City Council Going to Concentrate This
Years Fourth Of July Celebration
into One Grand Noise--0ther
DOings of the Council.

The 1safeand sane Fourth" idea hit
the city council at u regular meeting
last night, and Young America was tied
up in bundle Of restrictions, which,
ii religiously observed, will assure the
peace and quiet OF this burg until six
O'clock on the might before and re.
sumed at midnight % the might AFTER
Il was tie consensus oi opinion that tbs
city had allowed too wide latitude
TO the ceiebrators heretofore, and 80 tho
noise will be concentrated into one big
noise Moreover, the sale oT celebrating
material is forbidden until four o'clock
in the afternoon OF the third. Those
who wish to sell the stud must make
application to the city clerk.
There was some talk Of prohibiting the
sale oil toy pistols, as in the past few
years; hut no action was taken, although
the toy pistol, if it had been living,
feeling thing, would have biushed at the
harsh things said about it. The police
committee will issue instructions to the
police To see that the above regulations
are recognized by the celehrators. Fourth
of July coming this year on Saturday
and the following day naturally being
Sunday, it is taken for granted that
the big noise will have subsided before
that time.

were ordered paid last night, and IN

Assistant Assessor Ansireaui were paid.

been washed ont about the spilIway,
thus lowering the water level from two
Is three feet, be repaired, saving that
.he capacity Of the reservoir would thus
De increased 10000 gallons over the
present capacity. The cost will be $50
IL $40.
Mr.. Reed also notified the council that
he Orange brook reservoir ~ leaking
.he same as usual, the drain not being
noticeable now, but ii would constitute
! big stream for dry times He also
