Alma College
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
Their Treasury Empty and No Funds in
Sight.

The athletic association is threatened
with difficulty in its finances in the
spring Last year an arrangement was
made whereby the athletic association
RENTED its dues and reduced the price
of games to fifteen cents. Each student
was assessed 81 semester and this
money was to be used to defray athletic
expenses. Owing to Misunderstanding
with the college authorities, this money
has been taken from the control of the
athletic association and placed under
the direction of the college, and a large
part OF it may be used for equipment of
the gymnasium. Just where the money
is to come for spring athletics is now
troubling the ass ociatiou.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

The new council met in regular
session Tuesday evening.
Current bills were examined ana
allowed. In considering the bill for
special police during the Carnival il
developed that the opinion of the
council is that the Thing was great
fraud.
Mr.. Dollison.. assistant: Fire Chief ,
presented petition, signed by 800
and more citizens asking that the
team be put under control of the
Fire Company. After considerable
discussion, on motion of Mr.. Gage,
it. was ordered that the team be kept
in the Engine House in care of Fire
Company. and to be used for other
purposes than at fires, only on the
order of the Mayor or Council.
A petition was presented asking
for the opening of an alley from
Mulberry to Walnut street. south of
the Lutheran church.
DR.. Pullen placed in custody Of
the mayor booke and papers of the
previous officer. He was authorized
to pay orders from the money in his
possession, regardless of the condition
of the fuud on which the order was
drawn.
The Mayor appointed Marshal
Price street commissioner, and con-
tinued the deputy marshals.
The salary Of George Bishop, oiti.
zens night police, was raised from
$40 to $40 per month on the condi-
ton that he "compel all men in bu.
siness" to observe the ordinances.
The fee for arrests was raised from
s0c to $1.eO, which is collectable
from the party arrested, and not
from the village.
After some discussion on the spec
i6cations Of street paving, the coun-
Gil adjourned to meet on Thursday
(this) evening.
