City Council Meeting.

The city council held an adjourned meeting yesterday afternoon at which considerable business was transacted.
 An ordinance fixing the salary oI city assessor and tax collector at Sl5G per year, was passed to take effeet February 6, 1905, when the new asses sor to be elected at the election !n January will go into office. Under tI.e present system of fees the position IS worth about 5000. The bond of tie assessor and tax collector is SIC, 009. A resolution was also passed calling an election for city officers to be held on the first Tuesday in January, 1905, being on the third day of the month.
 The above resolution and ordinance appear in this issue of the Journal Miner.
 Another resolution was passed auth orizing the proper city officials to execute a deed to nv 14 of the sw Of section ?, township IA, ? W, better known as the target grounds to the United States. This property was pur- chased by rhe city from John Smitl for the purpose of donating it to the government for target range, as oEe of the conditions of getting WhippIe reestablished as a military post, and the division target shoot was held oa the grounds in 1903 and the highest general score was made that has ever been made in the army. Army officers pronounced it the best target range in the United States.
 The council also audited all ths outstanding bills against the city amounting to about S8, 900.
 A resolution was passed authorizing the payment of 8 to the owner of horse or horses pulling a hose cart tG a fire, which arrives at the scene o2 the fire first. It has been the custom. heretofore for owners or drivers of ex- press wagons, delivery wagons and other vehicles to give the fire boys a lift when going to fires by pulling their apparatus. It has been purelE voluntary on their part and without pay, but under the provisions of this an incentive is offered for such services.

ant.
Here are some OF the benefits which
London and its people have already de-
rived from the public ownership of ira M
ways. After paying ali expenses and al
lowing for the sinking fund. there re-
manned n profit of about $1,000 OF which
10000 was applied to the reduction Of
taxes, or 1.-The relief Of rates." as 1t is
termed in England Anything which re-
lleves the rates need not fear unpopu-
larity in Great Britain, and the same Is
true of other countries which could be
named Then there has been Instituted an
all night car service. much needed In
stituton In the metropolis.
The most popular reform was general
reduction in fares. and the running OF
workmcn's cars Mt a rate not exceeding
pennies for a round trip. This means
that the London workman can go and
return from his work at an expense not
exceeding cents 4 day--40 per cent. of
what II costs In the United States, and
half of what 1t formerly cost him. The
private companies covered the Windows
with advertisements. so that 1t was i'm
possible for the passenger to determine
his location. The County Council re-
moved them, thereby losing revenue. but
gaining friends. 1t also reduced the hours
Of employment OF Its men from twelve
and fourteen n day to ten. and gave them
one days rest in seven. 1t also increased
their wages materially Conductors and
motormen now receive $3.50 day. Con-
siderlng the cost Of living. thisS wage
compares favorably with that for similar
work In the United States. The city also
