other Matters That Came Be-
fore That Body.

n ALI DlllS were T0du Dc1OI0 COuuCAA
and ordered to be paid.
The following recommendation was
offered by Mr.. c. S. Neal;
II desire to call your attention to
the fact that the sidewalks are often
badly obstructed by persons engaged
in moving household goods or doing
other work in which it is necessary to
tansfer goods from wagons into
houses or vice versa. This is a viola
tion of the law
The police were instructed to see
that the law was not violated in this
manner.
Mr.. o. S. Nixon called the atten-
tion of council to the water that
comes from the Wayne works. 1t
runs over the sidewalk and street and
makes it very bad The Wayne works
should see to the carrying away of
this water.
This ecommendation was referred
to the committee on streets and al
leys.
Mr.. Charles S. Neal presented the
following motion to council:
81 desire to call the attention of
council to the need Of a pavilion at
the Glen. This has become more
manifest since the establishment of
the annual chautauqua, which must
now rely upon tent for protection
from the weather. IF there were a
permanent pavilion, it would not only
result In an increased attendance at
the chautauqua, but also in bringing
a number of other gatherings to the
Glen, and would be useful in many
ways. 1t is evident that the traction
companies running into Richmond
must be interested in anything that
would bring more people to Richmond,
and that the Commercial club and the
park board must also be deeply con-
cerned in the project.
I'm view of these facts, move
that the mayor name a committee of
three from council to confer with the
park board, Commercial club and rep
resentatives of the Richmond Street
& Interurban Railway company, the
indianapolis & Eastern Railway COM
pany and the Dayton & Western
Railway company as to what they are
willing to do toward its construc-
tion.'
This motion was concurred In. The
committee appointed consisted Of Mr..
c. S. Neal, DR.. Bowers and Edgar
Norris.
The following recommendation was
offered by o. S. Nixon:
81 desire to call the attention of
council to the necessity Of the city
having in its employ a man who is
acquainted with the sewer system of
the city and one who can properly
flush same when necessity requires |
This matter is usually attended to
by Frank Ralston, in a very satisfac-
tory manner. I would, therefore, rec
ommend that he be placed on the |
regular pay roll of the city at the |
rate of $15 per week"
Mr. Gem thought that since Mr.
RalstOn never worked more than a
whole day during a week, he should
only be paved twenty-five cents an
hour during the time he is employed
on the sewers. This was referred to
the street and alley committee.
The report of the finance committee
was as follows:
Whereas, 1t is deemed necessary
and for the best interests of the CITY |
of Richmond that temporary loans. |
aggregating $4,000 should be OBJ
tanned for the use of the said citv
within the next two months. full an
thority is hereby given said mayor
clerk, treasurer and finance commit
tee to do and perform all the duties
necessary to secure the said loan of
$4,000, as the same is needed, from
time to time
