bers Of the Presbyterian church was

the trainmen heard those on the in

Finlanders, made their appearance.
The sheriff took them to his apart

checked over to see if any was miss
ing or damaged. While this was
being done the tourists were exam
med and II cents found on them.
Thew had been working at Duluth

looking for business at the expense
of the tax payer when it was not

Application of Albert and Rock

was executed. q:
CIV. Wilson asked if there would
be any objections to saloon in his
buildings where the cigar store was
or where the pop factory was form
erly located, if not an application
might be made for license in one of
these buildings The council were
Unanimous in the sentiment tnat 9
license would not be granted for q
saloon in either of these buildings as
they deemed it best to keep tho ga
looms as close together as posi- bic.
Motion prevailed that no free re-
newals of electric lamps would be
made where the lamp was burned
out. One member suggested the re-
newal Of lights in the Court House
tower, but no action was taken. We
believe this would meet the appro-
button of the people. ~
There being $1s7 Of delinquent
light and water rent the clerk was
instructed to notify delinquents that
if their rental was not paid in ton
days the service would be shut of.
Clerk was also instructed to enforce
rules regarding collection of light
and water and if not complied with
to put the penalty into. effect.
An extension of the fire limits
was discussed, no action taken.
Officer Thurber was present clad
in a nice neat new uniform with
sparkling bright buttons and was
ordered to instruct the curfew ortlj-
nance.
Justice G. W. W. Dow requested
instructions relative to ordering
persons convicted of an offense to
the village lock up that building be-
ing condemned. He was referred to
the village attorney. An express
ion was made by member that
they had better try and build lock
up this year.
Improvements to the streets and
roads leading into town were dis
cussed and everything possible will
be done to place them in the best
condition circumstances will permit.
