AMEND COMPLAINT
IN .BORCHER
CASE
And Served it on Members of
City Council at Meeting on
Tuesday Evening.

At the meeting of the East Grand
Forks council held Tuesday evening,
an amended complaint in the case of
Borchers VS.. Jarvis was served on the
aldermen. The amended complaint
diners in several instances from the
original complaint filed against Jar
Wis. who Is at present holding a seat
on the council as the alderman from
the ward. The action is
brought to GUST Jarvis. and in the
complaint it is alleged that instead
of being tie vote, Borchers actually
received majority of one vote, it
being claimed that the ballots show
the vote to be 80 to 90. The council
was asked to fix date for hearing
OF the case, and at a meeting next
Tuesdays evening, further action will
be taken.
At the meeting last evening, the
music ordinance in saloons was voted
down. The ordinance relating to the
digging up of streets was passed by
the council.
The light proposition was dis
cussed at some length. The purchas-
ing committee was authorized to pur-
chase tools necessary to put the cleo
trio light wires in good shape. The
Roycraft proposition was discussed,
but no action taken.
Chief of Fire Department Paddy
Sullivan made report which is quite
interesting 1t follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council:
At the fire at Buckley's building
there we're six firemen in attendance.
At the city hall fire there were eight
firemen present. You will note in all
the papers the firemen get all the
blame for not putting out the fire.
How are we going to put out fires
without water? You get the west
side firemen over here and they can't
do any more than we do. You will
notice after they come there isn't
anything else to burn and still you
will send for them and pay them $3.50
to 5000 for each fire. Buy us some
thing to work with and the chances
are we will save the lot anyway.
Get us something to work with. We
never did have anything to put out
fire with. Some of the would-be tax
payers blamed us for not having hose
on the wagon the night of the city hall
fire. l might explain that we used
all of the hose we had at Buckeyes
fire. 1t was all wet and frozen and
we had to hang it up and let 1t dry.
II some of these men will call on me
will devote few minutes to pound,
ing some of these points into their
thick heads.
p. J. Sullivan. Chief.
