Inan ", W.. The matter was t1nally
left to the finance committee, to be
reported on at the next meeting.
In regard to the proposed new
ordinance, relating to the running at
large OF dogs. the city dads repealed
ordinance No. ". and then proceeded
to consider the new dog ordinance that
had been drawn up for passage. All
the different provisions of the
ordinance seemed to meet with general
approval, with the exception that
several of the aldermen. doubtless dog
owners, wanted some section to be
amended so as to give some time in
which owners of valuable dogs would
be given time to see that the dogs
were missing and chance to redeem
them, instead of putting the carines
out of existence on sight. Among the
subjects that came up was whether
there was any difference between a
city dog and country dog. Some
had the meaness to say that no
difference could be seen in the making
OF sausage. And then as to whether a
dog found running at large with the
license tag should be kept in the city
pound three days, twenty-four hours
or thirty-six hours, with food
furnished at the expense of the city or
without. The city attorney was finally
requested to draw up the ordinance
so as to require that dogs caught run
ming at large no! having the license
tag shall be kept in the city pound
thlrty-slx hours before being des-
troyed, and allowing the dog catcher
SIS tor each dog destroyed and
buried. The ordinance will be ready
for next meeting.
Some misunderstanding seems to
have been the case, in the matter as to
the time for which the ordinance
amending section 2 of ordinance lO4
to discontinue sidewalk rebates, was
to be made out for. When tho
ordnance, which was to be presented
by Alderman Bastlen, came up at this
meeting, 1t read that 1t would take
effect Immediately after passage.
This, the alderman said, was not right
as it should have read that the rebate
would not be allowed after July /,
1909; and an argument was soon on
In earnest as to whose was the fault tor
the framing of 1t in this manner
and as to the good or bad intentions
of the attorney and some of the other
aldermen. This was finally given a
quletous by the city attorney framing
up new one for the alderman, which
received it's first reading at that
meeting, Aldermen Hall and KieweI
being the only two voting nay
Motion was made that the proposed
ordinance receive its second reading
Immediately, but the motion was no
in order.
Other important matters decided on
was as follows:
Chief Emder Of the fire department
was allowed the amount of $40 each

the annual tiremep' s. meeting to be

quested. The petition of d. Brown.
