The question OF buying pound
caused considerable discussion. The
council we're divided In the matter,
part of them thinking that the pound
sites which were offered made quite
large expenditure for the city, which
1t would be advisable to avoid, II pos
sible The two lots and harn offered
by G. ID. Woodworth for $1,000 was
considered the best proposition, as
there was barn on the place worth
half that amount, while the property
could be disposed OF at any time for
as much OF more than 1t cost, and q
barn would be necessary. 1t also ap-
peared that part OF the barn could be
rented for about S6 month. 1t was
also deemed advisable to raise the
pound fees so there would be no loss
in feeding impounded stock, and also
tend to lessen the number OF stock
running at large. One factor was con-
sidered which had bearing In buy
ing the sita, and that was the fact
that no one at present wanted to take
care of stock, and the Hartley corall
was too close to the business portion
to be used for that purpose. BY a
vote of one majority the lots we're or.
deIed purchased.
