drunk and disorderly.' John was
either allowed to work on the streets
or take = short cut out of the city.
Out of the thirty-th cases, $36 N
! fines We're collected.
\ But our city marshal is a better fine
collector than is THE police magistrate.
Weidenhammer reported that total
or 1905 in sporting fines had been col
lected during the past month. Some
of our readers may ask if there are
over forty inmates of the tenderlon
as the fines would indicate. Others
may ask if the city council through
its peace officer is violating the state
and city laws by countenancing GER
tain forms of gambling. At any rate
the amount collected from sporting
fines is rapidly increasing under the
second term of Mayor Drach and at n
time when the entire council is demo
cratic.
Engineer Rosenberg reported that
H. B. 1keler had laid certain water
pipe in North Glenwood for the water
company in direct violation of the
city laws. He said he had spoken to
Mr.. Ikeler, but that the latter had
abused him at a great rate. 81 would
not talk to dog in the street as he
talked to me-" said Mr.. Rosenberg
who then called upon the council to pro
tect its appointive officers from the
slurs of others. Mayor Drach used his
think tank and finally thought it would
be a good plan to make the water con
pany pay for the replacing of the mon
uments from which the surveyors arc
to make their surveys and in case the
} company refused, the cost would be
} taken out of the next bill. 1t was a
} master thought and like oil on the
} troubled waters.
y 1t will be remembered that the city
) recently placed sewer in North Glen
\ wood and connected it with the sewer
) of the Hot Springs company. The may
\ or had been doing some more thinking
, and announced that unless the city had
, signed perpetual contract with the
company the latter might get its back
, up and either refuse to permit the city
to use it's sewer or make the council
!, pay for the privilege. The city attor-
ney will look into the above North
, Glenwood affairs and take such action
, as he deems best.
