 After the reading of the minutes by the city clerk at the regular monthly meeting of the council Judge Brown was heard relative to a deed by the city to two lots on School Hill for which he asked a deed to Henry Manz; referred to the mayor as trus tee. Mir. Morris asked a bridge in an approach to his premises but il was found that this was private prop erty and not city property. Following came the report of the finance com mittee, expenditures for the month, in | cluding the Brazil case settlement | having been $9,152,1S This repor. ! stated that two bills had beer held out. one from the Bisbee Improve ment company and one from acting ! fire chief Hicks. The reason given I for withholding payment on the first mentioned bill was that in that bill lights for the city hall were not in ! cluded in the amount charged | and the committee feared that if il ordered payment of the bills it might be taken to be a tacit agreement to the issuance of a franchise. In the instance of the bill for the services of fireman Hicks it was held that since he had received a vacation al full pay and some one had to do his work while be was gone that he should be willing to do the same foi other members of the department, in
 cluding the chief, during their ab- sence on vacation.
