MEETING OF THE CITY
FATHERS.
Petition for Financial Aid for Memorial

Observation-Disclosures Granted to
Rebuild Big Livery Barn-Oil
House Explosion Comes Up.

All the councilmen were present at
last nights meeting of the city coun-
ell, the mayor presided over the meet
ing, and the city clerk, city attorney
and marshal were in attendance.
Albert Rosin made application for
the transfer Of his liquor license to
some building on Thornburg street, be-
tween First and Second. The applica-
ton was referred back with the re-
quest that some particular building be
designated.
Richard Tregoning made application
for permission to tap the sewer. His
request was referred to the city mar
shall.
The Laramie Transfer company made
application for permission to increase
the height of a frame building at the
corner Of First street and University
posed improvement would not increase
the fire risk, the permission was grant
ed.
Mrs. Anna B. Holiday, spokeswo-
man for a committee representing the
Woman's Relief Corps, appeared be-
fore the council and made an eloquent
plea for an appropriation from the city
to aid in the proper observance OF Me-
mortal Day. The speaker emphasized
the statement that this appropriation
was not asked on behalf of the G. A.
r. or of the w. r. C. or of any organi-
cation. but on behalf of the nations
dead. 1t had been claimed that the
Grand Army had funds of its own and
they should not ask assistance from
the city for the purpose Of carrying out
their exercises. Mrs. Holiday said the
Grand Army on the hill was growing
while the Grand Army in the town was
constantly thinning and the funds were
sacred to the living. If these funds
were used for the decoration Of the
graves of the soldier dead they would
soon become depleted and the needy
living would suffer. The speaker rails
ed the question as to whether the
Grand Army of the Republic was
wholly responsible for the proper OBJ
servance of the exercises in memory
of the nations dead, or whether the
whole people should not in justice bear
its share of responsibility. The APP
peal was an eloquent one and was lis
tened to with wrapt attention.
At its conclusion Mr.. Crumrine said
that If anything would move him t.
grant the request, this appeal would.
He would like to see them have the
, 1900-05-02

recourse to law. The mayor appointed
City Clerk Symons and Councilmen
Crumrine and Jones as the committee
to collect and audit the bills. 1t is like
ly that the firemen will be paid the
amount Of their just claims at the mex
meeting of the council even If the rail.
road takes no action by that time.
Chief McRae reported several fire
hydrants in bad condition and he was
authorized to have them placed in
proper condition.
An extra large batch Of bills was
presented and all were allowed except
one for $25.65 presented by w. II.
Frazee and approved by the chief Of
the fire department. The items in this
bill included a bed, bed clothing, wash
stand and other house furnishing goods
placed in the West Side hose house.
The council had authorized the repair
OF the building, but thought it was
carrying matters a little too far 70 buy
furniture and bed clothing under this
authority. 1t was learned today that
the purchase Of these furnishings was
due to a misunderstanding of the or
der Of the council. and the matter has
been adjusted by Hose company No.
4 assuming the obligation.
Mr.. Miller objected to the action Of
the marshal in having the dead leaves,
tin cans, etc., taken from the bitches

money, but 1t was a question in his
mind whether The ladies had not come
to the wrong place. He then quoted
from the state constitution the follow
ing provision; Neither the state nor
any county, city, township. town.
school district, or any other political
subdivision, shall loan or give its
credit or make donations to or in aid
of any individual. association or cor
poration, except for necessary support
of the poor" According to this, the
council had no right to vote the appro-
priation for this purpose.
Mrs. Holiday repeated her statement
that she did not ask the donation for
the G. A. r. or for any other organiza-
ton. She said she was not a lawyer
and did not know how the constitution
would be construed, but she did know
that Memorial Day was a national holi-
day, that not all the dead soldiers were
members of the G. A. R., and that the
appropriation was not asked for the
bereft Of the G. A. R. Her request was
that the city allow bills to the extent
of $50 to be contracted in making prep
arations for the proper observance Of
the day.
City Attorney Arnold stated that
there was nc authority in law for an
appropriation Of this kind, but it has
been done from time to time. 1t was
a question whether we were not doing
the soldiers more honor by obeying the
law than by decorating their graves,
MIR. Crumrine suggested that a sub
scribtion list be started for the purpose
Of raising funds for the purpose, and
said he would give literally to the
cause, but he wanted to see the law
obeyed to the later.
Mr.. Miller spoke in favor Of grant
ing the request. He said the council
lad gone beyond the law more than
once before and no one had called them
down. In raising the funds oy sub
scription the financial burden would
fall upon a few. while by appropriate

WRECK INVESTIGATION.
Extent of Penalty Has Not Yet Been
Determined Upon.

Regarding the result Of the investi-
CATION held Monday at Laramie, Super
%irtendent Harris yesterday said to a
Cheyenne Tribune reporter: at was
found that Engineer Ralston and Con-
ductor Quigley of No. 1O1 were respon-
sible for the accident, as they should
have had their train under control IN
til they knew No. 6 was in the clear.
Both men have been laid of, but the
extent Of the penalty has not yet been
determined on. There we're extenuat-
ing circumstances connected with the
accident, such as the darkness of the
Eight, the heavy storm prevailing, the
curve at Cooper station, and the freight
cars on the track, which makes the men
less culpable than they would be other

ing funds from the city treasury the
charge would be equally distributed
and noIone would feel the effects. He
said he was willing to break the law
agree to pay bills incurred for the pur-
pose to an amount not to exceed $50.
Mr.. Brands seconded the motion.
and said he had noticed that in his old
home, Illinois, every incorporated town
was making appropriations for this
purpose.
Mr.. Crumrine made another appeal
for respect for the constitution" but
apparently Mrs. Holidays fervent ad-
dress had Won the hearts of the coun-
cilmen, as the motion was adopted by
a vote of 5 to /, Mr.. Crumrine alone
voting in the negative.
Mr.. E. E. Marsh petitioned the coun-
ell for permission to erect a two-story
frame stable, to be entirely covered
with corrugated iron, on the site Of the
Windsor barn, which was destroyed by
fire a month ago. Corlett Downey ad-
dressed the council on behalf of Mr..
Marsh and explained that the D
ed building would be L-shaped, with A
frontage Of IA feet on Third street and
1872 feet on Custer street, with brick
chimneys built from the ground up.
After very little discussion the petit
ton was granted.
John H. Bath, J. H. Small, Henry
Zimmerman, John A. Fischer, George
umhauer and NJ. H. Murphy made ap-
plications for liquor licenses and the
same were granted.
Mrs. H. E. Root was granted per-
mission to erect a bill board on Grand
avenue between First and Second
streets. back Of the new hotel which
is being built by John T. Johnson.
The city marshal reported collections
amounting to 81; the police justice
SOL, and the sexton of the city ceme-
terry $12. There were 10 burials dur
ing the month Of April, the largest
number during any one month for
many years.
Mr.. Crumrine introduced a pream-
BILE and resolutions relating to the I'm
ion Pacific oil house explosion. at which
several firemen were burned and 9TH
erwise injured, thereby losing much
time from their work and mourning
heavy expense for doctors and medi-
cines. A list accompanying the reso-
%lutions showed claims amounting to
$670.05. The resolutions as adopted
directed the mayor to appoint a com-
mittee Of three to receive and audit
these claims and report at the next
meeting of the council and in the mean
time to consult with the railroad Of
ficials and see whether the company
could not be prevailed upon to pay the
bills. 1t was stated that the Union
Pacific company had the matter under
consideration, but no definite action
had been taken. There was some talk
as to the legal responsibility Of the
company, owing to the alleged fact
that more gasoline was carried in the
oil house thar the law allowed; but 1t
was the general opinion that the mat
ter could be amicably settled without

shall explained that this rubbish was
being raked up and carted away.
Mr.. Crumrine called the attention. OF
the marshal to a constitutional proyis-
ion which provides that none but citI-
zens or those who have declared their
intention to become citizens shall DE
employed upon public works or i'm
provements. No action was taken and
no explanation made.
