The "City Dads" held their first

interest and number of important
matters came up, notably the ex-
tension Of the electric light fran

order of business. The meat inspec.
tors report showed animals butch
cred as follows; December cattle,

IS, the largest record for many
months. Collector Thompson re-
ported occupation tax for January,
$Io6.25 and total tax collection up
to Feb. 1, S2o,T53.Io.
A communication from the sup
erintendent of waterworks. f. A..
Peyton, was read stating that the
Rock Island wanted to tap the sew
er and as the company did not use
city water and paid no taxes he re-
commended that it be charged at
least $25 a year fer the service in
addition TO the regular tapping fee
Of S.. His recommendation was
adopted.
A petition to permit exclusive
pool and billiard rooms to do busi-
ness on Sunday was tabled.

as 70 the funds from which certain
bills should be allowed.
An ordinance combining the Of
fees Of assessor and collector wassin-
troduced but action on il was de-
ferred.
On suggestion of the Mayor the
matter Of assessing and collecting
tax from railroads was introduced
but met with but little response
from the council. Nothing came Of
the matter.
Mr.: Early moved that the cleo
trio light franchise be next taken
up and disposed of at that meeting
as Judge Holmes had been waiting
some time and wanted to know
what disposition would be made of
it. The franchise had passed several
readings and had been amended.
The amendments were again read.
Then came discussion OF the
matter. O'Brien said that while he
woub, not be against granting an
extension of the franchise if it was
for the best interests Of the city and
the ordinance was properly .Gand
safely drawn, he was not ready to
be rushed into passing the franchise
as it then stood and was not ready
to vote on it.
Scoffern thought that they had
spent enough time on it and un-
derstood it as we'll now as they
would in two months and that he
was ready to vote on it. Cochran
thought it would be all right to
pass 1t as II woitld insure the Det-
terment Of the service and was
ready to vote on it. Louthan
thought an extension on certain
conditions was proper, but wanted
