sion Monday night. All members were
present. The usual grist of bills were

AS administrator of the estate OF
Carl Meyer, John Mahnke, in com
munication to the council sisted that

The committee on electric lights, by
Alderman Ralph Plumb, reported on
the electric light purchase matter that
they have had several conferences
with Mr.. Schuette. The title to lot )
on which the plant stands is in the
name of the electric company, but the
$1,000 smoke stack one boiler and a
Corliss engine, all the property of the
electric company, are located on Mr..
Schuette's mill lot 8. Furthermore
the firing end of 3 OF the company's
boilers run right to the line of lot so
occupancy of part Of Mr.. Schuette's S
lot 6 is necessary for four different
purposes. The mill has no power of
its own but has used the company S
power for years The Railroad Com
mission probably could not legally com
pei Mr.. Schuette to convey the neces-
sary parts of his individual property
in Ghis purchase proceeding, he not
being party thereto, but it hoped

made. The committee report stated

gine, all property of the Electric Light
company. Ii is also necessary to have

ties other boilers which rnn right TO
Mr. Schuette's lot line and are fired
frcm his lot.
"John Schuette proposes to sell ,I5

engine site for 5000, and to lease the
loiler and engine site and the boiler
