nasd was reelected president of the

Moulton, made number of recon-
lnendations to the council in the
management OF the city affairs.
| Mr.. Maynard spoke PARTICULARLY o
keeping the town clean, thus preserv-
ing public health and making pre-
sentable appearance to strangers, and
suggested that a coed way to accom-
plish it was for private property own
ers to set a good example. He men,
toned the Importance of tablishing
a uniform and official grade on Main
street and Of knowing the exact width
OF the streets about town when it
came to tree planting and new side
walks. He also referred to the impor-
tance OF putting in nothing but first
classs crosswalks. He recommended
that the council should back up the
street commissioner in keeping the
streets clear of encumbrances and
thought that it was time for the city
to adopt the meter system in charg-
| ing for service water.
1t was recommended by Pres. May
nard that all appointive officers OF the
city be filled by the same incumbents
for the coming year, except that G.. D.,
Rose be made a member of the finance
committee in place Of Jas. Byrne, re.
signed.

ping the water main near the Tinar
place on South Main street. E. p

as applies to South Main street from
the artesian we'll south, with the pro
vision that there is to be no riding o
wheels on the sidewalks on said stree
after sunset and that every rider mus
dismount before meeting or passing
person-any violation of the condition
to subject the offender to the penal
ties prescribed by the old ordinance
r Alderman Maynard and Rose though
that any resolution of that kind shoul
cover the whole city and not apply t
