Bisbee daily review., 1910-08-04

 cases occurred in September. fl there should be a large number of cases in August and September of this year the record of last year would be exceeded but Dr. Greene believes that sanitary conditions are better than they were last year and that if there is to be an excess over last year 1t will result from climatic conditions here. as in other sections of the country.
 The report of the committee which was previously appointed to consult with the Douglas Improvement com pany on cost of street lights and ] the turning of them on and off from ] a switch fin the power house was next presented and included a propo- sition from Mir. Arthur of the com pany. The latter was referred to the , stree; and alley committee, with power.
 Another committee reported on the cost of obtaining receptacles for waste papers in streets and in parks. It recommended four or five round cans with tops half of which would open and close. for the park and other receptacles. like those now in use for the streets. The cost will be s7.5O each, and the matter was re ferred back to the committee, with power to act.
 No Money to Boulevard.
 The committee which had been ap. pointed at a special meeting to con sider the proposition of slagging Eff teenth street, or some street. as a solution of the traction engine prob lem. MT. Adamson of the Arizona Gypsum Plaster company. having of fered that the company should bear it's share of the expense, reported that the city did not have the funds for this purpose. and the matter would have to be voted upon by the people The question of the use of the traction engine was therefore left in the same position as before.
 The purchase of a stop watch for the chief of police for use in en- forcing the automobile speed ordin- ance was authorized. the cost not to exceed s11.
 A shed for housing machinery be longing to the city was authorized to be rented, a pantry to be built under city hall back stairway for holding , fire department supplies ordered built as both vaults are needed for the city books and the city attorney was | instructed to draw an ordinance regulating the height of awnings. as to which there has been much com plaint. An ordinance reducing the + cense fee fof fortune tellers. palm ists and others of that ilk to s10 was presented and passed. Al present this class will not pay the fee. but go outside the city limits to conduct their business.
 Arrange for Funds.
 At this time of the year the city is always short of funds for the nee essary expense Of maintenance ol the government. since most Of the re ceipts come in during the first hall of the year and the fund Is about ex hausted toward the time when the new taxes are levied. To care fol this condition the council authorized the water commission to loan iron it's funds to the city at 3 per cent interest, the same which the bank pay for this fund, thus meeting tht lproblem by taking from one hand tC but into the other hand" an eas, and most satisfactory solution of th' lproblem since the city has practi cally itself for creditor and the in terest comes back into the cit, treasury.
 The water commission reported ne profits for the month of s14s1 4 and asked permission to erect ; Class c building on the city propert, at the end of Eleventh street. It il claimed that this is against the build ing ordinance and the matter wal referred to the city attorney, witt permission to erect such a building if he found it could be legally done
 This cleaned up the business O the council and an adjournment Wal taken.
