the new man will be employed by the
com mission in the near future. No
action was taken to employ another
man for the police force as the Council
does not seem to be in favor of en-
ploying another man for day duty.
This matter vas referred to the COM
mittee on police and after conference
with the FIRE and police com mission
some recommendation will be made to
the Council at its next meeting.
Sewer Ordinance Will Pass.
The ordinance providing for the ar
rangement Of new sewer district will
pass the City Council, as a test vote
was taken on the ordinance Monday
night and it showed that twelve of the
aldermen favored the ordinance while
only two were in the opposition.
The ordinance will come up for pas
sage at the next meeting of the Coun-
Gil and this vote was taken to see how
the aldermen stood in regard to the or
dinance. The ordinance was amended
Monday night by striking out the por-
ton referring to the building of sewers
on Washington island. No serious
opposition has appeared for the ordi-
nance and it is probable that it will be
passed without any further discussion.
The city engineer and the sewer COM
mittee seem to believe that the ordi-
nance is in the best possible shape and
as these men have made hard study
of the matter the other members of the
Council are unwilling to oppose their
decision.
HarbOr Committee to Be Busy.
The harbor committee will be busy
during the next few days as the Coun-
Gil ordered the committee to make
some report in regard to the condition
of the city docks on the west side of
Washington island. The docks have
been rapidly filing with sand and it is
possible that extensive repairs are
necessary. AS the dock has been
turned over to the United States gov
rnment many of the mem bers of the
Council hold that the government
should pay for any repairs needed, or
at least convey the property to the
city.
The city will also make a complete
investigation of the Allen dam during
the two weeks and report fully on this
matter. The people owning property
along the river have made repeated
complaints on the dam and it is posi-
h1o that +ho Corno;1 xxvs1f o~do~ 80 80
moved and the Kenosha river will
again flow unobstructed to the lake.
Supplies for Paupers.
The council continued the work of
organizing the municipal store by APP
propriating $3.50 which will be placed
at the disposal of storekeeper Jacobs
to purchase stock OF groceries and
, meat which will be for the exclusive
use Of the paupers now supported by
the city. The committee reported
that two of the paupers had been NOV
ed into Washington Home on the
island while third one not liking the
accommodations offered by the city
had gone to another city to make his
home. The list of dependents is being
rapidly thinned out and the exchecquer
of the city is not suffering any by this
thinning out process.
Other Council Notes
The council reported favorably on
fifty six applications for saloon IL
censes and the bonds of the different
saloon men were reported correct by
the committee on bonds. The licenses
