Regular Meeting Adjusts City Licenses as They Affect
 Restaurant Keepers.

 MUST BE CAREFUL.
Youths Who Are Celebrating Fourth of July in Advance Will Be Hauled Up by the City Marshal and Fined.

The restaurateurs convened in a body at last nights meeting of the City Council and roared. roared because their quarterly license had been rais- ed from S30 to S100. And they won out. It was shown that the extreme raise in the license to be imposed un- der the new city ordinance was due to an error which had been overlooked at the time when the Council was leg, islating for a greater revenue. No discrimination was intended, and as an evidence of the good faith of the council the sections dealing with the restaurant license was so amended that the restaurants will now be oblig, ed to pay but $50 quarter for houses doing a business of $15,000 a quarter while those whose receipts do not reach the S15,000 mark will be called upon to pay but s20 a quarter.
 Billy Truax, W. H. Givens and Otto Giesenhofer all spoke on the injustice that would be wrought were the Ii cense allowed to stand as passed. The amendments met with the concurrence of the entire council.
 The omnipresent forerunner of the glorious Fourth-the small boy with the firecracker-will be eliminated from Bisbee's history of the time in tervening between now and the Fourth of July. The city marshal and the Council have so decreed, and so it must be. Parents who are the proud possessors of youths of a mischievous age had best watch out" lest their coming merchants and statesmen be lodged over night in the city bastile. The edict has gone forth. It must be obeyed. It will be enforced.
 There was an endeavor made on the part of some of those present to pass a special ordinance which would pre- clude the sale of pyrotechnics, but the individuality, as well as the unconsti- nationality of this measure killed it.
 The Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Co. submitted the lowest bid for feed supplies for the city barn. They were closely followed by the h. dependent Fuel Co. and the Buxton Smith Co.
 The bid of Contractor Brown, who paved such streets of the city as are already finished, was accepted for O. K. street, and the work will be start ed at the earliest possible moment.
 The City Clerk was ordered to ad- vertise for bids for the laying of an eight-foot sidewalk about the plaza in front of the Copper Queen general of fees, this strip having been deeded to the city.
 Advertisements for bids on the sew. CT bonds were also ordered, all former bids having been rejected or with drawn.
 The matter of the recent purchase of fire hose went to the table until an other meeting.
 The proposition of the Bisbee Plumb, ing Co. to furnish electric lights and fittings for the new city hall was re ferred to the building committee with a recommendation to have the worl completed at once.
 The new city hall building has beer practically accepted, it remaining only I for the building committee to formal ly accept the structure. This is 2 mere matter of form, and is put owe owing to the absence from the city oi Architect Hurst, who has already pass ed informally on the proposition. The E. B. Mason Co. will hereafter do the horseshoeing for the city, theil
 bid being the only one submitted ant showing a lower cost to the city thar 1t has heretofore been called upon tt pay
