It being the nrst Of the AsoAA.
there was mucA routiDe busi1MD
before the city council last svsalAO.
which nscsesttaasd . prutIactol
meeting. The reports Of an city
olncers were read and aDDrsvsl.
The city marshal's and police nasio-
trate's reports showed but >16 COL
lected in dnes. An indication that the
city was on it, good behavior dur
ing the month. The city water 10
up to its usual standard. which
means the best in the world.
DR.. Graham was granted pernis-
sion to erect onestory cement
building on his Ninth avenue lot
across from the court house. which
he purchased lately from DR.. Fuqua-
While the building will be but one
story at present, the walls and roof
will be prepared for the addition of
two more stories at some future
date.
Alderman Barber was given per-
mission to erece q new carpenter
shop in the rear of his lot on Ninth
, street. now occupied by the Ecker
, Iplupbing establishment. The build
ing viii be Of brick and will con-
form to the requirements of the flre
: limits The present carpenter shop
4 on Ninth street. block east, will
be torn away and Mr.. Barber will
erect two-story brick in its place.
The question of planting trees IN
front of the new city hall and IL
brary was discussed and referred to
the street committee. 1t is so close
to the business district that the ques-
ton will need some consideration.
although the city has an opportunity
to get some fine hardwood trees Mt
the present time.
Several petitions were presented
for the change and improvement of
bitches and these were all referred
to the proper committee. There is
but IS in the dich fund at the pres
ent time and the council will be
able to do but little along this line.
The pile of gravel in front of the
Camfied was the subject of long
discussion. The city wants it out
of the way and the contractors who
are to erect the new addition want II
out of the way. as they have already
been delayed on this account. 1t -
not quite certain as to whom the
gravel belongs. but if 1t is not odt
of the way inside of another week
the city will remove Il by giving 4
away to anyone that wants it, and
there are plenty who are ready 20
take it. Sherman, the concrete
man, stated that he had the title to
it and wanted a few weeks to re-
move it, and after much argument
the council allowed him another
week.
A request from the United Pres
tyterian church to make compound
tap in the water main. in order to
get Il two-inch pipe for hydraulic
pressure to operate the new pipe or
gan, was granted.
! After the body adjourned. they
made trip to Eighth avenue to in
spect the row of new lights which
have been installed as an experiment
by the local company. They were all
favorably impressed, but will re-
serve their opinion until some night
when there is no moon and the arc
lights at either end of the three
blocks in question will be shut on.
The effect of this is easy to deter
mine The absence of the arc lights
will lessen the illumination but the
absence of the moon will add ma
terially to the results desired and
prove the real benefit of the new
system. The mayor suggested that
they stay up all night and watch the
moon go down, but the balance Of the
council had visions Of better
half" who might take up the search
with lantern.
AS soon as the council comes to "A
decision the light company will be-
gin the erection of their new poles
