ne Town COUNCIL nelu us Regular
monthly meeting last Monday evening.
all members being present except
Trustee Lucas who was out of town.
The minutes of the former meeting
were read and the monthly reports of
town officials presented and ap-
proved.
The petition of citizens residing in
the neighborhood of Tenth street and
light be placed at that point. The
matter was referred to the light and
water committee
The stree: and alley committee re-
ported on the work recently done in
the grading of Minter and Lincoln
avenues. There has been demand
for this work for many years, and it
greatly improves the eastern portion
of the town. The street and alley
committee was instructed to select
and purchase trees for planting along
these streets.
Under the head of bills against the
town, two claims required some ex-
PLANTATION. one from Engineer Rcsen-
berg for work performed in indicat-
ing on the official map of the town
the sewer lines and their various
connections, and the other bill of
80 for postage stamps used in send
ing out invitations to stockmen to at
tend the convention at Glenwood De-
cember /. Both bills were allowed
with the rest.
A communication from the Good
presented, in which the company
quoted prices and terms on road
building machinery, but no action
was taken in regard to it.
The matter of the deficit incurred
by Hoover, Holmes ct al. in their at
| tempt to conduct district fair and
races was brought up. Ollie Thorson,
the town clerk, stated that he had ex-
amined the report of G. W. Hoover,
secretary of the Farmers club, and
finding many errors therein had re
turned it to Hoover, who, after again
checking it up, found errors enough
to reduce the deficit from nearly 81, 800
to *779 SS. Some one was unkind
enough to suggest that if this report
were referred back about twice more
the secretary might perhaps discover
a balance on hand. This appeared to
be popular suggestion, but it was
not placed in the form of motion
Henry Holmes. who engineered the
failure, was present but instead of
explaining how it happened, said the
club had always been a good thing
for Glenwood, and he seemed to think
the town should pay for his mistakes
W, q. Harris, president of the
Farmers club, said he had but little
TO say. The fair had proved disap-
pointing, and there was the deficit as
shown in the report, but he said it
was up to the council to pay or not.
Trustee Voorhees, made motion
that the deficit be paid A vote being
taken the motion was lost. four vot-
ing against it and one for it.
a communication from the Roar
ing Fork and Eagle River Stockgrow-
ers association asking the mayor to
appoint three delegates to the stock
men s convention to be held here De-
cember was read and the mayor ap.
pointed Trustees Clark, Voorhees, and
Barnes. Upon the suggestion of
Trustee Barnes, Mayor Parkison was
added to the committee.
The levy for the ensuing fiscal year
was fixed at five mills on the dollar
which is reduction of three mills
from the levy of last year. This re-
ducti on was made possible by the
splendid financial condition of the
town and the fact that less expendi-
lures will be required for improve
ments the coming year.
