State Center, May 21.-The council
met In regular session last Friday even
ing. The routine business was attended
to and then the question OF night po-s
lice was brought UP. A petition from
the business men was presented re-
questing the council to hire such an Of
ficer. The question was given gem
eral debate and 1t seemed that the en-
tire council agreed that 1t was q good
thing to have a night police, but did
not feel that they could pay nearly one
half of the city's general fund for that
officer. When it was brought to vote
1t was decided that State Center would
not have night police. The report OF
the committe on steam fire pump was
heard. They reported two pumps in
view. One OF a capacity OF 10000 gall
Ions per hour and another OF 10000 gall
Ions. Mr.. Swift, of the council commit
Tee, favored the smaller, while Fore
man Schilling and Chief Engineer Van
Pelt, OF the f1remen's committee, IA
vored the larger. They held that the
larger being capable of throwing three
streams of water would be more suita-
BILE. because they might be needed in
case Of an emergency ard in case of an
extension OF the water mains would be
necessary. The estimated cost of the
smaller. ready set and connected. would
be $3.50, and of the larger $500. The
council authorized the committees to
go ahead. purchase and place the pump.
which they could agree upon.
