for the official stationery; but 1t is posi-
BILE that there will not be so many bidders.

new fire hail. which referred to the
building committee and to the architect
for examination, will be reported again,

Brewing company again asks the council
to take up the matter of the lease on the
building now occupied by the city as
fire hall. This matter, which has been
postponed several times, will probably be
settled at the meeting. The water COM
pany will report the new hydrant which
they have put in on the northeast corner
OF Twenty and Jefferson streets.
