The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1899-10-06

Wells and Burnside called the atten-
tion of the council to the Iact that
there would be no arc light either on
Second or Fifth streets under this
arrangement and they believed that
something should be done to give the
residents on those streets as equal as
good service. Under this motion the
light which was removed from Main
and Fifth street will be restored.
Chief Adams, OF the fire department,
appeared before the council with re-
quest for the purchase OF additional
hose and the fire committee was in
structed to investigate the purchase of
the hose. MIR. Adams was also quest
ioned 40 to the leaving of hydrants
open during a fire and he stated he had
list OF elk consumers whose hydrants
we're found open on the day of the Han
nett fire. While it was not decided to
make an example of them at this time
the chief was notified that in the future
to keep q careful watch on the by
drants and make report when any of
them are found open during q fire.
While this discussion was going on the
matter of haystacks within the city
limits was also brought up. The
mayor called sne chief OF police before
him aua gave him positive orders to 60
after those haystacks and see that they
we're removed and if necessary to use
the full limit of the ordinance which
governed the matter. If the chief
carries out his instructions there will
be no more hay stacked within the
limits of this city.
Alderman Wells was empowered 9
month ago to put the fire alarm system
in working order at a cost of SIS. He
stated that this was impossible as the
system would have to be practically
new in the way of wires and meteria
for the battery. The fire alarm matter
brought out quite warm discussion
over the expense to which the counci
had been in maintaining it, but finally
Everything was smoothed over and the
contract was awarded to F. B. Elce tt
go ahead with the work at cost o
S35, ne agreeing to put it in gooe
working order.
The south side watering trough came
up again for disposal and Alderman
Miller reported that the committee hat
Investigated the situation and recon
mended that the location be changed t.

tho brick house on Van Fps street. I
was suggested that the trough would b
as much of nuisance there as in it
present location. There are two oppos
ing factions in reference to movln
that trough. One wan it moved an
the other desires to have IL left wher
it is, petitions having been fled at

At this time the report of the light
committee was asked for by the mayor.
Owing to the absence Of Chairman
Bracy Alderman Beckwith, who was
on the committee, consented to make
the report and such recommendations
as had been talked over. Mr.. BeckwiLh
referred to the experiment with the
gasoline lamps and stated that the COM
mittee had come to the conc usion that
they would not come up to the require
ments. In the afternoon the commit
tee drove over the city and inspected
the former locations OF the lights as
they were formerly used. He then
moved that the eight additional arc
lights be restored to their former loca-
tions and that they be turned on at
once, and the motion was adopted. So
far as raising the lights to a greater
height was concerned it was decided to
raise one of the lights ten feet higher
and thus ascertain what benefit would
result in the way Of the light extend
ing over more territory If it proved
successful then the rest of the lights ir
