The board OF city commissioners
held an eventful meeting at the city
hall Tuesday evening. Those present
were. Pres dent Williams, and Com.
missioners Lucas, Jackson, Tatley and
Patterson.
The report of Health Commissioner
F. R. Smyth for the month OF March
was received and placed on file.
The report of the police department
for the month of April was submitted
to the board. 1t showed that there
had been 63 arrests made, the largest
number for any one month for long
time. OF these arrests 80 were for
vagrancy, the prisonery merely sleep
ing overnight in the Jail and leaving
town the next morning. Eleven others
were for suspicion and they were
ordered out Of town as soon as they
were examined and no cause determ.
ined for OBTAINING them. Nine were
arrested for being drunk and disorder.
ly, t for maintaining public nui.
sances, two for disorderly conduct, one
for petit larceny, and one for selling
liquor. There were IS police calls
from the outskirts Of the city. The
police seized and turned over to the
sheriff two barrels of beer and one
case of whiskey. The police depart
ment is now comfortably located in it's
new quarters on Broadway.
The report of the chief of police on
street work during the month of April
was submitted, and contained the fol.
lowing essential features:
The expenses on street work for the
month of April in my department was
$116. The water works has a number
Of man holes around shut offs, which
Is curbed with old plank. and the
planks having rotted away leaves very
dangerous places in the streets, and 1
would recommend that they dig up
those places and protect them so that
vehicles and animals will not break
through. The streets are now in a
pretty fair condition and with a few
days work with grader will be o. k. I
would also recommend that a man be
kept down at the dump grounds to
look after it and keep people from
setting it Oh fire or the city may have
damages to pay from that source.
The matter OF unsafe places was re.
ferred to Commissioner Lucas.

that no definite action had been TAX

to the next meeting.
Commissioner Tatley introduced a
resolution to put in a system of storm
water sewerage in sewerage district
No. /. This has seemed necessary
because the present system is unable
to carry off the surface water when
ever there is hard rain storm or
much melting snow. The matter was
referred to Commissioner Lucass.
A number of bills were allowed,
among them one from the sheriff for
board and keep of city prisoners dur.
ing the month Of April to the amount
Of $500. There was a general kick
as result of this bill, but it was
learned that the number of arrests
for the month Of April was the larg-
est in any one single month for
long time. There seemed to be SEN
timent among some of the commits
siOners that no suspicious characters
or Migrants should be run in, and TAX

ed that when the police were notified
to be on the lookout for criminals
from other cities that it was absolute
ly necessary to protect this city from
suspicious characters and they should
be arrested. The lack Of a city jail
makes it necessary in the event of
their arrest that they be taken to the
county bastile, hence the large bill
against the city. The bill was allow

Commissioner Jackson moved that

the motion. Upon the request of Com
missioner Patterson further action
was postponed until Monday, May 8,

if this indication is fulfilled, will also
be compelled to comply with the pro-
visions of the Sherman law, as thus

does not mean there will be any con-
fiscation Of property or interference
with property rights, whether these
rights are called goodwill

else. 1t simply means that business
of our modern business combinations
must be conducted in perfectly fair

not be forgotten tha- stockholders will
