ploycd by them, yet so much of his
time was occupied in fumigating and
quarantining that he could not seek
other labor, consequently felt that
his bill of s4j was just and O. KID it.
MIR. Evans also stated that it was the
City Physicians desire that Mr..
Farnes be placed under his direction
entirely and that he could then use
HIM to the gratest advantage in hav-
ing the city kept clean.
Mayor Robinson made the state
ment that 1t might not be advisable
to raise an objection at this time If it
would unsettle matters any, as Mr..
Farnes was at that time at the A. c.
dOrmitOry where small pox has broken
out and there is fear of an epidemic
at present.
Councilman Carlisle warmed up and
spoke in defense Of Farnes; said he be-
lieved he earned the money and should
be paid Said it might be advisable
to investigate later.
And then Mr.. Hatch fell all over
himself. In voice slightly raised
from his usual modest tone, he urged
that he wanted nothing but regularity
(Which is eminently proper but the
gentleman added that "only the other
day man said TO him that any old
bill could be presented and the com
mittees would o. X it," and II AM
INCLINED TO BELIEVE 1T Is ABOUT
RIGHT thus casting serious and
unwarranted reflection.
Messrs. Quayle and Bell told him so,
and none could doubt that Mr..
Bell meant it thoroughly.
Mr.. Hatch's motion to strike out
the claim was lost for want of sec
ond.
EVANS OBJECTS.
A Dill from Ritter Bros. for fumigat-
ing truck, ETC., offered Mr. Evans the
opportunity to kick. He asked
whether Riter's were selling at whole
sale. Mr.. Lindquist said that some
portion of the stuff was listed at a
price less than he could buy it. Mr..
Evans stated that he had secured pri-
ces at three drug stores and that he
could buy the stuph for mnch less.
The bill passed.
MIR. HATCH
arose to another Objection-the meals
furnished election judges. There was
a little talk about this and finally
dropped.
Mr.. Hatch also found something
wrong with THE REPUBLICANS bill
Of s47-"something he couldn't quite
understand. A portion of the bin
was allowed and the remainder left
until Mr.. Turner comes home from
Salt Lake. Mr.. Hatch tried very
hard to find Mr.. Turner, but he was
out of town.
Mr.. Hatch also inquired as to city
poundkeeper's bill, and Mr.. Gnehm,
FIVE minutes. His bill went through.
Heretofore, bills have been accepted
up to the very minute of council meet
ing, and in this way committees have
been placed at the disadvantage of
having to go over them hurriedly
and without proper inspection. A
resolution was adopted at this meet
ing requiring that all bills shall be pre-
: sented at least three days before the
night on which appropriation is de-
sired. This will give ample opportun-
ity for careful scrunity and do away
with much Of the wrangling that is a
portion of every appropriation night.
The public should take cognizance OF
this new turn in affairs and get their
bills to the recorders office at least
three days before the regular council
meeting on the first Wednesday of
each month.
! The bond of Mr.. Orson Smith
was read and accepted. Messrs. John
II. Anderson and James w. Quayle
are sureties for the 5000 asked for.
Mr.. Peter Eliason presented petit.
