LOTS OF SMOKE
BUT LITTLE FIRE
COUNCIL SlDETRACKS EVERYTHING
Thompson Blocks Saloon Ordinance
-Linbarger Heads Of the
Light Question.

Everything was Sdetracked Monday
night at the council meeting. Either
there was no disposition to accom-
Dlish anything, or else trivial ex-
cuses were given for passing up the
things of Importance. Every body was
good natured and, barring an ex-
change of informalities between Coun-
cilmen Thompson and Linbarger,
nothing of particular interest trans
pired.
The first fight was upon the adop-
ton of the fire and water commit
tees report to reject the bid of the
Northwest Light and Water COM
pany for several new street lights.
Councilman Thompson precipitated
the fun by moving that the report be
not adopted Whereupon the COM
nittee Immediately came to the front
with reasons for their action. In
substance they stated that the light
company wanted to get the city to
contract for more lighs than is re-
quired.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Thompson said that the committee
showed every indication of wanting
70 KNOCK" the company. Council
man Marsh added fuel to the fire by
stating that the committee had been
very careless in its investigation, and
reported many things of Importance
TO the council that the committee in
charge stated was inside information
Mr. Linbarger few to the rescue
Of the committee, and after a wordy
melange which amounted to little or
nothing, the whole matter was re-
ferred back to the committee with
the request that they do something
by next meeting.
The sewer question came up in the
form Of a resolution to the effect
that the city advertise for new bids.
Thompson was on his feet in a mo-
nent, asking that the council listen
to him upon the proposition that the
city do the work itself He was de-
clared out Of order, and the whole
question was again postponed until
next meeting.
1t was the opinion OF the city attor-
Hey, expressed upon request of Mr..
Marsh. that the bids would have to
be asked for again. to make the bond
issue valid. After this teehnicality,
II is said, there will be nothing to
hinder the city from doing the work
by the day, or letting the Job to
another contractor. Mr.. Mullins
new proposition was not read to the
council, and it was evident that the
city desires nothing further to dc
with the case on the basis Of the bid
formerly made by that contractor.
Following the sewer proposition, a
letter to the city attorney from the

law, firm of Snyder & Preble. is now
associated himself with the firm Of
Gull & Davis, the old firm of Snyder

first of the month. The new firm
will be known as Preble, Gull & Da-
Wis. The former offices of Gull &
Davis will be retained, and are

the other, and both Of the nsa
promise the other fellow all he's rot
coming. However, there Is little
doubt but that lovers of a good and
clean wrestling bout will get their
moneys worth when this husky pair
get together. Thebarge is doing
some tall training, and will weigh
about 100 pounds when the match
comes OF. Buchholtz will weigh
about $50, and will have some ed
vantage in weight, but the French
man believes he makes 1t up in other
points.

been arranged. A big audience Is an

state treasurer was reaQ. IllS let
ter was in response to request by
the city council a month ago, to the
effect that the city attorney endeavor
to make compromise with the state.
This referred to the 10 per cent of
the saloon license fee due the state.
The substance of the treasurer's let
ter was that that official had no
authority to negotiate any compro-
misses. He said that as far as he
could see, the city would have to pay
in full. He also said that the propo-
sition to pay one-fourth of the
amount now and the balance quar-
terly would be acceptable.
After the reading Of the letter,
Councilman Thompson jumped to his
feet with fight in his eye. He said
he would rather make the state fight
for the amount rather than pay it
voluntarily.
Let them sue," he shouted; 'they
will have time getting evidence.
They claim $2643.S0, and If they
go to court about it, they will not
be able to prove that the city ever
collected &c cents. The expense of
defending the suit will not be enough
to make it worth our while to Quib-
BILE over it,"
Thompson's summary manner of
treating the proposition met with
the approval of the council.
The saloon ordinance prepared by
the city attorney at the request Of
the mayor was then stood up in line
to meet the same dilatory tactics
that Thompson had planned for ev-
erything. The ordinance was read
and ordered to a second reading,
when the expected attack from Mr..
Thompson began. He announced that
it was getting late, and he had sew
eral amendments to offer that would
take long time. His plea won out,
and that followed the course of the
rest of the attempts to do something.
AS a sort of a retribution for his
policy of obstruction, Thompson's
amendment to the building ordinance
was also referred back to the city at
torney for alterations. His amend
ment provides that two-story build
ings may be erected to three stories
without changing the dimensions OF
the foundations of the former to
comply with the provisions of the
ordinance in reference to three-story
buildings.
In this instance the city attorney
was instructed to make general or
dinance. providing for the erection
of six-story buildings.
The saloon ordinance that was In
troduced may. in measure, be pre-
nounced a victory for the west-sid-
ers. At once there seemed to be a
general disposition on the part OF
the council to look upon more ex-
plicit ordinance with some favor. Tho
fetures of the ordinance are that
any applicant for a license shall OBJ
tain the signatures of majority Of
the property owners in the block, on
both sides of the street; that any ap-
plication for license shall lay be-
fore the council for two weeks; that
at least four councilmen must vote
in favor of it; and that no transfer
shall be granted without the consent
of the council, and payment OF fee
of $40, together with a new bond
for the assignee.
