passage.
Mr.. Melcher, one of the committee
which drafted the bill, arose to suggest
that the committee had fixed the city
electricians salary at s1.500, while the
bill showed but $1025. The mayor re-
marked that since the committee had
prepared the bill the chief and assistant
chief of the fire department had sug
gested that $1,O25 would be satisfactory
to the electrician.
There were strange looks upon some
of the aldermen's faces when this infor-
nation was impaired.
Resolutions transferring moneys from
one to another fund were adopted. The
resolution declaring the city's intention
of grading Oklahoma avenue between
Mercury and Park was read the first
time. Alderman Britt suggested an
amendment changing the per cent. of
the cost to be charged to abutting prop
erty. Mr.. Britt did not urge his mo-
ton and action was taken by adopting
the resolution and fixing the date for
objections at the next meeting of the
council.
Resolutions providing for special lev
les to defray the expenses of opening up
Iron, Franklin, Thornton and Covert
streets were read. They We're adopted
after being amended SO as to provide a
date for objections. This date was fixed
as April 5.

The clerk was instructed toradvertise
for bids for the construction of booths,
bids to be in by next Wednesday night,
to which date the council adjourned.
Just before adjournment, Alderman
Medin arose to "a point of personal in
formation. He asked the mayor if
Judge Holland, the city clerk, who was
elected to the office of county treasurer
and is now serving in that capacity,
was drawing a salary from the city as
clerk The mayor replied that he
thought the office of city clerk was be
ing conducted in business like and
proper manner.
Mr.. Medin evidently misunderstood
the mayor, for he Immediately returned,
'if the office does not need him, de-
mand that he send in his resigna-
ton"
The mayor suggested that the alder
man must have misunderstood him, as,
said he, Il have no occasion to say
that which would infer that Mr.. Me-
dfn's remarks imply"
The matter was dropped here and the
meeting adjourned.
