with any chief of police we have ever
had"
The plan of Councilman Vessel was
to have a merchant police for every
four squares. The cost for each mer-
chant would not be more than twenty
five cents per month. The policeman
would have authority to arrest anyone
guilty of a misdemeanor.
Councilman Kaufman said he would
advocate the flash light system for
which an appropriation had been
made, the first of the year. Any move
ment on the part of the council to ap-
propriate or transfer this fund will be
opposed by Kaufman.
To Change System.
That there were not more than one
third as many market hucksters this
year at the public market on South
Sixth street as in former years was
reported by some of the councilmen.
The discussion concerning the mar
ket was. brought up when Councilman
King suggested that all stalls at the
market house be sold at a uniform
price and the choice of places be eth
er given to the first applicants o.
that uniform price of $40 be charged
and the stalls be given out by lottery.
Councilman Weishaupt denied the
allegation of Mayor Zimmerman that
there were not as many hucksters at
the market as last year. Weishaupt
endeavored to persuade the council to
let the hucksters have the stalls free
of charge instead Of charging rentals.
This will lessen the cost of living as
the people who sell at the market have
to charge a higher price for their pro-
duce if they pay rent, and the rental
for the stalls comes Indirectly from the
people instead of the market tenders"
said Weishaupt.
A motion that the stalls be rented
for the same price, regardless of po-
sition, and the first applicants to have
their choice failed to pass, and the
matter was referred to the ordinance
committee and City Attorney Gardner.
Building Code.
committee, consisting of Weis-
haupt, Burdsall and Kaufman, report
ed that it has been busy going over the
building code. Mr.. Weishaupt report
ed that they had gone over one-third
of the code and the way they are draw
ing it up would be satisfactory to the
council. The committee from the
Commercial club comforting and advis-
ing with the council is composed of W.
K. Bradbury and Secretary Jordan
THE code will be the poor mans
friend and will only be opposed by
scheming contractors, who would cheat
a man who knows nothing of structur-
al building. The code will not only
cover the manner Of construction of
the building and regulate the kind of
! material used, but will also provide
for the proper installation of electric
wires, stoves and furnaces" Mayor
Zimmerman requested that a clause be
inserted which will provide for an in
spector, to be in the employ of the
city, and competent to inspect any
part of the building regulated by the
code.
7 Councilman Bartel recommended
that the services of DR.. George Fer
ling should be paid the same as Inspec-
| tor Pitman, for services rendered in
the month of May. Ferling was ap-
| pointed when government inspection
was withdrawn. while acting as in
| spector at the plant DR.. Ferling treat
ed the fire horses free of charge, as he
could not be employed in more than
one capacity by the city," said Mr.
| Bartel. The council was in favor of
appropriating an ordinance for paying
this bill which amounts to $4S.15, but
| it was reported that it would not be
/ necessary, as the money could be TAX
en- from the miscellaneous fund of
the board of health appropriation.
| The report of Charles Pitman, in
| spector at the Holzapfel slaughtering
house was accepted by the council.
/ The report showed that during the
month of November, 4S6 animals had
| been slaughtered and passed the in
spection required, although several
parts of carcasses were condemned
