Bessemer, November 1.-(Speeial. )-The City Council held a special session at the city hall this evening and waded into the license schedule, and after they finished it looked as though 1t had been struck By a sandstorm. Before they en- tered into the matter of licenses for the year 1908 they took up a few matters that had been left over at the last meeting. The telephones in the city engineer s office will be cut out. the Bell telephone in the fire department will be cut out, the salary of the fremen. which was ad- vanced when the present council went into office, will be put back where it formerly was. There will be no phones placed in the residences of the firemen The horse shoeing bill proposition will also be looked into as it seems that the bills each month for keeping the city's stock shod is too large
 Three street foremen were cut from S.75 per day to $l.5O per day. The salary of c. D. Minega, assistant street fore man, was cut from s60 per month to $50 per month. The teams that the city had been using that belong to Alderman Ross were ordered put out of service
 The question of raising the street tax from $3 to B was not decided and will come up at the next regular meeting of council.
