Petitions For Lights.
Regular monthly meeting Of the
city council held last evening showed
the following present: Mayor Blew
ett. Aldermen Kavanagh, Pearson,
Seller, Blake, Koehn, Kelley, Or
lady. A oseDt Alderman Murphy.
Communication was received from
Rev. Morrison regarding the camp
meeting and an opinion was rem
dered regarding the uses to which
the Klaus park can be devoted, under
the contract with the representatives
of the Anton Klaus estate, the opin-
ion being by City Attorney Wilder.
THIS was, in effect that the use of
the park for any purpose except that
for which public park is devoted,
would be breech of the terms of
contract. Mayor Blewett stated that
a conference had been held with Mr..
Klaus in which it was agreed that
the camp meeting association could
hold it's meeting this year. In the
park but after this year such ar
rangement was to be discontinued.
Rev. Morrison stated that the asso-
citation would like to have another
suitable place provided for camp
meeting purposes. That the meet
ings drew a large number Of people
to the city, were a..good thing to hold
in the city, that other towns we're
anxious TO get this meeting, and he
trusted that the council would pro-
vide a suitabl place after.this year,
and expressed gratitude to the auth
critics for permitting the holding
of the meetings 10 the park..this..year.
Provided the Objectionable features
OF the fair ground park we're re-
moved, that place would be good
location, ..a]so the NicKeus park
would be a good place, but as grass
is just being started this year it
would probably damage the ground.
A special policeman will be appoint
ed to see that teams .and stock as
well as can pers are not allowed to
injure trees and destroy the natural
advantages of the Klaus park. The
mayor and council assured Rev. Nor
rison that some suitable place would
be provided for the camp meeting
next year.
The designations of J. f.. McElroy
and S. E. Wilder as members .of the
special assessment committee we're
received and accepted.
