Three ordinances were introduced,
read and discussed, and finally under
suspension of the rules passed, which
are intended to improve the sanitary
conditions of the city. They require
the abating of all privies, sewers,
sinks, etc., on the sewer lines that do
not connect Herewith, and affix penal
ties. These things are declared null
sances, and the city marshal is re-
uuired to have them abated.
The council members expressed
themselves as determined to have
these ordinances enforced, even if it
involves the city in law suits. If
those in violation of these regulations
wish to contest the law the city dads
say they are ready for the fight, and
that to make such contest it is going
to cost the unruly property owner
money.
An ordinance was introduced look
ing to the prevention of loafing, loiter-
ing, smoking, ETC., on stairways. This
ordinance was tabled.

tigate into the differences of the city

ported that the trouble between these
officers grew out of ignorance of their
duties on the part of both officers.
recommendations were made, and
the committee was discharged.
The matter of the contract to feed
the city prisoners came up for discus
sion, and the proposition was passed
up to the police committee, to report
back to the council at the next regu-
far meeting 1880
The question of salaries was dis
cussed The mayor stated he would
continue to have warrants drawn on
street and bridge fund for the street
supervisor until he was convinced he
was wrong; also that salaries for
other officers would continue to be
drawn on the general fund, as has
been the custom.
The bill of a paving company was
allowed for S43.45, for building side
walk on Magnolia street, in front of
the Potts property, this amount to be
taxed against the property.
