ought to be used in making ont bills
for presentation to the council.

them should be made to swear to

Rumle;.
Randolph moved that the bills of
election officers should be reduced one
day-it would save the city $40.

ton got no sleep that night and
thought they deserved a day and a
half.

Hawley said the scavenger charged
more than the ordinance allowed, but
he could not make a living if he did
not. He had been paid $l.00 instead
of SOC load by the last council.
The mayor desired to know whether
the council was to be governed by the
last council or by the ordinances.
Rumley thought it would be easy
to amend the ordinance.

ger was paid $l,0O for loads he only
charged half what the ordinance al
lowed him for cleaning closets.
Randolph moved that the sanitary
committee amend the ordinance. Car
ried.
The street commissioner reported
that the men had to discount their
warrants at the bank and that he
could not get them to work.
Rumley stated the men ought to re-
ceve one hundred cents on the dollar,
and moved that all their warrants be
drawn at II sufficient amount to cover
the discount.
Randolph thought it better to ar
range for their money to be paid at
its face value, and the city pay the
interest.
RumIey insisted that his motion
prevail this time, the men be paid at
once, and arrangements made after
wards. Carried.
The mayor suggested the advisable
ity of taking an inventory of the tools
belonging to the city, and also take
up the street commissioner bond.
