pointments were confirmed.
Mayor Taylor said that he had in
structed the chief of police to take up all
teams that are found on the street not
tied. He called attention to the run
away yesterday afternoon, and said
that it was a miracle that two ladies
were not killed While flies are bad and
automobiles numerous there is danger
of runaways that will endanger the
lives of people who are driving.
George Scharf applied for the privilege
of conducting moving pictures and illus
trated songs at l26 Jackson street for
one year. The aldermen were in doubt
as to how much license to charge and
the matter was referred to the commit
tee on licenses with power to act.
c. W. Wittemore & Co. applied for
an auctioneer's license for six months.
to auction off H. c. Hance's goods. This
was granted, and the bond was approx
ed, with III. Z. Hance and Otto Hoerr as

Aid. WilmOt, for the committee on
health, said that it had tried to find
location for an animal burying ground
but had failed.
Aid. Mahowald said that Adam Jeffer-
son will sell two acres or more for $l25
an acre. The old ground is located there.
Aid. Heinze suggested three locations
that he had heard of, the Lamm brick
yard, the junction of the Blue Earth
and Minnesota rivers in L'Huillier, and
on the west bank of the Blue Earth
river, opposite the cement works. He
spoke of the slovenly manner in which
some of the people who bury animals do
their work. He thought that some one
person ought to have charge of the
ground. The time would come before
many years when a crematory would
be needed. 1t might be cheaper to have
one now.
AID. Atchison said that the lowest
price for crematory is $4,000, and
trouble is had with them. Minneapo-
lis has had trouble with its crematory.
The council took up the matter of
fixing the license fee for the moving
picture shows, and it was voted to fix
it at $50 year. The applications of
Georfe Scharf and MoOrs. Breslauer &
Co. were granted.
The question of licenses for takers
was talked over, and DIR. f. L. Schmauss
urged that the fee ought to be high.
AID. Hampl said that Contractor
Wlndmiller was down $50 feet with the
new city well Thursday, but that sand
filled it up so that yesterday he
was down but $50 feet. He wants $500
on the contract price.
