Monthly Report Of Mayor and
Other City Officers Filed
Much Other Busi-
ness Transacted.

The City Council met in regu-
lar monthly session last night
with Mayor Paulk presiding. All
the aldermen were present ex-
cept Knapp.
The hour was late when the
mayor raped for order and be-
fore the minutes of the last meet
ing were read Pastor w. T.
Cummins, of the First M. E
Church asked for a rate on lights
for the parsonage and on motion
of Aid. Tisdel all parsonages
we're put on the same basis as
the churches. one-half rate.
DR.. c.. A. Holtzendorf then adj
dressed the council on the sub
iect of water and light to non
residents and the council fixed
by resolution a rate for water
and light to non-residents at
twice the rate to resident con-
sumers and the collector was in
structed to settle with DR.. Holt
zendorf and Mr.. E. K. Farmer
for past dues at that rate.
The minutes were then read
and approved after correction.
The old scandal of free water
and light to the councllmen and
mayor was again revived and at
least some of the aldermen were
opposed to paying the rent as
long as the old resolution was
not rescinded. Aid. Parrot then
offered a resolution resembling
that disgracefu1 law.
Aid. Hooker thought that free
phones for city officials should
come under the same head, but
Aid. Bowen, who is president of
the Telephone Co., explained
that the free phones at the city
hall power house, mayors office
and president of the councils
residence was simply a part of
the contract between the city and
the Telephone Co.
The Supt of the water and
light plant was authorized to fur
nish DR.. Holtzendorf current for
his automobile at the same me-
ter rate he paid for lights.
DIR. ]. H. Polhi1l asked to be
allowed the cost of his meter on
his light rent account, which was
granted.
