Alderman Calling, chairman OF the
auditing committee, refused to q X
the bill of the Electric Light Co., say.
ing that there had been 80 much COM
plant about the lights that he preferred
the council to settle the matter.
Then commenced spirited discus.
sion, pro and con. but as no evidence
was produced that the Company had
failed TO perform its, duty, except In
time of accidents, which are likely To
occur, Aid. Stone moyed that the bill
be allowed. Every member seemed TO
be unwilling To assume any responsible
ity. This WAS evidenced by failure to
second the motion.
The council was about to proceed to
other business, when Mr.. Ewell, of the
Electric Light Co. demanded that the
council take some definite action
either refuse to pay or pay-as he wish
ed to know what to do IN the premises,
Aid. Gatliug said he would take the
responsibility and seconded the motion
To pay. which was carried.
The Mayor said that the large well on
the hill had never worked satisfactorily
and that Mr.. Carloss. the builder. had
promised to make it good. but as yet
had not done SO, and judging from hil
actions the probability was that Ia
never would. That the city should
protect itself. And it was moved ana
carried that 40 attorney be employed
To attach such property of Mr.. Carloss
as he could lind, to secure the city from
loss.
Aid Calling said he was asked 10
prepare An ordinance prohibiting trav-
cling dentist from plying their vocation
IN Forrest City. No action.
