Progressive Neighbor.
Council met last night in called ses-
sion with eight members present The
chief reason for the calling OF this
meeting was to take some action upon
the paving brick question. which has
agitated the members since a recent
test OF the bricks was made, when
not in accordance with the quality
that had been purchased and that they
would not stand the same test that the
samples were subject to. A motion
was made and prevailed that the city
clerk notify the Mack Brick Company
that their brick which have already
been distributed upon the streets pre-
paratory to paving, have been rejected
and that there will be meeting Of
council Saturday evening. The only
other matter Of importance was the
recommendation of weighmasters and
city engineer by Mayor "Goodhue,
which were as follows: First ward
scales, ]. o. Perry, weighm9ster; Sec
ond ward, David Gosney; THIRD ward,
William c. Slainey; Fourth ward,
George Helling; Fifth ward, William
Coates. THE recommendation Of Cos
ney. Slaney and Coates was rejected.
while the others were confirmed. Abram
Lash was recommended as EIty engi-
neer, but no action was takeH.

sentative ones place the Hmit3at 1900.
or little more. The town hasscertain-
~ added greatly to it's population in
the past ten years, but whether or not
1t has Increased as greatly as suspect
ed Is question the eRuHeTatops only
can answer when there reports are
made. In 1890 the population was given
at s,O25, and an addition OF 1000 i'm ten
years time Is something out OF the or
binary considering the fact that four
years OF very hard times were expert
enOed, when many people removed 10
other places. To counteract this, how
ever, many new families have moved
In, attracted here by the numerous po-
sltions offered In the rolling mills. new
factories established, and the work
shops, all of which are giving very
steady employment, and 1t may be that
the ten thousand mark will be reached
