A bin OF sl430 by A. J. smallwood
for groceries furnished his father while
there was smallpox in the latter's fam
lily was rejected on the grounds that the
father was able 10 pay for them.
The West Fork Oil and Natural Gas
company presented bill of $ll0.64 for
the erematory, $40 for street lights,
$500 for lights and fires at the hcadquar-
tiers of the fire department, $50 for the
water works for the past three months,
$50 for the old crematory, $3.50 for the
first connection Mt the new crematory.
and $e4.75 for changes made at the lat
ter.
The first thing that occurred in this
connection was direction that city clerk
notify. the company to render their bills
against the city monthly. It was then
decided that the bill for $24.75 be paid
by the crematory company. The bills
were all ordered paid, except one for
sos for material for street lights, which
was rejected on the ground that II was
the duty of the company to keep it's
lights IN repair. i.
The clerk was instructed to draw q
voucher for $1,000, less the sa4.75 al
ready mentioned, in favor of the Dixon
Garbage Cremasory Manufacturing COM
pany.
j. N. Vines bill of s4s for work done
in the Glen-Moore addition was referred
to Councilman Law, who has had charge
OF the street work there. Mr.. Wine APP
peared before council and explained that
in q former settlement this bin had been
overlooked.
Dudley Brittss bin for work done as
city engineer was discussed at length.
Some tohught 1t was exorbitant- Coun-
Gilman McAndrew thought It was incor-
rect and that the work for which pay
was asked had not been done. He did
not think the engineer spent the time at
the work the bill indicated. Others said
there was nothing to do but pay, since
1t was itemized and no one was in posi-
zion to say that the items were not corr
rect. Street Superintendent Doyle did
mot know anything about It. Council
man Kelley moved 10 pay the bili, and
the motion carried, Mr.. McAndrew being
the only one who voted against Z.
Then an order was passed that the
street superintendent keep the time Of
the city engineer and his assistants just
as he does in reference to others in the
ciey's employ.
Chairman Kelley of the water works
committee reported everything progress
ing nicely in that department The city
clerk called attention to the fact that
the Baltimore s Ohio Railroad company
has applied over the telephone for rates
to supply penstock for passenger train
service. It was the sense of the council
that the facilities were not such as to
furnish the railroad company such SER
vice, but it was concluded to walt until
the company puts It's application in
due FORM
Air. Kelley stated that he had directed
the city clerk to notify the management
Of the Hazel-Atlas glass factory that the
water supply would be cut OF the FIRST
Of the coming month unless the agree.

with. BE sought the sense Of the ccun-
Gil relative TO this action and was In
