Is Accepted BY City Council
and George Neale Chosen As
SucceSSor-The City Faith
ers Hold important Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the
council was held in the city hall last
evening and several matters Of i'm
portance were taken up and disposed
of. A petition was presented asking
unaI an ordnance De passed CLOSING
saloons on Sundays; the resignation
of City Attorney Merritt was accept
ed; and the matter of what was con-
sidered exorbitant assessments on
property in Upper Tombstone Can
yon adjusted satisfactorily.
The meeting was called to order
shortly after o'clock by Mayor
Cayen, Councilmen Morris, SAattuck,
Deyine, Haines and Hughes answer
ing the roll call. The clerk read the
minutes of the preceding regular
and special meetings, which were APP
proved.
The city marshal, physician, street
commissioner, sanitary inspector and
engineer and the various standing
committees OF the council then made
their reports, which contained nothing
out of the ordinary. The finance
committee audited and allowed all
bills against the city.
Street Superintendent P. ]. McCul-
l cough then asked the council to take
some action in regard to the remov-
al of several houses in Tombstone
| Canyon in the vicinity of Castle Rock,
which lie in the proposed path OF the
proposed new highway. This was re-
] ferred to the street committee for ac-
| ton. Arc lights were ordered install,
ed at different places in the city.
| Rev. Mr.. Fry then presented a petit
| ton to the council signed by large
number of citizens asking that the sa-
looms be closed on Sundays. The pc
tition gave rise to considerable dis
| cussion, several of the councilmen
taking the position that such meas.
ure was premature at the present
| time in Bisbee. The petition was
| tabled
| At this point City Attorney Merritt

come to his knowledge that some of
| the councilmen desired his resleua

stand in the way of the city legis-
latiYe body and therefore rendered

and placed on file. George II. Neale,

rcinted to the Office.

and brought to the attention of inc
council the claim that the assess
ments on their property as returned
| by tie city assessor were far out OF
proportion to those returned by the
county officer, and that the tatmer
was exorbitant. This was a matter
| that properly should have come be
fore the council when it sat as board
of equalization some time ago, but in
view of the fact that the assessments
were apparently too high, the council
consented to lower the valuations

Several other matters Of minor i'm.

The deceased has a mother and sis

in Amorilla, Texas, and another sis

The fact that the body was not
found by Constable GRAY of Lowell
precinct and Ralph Erickson, when
they searched for the missing man on
Monday was probably due to the fact
that the boy had only a general idea
of the direction from which the report
of the shot came, and the body was al
most hidden in the brush.
