BUTTE NEWS.
MCCARTHY IS OPPOSED
He Will Test the Validity of the
New Light Contract.
THE COURTS WILL DECIDE
Considerable Routine Business Trans
acted by the Council A Com
promise OF the Lathrop
Suit.
THE COURTS WILL DECIDE

Mayor Mccarthy went on record last
evening as unaltcrably opposed to the
new lighting contract recently granted
to the General Electric company, now
the Butte Lighting company. and Serv-
ed notice on the council that it IS his
intention to so into the courts and
test the validity of the contract, Oh
the ground that. though it was passed
over his veto, he never has signed it,
and that contract that does not bear
any signature on the part of the city
cannot be binding.
The council disposed of lot of rou
tine business. Among others things,
Miss Mae Lathrop. who has had q suit
pending against the city for injuries
sustained by being struck by bill
board blown down by the wind, was
given $3.50 as a compromise of her
$1,000 suit. Another matter of import
ance to come to the attention of the
aldermen was the filing of a batch of
claims for damages alleged to have
been sustained by reason of places be-
ing quarantined for smallpox. Several
of such claims We're also rejected.
The council also took the preliminary
steps to provide for extensive paving
next season.
After the reading of the minutes,
Mayor Mccarthy mentioned the mat
ter of street lights that have been rec
commended, and said he thought some
had been recommended which We're Lot
needed. He said that if the new con-
tract is valid, Is additional lights rec
commended, making a total of $50, will
only cost the same as the present 1877
but if the contract is not valid, as
he did not believe it was. without his
signature, even though it had been
passed over his veto, the added lights
would be a considerable expense. He
proposed to have the matter tested
in the courts, he said. and thought the
council should go slow in granting new
lights. The mayor then said that if
there was no motion with reference
to the lighting matter, the minutes
would stand approved There was
some discussion of the subject, and a
motion was made by KnOwlton to re-
consider the report adopted at the last
meeting with reference to lights, hut
it was not seconded. Elderkin and
Bryant spoke in favor of lights Wher-
ever they were necessary, and in OPP
position to stinginess in this matter.

luton No. 295. providing for laying
wooden sidewalks, was read but as the
aldermen appeared to be opposed 10
laying any more sidewalks 1t this time
of the year the resolution was laid on
the table to be called up in the future.
A resolution was introduced by KEEL
ley, notifying T. r. Kinds and his
bondsmen on the paving contract that
the city had been sued by DR.. H. M.
| Hall for damages sustained by driving
| into a hole in d street made by reason
of the paving and that they will be
| looked to TO defend the suit.
Moves inquired if the analysis had
been made of the water being pumped
| from the pump station near Silver
Bow creek, or if the water company
had made any report. The subject was
productive of some jocular remarks
and Kroger said that the committee of
the whole had found that all the water
being pumped came from wells and
none of it came from Silver Bow creek
or Black Tail creek, and, as the water
was good. he could not see any occa-
sion for haste. as the committee could
report to better advantage after the
analysis had been made by the health
| officer. Bausman thought all the talk
about this water was nonsense. Bryant
said it was impossible for water TO
flow from the creeks for the reason
that they We're below the wells. Britt
sought to have the water condemned.
and said he thought the spread of dis
ease was due to it. Macarthur said he
thought such a course would be an out
rage without due investigation. Sieben-
aler moved that the water company DE
required to cease pumping from the
wells till an analysis had been made.
Kelley thought this would be inadvisa-
| BILE. as did Kroger. who thought the
water was perfectly good. Bryant
agreed with Kroaer and Kelley. He
vigorously opposed the motion, which
was only voted for by Siebenaler.
Britt Moves and Page, and the motion
was lost.
Bids were opened as follows: For
| construction of a bridge on the road to
the city crematory. Joseph Grennan,
| S293.50 The bid was rejected, but the
council got new light and reversed it.
self, and the contract was then award
| ed to Grennan.
A delegation from the Stationary En-
! gineers' union came in late and filed a
protest against the order of the health
officer for compulsory vaccination. af-
| fOrding opportunity for more oratory.
! The communication was filed.
! The council then adjourned.

To the Editor of the Standard.
Would you kindly favor me with
space in your paper to contradict the
statement of DR.. Monroe. He stated
in the columns of the Standard yes
terday that the reason he was fired
from the office Of county smallpox doc
tor was on account of a Joseph War
rem, whose wife had smallpox, and that
Warren had made kick in regard to
his bill against the county. l will
state that during the fourteen days !

my house eight times. and said that
for the first visit he was paid by the
county, and that after that it was not
a county charge, and he would receive
his fees the same as the family doctor.
| told him that l was no county charge.
After the quarantine was raised l went
and asked him for my bill. He gave
me a bill for $50 or 1926 a visit, and
told me that it was the least he could
charge me, as it ran as high as $500
for a case of smallpox. After paying
him l talked to some friends of mine
and they advised me to see some one
| that could give me more information.
