For .everal months. in fac. ever
since shortly after the incorporation
of Ely, there has been more or less
friction between the city and county
governments. The city council has
been holding meetings in the court
room, paying the county nominal
rental, So for wood and janitor's ser
vices and one-third of the electric
light bills.
For about three months there have
been disputes until II became evil
dent that the city officials would soon
have to get out. II was then planned
to erect city building which would
entirely eliminate the necessity of the
use of the court house or county Jail.
The final break came only, however,
when the city officials brought suit
against the county for recovery of
one-half the liquor licenses collected
in Ely last year The commissioners
have since. II is stated. declared un-
officially that they will force the city

anyone tries to steal little juice

For some time the electrical COM
pany and the water company have
had trouble with people who, with

presented to the council.
According to its provisions anyone

COUNCIL TAKES ACTION
ON MATTERS OF GRAVITY
Contract With County for Attention to City Indeg-
ents VOded-- Garbag, Disposal Discussed
Drainage Looked Into

The council meeting ADJOURNED
from Tuesday was held last evening.
all the members being present and
Mayor Clark presiding. Matters of
more or less Importance were dis
cussed Among these was the sewer
age and garbage disposal proposition.
The contract for excavation of the
basement 10 the new city building
was also let.
Following the call to order the
minutes of the two previous meetings
were read and approved.
The question of garbage disposal
came up. The fact that there were
no bids for the garbage contract was
discovered although they had been
called for. Animated discussion fol-
lowed. Councilman Root stated that
it was foolish to expect bids as the
concession was not one of great
value. He insisted that someone
should be appointed the sole carrier
of garbage for Ely and a scale of
charges be fixed Carbon agreed
with him. 1t was decided that the
matter should be left in allegiance for
lllt IItStH1. nan dShtd II Il
ing ground on which city refuse
could be placed had been secured.
Root replied that one had been
found but it was not known whether
it could be utilized as Mr.. Pearce,
owner of the ground, is not at pres
ent in Ely. but is expected to arrive
shortly when IL will be referred 10
him. Although the matter was dis
cussed further. no conclusion WAS
reached.
Hall brought up the subject of
taking care of the water which az
eyitahly comes wn the canyons
with the sprin avs and heavy
rains by asking he alley back of
Aultman street G I not he cleaned
and excavated so / II would carry
it. He pointed c he fact that the
streets were foo, and much dam
age done two ago when the
sudden thaw aftt heavy snowfall
came. The alley almost filed al
certain places wi lf.h and refuse.
Carbon argued fume which
could handle a water and If
made from the p, er wood, cedar
or fir. would last Tor many years.
1t had been suggested. ne said. to
turn the water into Murry creek
above the main portion of the town,
but this would cause the creek bed
to carry more water than IL could ac-
commodate at that point and would
lay the city liable for damages f'he
matter was referred 10 the street
committee with power 10 act.
Hall stated thar many OF the planks
in board walks on Murry street were
broken and should be repaired at
once. Carbon offered resolution
giving power to the street commit-
tee to make such repairs as they
found necessary without first briug-
ing the matter to the attention of the
council. This was passed.
An ordinance imposing heavy fines
for stealing electricity or water was
offered and passed its first reading.

Fashionable bridesmaids.

Then there is the question OF
bridesmaids. Rita had begun by say
ing that that, at least, is simple-she
will have no one but her two dearest
friends, Dorothy and Nellie: but when
her mother pointed out the propriety
of adding Bob's two sisters to the
list, she had yielded. Dorothy and
Nellie are both blondes and favor
light green dresses, but Bob's two
sisters are of a sallow complexion,
and refuse, with that passionate acer-
bity which even the most amiable
women will show when their personal
appearance is at stake, to be seen
alive or dead in green. A compro-
mise is finally effected in pink; and
Dorothy, who has already been a
bridesmaid fifteen times, and can
hardly drag herself through the cere-
mony, and Nellie, who is not rich In
this worlds goods, and If she affords
any dress wants warm, plain cloth
and not pink chiffon, and Bob's two
sisters who are still grimly aware of
not looking their best-all four pre-
cede Rita up the aisle in varying
stages of depression. - Harper's
