Cheaper City Hall to Be Out OF Or
der at Present Time.

There was very strenuous meet
ing of the city commissioners held
Monday evening, all the members be-
ing present, and had q say In the pro-
ceedings.
On motion of Commissioner Geier
| mann it was voted to return to L. T.
Rhodes $21.36, the cost of lots IS and
i 36, block IS, Original plat, together
with the 1909 taxes assessed against
! the lots, as it had been discovered
| that these lots did not really exist,
though they were sold him by the
city at public auction year or so
| ago.
City Auditor Young reported that
he had discovered that the city had
not been receiving any penalty or in
terest on delinquent taxes paid into
the county, and which would altogeth-
er amount to probably sum up In
the hundreds If not thousands OF dol
lars.
Commissioner Geiermann moved
that the attention of the city treasur-
er be called to section 2757, r. c.,
1905, which states that all penalties
and interest on all city taxes shall be
turned into the city and that he pro-
coed to forthwith collect same from
the county treasurer, since the year
1905, when the law was passed.
The bids for street sprinkling were
opened and referred to Commissioner
Geiermann for report to the next
meeting of the commission.
A few small bills were allowed and
oth
various commissioners for further in
vestigatiOn.
The supplies for patients in the city
hospital were brought up, and judg-
ing by the bills for groceries turned
in by certain patients, reports that
they are not we'll fed, must be an err
ror. One bill for one week for two
patients included 1T" bone steaks,
oysters, different kinds of fruits, meat
roasts, and goodly supply of other
high priced goods and! CONNECTIONS.
i he patients ordering them probably
never lived so high in their lives be-
fore and the public health commits
sioner was directed to issue written
orders in the future for all supplies
for patients in the city hospital.

school, was granted on condition that
it did not interfere with any pub
nc or private rights which may ex-
lst.
After this the sky rockets exploded
and all went off in a bunch. Commits
sioner Geiermann moved that the
chair appoint committee of three
to confer with an architect and OBJ
tain q sketch of a fire hall for pre-
sentation to the commission at as
early q date as possible.
He stated that there is now some
1880 on hand which can be used for
fixing up the lots and building the
foundation and probably doing a part
of the building and that next fall
when the regular appropriation is
made enough money could be appro-
priated to at least put up the first
story, and probably more, for the
accommodation of the fire depart
ment and city Jail. and the year fol-
lowing the rest could be appropriated |
for and the building completed.
Commissioner Lucas seconded the !
motion. The chair stated that he
would have to rule the motion out |
of order on the grounds that the mat
ter of issuing bonds for the erection
of city hall had been passed on by
