Der S3 was created and the ordinance
passed by unanimous vote.
A resolution for the creation of
district number "a was read and

developed between Merrill and Peder-
son. Merrill claimed that a great
many did not want the water, while
Peterson maintained that they ought
to be ION the job with their protests.
Merrill claimed that they were ready
at the time for the last meeting but
that no meeting was held. and they
perhaps were not aware of the pres.

From up Stevens Sleeve" :
NJ. Stevens then presented "a resolu.
ton to pay thirty-nine items amount,
ing 20 $i,17l.91, nearly all the items
being taken from the resolution OF
July 9TH that was turned down, The
| resolution covered the amounts. up

which should have been paid at the

Evans ventured a parliamentary blow
to the effect that the resolution was
"hout of horder." Game looked per-
picked They were really up against
it. The men should be paid. The men
could be paid II but one Democrat
would vote for it. They thought 1t
over and passed the signal around,
and when Chairman Game was salts
fled that all had received the cue"
he put the motion, and. thirty-nine
creditors of Logan City were refused
payment by five Democratic votes,
the five Republicans voting to pay
their claims. The old wheel simply
would not revolve.
Czar Game.
| Stevens then asked that the report
OF N,els c. Peterson, so-called mar.
shall be taken NJ and disposed OF.
The report had been presented at the
last meeting. and a motion ITO accept
same was lost. hence the report was
still pending. Game Czar-like refused
to act.
