4 q low Who WAS promoted,

No more municipal history will be
made by the city council during the.
present year at least in regular ses-.
sion, as the last meeting of the year
passed into history Last night with adj.
journnent. H
There was nothing tho least bit eS-i
citing about, the meeting Of last night,
and the thought apparently nppcrinost
! in the mind of every member present,
was to get it over with" as soon as
possible. There was nothing more ex-
citing before the body than the con-
stdesratlon Of the milk licenses. al
though up till the time Of meeting 1t
was supposed that Councilman Fern
strom had in contemplation the recall
of IL resolution, tabled q long time
5 since. providing for an Investigation
OF the mystery surrounding the dis,
appearance OF the tiremans fund. Tho
demand for tho recall Of the resolution
was not Forthcoming, although it is
understood that the first regular meet
ing of the new year will witness its
appearance
n. j. ARMSTRONG APPOINTED.
.S8 The narne OF n. :. Armstrong WAS
submitted by Mayor Bransford to fiji
the vacancy in the board OF public
works created by the withdrawal of
present Chief OF Police Barlow The
appointment Of the mayor was con-
CURED in by the council, and Mr..
Armstrong duly appointed to the posi-
5tion.
Under 4 perfect volley Of protests
from the milk dealers. both wholesale
and retail. an ordinance cutting down
their license fees had been prepared,
and under suspended rules was hur-
5ried through its three readings and de-
claIed spread upon the statutes of the
city. BY this ordinance the fees
charged milk dealers are reduced from
So to 81 for those known as Mholesal-
ers, that ls. those who sell five gallons
q day or less, and the retailers VIII
pay 81 30 for the sale Of less than five
gallons. Tho old ordinance called for
the same license fec from both retailer
and wholesaler.
DIFFERENT PROTECTION.
When the ordinance providing for
the quality OF standard OF milk. butter
and cream offered for sale was brought
up, Councilman John Holly protested
earnestly against its passage, Withuot
naming anything that seemed ~ pc
radically wrong with the measure pro-
posed Everyone wanted to go nome
anyway, and no concerted effort was
therefore made to push the passage or
the measure, which was laid over for
further action at the next regular
meeting.
Max A. .Jaenscll applied YEARLY for
a.:liouorl license, having applied many
times before, and the action OF the
council contained nothing new5o novel
ms 1t turned down the application as OF
yore.
II was believed by many that tho
example set by property owners OF
Fourth East and Sixth East. in protest
ing against the parking system on
paving those thoroughfares, would be
followed by those of Seventh East, but
twas not, and there We're no protests
THOSE EXCAVATIONS
The ORDINANCE for which i. D. Mar
lin Is responsible, which prohibits the
excavations of buildings approaching
The curb line more nearly than four
feet and which also prohibits excava-
$tions under the intersections OF streets,
passed its final reading, and be-
raillc q law. Under its provisions, be-
fore a cellar may be excarated, or
any underground work done in build
Ing operations, afterwards, q permit
must De Onlilleut
The ordinance. however, does not car
ry with ii the right on the part OF the
city to charge q real estate rental for
space occupied beneath the surface
bf the ground, as was proposed should
be the policy of the government some
weeks ago. Mr.. Martin generously Sttl-a
mitted that the merchant was at pres
ant paying taxes on about everything
In sight, and that + would be unjust
10 try to dig up something new TO
charge him for. 1t has been intiinated
In other circles that the only reason
this underground rental, or tax wsls
not made part of the ordinance. wa s.
pwing to the fact that legal advice
was to the effect that there was no
method, short of tho Rocky Mountain
system, whereby | \ could be collected
,rha council adjourned TIL tomorrow
night. instead OF Thursday night, for
the consideration of matters In the
hands of the committees.
