New Street Lighting System.
A resolution was passed to prohibit
the sale of w. A. Benefits property
for 1907 and 1908 taxes. The road
taxes of C. E. Fuller for the past two
years were recommended abated.
Upon the motion of Councilman
Cainpfeld the light committee was or
dered TO look over the correspondence
received by the mayor in regard to a
new system of street lighting and to
make a report and recommendations
to the council at the next meeting.
Board Of Health Rules.
Owing to the fact that the state
board of health has adopted new rules
which have never been enforced by
the local board, City Solicitor C. c.
oryis recommended that some action
be taken In regard to the matter, as il
is mandatory upon the local board or
health to adopt rules offered by the
state board. These rules, when adopt
ed, must be published before en-
forced and as the expense of public.
alton is considerable, it is thought to
be advisable that all of the twenty OF
more county boards should adopt them
at once and have the rules published
jointly. The clerk was ordered to
write to the various township clerks
in regard to the matter.
Some New Paving.
Councilman Pickett introduced the
matter OF ordering a number of blocks
of new paving, but as the condition OF
some of the property owners was moi
known. it was decided to look into the
matter more thoroughly before pass
ing the resolution and a special meet
ing has been called for next Thursday
night to take up the matter. Tho
recommendation made by Mr.. Pickett
was for the paving of Second avenue
from First street west to the west
side of ID street, the alley running
north and south Just west of the La

and A avenues on North A street. If
the resolution is passed a date will be
set for hearing protests and the paw.

WOMAN IN CIVIC LIFE.

We have thus far refrained from

federation of womans clubs in this
city: because-really-w didn't

men we co Id have found the most
mplimentary terms in which to pro-
nounce the valedictory on the con-
vention. For instance. that not a
single delegate had drank-too much,
and their behavior was remarkably
creditable: but unfortunately the la
dies would not accept such a refer
ence as at all complimentary. and so
We regarded them in awed silence,
and let them depart. while We pom

They are taxing up in a practical
manner what men speak of in rhap-
sodical terms when moved by great
emotion. The women are interesting
themselves in the delicate details of

course of masculine civilization: the
esthetic things of life, the blending
of social conditions, the Frightening

the forcing on men in authority the

there is another side to the situation.
Coincldentally with this feminine
