caused Mr.. Freund so much pain Of
mind as we'll as hard labor. The COM
munication was laid on the table.
The following bills were read and
ordered paid:
J. ]. King, salary as city attorney for
81 days, $3.50.
Jap restaurant, meals for prisoners,
$2O.15.
D. M. Thomas, supplies, $11.
w. L. Debord, drayage, SIPS.
Leavenworth Echo, printing, $11.50.
]. Carroll, labor, $3.50.
Election board, SIS.
]. w. Teshera, day marshal, $85.
J.W. Teshera, supplies for Jail, $500.
c. Mckenzie, night marshal, SIS.
T. c. Yocum, drayage, $1.75.
Light & Water Co., $3.50.
G. H. Johnston, labor, $3.50.
R. T. King moved for the reconsid-
Grafton of the bill OF w. J. Moon for
building the Front street bridge, which
bill has been the cause of lawsuit in
which the city has been defeated.
Councilmen Woldenberg rose to the
point of order that Mr. King had voted
on the wrong side at the last meeting
and could therefore make no motion to
reconsider.
Then Mr.. King made out new bill
and insisted that the same be consid-
cred. This was the occasion for a
lengthy discussion as to the why's and
wherefores of the bill not being paid,
and the services OF Judge King were
called in to secure an opinion. The
judge said the bill would have to be
paid and the council might as well pay
it now and save interest as we'll as
quibbling.
Mr.. Woldenberg insisted that his
point of order, which had been over
ruled by the mayor, be put in the
minutes. Then the motion was put
and carried, and Mr.. Moon will now
receive his money, by vote of 3 to D.
Woldenberg and E. A. King voted no,
Mccoy, Wheeler and K. T. King vot-
ing yes.
1t was moved by R. T. King that
the section OF the minutes of the meet
ing of Jan. II, 1908, which had been
expunged by the council of that year,
be again placed in the minutes. This
motion was the cause of additional dis
cussion, delay and appealing to the
legal opinions of Judge King. The
latter took the ground that if the coun-
Gil had the power to revoke ordinances
passed by previous city councils, it
had also the right to add to the min
utes as desired by the motion. Never
theless the motion by Mr.. King was
defeated, he being the only one to
vote for it.
Bills of ]. R. Ramsey and Ed Sy
nolds, for wood furnished, were referred
to the city marshal for his o. K.
R. T. King introduced a bill for
$3.50, expenses of trip to Wenat-
chez in the famous Moon bridge case,
and demanded that it be paid, or he
would hale the matter into the courts
and force the city to pay it. The bill
was for livery hire, wages of driver, and
meals for the party. The dissection of
the bill showed the team to be mill
team, and Mr.. Woldenberg asked if
Mr.. Jacobsen was the driver. On vote
the bill was turned down, R. T. King
and Mr.. Wheeler being the only ones
to vote for it. 1t will probably now
come up in the courts if Mr. King
makes his threat good.
Bill of ]. w. Teshera for $685.,
serving papers as special constable,
was allowed, as was the bill of Con-
tractor Hartman of $1216.95 for the
building of the new widewalks.
Judge King called the attention OF
the council to the fact that when the
Great Northern repaired the viaduct
they had left off some planks from the
railing that made it unsafe for children.
The marshal was instructed to see that
the boards were Immediately replaced.
1t was voted that the consideration
OF the numerous ordinances introduced
at the last meeting be laid over to the
next meeting.
Mr.. Woldenberg then secured the
floor to make little speech in behalf
OF the striking switchmen, of whom he
said number were old residents of
Leavenworth, with families. He urged
