The interest which centered around
the council meeting Monday evening
was in connection with what was going
to be done toward lighting the resi-
dence portion OF the city. 1t was
pretty we'll understood during tho day
that the council would adopt the cleo
trio light system and consequently
there was no outside attendance At the
session. When Mayor Fullerton called
the mem bers to order there we're only
FIVE aldermen present-Messrs. Stout,
Wsll., Beckwith, Miller and Burnside,
although Alderman Mclaughlin came
in later iu the evening. After reading

taken up WAS the approval of the bond
OF Assessor Lewis, which was accepted.

he had three drunks before him during
the month, two of whom were suspen
ded from fines pending their good be-
havior. Weigher Neilaen made re-
