Passed by the Chairman and Board
of Trustees of the Village of Noun
tain Home, Gilmore County, State of
Idaho, this 18th day of March, A. D.,
1910.
On Monday evening Ordinance No.
10l, changing the fire limits of the
village. was put on final reading ami
regularly passed, and the first read
ing of Ordinance No. 1O2 took place.
This measure. which was fathered by
Trustee Stanfeld, was for the purpose
of regulating the hours of saloons,
which have heretofore been regulated
solely by the state Sunday closing
law, and was in effect that all bars
and saloons be closed at 2 o'clock
midnight and remain closed to
o'clock the following morning This
ordinance was also read the second
time Tuesday evening, and the final
reading and passage took place We'd
nesday evening. An amendment will
doubtless be made to this document,
giving the board the power to allow
the saloons to remain open on occa-
sions when there is a large crowd Of
people in the village and it is de-
sirable that the boisterous element be
kept off the streets. This is consider
ed by all classes as a most sensible
conclusion.
At Monday nights meeting a per-
nit, on petition, was granted to Karl
H. S. Hougen for the erection of an
iron-clad automobile garage in the
rear of his residence. The city at
torney made report that a complaint
had been filed against John f. Dulin
for violation of the fire limit ordin-
ance and that he had appeared, by
attorney, entered a plea of guilty
and paid fine of $25. Mr.. owen
thereupon recommended that the
matter be dorpped from further con-
sideration. and it was so ordered.
On Wednesday evening, by unani-
nous action, a proclamation was
ordered issued setting aside Friday,
April l. as a grand cleanup day,
and the notice. by Englehart, asking
that Rule of the village bylaws be
amended to the end that the place
of meeting of the board be desig-
mated as at the Public Library, in
stead of the Commercial club rooms,
was taken up and adopted. Engle-
hart, Stanfeld and Howeth voted for
the measure, and Whitson and VIII
son against
On the completion of this action,
Clerk Jas. A. Purtill, who has been
the efficient balance wheel of the
board for mayn terms, rendered his
resignation, and the same being ac-
cepted o. f. Norell o. E. Cannon,
F. NJ. Hobbs and Geo. P. Hall were
placed in nomination for the vacant

fatty refused to allow their names
