Will Pay off Water.

City Recorder Williams suggested
that 81, 1888 received from the county
from the special tax distribution be
placed in the sinking fund and be used
to take up the city's notes. This was
done on motion Of Aid. Meyer.
Aid. Jordan favored taking up the
eight per cent notes with the sinking
fund.
Mr.. Williams stated that there was
already 81. 400 in the sinking fund.
Aid, Meyer moved that 81, 900 now in
the sinking fund be used to take up the
city's eight per cent notes,
Aid. Leonard called attention to the
fact that the sinking fund commission
has exclusive control of the sinking
fund.
The motion was carried after a long
discussion as to the powers of the COM
mission and the council in regard to
the matter.
The bills were read and allow ed,
The bill of $50 of Eugene Coy for
taking care of John Mohler in the hos
pital, which was disallowed by the
county board, was allowed, on motion
of Aid. Taylor. The city attorney was
instructed to try to get the money re-
funded by the county.
Assessor Fowler said that he would
like to have the city hire man to go
with him and value buildings, as he
was not builder himself. A man for
two weeks can be secured for $25, he
thought.
Aid. Meyer said that he had found
that builders vary very much in their
figures. They do not know any more
of the cost of building than any one
else, unless he is an architect. He
would as soon risk the assessors judg
ment, which is passed upon by the
council as board of equalization
The other aldermen took the same
view, and without action the council
adjourned.

Chief Bruels stated that he had or
dered L. G M. Fletcher's three con
demned buildings torn down Mr.
Fletcher has promised to move two, but
refuses to move the dwelling house on
Cherry street, back of the Savings
bank. Mr. Bruels wanted to know
what he was to do,-give Mr. Fletcher
more time, or tear down the buildings
Mr.. Fletcher had threatened to sue the
city for damages if any are torn down.
Aid. Jordan said that he had been in
formed that resident near by can
not secure insurance on account of the
proximity of these buildings.
City Attorney Daily said that the
city could tear down the buildings and
run the chance of damage suit.
Aid. Jordan moved that the build
ings be torn down by the city in case
Mr.. Fletcher does not remove them
1t was decided that this was a super
fiuous motion, as it had already been
ordered, and Mr.. Bruels will act &C
cordingly.
Aid Meyer reported that the ordi
nance committee thinks that there are
too many ordinances now, and recon,
mended that the proposed ordinance re-
lating to building permits outside OF
the Fl e limits be not adopted. The re
port was unanimously adopted.

also asked whether the city engineers

it would save money in the end
| President Porter said that the cost Of
the latest carts at the factory range
from 1852 down to $500 each. The at
tachment can be put on the present

CRIMINAL ACTION AGAINST
EX.CITY RECORDER BROWN.
Ceuncil Unanimously Instructs the City
Attorney to Consult With the County
Attorney With the Purpose of Bring.
isg the Charge Of Embezzlement of
city Funds.-.The County's Bill Against
the City Presented, and Counter
Claim Offered.

Unless the friends of former City Re.
eorder FL w. Brown make satisfac-
tory offer of settlement between now
and the, sitting of the grand jury Feb
sth. that gentleman may have one or
more indictments placed over him The
council voted unanimously Friday night
all of the aldermen being present and
Mayor Currier presiding, to instruct
the city attorney to commence criminal
proceedings against Mr.. Brown for the
alleged embezzlement of city money.
The matter came up by Aid. Meyer
stating that it looks as though Harry
W. Brown or his friends do not intend
to do anything in the way of settle
nent. He therefore moved that the
city attorney be instructed to confer
with the county attorney and commence
criminal proceedings against Mr.. Brown
ON the charge of embezzlement of city
funds.
Aid. Weed said that A. E. Clark, at
torney for Mr.. Brown, had claimed to
the committee that some of the items
in Mr.. Donaldson's report was not cor
rect.
City Attorney DALEY said that he
had endeavored to have the other side
make a proposition for settlement, but
none had been made and there seemed
to be no prospect of any.
Aid. Jordan said that if anything was
10 be done it should be done soon. The
public demands a settlement of some
kind. There was no object in waiting
longer.
Aid. Meyer said that the grand jury
meets soon, and for this reason he had
included the county attorney in his
motion.
The motion was unanimously car
ried.

Claim and Counterclaim.

County Attorney Hughes appeared
before the council and presented the
eounty's bill of $715. 90 for the board of
city prisoners. He said that the bill
goes back to Jan. LIST, 1895 He said
that the law is very plain. The sheriffs
had overlooked the matter. and no one
is particularly to blame. he asked that
the matter be referred to the committee
on claims and accounts and the city at.
torney to meet with him and talk it
over. This was done.
Later in the session, Aid. Meyer
moved that Recorder Williams be in
structed to present bill to
the county board for S692 10, for
the fines and fees in criminal cases in
the municipal court. This was carried,
and the city attorney will assist in the
collection of the bill, which the city
will use as an offset to the county's
bill.
A letter was received from Splitter &
Co., of Toledo, Ohio, saying that they
had forwarded the blank bonds for re-
funding the water works bonds. These
have also been received.
The committee on claims and &C
counts reported that it had examined
the books of the city recorder and
checked his books with the civil and
criminal cases of the municipal court,
also checked the account for license
money received, compared the re-
corder's books with the treasurer's book
and found every item correct" They
further wished to report that they
found the books of the city recorder, d.
V. Williams, in fine shape. The re-
eorder's book system is such that he
knows at the end of every month the
financial condition of the city. This
was adopted.
Aid. Jordan called attention to the
excessive cost of lighting the central
FIRE station, and said that unless the
bills are cut down the city should put
in plant of it's own to light the sta
ton and the city hall. This can be
done for $50 a month, he was confident.
The official printing for one year
from Feb. 3rd was awarded to the Daily
Free Press, being the lowest bidder
among the daily papers. The COM
mittee on printing recommended this
on the ground that there is a general
demand that the official paper be a
daily. The bid by the inch. with non
