other lots where the snow has not been
cleaned off.
The board of public works reported
the bids received for laying the sewer on
North Broad street to Franklin street,
and the award of the contract to Alex
Bashaw, the lowest bidder. The council
voted to approve the contract Mr..
Bashaw is getting surety bond and it
will be presented at the next meeting of
the council, so Aid, Hampl stated.
The annual report of the librarian was
received, accepted and placed on file.
Aid. Atchison referred to two bills for
furnishing water to the Y. NJ. c. A. and
st. Joseph's hospital buildings. He said
that another hospital is going up. There
is no reason why every other institution
should not ask for free water. lie
thought that the time had come to make
a change, and he suggested that the two
institutions be given rebate of fifty per
cent instead of a free gift of the water.
Aid. Schroeder favored the suggestion,
and thought that all should be treated
lalike. A rate should be established after
this.
AID. Hampl favored this idea and
thought that now is the time to make
the change, beginning with the first OF
this year. He moved that hereafter the
city pay half of these water bills. He
withdrew this, and Aid. Atchison moved
that the bills for the past year be paid.
This was carried.
! Aid Schroeder moved that hereafter
the council do not pay more than one
half of the water rent for any hospitals
or public buildings. This was carried.
The bills were allowed, including the
following: National Meter Co., meters
sold in 1905, $l,3772O; pay roll. $lS0.O7,
including $l27.l7 on streets; water for
~. NJ. c.. A. building for 1905, $lO2.s5 f;
Coughan Cement Construction Co.,
walks, $l6S.GO; st. Josephs hospital,
water for elevator and house, 1905,
$922s; overdraft in forage appropriation
for the fire station. S37 25. Recorder Ho-
dapp requested that the latter system be
! discontinued and that the committee
pass on the bills.
| City Engineer Thompson reported hav-
ing granted the following building per-
mits: DIR. j. H. James, repairs to his
dwelling, $1,000; Mrs. Grace Fox, frame
dwelling on lot 6, block 3, Warren's ad-
dition, $1,000.
| Mayor Taylor called attention to the
convention of the Municipal League of
Cities, to be held in st. Paul Jan. 9th
10th and 18th, and said that some valu-
aOle papers are to be read and suggested
that as many of the aldermen as posi-
bic should attend.
! Aids. Atchison and Schroeder favored
having the mayor and city engineer at
tend. The former stated that c. n. An
drews is chairman of the committee on
public service and corporations, and will
i represent the board of trade.
City Engineer Thompson suggested
that as the matters of city government
freight rates, etc., are mainly to be con
: sidered, one OF more of the aldermen bs
, sent.
Aid Atkinson thought that the city
2 attorney would be good man to send
and on his motion the council voted tC
appoint Mayor Taylor and City Attor
ney Daley to represent the city there
AID Atchison said that he would prob
ably attend the second day.

to lay all the faults of the organization

l want to say right here that if all
those that are hostile to the Johnny
Bulls would try to uphold wages as they
do, times would be much better. The
writer from Tracy says, Lets go up

about immigration. !" Washington is
dead Let's go over in England and
see how many Johnny Bulls we can
find trying to cut each others throat.

That speaks we'll for the Johnny Bulls.
Instead of trying to down wages they
try to educate themselves to such 6
, point that they can earn better wages
for themselves
