committee he authorized to have
more strings put up if necessary. The
report was adopted, Aids. Jordan and
Meyer voting no"
Aid. Jordan opposed the expenditure
as he did not know whether the city
had the authority to use money for
that purpose.
City AttorneyDaily held that the city
had the right to light the streets as it
saw tit.
Aid. Deebach reported that the COM
mittee on parks had erected flag staff
presented to the city by Gen. J. II.
Baker, on the triangle at the corner of
Lincoln, Parson and South Fourth
streets. The cost was 80 The COM
mittee recommended that the park be
be named Baker park, as it has no name
at present.
Aid. Meyer said that the committee,
had no fright to spend money there
without authority of the council.
The motion was carried, Aid. Meyer

MEAT GOES UP.
Advancing Prices of Chops and
Hams.
Cattle Raisers Get Increased Prices, and
Further Rise is
Predicted.

Within the last three weeks general
rise in sthe retail price of meats has
taken place in the twin cities, but the
general advance has not struck Man
kato, although some kinds of meat have
gone up. In this city, pork has gone
up two cents pound, and hams and
bacon two and half cents. Steaks are
holding their own at ten to fifteen
cents, but may go up. The butchers
have been looking for drop in the
price of cattle, which has not yet oc-
Cured. Roast cuts can be had for ten
to twelve and half cents still. Mutton
and veal have been selling for some
time at ten to fifteen cents. Spring
chickens are on the drop, and are
quoted at fifteen cents, and old hens at
ten cents.
The cause of this rise in prices does
not lie with the retail dealer. The
prices paid the wholesale trader are
higher than for several years past.
There has been an increase of 20 to %
per cent in the wholesale price of beef
and pork within a month. Cattle
which could heretofore be obtained for
$5 hundred dressed now cost $6, the
wholesale price of hogs showing even a
greater rise, The advance, therefore,
is due to causes outside the control of
local dealers.
The retail dealers are positive that
the advance is not made by manipula.
ton of combination of the great pack
ing houses They say the meat interests
of the country are too large and too un-
wieldy for prices to be regulated by
ANYTHING but the laws of supply and
demand. All the wholesale dealers
unite in asserting that the advance is
due to the present excess of demand
over supply, and that the benefit of the
increase in values goes to the producer
of the stock and not to the packer.
A local meat dealer stated today that
beef is costing him about sixty per cent
more than it did two years ago. AT
that time he was paying 2i cents on the
hoof, which cost dressed 81 cents. AT
present, cattle cost 81 on the hoof and
81 cents dressed. Farmers and stock
raisers are getting higher prices for

Street Pair Lighting,

The committee on lighting presented
an offer from the Mankato Gas and
Electric Light Co. to construct five IL
Illuminating arches across Front street
for the street fair, for $3.50. The two
end arches to be lighted by arc lights
and the others by incandescents; the
lights to be turned on until midnight.

motion passed Aug. 4th, 1899, and then
this whole question could be settled on
its merits.
Second. That you reconsider your
former action and expunge it from the
records Personally, want to have
this question settled now and settled
right. All of which is respectfully sub
mitted for your careful consideration.

E. 1. P. Staede is back from Candy,
where he has an extensive contract for
city work. He is obliged to pay his
workmen 1926 and give them two
lunches day in order to keep the far
mers from getting them away from
him. His contract has proved to be un-
profitable.
The preparations for the burlesque
parade at the street fair are being
pushed and that feature promises to be
as interesting as it was last year, or
more so. The parade will take place
on the first and third nights of the fair,
and the bicycle parade on one or both
of the other two nights.

beef cattle than for several years past.
The present shortage in supply seems
to be due to variety of causes. Low
prices for live stock have prevailed for
the last seven years. This has grad
ually driven stockmen out of the bust
ness and has caused farmers to rely
upon other products for their support
In this way the supply has gradually
been falling short of the demand.
Moreover, the good times now prevail
ing in Europe have resulted in large
increase in the consumption, and con-
sequently in the export from America
of live products. The imports of Eng
land alone were nearly S25, 900, 900 more
during the last month than they were
during the corresponding month one
year ago. Then, too, the large increase
in population in this country has natur-
ally caused an increased demand for
meats for home consumption. Thus
the present shortage in supply and the
prevailing high prices are the result of
a combination of several causes
The packers predict that not only will
the present values in live products con-
tinue, but that further rise will occur
before long. The increased prices that
may be obtained for stock will, of
course, be of great benefit to the west
ern stockman and to the farmer in
every part of the country, and will
doubtless induce many to enter the now
profitable business of stock-raising.
