he accepted the position of night
police that he was promised $75 per
month and he did not propose to work
for any less he believed the taxpayers
were all willing that he should receive
that amount.
Mr.. Beverstock opposed the bills on
the grounds that the ordinances under
which the council was working spool.
fed that they should be $50 and $65
respectively and did not see how they
could pay more. He was willing that
the night marshal should receive 800
per month if there was an ordinance
covering it. but there was not.
Mr.. Bugbee and Mr.. Green were
notified that the council has just
drawn and passed ordinances raising
their salaries to what had been
promised them and that they would
become effective in two weeks. The
bills were then cut down and ordered
paid.

$25 for the month of Nay was dis.

FLORENCE BAND
IS HON0RED
Appointed to Enviable Place
With Military Rank
Is Now Known as the Second RegI-
mental Band, Colorado National
Guard Great Credit is Due
to Members of the Old
Organization.

The Denver Post of yesterday con-
tanned an elegant half tone picture Of
the Florence band which was yester-
day afternoon appointed by Governor
Peabody as the Second Regimental
band, O. G N. This organization
which was not given much credit a
year ago for their efforts to furnish
good band for the town by many of
our citizens is today enjoying the dis
tinction of being one of the best bands
in this part of the state. and to the
success of the Florence Military band
is large due to the untiring efforts of
Will Storm, who has never grown
weary in doing all he could to push
the enterprise. The band was organ
ized a little less than two years ago
and during that brief period has ac-
complished wonders. Last fall Will
King suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of
Incorporating the band which was
good move and was carried out.
All Of the band boys deserve credit
for the success of that organization
and The Tribune is glad it has always
done all in its power TO encourage
and help it along.
To John .. Macdonald much
credit must be given for helping to
secure the Appointment OF rne F1nr-
ence band to regimental rank and
honor.

A regular session Of the city council
was held last evening with Mayor
Moore in the chair There were
present Aldermen Jones. Blunt, Boett-
ler, Beverstock and Columbia. Alb
sent Wilson.
Alderman Blunt of the water COM
mittee reported that the pipe line on
West Second (Which will probably cost
the city $500 before it is through with
it, had been commenced but work had
to be suspended on account of the
rains.
Alderman Blunt also reported that
the committee had closed deal for
the water meters at ~ 90 each, and
that they were supposed to have been
shipped.
The monthly reports of all officers
as then read, accepted and and ordered
filed.
Committee on streets. bridges and

salary from 800 to s75 per month.
Alderman Columbia for the street.
bridges and alley committee reported
that he had seen Mr.. Robinson about
the East Second street bridge and
could get no satisfaction out of him.
The committee was instructed to
notify Mr.. Robinson that the work
must be completed at once, otherwise
the city would do the work and charge
it up against the fund being held for
that purpose.
The mayor suggested that the city
provide rock pile on which prisoners
might take exercise doing spare
moments.
This suggestion brought out consid-
erable discussion pro and con. Alder
man Columbi a thought that gravel
bank and a large sieve would be pre-
ferabie, costing less to maintain and
accomplishing the greatest amount of
good.
Mr.. Beverstock was of the opinion
that little of any work could be got
ten out of any of the prisoners.
