From Tuesdays Daily Post.
The regular monthly meeting of
the town council was held last
evening being called at the coun
Gil chambers, but adjournment be-
ing taken to Dougan' S hall be-
cause of the lack of heat in the
lower part of the building
The usual monthly reports of
officers We're presented and ap-
proved. The marshal's report
showed fines collected for the
month amounting to $11o. The
town treasurer's report showed
balance in the bank of $4.159.45.
About the usual number of
bills were presented and ordered
paid.
William Dougan having given
notice of his withdrawal from the
plumbing bond of c. T. Roach the
said bond was ordered cancelled.
Fifteen liquor bonds, each with
one principal and two sureties
were read and approved. After
this action was taken one of the
council raised the question as to
whether bondsman who was not
real estate owner should be ac-
cepted on these town bonds. This
had reference to George Edinger,
who had signed some of the bonds.
Some one remarked that tax
dodger should not be accepted as
bondsman by the town, but
further than this no action was
taken.
Town Clerk Keck presented
request from William Dougan
that he be allowed to build plat
form or porch from the second
floor of his store building across
the alley. 1t was stated that this
was for the convenience of his
tenants who at present had no
conveniences for drying their
laundry. 1t was suggested that
a stairway should be built to the
top of the building and the
clothes dried on the roof as in
large cities. After IA resort to the
ordinances it was decided that the
council had no power to grant
such request and should they do
so it would be invalid should any
citizen make objection.
II. G. Overlook called the at
tention of the board to some OF
the work of the publicity bureau
last summer. 1t was an ably writ
ten and well-illustrated article
appearing in publication called
Perfect Sanitation and describing
at length Glenwood Springs and
her famous baths. The article was
printed without cost to the town.
Mr.. Overlook at this time
brought up the question of furth-
er publicity for the town and call
ed the attention of the members
to the fact that the supply of ad-
vertising booklets had been eX-
hausted and that more were need
ed for the coming summer.
C. NJ. Keck suggested that
(ilenwood and Grand Junction
unite on plan of advertising to
be used in connection with the
coming national democratic con
yeption to be held in Denver and
stated that he had already taken
the matter up with the Grand
junction chamber of commerce.
Then came the matter of a pub
lie building to be used as town
hall. council chambers, magis-
trate's office and gymnasium.
Architect Rosenberg presented
plans for building 5Ox1OO, two
stories and basement, which the
trustees believe is admirably
adapted to the needs of the town
and its citizens.
The estimated cost according to
Mr. Rosenberg's figures is about
$4,000. This, of course, does not
incl lude the cost of the lots. The
committee appointed for that pur-
nose recommends the two lots on
the corner of Ninth and Grand
avenue and the committee was
authorized to secure the best
price possible on these two lots.
