City Council Proceedings.
Continued from First page.

meeting of the council and the
clerk was instructed to, if pos
sib1e, find other bidders.
Then came the question of
e1ecting two night policemen.
There were eleven applicants, but
the question of eligibility on &C
count ofnon-residence was raised
and five of the applicants went
out on the ground of non-resi-
dence, which of. course was not
warranted or necessary, but in
this case probably resulted in no
loss to the city.
Arthur Collier and W. c. Wiki
erson were elected on the first
ballot.
A petition of the co1ored resi-.
dents of the southeastern section
of the city asking for addition of
one man to the night police force
with the special duty of patrollng
that section, and nominating
Henry Sharp (col) for the posi-
tion, was tabled on motion of
Alderman Grover without discus
sion or division.
Proposition from the manager
of the Helen May Butler Military
Band Co., offering to make Fitz-
gerald headquarters for term
of ten years provided the city
would furnish a suitable building
free of rent for two years, was
read and met with the favorable
approval of a majority of the
council. Major BULGE and |. Gel
ders representing the Lee-Grant
hotel owners stated that the Lee
Grant property could be had at
monthly rental of $4,000, and a
committee was appointed with
the mayor as chairman empower
ed to make the deal with the Lee
Grant Co., and the Helen May
Military Band Co.
Ordinance No., 200 was put On
it's last reading and passage and
then was enacted the most miser-
able fasco that ever disgraced a
city councils deliberations. The
ordinance provides for enforce
ment of certain provisions of the
state law against Sunday traffic.
A mere co-ope ration of the city
authorities with the state courts
in keeping closed those places
that have no right under the law
of any civilized government to do
business on the holy Sabbath day.
Alderman Hooker introduced an
amendment intended to ridicule
and kill the ordinance but ma
| iority of the council resented the
farce and enacted as righteous
law as was ever offered in the
name of decency, law and order.
Ordinance No. POI was put on
| its first reading, which simply
provides for $1,000 license for
sign painters.
The mayor called attention to
the city bell but nothing definite
was done.
The purchase of wood at S1.5O
per cord was authorized on
motion of Alderman Tisdel.
AS chairman of the w. & l..
committee Aid. Tisdel reported
that the new we'll casing had ar
rived and the com mittee was
Instructed to have the new air lit
installed and was authorized to
correspond with the air lift man
ufacturers and proceed with the
installation. At this point the
capacity and needs of the electric
plant was discussed at length out
of which it became apparent that
a new and larger dynamo would
be an early necessity.
Major BULGE made statement
for the Blue & Gray Park and
proposed a baseball ground.
