take the necessary steps to collect a
certain sum Of money due the city
was read. and discussed at length.
1t appears that there is d sum OF
money due the city. from tax penal
ties collected by the county. Messrs.
Lindbergh & Blanchard proposed to
the council to collect this money and
to receive as compensation for the
same one-third OF all money 80 col
lected, and II unsuccessful the city to
be to no expense for costs OF suits; or
if city would stand costs of suits, the
fee for collection was to be one-fourth
of all money collected.
Aid. Norm was opposed to the res:
olution, on the ground that he con-
sidered the attorney fee EXCESSIVE.
The matter was discussed at length,
and was finally voted upon and
adopted, NORM voting no, Aid.
Moeglein refusing. to vote on the
question, and the other members
voting in the affirmative. .s
Fire Chief George Emder asked the
council to take some action in the
the matter of furnishing funds to de-
fray the expense OF the delegates
from the Little Falls fire depart
ment to the state convention at
Winona. The sum necessary would be
$50 each for the thirteen delegates.
Aid. NORM thought the city finances
were not in condition to warrant
the expenditure of such a large sum
of money for that purpose. He
thought the number of delegates
should be cut to three or four. u
The councils attention was called
to the fact that nearly $1,000 had
been taken from the firemen's fund
for the use of the city in buying fire
apparatus, and the fireman did not
think they were asking anything un-
reasonable. A motion was made
that the sum OF $3.50 be appropriated
to defray the expenses OF the dele
gates to the sCate convention and it
was carried. -
The city clerk opened and read
the bids put in by the local under
takers for the burial OF the city poor
in accordance with a resolution. of
the council at prior meeting.

of age, coffin and team furnished,
$40, under 10 years of age So, grave
and digging same SO all seasons OF
the year.
Harting & Son, all burials of per-
sons over 10 years of age, collins
and team furnished $3.50 under 10
years SO, graves and digging same
SO at all seasons of the year.

est was on motion accepted.
Uhe city attorney called the atten-
ton of the council to it's failure this
year to advertise for bids for city
printing. He said the charter pro-
vided for it and it could not very
well be avoided. On motion the
clerk was instructed to advertise for
bids for city printing, the bids to be
opened at the next regular meeting
of the council.
A formal notice was presented to
