POUND FOR HORSES

It was decided at last night $ council meeting that the city should rent Jim Blodgett's cor raj at S15 per month for use as Ia pound during the summer months.
 Councillor Sabin, who intro duced the motion to rent the corral, said that the rent asked was very reasonable, and as the cost of operating the corral was very small, he thought the i'm pounding of horses should be commenced immediately. Coun- cillor Gordon thought the horses should be aken care of, they were a menace to women and children in the streets.
 Councillor Callahan opposed the opening of the pound at the present time. He said that the teamsters had had q very hard winter, and it was inHicting a great hardship to prevent them from grazing their horses on the public streets. He thought that the matter might be left over until the bridge was put in, so that the teamsters could send their horses across the river.
 Councillor Rappolt said that the present system of calling to sE the women and children of the toEn To help rope the horses should oa stopped. He thought the policeman should do his own work.
 After further discussion, the motion was put and carried un- animously

if the mains were as they should be if would cost very little to keep up a pressure of 50 pounds. Callahan further said that the \. C. were only willing to make reductions where they had com petition, as in the case of light ing.
 Attorney Dignan pointed out that although the N. C. said that the accounts were all together vet they could tell when they could afford reduction.
 Councillor Gordon didn't think it was absolutely necessary to wait upon Richmond. The ord inance read that the council may fix rates and if not satisfactory, arbitratc. He had had some knowledge of corporations and it was nonsensical to think that the \. C. kept their books in way Mr. Richmond said. If the N. C. would not come through then the council should fix the rates. The x. (. had eyaded the matter every season. He suggested another meeting to discuss the matter further with Mir. Richmond.
 The council then decided to go into committee of the whole to further discuss the subject.

THE BREAKUP

The firstrun of ice in iron. ci Fair- banks commenced o1 Monsay last, and continued for about half an hour, carrying away a goodly DOT ton of tAe bridge piling. After a lapse Of about thirty minutes an- other run commenced, and some more of the piiing was carried away. Several smaller runs occur red at intervals during the next few hours. The breakup was tame compared with previous years, at tributable no doubt to the mild weather which had preceded 1t asi the low water which prevailed at the time. The ice went out in front of Cinema day later.
 The run of ice at Cinema on Thursday evening was ore of the heaviest ever experienced in the history of the camp, the cakes Of solid glare ice being from 70 to 50 inches thick. Fifteen piles with the Eip-Tap were torn from the rail road dock. Had it TIC, Deea for that the ice would have torn up the barges which were lying there.

Report 6t the Committee Is
 Discussed
MINORITY REPORT IS PRESENTED
Chances of Reduction In Rates for Wa ter, Heat and Power Very Poor at the Present Tine--Ny Dc Better Later On,

At a meeting of the city coun- cil held last night the commit tee appointed to interview Mr Richmond, manager of the x. G. company. with reference to the fixing of the rates for light. water, heat and power present cd their report.
 Councillor Gardner said that the committee had waited upon Mr. Richmond, but they had not been able to go into the matter as fully as he would have liked, the committee not being as well posted as they might have been on the subject. Mr. Richmond had stated that he was ready and willing to make a rate for lighting that he thought would satisfy the people and inc cOun- cil. As to the information which was asked of him regarding cost of the services in order to know what the company was making, It was an utter impossibiHty for him or anybody else to supply such information, unless the books were examined by an ex- lJeIe, winch, in Mir. Ric-Itnd' 5 estimation would take about three months. The light and heating all went in with the other accounts. no items of eN- pcrse and wages being kept separate. nor even cost of build ings used in the said services. Councillor Gardner said that MT. Richmond showed a disDO- sition to do what he could, and give such information as could readily be obtained from the books, and was willing to give q reduction of from 2J to 33 per cent from the present light ing rates. Regarding the charges for the other services, Mr. Rich mond stated that the rates were as low as they could be and would not be reduced without a fight He further stated that the present rate of , cents cubic foot of heating space could not be reduced. except to those whose buildings conformed to d particular standard. which enabled them to be heated more easily.
 Councillor Callahan's views on the matter did not coincide with those of the other commit teemen appointed to inquire in to the rates, and he according ly submitted minority report.
 In his report Councillor Cal lahan emphasized his opinion that the city could get no con sessions from Mr. Richmond, eX- .cept in the matter of lighting. He also stated that no infOr- nation which could be of use to the council could be obtained from MT. Richmond. A series of 10 questions were put to him regarding the amount invested and the plant used in the pub lie services, to all of which Mr. Richmond replied that he was unable to give the information, for the reason that no separate accounts had been kept of the same.
 After the report minority was read, Councillor Callahan eX- plained the proceedings. He said that when Mr. Richmond stated that all the accounts were mixed he, Callahan, disagreed rom him. He didn't think that Richmond's "boss' would stand for such methods. Regarding the charge made for the stand ing pressure, he thought that
