Gilman Baker. Mr.. Staley was elect
ed mayor pro tenn, and held down
his old job as the city's chief execu-
tive till the arrival of Mayor Gray,
who came in on the o. r. & N. train.
The committees and officers reported
the condition and progress of affairs
on streets, water system, and other of
the city's business affairs.
A representative of the Electrical
Fire Alarm Co. was present and made
the council proposition for installing
a system of fire alarms in Pullman,
the town to be covered with the sys-
TEN for 1896. so, or a system to be in
stalled and rented to the city at rate
of $l.50 per month for each alarm sta
tion installed, there to be not less than
twelve such stations. The committee
on fire and water will investigate.
The ordinance providing for IL
cense to be paid by all plumbers was
indefinitely postponed.
Ordinances 142 and 143. the former
u0iIIllllS Vic CIlIlG VI ASSAULT, anu IIlc
latter the crime of assault and bat
terry, and providing a maximum fine
of $50 in each case. were introduced
and passed. >
The application of Carisch Bros.
for renewal of saloon license was
granted, all members present voting in
favor of the license except Fulmer
and Duthie.
No protests having been filed against
the proposed macadamizing of East
Main street, a special committee was
provided to make all necessary pro-
visions for the work. The mayor has
since appointed Councilmen Lanning,
Staley and Baker as the special ma
cadamizing committee.
The streets and highways committee
reported that the railroads had granted
the city the right to lay a sewer line
along the right of way. and the COM
mittee was authorized to proceed with
the construction of the sewer from the
city park district to connect with the
present sewer on Grand street near the
0. R. & N. depot. The same com
mittee will also have the manhole
raised, and 16-inch sewer laid below
the manhole before the fill is made at
the Grand street bridges. The large
sewer will only be laid across the strip
to be filled in at present, but will be
increased to the 16-inch pipe to the
outlet later on.
A delegation Of about a dozen gen
tlemen from Military Hill waited up
on the council. protesting against the
actions of Miss Ethel Evans, who has
gained considerable unfavorable news
paper mention of late, and asking that
the city authorities take some means
of protecting the people of their por-
tion of the city from further insult
and annoyance from the girl. The city
attorney entered into an extended dis
cussion of what the municipality could
not do in the matter, and the mayor
assured the visiting delegation that
everything possible would be done.
Attorney Kimball said it was the pro-
vince of the county authorities to
meet the eXigencies of the case, and
that it would be absurd for the city to
| try to even enact a new ordinance to
cover features that were already COW
cred by the state law The delegation
was advised to make complaint direct
to the county prosecuting attorney.
