Tho official record of the special
me tting oil the city council held Wed
ncsday night is published everywhere
in this paper. Several quite import
ant matters were given attention at
this meeting 1t appears that the Cen
trail Union Telephone Company has
put up its bond of 5000, that it will
reconstruct it's system in Cairo aud
give coed service. Alderman Nellis
had good resolution requiring that
citizens must provide themselves Win
decent garbage receptacles, But per
haps the most important measure OF
fered was that by the mayor relating
to the laying Of supply pipes for gas or
water, from the mains in the streets to
the lot lines. This ordinance, it would
seem, ought to be passed. II looks
like a grave injustice to citizens to
require that they shall pay for the
supply pipe laid in the streets and h.
responsible for the care Of such pipes.
Several days ago The Bulletin called
attention to this manifest injustice. Il
is safe to say that consumers OF gas
and water generally will sustain the
mayer and city council in their efforts
to relieve them of this burden.

10000 young maple trees, from one
10 two inches in diameter, all ready
to set out Ii was that or nothing, so
the council took the trees. BY public
proclamation the Mayor fixed an
"arbor day" and everybody who
would agree to set them out and care
for them received from six TO ten
trees At that time the town was al
most bare of trees of every kind. Al
most in a day Mr. Boaumonts legal
tender for taxes was in the hands Of
