!. The Committee on Ordinances, Char
ter, and Reform. will meet in regular
session tonight at o'clock In the City
Hall. This committee has waded through
pile of business since Its organization
last July and has a large amount Of
work on hand at the present time which
will occupy members we'll into the sum-
ner.
This big task. is the investigation Of all
the city departments as to methods of
administration, salaries, and wages. Sub
committees are now hard at work on
this, getting their reports in shape.
Under the old regime the Committee
on Ordinances only met a few times q
year because very little. business was
ever referred to them.
Chairman Pollock and other members
of the committee now. however, see to it
that all important legislation passes first
either branch of the Council.
SALE OF IMPURE FOOD.
AT the meeting tonight one of the most
important matters to be considered will
be the ordinance prohibiting the sale of
adulterated or impure milk. meat, and
food and providing for the appointment
of an inspector. The president of the
Board of Health, will more than proba-
bly, be present to urge favorable ac-
The committee will also consider the
following matters:
Resolution adopted by the Common
Council. and referred by the Board, re-
questing the city delegation in the Cen
eral Assembly to introduce and secure
the passage Of law restricting the num-
Der of bar-rooms to one for every five
/. hundred of population. An ordinance re-
qutring lady patrons of theatres to re-
move their hats. during the hours of
performance A provision in the ordi-
nance makes the owner lessee. or pro-
prietor Of theatre equally as am enable
to the law II man. woman. or child is
permitted by him to wear a hat during
a performance.
An ordinance granting $4,000 cubic feet
of gas to the Valentine Museum This
grant has been made several times. but
will come up tonight on reference by the
Common Council with report from the
Finance Committee recomm ending It's
discontinuance.
Another ordinance Of this character to
be considered IS one granting 5000 cubic
feet Of gas to the Methodist Institute
at Nineteenth and Main streets This
comes with a favorable report from the
Light Committee and has as yet not been
in the hands Of the Finance Committee.
TO PROVIDE MORE FIREMEN.
An ordinance providing for the appoint
ment Of an additional fireman in the
Clay Hall.
The report which the committee made
to the Council at Its last meeting with
reference to the office of Mayor will come
back to them, having been recommitted
with resolution requesting a report in
detail on changes and reforms If such
be necessary. 1t is a matter Of doubt as
to what further action will be taken in
this case and 1t is a question as to wheth-
er any further investiga ton of the
Mayors office will be made The report
of the committee which comes back was
published about a month ago.
