OF LETTING CONTRACT FOR

The city council is billed to NEE,
this evening to let the contract 70,
the "white way" but the failure OF
sample posts to arrive may cause the
postponement Of the meeting until 8
later date. Bids were opened week
ago, but owing to differences in the
cost Of the various posts and the var.
ious makes mentioned by the bidders
the matter was deferred until tonight
The bidders and amounts bid last week

them at the same time asking them to
make any changes they saw at. .
The bill was returned to Mr.. Miller
the next day, sadly disfgured. The

are some Of the amendments Archie
founl on the erstwhile immaculate
margin Of his little bill:
Ployhar proposed hat the bill should
not apply to the Irish, and that it
should not be unlawful to dance such

mas, New Years and st. Patricks' Day.
Streeter thought the bill should not
apply to Ghost Dances, Sun Dances o,
st. iVtus dance, nor to bucks nor

Representative Lambert proposed to
amend by providing for a dance in.
spector, at salary Of $4,000 per year,
and who shall be so we'll informed that
he will be at all times prepared to dis
tinguish between the several dances.
hawkinson, Of Rock Lake, modest N.

ter If it carried an amendment provid-
ing that all dancers at all public
dances shall dance separately and

Nearly all are agreed that ! ire mar

cover the expense of the marshal
They are now assessed 2 - per cent
on all premiums, 2 per cent Of which
goes to firemen in organized towns and
the other ~ per cent to the state.
But in addition to this 10 per cent
direct the state also gets considerable
other insurance money from premiums
