CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening. All members were
present.
Frank Peronta will be able to buy
no liquor in the city for year, he hav-
ing abused his privilege in that re-
spect.
A resolution was passed fixing water
rates and rules as now in force, done,
it was given out, to insure the legality
of holding the premises for charges.
The voting machine will not be used
in the third ward at the spring prim-
ary.
The assessor last spring assessed Mr..
Haupt $500 and Mr.. Schurr, next door
Sl7OO, getting their assessments re-
versed through clerical error. The
finance committee recommended that
the assessor be instructed to correct
the matter in 1913, the attorney hav-
ing reported that the law permits it.
In the meanwhile Mr.. Haupt must pay
about $50. more than is proper and get
it back next year. The two properties
are situated at York and 9th streets.
A tax of $1,000 on building that
was removed some years ago was re-
funded to Mrs. Rudolph.
Schroeder promised something on
Sth street bridge for the next meet
ing.
The final wind-up of the plan to heat
the sexton's residence was the adoption
of motion by Plumb to buy the 800
hot air furnace.
The committee on sanitation report
ed by Goetzler that they have offered
the position of visiting nurse to Miss
Harper at $50. per month. This pre-
cipitated a desultory discussion that
began and ended nowhere. Rugowski
voiced extreme disaproval of the WIS.,
iting nurse, quoting her as using an
uncomplimentary term in reference to
his constituents.
The mayor urged his project for
adopting the part Of the general chart
er providing for water commission
consisting of the mayor, an alderman
and three other citizens. The council
slaughtered it right merrily. Support
ing the mayor we're: Frazier, Plumb,
Anderson, Rugowski, Kapitz. Against
him were Nienauber, Goetzler, Schroe-
der, Thorison, Lippert, Smugler, Ze-
man, and Schellin. One vacancy. This
action was hard blow to the mayor.
Bids for road roller were opened
and read. Eight manufactures had bids
in. Bids for the 10 ton roller ranged
from $500 to $4,000 and the II ton roll
er IRON S2l0O to S27Oo. They we're re-
ferred to the street committee.
The resignation of Herman Schmitz
from the city water commission was
accepted.
Thorison then moved that the vacan-
cy so created be filed and nominated
Chas. Hacker. Plumb suggested Jos.
Bigel Goetzler created a laugh by
suggesting that Bigel would be all
right, the latter being Goetzler's op-
ponent for the council. Hacker was
elected on the first ballot receiving 8
votes of l3. The vacancy caused by
the mayors resignation from the com.
mission required nine ballots, the ma
yor ruling that eight votes were neces-
sary. Many thought Bgel's 7 votes on
the first ballot were sufficient. Orlan-
do Frick finally secured votes and
was declared elected. There was a
suspicion that some of Bigel's support
was given in an effort to eliminate him
from his contest for alderman against
Goetzler.
Anderson suggested Thomas Nc
Keough as his colleague from the 9th
vice Beasant, resigned, and he was
elected, receiving 10 of 13 votes.
The roller bids and balloting occu-
pied nearly the entire evening.
