CHEnlCAL ENGINE.
(From Fridays DaIly.)

AHOJOA AAull ANPpNN AOl OAdOA las
evening at the city council with all o.
the aldermen present. Attorney Bent
ley acted as city attorney.
1t was agreed by the council that th'
bondsmen of the late City Treasure
Ira l.. Humphrey might continue tc
be bOndsmen for the present city
treasurer, w. B. Hazetine, during the
uneXpired term.
City Marshal Buckley reported that
he had collected $45 in poll taxes.
A resolution was offered by Daniel
Rumpf stating that in April, 1905, he
had quit claimed piece of land for
the continuation of Tenth avenue
west from Oak street. He had since
learned that he did not own the prop
erty and wished that the city would
investigate the title to the land and if
necessary quit claim it. He would
be liable for any expense incurred by
the city in the Investigation.
Alderman McFetridge entered a reso-
luton that the street committee be
authorized and instructed to have
manufactured a sufficient number OF
concrete hitching posts to replace the
decayed oak posts, especially at the
hitching place west of the court house.
AS the majority of the council were
not sure of the cost and durability Of
concrete posts the resolution was refer
red to the street committee for investi-
cation.
A resolution was offered by Alder
man Risley to the effect that con-
tract be entered into by the chief of
the fire department with Sherm Luce
that he should furnish teams for the
North side fire wagons for the consider
alton of SIS a month regardless of the
number of fires; teams to be furnished
between the hours of 5 p. m. and a.
m. The resolution caused much dis
cussiOn. Someone suggested the adj
visibility of a similar contract being
formed for the South side hose house,
Alderman Risley's resolution was un-
animously carried.
Alderman McFetridge then intro
duced a resolution authorizing the
committee on fire and city build
ings and the chief of the fire depart
ment to purchase chemical engine
for the use of the department and also
to investigate the advisability of pur-
chasing a team of horses to be kept
in readiness for use at fires. It was
moved that the motion be amended to
read that the first named parties be in
Structed to investigate the advisability
of purchasing a chemical engine, as
the cost of an engine was not exactly
known to the aldermen and as the
purchase of a chemical attachment for
the wagons was suggested in place of
an engine. The amendment and the
resolution were passed.
When the claims were read there
was considerable discussion as to
whether or not witness SupOenaed
and not sworn be allowed witness fees,
Alderman Welk contending that it
need not be done as he had known
several cases where witnes ses had not
received their fees and in one or two
cases he had not received any money
after being supoenaed and not sworn.
The acting city attorney explained
that he must have been bIuffed out of
them.
