fbe proposed elevator tc be built on
the north east corner of the FIRST block
north of the square. This ordinance
was laid over until next meeting. and a
committee of three councilmen was ap-
pointed to view the grounds in conjunc-
ton with the Mill & Elevator men.
The newly elected officers of the fire
department were confirmed by the
council.
Council then adjourned to Wednes-
day evening, the 9Th.
The council met on Wednesday
evening, pursuant to adjournment.
but there being no qaorum present,

Council Meeting.

The city council met in regular
monthly session Monday night. The
usual routine business of allowing bills,
receiving reports, ETC., was done. An
ordinance vacating an alley on block
occupied by Moses Bros. elevator was
passed. The Fire Committee, in con-
junction with the Chief of the Fire De-
partment. was instructed to purchase
500 feet of fire hose, which is much
needed.
The petition, signed by about go per
cent of the business men of the city,
asking that the council resume its
former method of handling the hop tea
joints, was presented to the council.
That body took up the question and
discussed it pretty thoroughly. A mo-
ton was made that the council fix a
license of S1oo month on hop tea
dealers, with provision that the
places shall be kept closed on Sundays,
close at Top. m. week days, and refrain
from selling to minors or habitual
drunkards. This motion was lost by a
vote of four to three-there being but
seven members of the council present.
A melton was then made, put and
carried-5 to z-that the city attorney
and ordinance committee prepare an
ordinance to cover the hop tea bust
ness.
A committee from the Farmers Mill
& Elevator Co. asked for the passage
of an ordinance to permit the Mo. P.
railroad to build its tracks up to Broad
way, on the west of the Morrison, so

calamity to befall the creamery pat
rons and all the farmers wives, would
