CITY FATHERS HELD
ADJOURNED MEETING

An adjourned meeting of the COM
mon council was held Saturday after
noon at 4:30 o'clock at the Office of
City Clerk Lee. The session was for
the purpose of taking action on the
ordinance providing for the salaried
office of a city engineer.
The majority finance committee re-
ported that it was in favor of estab-
fishing the new office, Aldermen
Gillepwater and Hanley offering on
vincing arguments in showing that q
salaried engineer was both desirable
and an urgent necessity. Alderman
Ilfeld, who composed the minority
finance committee, opposed the meas
ure on the ground that the city was
unable at present to stand such a lux
ury. Following much argument on
both sides, the ordinance was passed.
1t does not specify what the salary of
the engineers will be but it will be
fixed, it is said at between $1,000 and
$1,000 a year.
Fire Chief Burtless reported that
the Electric Light company were
stringing ~uninsulated wire near the
Methodist church. The chief said
these wires are very dangerous in
case of fire, as a stream of water
passing near them would receive the
full current and transmit il down TO
the nozzles held by the firmen where
they would receive the fun force of
the current. The matter will be re-
ported to the Electric Light company
before any step is taken by the cuun-
Gil.
