The matter of providing such cans
thus introduced by the Mayor provoked
a great deal of dircussion. Councilman
Jenkins had been suggesting this move
ment for several years privately.
Messrs. George Stern, J. w. Shea and
f. G.. Hitchins expressed themselves IN
favor of movement.
George Jones stated that if the Ordi-
nance already on books prohibiting any
one from throwing paper and other
debris on the streets, was enforced garb-
age cans would not be necessary.
l.. Stanton thought the prices quoted
were too high.
Messrs. limerick and Yungerman
moved-that the Street committee get
bids from various firms for furnishing
such cans and that they be empowered
to act in the premises, and the motion
was carried.
Councilman Jenkins called attention
to piles of empty boxes and barrels, straw
and paper packing in vacant lot in rear
OF the Gehauf & Mayer building, Me
chanic street He stated that 1t is dan
gerous to have such piles of intlammable
material in such places. This matter
was discussed fully and the Bailitf was
instructed to investigate and have same
remedied.
The matter Of opening and widening
High street was again called up and
discussed.
Mr. Jenkins, ever watchful of the ex-
pense account, did not favor making
High street as wide as some Others
thought best, but suggested the pur-
chase of land along east side of street
from Union to Mechanic, as it could be
purchased for few hundred dollars.
Messrs. j. w. Shea and w. f. G..
Hitchins were of the opinion that If the
improvement is made at all it should be
done right and the street made good
width.
George Jones asked-why should the
town assume the cost of that improve
ment when other streets had been
opened and widened and the cost as
sessed tie the benefited properties? He
suggested such procedure in the High
ttreet and Beall Lame projects.
After more discussion Messrs. jenkins
and Morgan moved that the matter be
laid on the table for the present.
William Kalmyer stated that he be-
lieved that the license he was obliged to
pay for his livery stable was excessive
and asked that it be reduced. 1t was
decided that no change could be made
unless the Ordinance governing such
cases be changed.
John H. Footen again came and asked
what Council intended to do with the
sewer that empties on to his property ?
After some discussion the matter was
...,f, k,
Messrs. Morgan and Pfeiffer moved
that an appropriation be made to pro
vide the new police officer with uniform
and equipment.
Messrs. Morgan and limerick moved
that the sum of $6, interest paid by
Mrs John Odgers in error, be returned
TO her. This was interest charged on
the Broadway paving assessment and
which Mrs. Odgers alone had paid, all
others being remitted.
