L will give $55 for the old fire team.
Yours very truly,
w. ]. BRoADHURST.
Mr.. Beemer moved thai it be the
sense of the council that $500 be ac-
cepted for the team, II taken at once;
If not, they be sent to pasture, where
they can be kept at a more reasonable
rate than at a livery stable, and the mo-
ton prevailed, the fire committee t.
have charge of the matter.
Clerk Tyvold, a member of the spec
ial committee on the refunding bonds,
had taken the matter up with Charles
l.. Mallin, the assistant state examin-
err. who thought his Office would be
willing to take action with the city aft
sr TIE present rush Of business is over.
The committee, consisting of the
mayor, clerk n attorney, will make
report at the mex meeting of the coun-
ell OR later.
Mayor Mckee had received a note
from Judge Lacey, who stated that he
would be unable to visit the city until
he had submitted the matter OF a wat
err main to the general offices Of the
Union Pacific at Omaha.
The mayor and District Foreman
Sullivan had gone over Grand avenue
on the day the trouble had occurred on
the water main and had found eleven
leaks. He had communicated again
with Judge Lacey, who had referred the
matter to the Omaha officials.
The need of a new water main is
manifest, the mayor said, and he fear
ed the rolling mills would not be able
to start under full force until it had
been laid. Judge Lacey had assured
certain citizens that the railroad com
pany would put in a main when the
time came, and the mayors fear was
that the company would have ten or
fifteen carloads of pipe here before The
citizens knew anything about it. He
was for getting ready to do the share
the city will assume at the same time
the railroad work is done. This will
include the necessary connections for
the lateral mains at the street cross
ings. He believed it would cost a great
deal less to do the work at that time
than later, and this was the of
| the members of the council as well.
Mr.. Phillips a see no reason for
an elaborate system of engineering,
costing from one to two thousand dol
lars.
On motion of Mr.. Spicer, the mayor
was directed to correspond with the
chief engineer of the Union Pacific
Railroad company relative to the plans
and cost of the installation of a new
system of water distribution for Lara
mic.
Mr.. Spicer moved, but the motion
was not seconded, and, consequently
not acted upon, that a committee of
three be appointed to draft plans and
devise am of proceeding in the wa
ter matter, to avoid the constant dis
cussion without results.
Mr.. McMurray introduced the pro-
posed ordinancef for the licensing of itin-
Grant merchants and peddlers. The or
dinance was in blank, and on motion OF
Mr.. Phillips, the proposed licenese VIII
be SIS for ten days, and the ordinance
will carry a fine of not less than S25
nor more than $50 for a violation of its
terms.
An amendment was offered except
ing the produce peddlers from the OPP
Grafton of the law, and this is expected
to bring a protest from the market men
of the city, who contend that when
they have stocked their stores with
produce peddlers from Fort Collins and
other places come along, visit the resi-
dents of the citizens, and the mer-
chants stocks are allowed to spoil on
the tables at the market.
Mr.. McMurray, the city attorney, re-
