Gil got together again Monday even
ing and transacted a small amount

ings and adopted under suspension
of the rules.
A resolution to pave Olney avenue
from Columbia street to Bellefontaine
avenue was given the first reading.
A resolution to construct a storm
| water sewer and ceiiar Grain on Sugar
street from Mound street to the Co
| lumbia street sewer was presented.
This Improvement is badly needed
and council rushed 1t through under
a suspension of the rules.
A petition for a storm water sewer
and cellar drain on Uncapher avenue
from what used to be Union street
to the Columbia street sewer was
referred to the sanitary and sewer
committee.

west side of Sargent street to the
northwest corner of Carhart street
and Wilson avenue was adopted.
A communication from Lorin Nc

placed against his lot in West Ma
rion was read and referred to the
judiciary committee Mr.. Mcclure
claims to have been assessed for
forty-eight feet when in reality he
has only thirty feet frontage.
The ordinance increasing the salar-
les of the firemen and policemen was
read the second time and under a
suspension of the rules was passed
to the third reading. Councilman
Brockett proposed an amendment
providing for s55 for the first six
months of service for the firemen
and patrolmen; $50 for the second
six months, $65 for the second year
and $40 for the third and subsequent
years. He also proposed that the
salaries of the chiefs of the two de-
partments should be raised to $95 per
month after FIVE years of continuous
service. After the ordinance was con-
sidered ready to be presented it was
found to be pretty badly balled up
and it was determined to draw a new
ordinance. After the substitute had
been drawn IL was discovered
that 1t did not provide for the things
which were sought and intended and
the councilmcn threw up their hands.
A motion to lay the ordinance on
the table prevailed. Before the time
for the next meeting an entirely new
ordinance providing for those things
suggested by MIR. Brockett will be
drafted and presented and from the
sentiment expressed last evening 1t
will be passed without delay.

zens whose feet had slipped from the

after the names of intoxicated per-
sons should not be read before the

persons who have been communing
too freely with Baccus.

hydrants was read, together with the
report of the chief of the fire de-
partment as to their completeness.

tary sewer on Patten street was
