$ MELTER CITY COUNCIL HAS
 MEETING

DOUGLAS. Oct. (Special.)-
 The city council meeting last night worked along as smoothly and as easily as a dreadnaught slips down the launching ways. Sensations there were none. stirs there were none and of fiction there was not a sign. The meeting was long one but this was largely occasioned by the fact that a new record was established by City Clerk Daley in the minutes of the pre- ceeding meeting. This was the meet ing that met in the morning and then went over to an evening session and was followed by special meetings so that when the record was completed it's reading required forty minutes. Then followed the reading of the monthly bills and when these were handed to the auditing committee it was approaching 9:30.
 ctraIehten Out Street.
 An ordinance for strengthening out Fifteenth street from 4 avenue to the city limits was presented for the h. ternational land and improvement company by Attorney A. M. Sames who explained that this was necessary from the fact that the city had given up it's actual user of one street and used another The ordinance was passed as was a resolution for the con veyance of the strip. The land. com pany will convey to the city the ether strip and will also pay the expenses of the. transaction.
 Fred Barron was removed as truck driver of the fire department and R. L. Johnson was appointed in his place. Several applications for appointment to the police force were received and as there were no vacancies were or dered filed
 Licenses Considered.
 Then license matters bobbed up D. A. Williams was given a refund on his payment upon his revoked license. The license of the Edelweis was res tored when Attorney Sames for Otto Zantler showed that his client was the victim and not in fault. He had en- trusted his bartender with the funds and instructed him to pay the license but the employee left town, an em- bezzler., with the license money and other funds Marshal East did his duty and closed the place and the council proceeded to recognize the cir cumstanees and restored the license on payment.
 Then came an application from Gung1 and Turner for transfer of the Hub bar license next door to where the Grove was formerly conducted. They stated at the same time that Dan KinselIa would take over the ii cense and business if the transfer was made, making this statement that all might be open and above board The necessary consent of tenants was ob. tained but the technicality of the owner of the premises signature was wanting although he had consented to the transfer of the lease. This matter went to a special committee and will probably be granted as Kinsella has fine record in Douglas. He is now day bartender at the Gadsden.
 Ordinance Muss Stand.
 Quinn brothers presented plans for an aerdome they propose building. They asked to be permitted to use $ inch instead of I3 inch brick walls, the roof, when on to be supported on 20 inch pillars or abutements. The state ment was made that they wanted to use pressed brick to enhance the at tractiveness of the building but could , use stone. To have granted the re quest would have meant an amending of the city ordinance so that any builder corld put up light and flimsy strustures in the fire limits. While it might be proper in the case of an aerdome the city could not open the door to fretrap office and store build ings. Hence the request was denied.
 The city court paid in fines s176. the pay of the street sprinkler driver was raised from s2 to s2,50 a day. Jack Hinton was awarded the privilege of putting advertisements on the street ' enYir klarc in oonS{darof{o,, 1,f bfS I-aan- ing them painted within and without at no expense to the city and there was some discussion on selling the horses used on the sprinklers and garbage wagons and buying mules in. stead.
