session at the City Hall Monday even
ing and the meeting proved to be a
very short one with little business of
| i'm portance. The most important
business Of the evening was the fact
that the Council provided way for
the disposal of garbage. Acting on
the suggestion of the City Physician,
the council decided to open dumping
ground near the city poor house which
shall be open for the use of the people
two days in the week, Tuesdays and
Thursdays. The Council further pro-
vided for the employment of man
who shall be on hand on those days to
see that the garbage SO deposited is
properly covered. Other days his ser
vices will be utilized for work in the
public parks: The new man will prob
ably be appointed at once and the
dumping ground opened.
The report of the Poor master show
ed that the number of people receiving
support from the city is being greatly
reduced under the direction of Alder
man Hermann. The report on Monday
evening showed that but ffty-seven
people were aided by the city, and this
number is only a little over one-half
the number who were supported three
months ago. It is thought that with
careful management the pauper lists
will be still further reduced.
During the meeting of the council
| Monday evening twas reported that
| the breakwater at the foot Of South
street and extending south to English
Court was in very dangerous Gondi-
ton. The stone has sunk until it no
longer protects the piles and some
action must be taken at once to pre-
vent the land from being washed out.
The matter will be considered at a
special meeting Of the Council on
Wednesday evening.

The bids for the sprinkling of Dur

sidewalk, should be laid upon the
table It recommended that $50 be
allowed E. A. Schultz and Amelia
Meyer for damages received on defect
i've sidewalks. In regard to the claim
of T. A. Wandreyka the committee
held that the city was not in any way
| liable, but that as the litigation aris-
| ing from the case would be very ex-
pensive they recommended that $50
be paid to Wandreyka for a complete
settlement of the case in question.
These reports of the claims committee
were accepted, and the claims will all
be settled.
