Services the 4th
The city council met in regular
monthly session at the city hall Mon
day evening, all members being
present, and besides allowing the usual
quota of bills, passed on several matters
of Importance s5.s
Among the first of the business to be
disposed of was the question as to
whether the council would set aside
$75 this year, as customary, to secure
the services Of the band for July 4th.
a strong plea was made by r. F.
M urphy of the Fourth of July commit
tee that the council consider the
patriotic side of this question and set
aside the stated amount for this pur-
pose. Seeing that the council did not
seem disposed to grant the request Mr..
Moeglein said that by setting aside this
amount fine celebration would be
assured, as outside of the sum needed
to secure the band, the committee had
enough money on hand to look after
me other requirements for a glorious
Fourth. Some of the aldermen were
not In favor of setting aside any
amount for this purpose, saying that
IN their opinion the celebration should
De passed up this year, and more side
walks constructed instead, as the CITY
was more in need of these then cele.
brations. Most of the aldermen, how
ever, were in. favor of giving some
thing, and with but one dissenting
vote, the council voted $50 for this
purpose.

located on the corner OF Second street

First street southeast between Broad
way and line forty feet south of

First street be paved this simmer
from Broadway southwark to the
above mentioned line. It was made

aldermen gave it as their opinion that
the condition Of the treasury would
not warrant the paving of the street
this year, Mr.. Wetzel asked if the
