COMMON
. COUNCIL
MEETING
New Rules for the Fire De-
partment Adopted.

The principal bupiness considered by
the city council Tuesday evening was
matters relating TO the FIRE department.
For the better control Of the department
resolution was passed to the effect
that no member is allowed to be
away from the hall after 10
o'clock p. m. without an order
from the chief. That he cannot
leave the city without permission
from the Chief, and then must provide a
capable substitute The doore Of the
department arc to be fitted with locks,
aud when a member is outside after
hours, he will be given a key by the
chief for admission. This action is taken
on account Of the fact that tramps are
constantly spending the night in the
engine room, and all the men are asleep
upstairs. To prevent the occurrence Of
any accident or mischief the doors will
be kept locked at night hereafter.
W. w. Johrson, chief Of the depart
ment, recommended the retention o.
the present hosemen in their positions.
They are: L. X. Murphy, W. II. Sell
wood, Clem. Lewis, Q. N. Churchill,
William London, Ralph Churchill, Har.
old Jorgenson, Ira Jorgenson and Louis
Landon. The communication was ac-
cepted by the council.
Another matter OF this nature was re-
lerred TO the committee on fre and
water. II was that on Twelfth street
near the Woolen mill and also on Cen
tre street, the fire plugs are so arranged
that ifa FIRE should occur across the
street, the hose would have to be laid
across the railroad track, and might in
teriere with the progress Of the trains.
Il. NJ. Croisan petitioned the council
for franchise granting him right to
make improvements to his property on
basis Of one foot Hover than required
by the ordinance, which is 80 feet above
low-water mark. II was referred to the
committee on streets and public prop
orty, with power to act. The petition

sent Of the adjoining property owners

he had never made q public speech
Soon after the convention a delega,
ton came to him from q small town in
his district and asked him 10 come ont
to a ratification meeting. Wilkins said
he would. but cautioned the delegation
against asking him TO speak. They
said that would be ali right, as they
had provided two professional spell
binders. All Wilkins would have TO do,
hey said, would be TO shake hands and
ksss the babies.
Wilkins went, was met by a brass
band and escorted to the hall. Then. to
his utter dismay, he found that the
spellbinders had not arrived. The chair.
mar insisted that Wilkins must say
something. He stood up, was intro
duced and said everything he could
think of. After he had been talking
what seemed to him two hours. but In
reality was not more than fifteen min.
utes, he gave out entirely and sat
down.
There was a dense silence. Not a per
son in the hall applauded. Then the
chairman arose and said:
eff there is anybody in the hall that
can make a speech, we will be glad to
hear him."
