The first thing that occurred in this
connection was direction that city clerk
notify the company to render their bills
against the city monthly. 1t 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 it was
the duty of the company to keep its
lights in repair.
The clerk was instructed to draw a
voucher for $1,000, less the S24.75 al
ready mentioned, in favor Of the Dixon
Garbage Crematory Manufacturing COM
pany.
J. NJ. Wines bill OF $4s for work done
in the Glen-Moore addition was referred
to Councilman Law, who has had charge
of the street work there. Mr.. Wine mp
peared before council and explained that
in a former settlement this bill had been
overlooked. i
Dudley Bribt's bill for work done as
city engineer was discussed at length.
Some tohught it 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
it was itemized and no one was in posi-
ton to say that the items were not cor
rect. Street Superintendent Doyle did
not know anything about it. Council
man Kelley moved to pay the bill, and
the motion carried, Mr.. McAndrew being
the only one who voted against it.
Then an order was passed that the
street superintendent keep the time of
the city engineer and his assistants just
MS he does in reference to others in the
city'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& Ohio Railroad company
has applied over the telephone for rates
to supply a penstock for passenger train
service. 1t was the sense Of the council
that the facilities we're not such as tc
furnish the railroad company such ser.
vice, hut it was concluded to wait until
the company puts its application il
due form.
Mr.. 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 off the frs
Of the coming month unless the agree
ment to pay $500 year was compiled
with. He sought the sense of the coun
ell relative to this action and was in
formed that there was an agreement t
furnish water free to the factory for
period of five years, which had not a
yet expired, but it was also brought on
that the factory people at the time aske'
for only, "a small amount OF water.
The light committee recommended tht
placing OF a natural gas light at the cor
ner of Preston and Hickman streets; ais,
one on Monticello avenue; another OIL
Carr avenue, and still another on ghape
street. The, recommendation was adopt
ed, and the lights ordered placed.
1 a. II. stotler was given permission t,
erect a two,story warehouse on an al
ley between North Fourth and Nortl
Fifth streets.
A change was made in the license o
D. Il. Grove, druggist, SOFAS to .aathoriz
