Mr.. Derby, in closing called the
councils attention to the cost OF the
work in his office. During the year
ending April ] the work has cost ST.
500. as against s1,S45 in 1903. and ST.
2S6 in 1902. For the greater amount
Of business done now over preceding
years the showing made is a good one.
For every $1,000 collected in the clerks
office the cost has been $3.50.
Other Reports.
The report of City Treasurer Gerhart
over $4,000, which, with the $4,000
that may be drawn from the county

Not a Death from Contagious Disease.
The report of the health and SANTA
tion committee was in reality a report
of M Clark, deputy marshal, who has
charge of the work of the committee.
During the year just closed there has
been but little contagious disease Oh
any kind in the city, and there has
not been a single death from conta-
gious disease during the year ending
March 81.
All of the committees Of the council
filed their annual reports with the ex-
certion of claims and accounts.
The special viaduct committee rec
commended that the Center street site
be abandoned, and Third street
adopted in it's stead, and that the new
committee take the matter up at an
early date. Mayor Ingledue will name
a new yiaduct committee in the near
future.
Deathbed Resolutions.
AS dissolution was about to take
place the council made three deathbed
resolutions. Like the man who was SO
contrary that he kicked because he
was going to die, Councilman Sieg
laughingly opposed the resolution by
Mr.. Iseman, calling for the drawing
Of warrants from the general fund to
pay the members of the council for the
year just closed. All members voted
aye with the exception of Mr.. Sieg.
Another resolution by Mr.. lseman
called for the payment from general
fund warrants for members of the
election and registry boards serving
at the recent city election. Mr.. Psen-
icka moved that the amount be fixed
at So per day, and City Solicitor Bur-
rift was appealed to when a question
as to price was raised by tMr. Sieg.
The ordinance calls for $3.50 per day,
and Mr.. Burritt interprets the law as
referring to calendar days, sunrise to
sunrise. Mayor Ingledue declared the
Psenieka motion out Of order, and the
resolution was adopted by a unanimous
vote, with the price $3.50.
A third resolution, by Mr.. Clark, just
before the final struggle was over,
called for payment by warrant from
the water works fund, of $222.76, one
half of the cost of making the observa-
lions at the test wells, as ordered by
the district court. This was also
adopted by unanimous vote.
City Water Has Been Good.
At the last meeting Of the old board
Of health report of N. w. Getz, re-
firing city physician, was made, in
which he declared the city water to
have been good at all times during the
past year. DR.. Getz again condemned
shallow wells, and there is not one in
the city but what he terms as bad.
Some of the deep wells are good, but
not ALL according to the report.
