TRASH LAW WILL PASS.
Delayed Because Not an Emergency
According to Rule of Council.

DtAhSS0 DtcduSe NOb an emergency
According to Rule of Council.
There seems to be no doubt about the
passage of the ordinance introduced at the
last meeting of Council by Alderman Mills
against the scattering of trash in the
streets, lanes and parks 1t was at first
thought another ordinance covered the
ground, but City Attorney Adams decided
this was not the case.
Heretofore there has been a tendency in
Council to shove things through at the
same meeting. whether they are matters
of importance or not. According to rule 5
of Council, 'an motions shall be made in
writing, and seconded before debate, and
every bill shall be read twice-that IS,
once at two distinct regular meetings of
Council-before it passes into an ordinance,
unless an case of emergency, when a bill
may be read twice by unanimous consent
at the same session and passed" The trash
law MIR. Tiedeman admits, is necessary,
but not to the extent which would warrant
its second reading.

THE EARLY CLOSING HOUR.
Employees of Retail stores Would
Like 10 See @ O'Clock Named.


While it is generally understood that
the retail stores will close at Z o'clock
now that the soldiers are gone. the clerks
are not satisfied with this arrangement,
They think that after all the hard work
they have done during the last few months
in waiting upon the soldier customers in
addition to the local trade that they are
entitled to something more than a
o'clock closing hour.
The clerks would like very much to have
a o'clock closing hour, Saturdays, OF
course, excepted. None Of them have
been bold enough TO start a movement In
that direction as yet but they. have inti-
mated to their acquantances among the
newspaper men that successful agitation
in this direction would earn their undyIhg
gratitude.

It could not be easily handled before

Broughton street stores yesterday, and

something put aside for muster out day
looked over the whole stock and visited
every store in the business before he

on us and all the indications are that we

With O'Clock to look forward to as
closing hour we can very well afford to
bear the heat and discomfort of the day
but o'clock closing hour does not offer
very much encoura cement. If all of the
retail dealers will agree on o'clock as
closing hour none of them can lose any,
thing by it and their employees will be
greatly benefited.
The desire Of the employees of the retail
stores FOR an early closing hour win find
many sympathizers. Il is true that there
are some who find it pleasant 10 put off
their shopping to the cool of the day, but
they admit that the employees are entitled
to some consideration If the employers
are not willing to concede a o'clock clos
