trusted to him by the council to
keep the city clean. He had re-
peatedly requested the police Of
hcers to enforce the law against
The throwing of waste paper and
other rubbish on the streets, but
so far had failed TO accomplish his
purposes. He was powerless

hcers and he asked that the mayor
cooperate with him in his efforts
to see that the law is enforced.
No action was taken on the re-
port but Mayor Beavers made one
Of his characteristic speeches. It was
brief but decidedly pointed. He
said that the duties OF all officers

in his duties and had absented him
self from the city a month without

inclined to think that this wa.
cause for suspension. The laws
in this city" said he, must b
enforced, OF there will be lot o
5 trouble. I"
+ New business was called for. The
, ordinance committee reported th'
I to-dinances drawn for the plan Q
operating the waterworks, i'll &C
i lcordance with the recommendation
{ OF the water committee at the las
r meeting, but as there was no mo
i uon made TO take this business up
/ the Mayor ruled that unhnishe
business was in order. This brough
up the matter Of elccting waite
