DR.. Reading moved that the sewer on
Courtland St. be extended 100 feet west to
accommodate a. house being built by Mr..
Henderson.
Mr.. Cattell said Courtland st. was o 10
foot alley, and not owned by the city.
THE motion was carried by vote Of to l.,
Mr.. Cattell voting no.
Mr.. Reading stated this was the meeting
at which we elect water superintendent,
and moved that we go into an election of
that officer.
Mr.. Cattell opposed because it was con-
trary to Law for one Council TO elect officers
to serve the next. The motion was carried,
and Dr. Reading said it gave him great
pleasure TO nominate for that Office Mr..
Samuel E. Wilmer. Mr.. Wilmer received
7 votes, and Presidents Kugler declared him
selected for the year 1907.
Mr. Pancoast presented two sealed bids
for the new municipal meeting.
MI. .Cattell said in fairness to the bidders,
| he proposed to show that this building
lcould not be built. He then had the Clerk
Tread resolutions by Friendship Fire Comp
Iany and Council showing that Council
placed the Fire House property in charge
of Friendship Fire Company And he
claimed the Fire Company's consent had
not been obtained.
! Mr.. Pancoast said Friendship Fire Com
any had not objected to the building, and
moved to open the bids.
/ Dr. Reading said the city had right to
add TO that building SO long as they did
mot affect the tenacy of the Fire Company;
Mr. Person, who has heretofore opposed
the proposition, said the reading of the res
olution, which said the city reserved the
control of the property, enabled him to
favor the plan. 90
Mr.. Cattell made an impassioned speech
4 in which he reviewed the extravaganza of
Council the past year.
4 On motion Of Mr.. Pancoast the bids
were ordered opened.
The bid of G. M. Garrett was $19S7, to
hold good for 80 days.

tract to the lowest bidders. Carried. Mr..
CatteI and Mr.. Burkett voted no. o
i C. R. Peddle was elected architect Of the
new building.
i The financial institutions of the city,
which hold the sewer notes that are due
December Is, informed council that if it
desired to renew the votes the interest rate
will be per cent instead Of a, as charged
up to this time.
The City Treasurer asked authority to
have the loans made call loans, because
J he Thought in the spring the bonds would
sell at A per cent interest; he also asked
J authority to reduce the note held by the
Trust Company $13, 7s6 SO, the amount re-
ceived on sewer assessments Carried.
By separate motions the batch Of sewer
