MUNICIPALITY
 TROUBLE MILL
It Ground for Three Hours on Mixed Charge, With Only Small Clean Up and the Hopper Still Full to the Brim

hours last night and though a deal hopper but little came out on the plates Most of the values are still left in solution and the dump was not entirely emptied. All the mem bers of the council were in their places except the gentleman from the second ward when the hopes and fears the ambitions and the protests of the body polite, were placed be- fore it through the channel of the city recorder who for a man of such small stature is a pretty big pipe line.
 The first thing was the monthly bills. A new system of accounting devised by Lee X Plunkett is being applied to the city's business It was not provided soon enough to get all this months transactions in so all the bills were approved, or at least passed on. some were listed and the others will be; but the work was not sufficiently advanced so report of totals could be made under the various claSsificatiOnS That however will work no delay in the payment of the bills and by another month ev- erything will be working mechanically under the new system which includes the purchase of all supplies through the city recorder He is a sort of double pipe line now as everything goes out as well as comes in through his hands. One might think that he is all there is of it but he isn't for the council has to approve He is only part of a system
 protest of property owners on both sides of Washington street was filed against permitting the opening of another saloon on that thorough fare between First street and Central avenue. It is understood the cause of 1t was the proposed use of the new Thalheimer block. which is intended for a new home for an old saloon in the same block. No action was taken.
 Later a protest of other citizens was filed, against the opening of a saloon on the corner of Jefferson and the council that the projector of that enterprise had already given it up so there was no action taken.
 An ordinance was presented and referred to the committee of the NloIc SO dIIIeiiuHlS tue present or dinance governing the hours of saloon closing, that hotels with fifty or more guest rooms might serve liquor to guests in their rooms or serve it in the dining room, during the closed saloons"
 Monthly reports of the electrical inspector. the plumbing inspector the market master and the building in spectOr were read and filed The market master recommended that the ordinance closing stalls at noon be amended to permit their remaining open all day on Saturdays.
 The Hill Meeker Quinn Grocer Co. presented a claim to the city for goods damaged in their basement on July r, through flood water, alleged to have been not properly cared for by the city The claim which was for $2O.51 was referred to the com mittee of the whole
 A document numerously signed by owners of property in the southwest ern part of the city, protesting against the construction of a pro- jected hide house south of the capi- tol, was read and referred to the health officer
 The sanitary inspector filed an in teresting report showing that what ever the result of his work he has been IS active as flock of mos quitoes in an Arkansaw swamp. Dur ing the last month he has made 1889 inspections. found two cases of diphtheria, one case of measles, buried couple of dead animals. rounded lni iria nd creameries. cleaned a few alleys, found a whole lot of people and in dustries in fine condition and built a fire under some that were not. He also took ten milk samples and did whole lot of things. Anybody in terested should o and read the re- port but altogether it indicates a pretty decent condition of things gen erally, with lots of chance for inn proVement.
 A communication from a resident on East, Monroe street set forth the theory that a small section of that part of town was not properly provid- ed for in the sewer plans and the matter was referred to Councilman .Cisney and the sewer builders.
 long petition from the residents or West capitol addition asked the city to take over it's irrigation sys- tenn. The council tabled it on the theory that the addition was taken in under certain agreements which it could not now violate even if it wanted to- and it seemed rather ap parent that 1t did not want to.
 The recorder was instructed to ad- vertise for bids for feeding the city prisoners and also to compare the bond submitted by Carl G. Hershey for opening an electrical shop, with similar bonds and if found correct to issue permit. 4
 Then came another protest this time from citizens of Murphy addi- tion, stating their aversion to the proposed opening of a house for i'm moral purposes in block 3 of Railroad Place, on East Cleveland street. The marshal was interrOgated and said the matter had been reported to him and he advised the property owner that he had no right to interfere with his remodeling his house to suit himself but warned him that if it were leased to undesirable tenants he would probably start something.
