TIMELY TOPICS
ARE CONSIDERED
Municipal Parents Thresh Out Vital
Questions Involving City's
Welfare.

The city council assembled last
night. and talked about the welfare
of the people who live in Wenatchee.
Strange as it may seem the water
question was not monkeyed with;
there were other more interesting
themes for debate.
About Saloons.
A resolution was passed, concern
ing the matter of saloon licenses; it
was decided that hereafter when ap-
plication is made for a new license or
the transfer of an old one, that be-
fore the petition is acted upon it
shall be referred to the proper COM
mittee, which latter shall take week
off and look into the matter.
The saloon license granted to
Prince Atkinson was transferred to
Gilbert, formerly agent for the Seat
tie Brewing & Mailing company, but
who now plans to conduct the COX
ford
To ImnrCye Chelan Avenue.
A resolution was introduced rela-
tive to the improvement of Chelan
avenue, by grading, gravelling, etc.
The section which it is proposed to
make better stretches from the center
line of Spokane street to the center
line Of Second street north
O'Connor Bid $500.
For improving Wenatchee avenue
Jack O'Connor bid 5000. The work
includes the grading of the avenue
from First street north to the limits
The bid was referred to the proper
committee for consideration.
License for Fakirs.
The ordinance introduced some
weeks ago covering clairyOyants, fax
irs, pedlars, ETC., was passed at last
nights session.
Sub-Station for Hose Cart.
Upon the oft repeated suggestion
rof the Chief of the Fire Department,
Terry Ross, the council decided to
secure proper location in the upper
erd of town for establishing a fire
sub-station. Under the present ar
rangement all the fire-fghting ap-
paratus is kept at the headquarters
on Mission street, and when fires
occur on Mob Hill, or anywhere up
on the hill, long, tiresome haul is
nece essary to reach the scene of the
confagration. The establishment of
the sub-station will obviate this diff
ficulty in a measure.
Park Abuses.
Much agitated speech followed the
Introduction of park abuses.
The council seemed pretty well in
formed as to the nature of the abuses
of the park, and arrangements were
made for abating the current nuis-
ances as far as possible. New lights
will be put in soon, and an effort
will be made to stop thoughtleSs peO-
pie from pulling flowers, breaking
trees, scattering paper, and otherwise
misusing the public's pleasure place.
Must Fix 1t.
The Street Commissioner was re-
quested to notify the Republic" to
beautify the hole in the ground on
Mission street where it once contem-
plated the erection of towering
structure. 1t was requested that the
repaired
