CALLED THE ELECTION
Council at a Special Meeting Passed
Resolution Calling the Annual
Election for April 10.

A special meeting Of the city
Gil Tuesday evening was presided
over by Acting Mayor Hannett.
A resolution was introduced for
the calling OF the annual municipal
election and it was passed. The call
Includes, aside from the aldermen
from each ward, and the other elect
i've officers, for a vote on the issuance
of 500, 900 bonds for the establishment
OF a sewerage system. these same
bonds we're voted upon one year ago
and they passed, but under the law
at that time there was a legal reslric-
tiOn against such an act that made
it impossible to sell them. The late
legislature passed an act which le-
galizes the issuance of these.bonds at
the coming election. 10 meet the
necessity for putting in the sewers
last fall city warrants were issued,
drawing I per cent, and it was for
the purpose of taking up the war
rants that the bonds are to be is
sued, which will mean the saving
Of two per cent interest. The reso-
luton also provided for an election
on the sale OF intoxicating liquors.
The following JUDGES we're appointed
for the various wards:
First ward-Levi Pierce, superin-
tendent. j. c. Purdy, e. T. Grin
nell.
Second ward-C. /. Miltimore,
superintendent, Jos. Mclaughlin,
w. III. Bloss.
Third wa1d-C. 81. Kibbee, super
intendent, Il. r. Storer, j. c. Roth.
Fourth ward-Wm. Nash, superin-
tendent, a. M. Crossett, Jas. A1ney,
Sr.
The equipment of the auditorium
of the city hall with a stage was TAX
en- up and discussed. Since the build
ing was finished only a temporary
stage of a very crude nature was put
in, but the council decided to equip
the room with a good stage, two
dressing rooms and footlights. The
building committee vas authorized
to take charge of the improvement
and have it completed. This will
thus afford the lecture and concert
course management an opportunity
to increase the sale OF tickets to a
larger extent than in the opera house.
The ordinance requiring the saloons
OF the city to remove all slot machines
musical instruments, etc., from their
places of business was placed on its
second reading and passed. After
the publication of the ordinance,
which will be found elsewhere in
the paper, it will be in full force
and effect, sc these features in the
saloons will have to cease this even
ing.
The board OF county commissioners
we're granted permission to build the
dipping tank for this city at any To-
cation that would be satisfactory to
tile members of the street and alley
COlulllltuec.
The water committee was author
iced to dispose of the brick which
formerly encased one OF the boilers
at the water works.
The bill of j. E. Wells, amounting
to 800 for insurance on the new
boiler at the water works, was al
lowed.
The petition has been filed with
the city auditor calling for a vote
on the license question. This was
accomplished this year by the saloon
keepers themselves. Heretofore, I'M
der a mistaken idea OF the law, the
temperance people have looked after
the petition. which gave them an
opportunity TO try and defeat Ii
cense, but under the recent intrepre-
tatioE Of the liquor law it becomes
the duty Of the saloon keepers to
see that the question is voted upon.
