two members of the park commission
to succeed the members whose terms
of office expired March LIST. DR.. S.

the appointees to hold office till March
LIST. 1910.
The meeting of the council was at
tended by all members except Duthie.
The reports Of the officers were read
and referred to the proper committees.
The water committee recommended
the building of a wall around the res
ervoir which would increase the capa-
city of the reservoir and at the same
time protect the water from dirt. A
three foot extension to the walls will
increase the capacity about 80 per
cent. Bids for the work will be called
for, the estimated expense being from
$700 to 5000.
The streets and highways committee
reported in favor of the vacation of
ten feet on each side of Mckenzie
street, and the vacation will be made,
the interested parties to pay all ex-
penses of the vacation.
The council authorized the mayor to
appoint a special deputy marshal at
$3.50 per day to collect poll and dog
tax. The board of health thought the
city should have general cleaning up
day and the mayor was instructed to
set such day by proclamation.

side of Montgomery street was grant
ed.

Cleland for renewal of licenses for
two pool and one billiard table was
granted, all councilmeh present vot-
ing aye except Fulmer. who voted no.
An ordinance providing for the con-
struction of a six inch sewer on Grand
street was passed, as was also an or
dinance changing the present sign or
dinance SO that electric signs may be
erected. The old ordinance provided
that no sign should be erected that ex-
tended more than three feet from the
building or that was less than ten feet
above the sidewalk. This is changed
so that there is no limit to the dis
tance an electric sign may project from
the building, but other signs are still
confined to the three foot limit, al
though all signs must now be elevated
to height of twelve feet.
