commissioners court. The communi. cation was laid over for week.
 The following ordinances were passed An ordinance making street ''spieling' a misdelneanOr An ordinance reduc- ing the salaries of the city treasurer aud fire chief to $50 each per month An ordinance amending ordinance No l9, relating to the collection of dog taxes.
 Archer voted against the spieling ordinance and the amendment to the dog ordinance caused considerable dis. cu,sion on points raised by Geiger. A discussion also enSued over the matter of procuring offices for city officials, Archer urging it forcibly and Stevens connselling delay, as he believed that one of the barracks buildings could be procured on the arrival of Capt. Jarvis.
 Jourden spoke of the excellent ser vices rendered by Joseph F. Palmer as fire chief; he said Palmer should be re-appointed if he would accept the position at the reduced salary. Palmer declined, for business reasons, and Capt. Geo. B. Baldwin was unanimously elected 10 the position.
 Then Stevens arose. He said he wanted information as to building that was being done in Front Street. None of the cOuncilmen seemed to know any. thing about it..
 Jourden said the street committee should refer to the city's $500 map and report if the buildings intringed on the street. He made a motion to this effect.
 Stevens persisted in his interroga- tions. He wanted to know if Mayor Valentine had given permission 10 put an addition 10 the Seitfert building. IL was foot over the line into the street, he said, and the Lane building would be over two feet. Ordinance No. 8 covered these matters and no one should be allowed to build over the lines as laid down in ,he city plat. He had understood that the mayor had given permission for the projection of Sieffert's building into the street.
 The motion to refer the matter to the street committee was put and carried.
 Stevens continued: Am l to under stand that am to get no satisfactory answer to my questions. If this thing is allowed to continue the streets may be turned into blind alleys"
 Valentine: "The matter has been |
 Stevens protested that the council should not wait a week for the street committee's report. He asked that the city attorney be instructed to procure an injunction restraining the work on the Lane building, as the Sieffert building had been completed.
 Archer said that if he was satisfied people were building over the line he would advocate immediate action.
 Stevens persisted. It looked, he said as if this thing had been pre-ar- ranged by counciimen. He reminded the mayor that when he took his oath of office he swore to uphold the ordi- at this point Stevens was ruled out of order. A motion to ad- lourn was put and carried while Stevens was yet on his feet. And thus the "in- cident clOSed.'
