of doing business of the body.
All of the aldermen were present, al
though Aid. Mckinley did not arrive
until the Milwaukee train came in from
the north. The train was an hour late,
getting in at 1880 o'clock, and all i'm
portant business was delayed until his

said that representative of the COM
pany had called upon MIN and intimat-
ed that compromise could be made
for about $500.
Aid. Jorgensen said that the citizens
committee had agreed to furnish the
company 800 contracts, but did actually
furnish only $50. The city would have
benefited had the enterprise gone
through, and as it was the company had
spent much money. He was not in
favor of bleeding the company on top
of all this, and would be in favor of
compromising.
Aid. Schroeder did not want to COM
promise for less than half.
Aid. Kleinschmidt said that if set
Element was made, other people might
want to settle also, and he would not
like to have this made practice. On
the other hand it seemed hard to exact
the full amount of the bond.
Aid. Coy said that the city had
! granted franchise in good faith, and
he would not favor settling for less
than half the amount of the bond.
Aid. Mckinley arrived while this
matter was being discussed. The mat
ter was left to the new council.
Site for New Hospital.
w. A. Funk appeared before the
council on behalf of the board of trade
committee that was appointed to assist
the German Lutheran Hospital associa-
ton in getting a location. Mr.. Funk
said that unless a location could be Sc
cured, the hospital was likely to 90 to
some other town, and already PROPOSE
tons have been made to get it. He
suggested that the hospital association
be allowed to take the half block on
North Fourth street that the city has
purchased from the Omaha railway
company. A beautiful hospital would
be erected. What the city needs is the
things that help the city, and hospitals
do help cities. The residents of Man
kato, irrespective of religion, so far as
seen, are in favor of city giving the in
stitution substantial aid by donating
the Fourth street site, which has been
partly paid for. There is no rivalry
with st. Joseph's hospital connected
with this new proposition. st. Joseph's
hospital has done noble work, and is
always crowded. Both will receive
their patronage. The outgoing council
could do nothing better or grander thar
to crown its past good and faithful
work by giving to the hospital associa-
ton the city's little interest in the hall
block. If the city compromises the. gas
company bond at $500 it will be donat.

deavor to do justice by all the taxpay-

Aid. Kleinscnmidt is republican and
was defeated for reelection. His name
was not thought of in connection with
the assessorship until within the last
two days. As assessor he will be a
member of the board of public works.
As he is practical man he will prove
to be a valuable addition to that body.
Aid. Jorgensen said that his under
standing was that the paving action
taken at the last meeting was based on
the petition, whereas the minutes say
that it was not based on petition.
1t was explained that the minutes
showed the action just as it was taken,
and as all of the aldermen understood
it at the time.
The first thing taken up after the ap-
proval of the minutes was the canvas
sing of the vote of Tuesdays election.
The figures were found to be just as
published by The Free Press Wednes-
day, and the mayor formally declared
the successful candidates elected to
their respective offices. Through an er-
ror, the second ward judges did not
make return of the votes cast for II.

The fire department presented its
nomination of A. d. Beach for chief

ing an item of $23S.l3 for work in the
parks. Another was from Harlan
Macbeth for $40 for livery hire during

pairs of water pipes and meters that
have been frozen. The other bill was
one presented by Anna c. Throdanl fol

gust, September, October, November ant
December, 1908, in collecting water
meters and special assessments. AlG
Jorgensen said that the bill is really
just, and yet ought to be commented
upon. The treasurer's salary is but
$500 year, yet the work is hard and
very much increased by water meter

Aid. Conrad Kleinschmidt of the Sec
ond ward was elected city, assessor by
the council last night. The position
went to him on the ninth ballot, he re-
ceiving four votes and j. w. Fowler, 2.
Assessor Jordan was not candidate
for reelection, he having announced his
withdrawal from the contest at about
six o'clock in the evening.
The selection of an assessor was the
most interesting feature of the meeting,
and although this task was not reached
by the aldermen until late hour, the
crowd in the lobby remained until the
election of Mr.. Kleinschmidt was an
nounced. ts,,t sntF
The first ballot stood Eugene Coy /,

second and third ballots were a repe

he had spoken of be laid over to the

council should take care of its bills, and
could investigate the items. He thought
that the bills We're no doubt proper.
He thought that the bills ought to be

run.

bills over. Whe nthe council came to

were all allowed by a unanimous vote.
