The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1902-06-06

The session of the city council,
which extended over Monday and
Tuesday nights, was taken up for the
most part by the consideration of
sewer propositions.
The board of county commission
ers attended the meeting Monday
night to lay before the council
a sewer proposition in conjunction
with court house, but they evidently
had not decided what they wanted,
as the evening was spent in wrang-
ling over what they should do. When
the situation was finally cleared
away it was late, and beyond taking
up some of the regular routine bust
ness the council did nothing of i'm
portance, and at 1870 a. m. an adj
| journment was taken until Tuesday
evening.
At 8 o'clock Tuesday evening the
council reassembled and the old mat
| ter of sewers was threshed over for
several hours. City Engineer ia
queth was there with his map of the
sewer districts, and outlined to the
council the different grades etc.
The intention of the city to enlarge
the sewer in the alley between Main
street and First avenue west, is OBJ
jected to by some of the taxpayers
interested on account of the expense
that will be incurred. The present
elght-inch sewer is inadequate and it
! is proposed to enlarge it either to II
or Is inches. Another special meet
ing of the council will be held Mon
cay night, June 8, at which time the
matter will be settled.
Among other matters disposed of
by the council was the appointment
of James Madison, who was Endorsed
by the w. L. u. as night policeman
to fill the vacancy created by the
transfer of officer Jack Donahue, to
day duty. There was no opposition
: to the mayors selection, and Madi-
son was confirmed unanimously.
The nomination of M. H. Ormsby at
the May meeting of the council for
, the vacancy was the occasion of a
general set down on Mayor Logan
by the council, who unanimously
voted against the confirmation, and
the mayor was a little nervous when
he named Madison Tuesday night.
There was no occasion for alarm,
however, as each alderman when his
name was called voted for the nomi-
nee.
For the position of night patrol
man now filed by James Paul, T. H.
Shea was named by the mayor, and
as /. looked very much as if he would
tail to go through, Alderman Cutler,
one of his promoters, moved that the
5 matter be laid over until the special
( meeting Monday night and this was
. done.
q The bids for street sprinkling dur
: ing the coming year were opened
and the same amount per hour was
demanded by each proposal.
!. Three bidders, l.. Rail, John Cum
y ningham and d. w. Woodbury. offered
a to do the work for SO cents per hour,
l. and the council awarded the contract
d to Cunningham, on account of his
t stable being nearest the heart of the
city.
The contract for the city printing
5. for the ensuing year was awarded
,, to the Bee Publishing company, be-
e bidder.
e The committee on streets ard al
e legs brought in a report condemnine
y number of sidewalks and orderins
the same to be removed and new
ones built. The report was adopted
d by the council.
