Council Proceedings

All members were present at the
next to last regular session of the
city council, Mayor Couch presid-
ing.
In honor of Councilman Hill S
marked activity and we'll known
tendencies toward annexation, some
thoughtful party draped his chair
in deep mourning. Pascal is a hard
fighter, but splendid loser, and
took the joke in the happiest Of hu-
NOR, as II was expected that he
would.
Requests for FIRE hydrants on
Central avenue at Alma and Blu
chanan streets were referred to the
water and light committee by the
mayor.
A petition to improve S. Hayes
street was referred to the street
committee.
"A. M. Stearns asked for permis-
sion TO improve the south end OF
Decatur street that runs through
his property. Granted on motion
Alderman Davis.
The draymen OF the city asked
that the dray license ordinance be
repealed. The draymen requested
the passage OF the ordinance origi.
nally, but they now conclude that
protection is more burdensome than
free trade. On motion OF Aid. Hill
a repeating ordinance was ordered
drawn.
Bills to the amount OF SoIS.3.
were ordered paid on motion OF Al
derman Muck; all yes.
Several vacancies occurring il
the election boards. the following
were substituted: Mr.. Leggett in
place of Mr. Martin; Mr.. Roger In
place OF Mr.. Fletcher; Fred Couch
replaces J. T. Hitler,
Time and manner ordinances
providing for the improvement OF
Myers street, between Fessenden
and Thompson. and Seneca, be-
tween Fessenden and ST. Johns
avenue were passed on motions OF
Aldermen Horsman and Valentine,
respectively.
An ordinance providing for ap'
propriating money from the general
fund to pay the excess cost on the
Edison stree, improvement was
passed unanimously on motion OF
Alderman Valentine.
On motion OF Aid, Hill il was
decided to let the salaries OF city Of
6cials ride for the next year at the
present rate.
The matter of paymen; OF attor-
ney fees for the policemen who were
involved in the famous Hindu i'm
broglio aud which was left in the
hands Of the finance committee for
further investigation, was broached
by Alderman Perrine. lie wanted
the question settled at once, as did
Alderman Bredeson. Mr.. Perrine
stated that he was in favor OF pay
ment of the fees by the city, and
wanted his sentiment 10 go on rec
ord before election. The finance
committee, however, declared il
was not ready to report, and the
question did not get TO issue.
Thus endeth the SIst chapter o
the I9II-I2 history OF St. Johns.

Good Novels Thrown In

"A reader of the Chicago Record
Herald with u mathematical turn Of
mind has talcul ated that the serial
novels published in that paper i'm a
year represent saving of from $15
to SIS to it's readers. lie figures that
for the fiction lover it is more eco
nomicel to subscribe for The Record
Herald than to 60 without it.
"No other large city daily" he
continues, "prints SO much of the
best new fiction, in addition to all
the news of the day. Not counting
the innumerable short stories in the
Sunday Magazine of The Record.
Herald, that magazine prints yearly
at least four serial novels by some
OF the best popular authors-Rider
llaggard, Conan Doyle, Louis Tracy,
George Gibbs, Jeffrey Farnol, and
others in that class. Then in
the body of the paper there is near
ly always another good serial, rum
ming daily and Sunday, which means
a complete new novel every month
or two, or, say, eight whole books of
high class fiction in a year. At the
usual price of 81 so these twelve nov
els would cost $1S. l get all this
thrown in extra with mighty good
newspaper. l call 1t a bargain"
That is one way to look at it, and
it seems to be sensible way. The
real cause of the popularity of The
Reco'd-Herard however. is that it is
the best all-around home newspaper
in the country.
