The council at this meeting tool
another step toward a Bigger Black
foot" when they adopted a resolution
by unanimous vote asking congress
for an appropriation for a federal
building. The clerk was authorized
to send copies Of the resolution to
Senators Borah and Brady and Con.
gressmen Smith and French. Mayor
West suggested that q committee OF
local citizens be appointed to push
the movement. Blackfoot has the
U. S. land office besides the post offie>
and there Is every reason to expect
an appropriation will be granted for q
fine government building which will be
a credit to the town.
A petition was presented for the ex-
tension of the sewer in the Fourth
Ward in the alley between Maple
and Oak streets. AS both councilmen
were absent from that ward, the petit
ton was laid over until the next
meeting.
Some time was taken up discussing
the draft Of proposed ordinance
governing the use of water for the
mains of the Blackfoot Water Com
pany for sprinkling purposes.
A discussion was also held on the
advisability of installing water meters,
the water company wishing an ordi-
nance enacted to that effect. They
state that some people are in the
habit Of using an extravagant amount
of water and it being difficult to dis
cover the guilty ones, the installation
Of the meters would offer a solution

ship. After general discussion the
matter was finally referred to the law
and order committee.
Mr.. Mowry asked the attention OF
the council to q request that he be
permitted to maintain a feed yard
for teams just west Of the city hall.
II his request is granted he will
build sheds where teams will be tied
and fed and will also erect suit
able office with rest and tOilet rooms
in connection. He wishes to have the
place in running order before fair
time this fall and assured the coun-
Gil that he would keep it up in clean,
sanitary condition. The matter was
referred to the city attorney and gen.
eral improvement committee with
power to act.
A petition signed by most of the
business men of Blackfoot was to the
effect that the council enact an Or
dinance forbidding the burning of
waste paperr and rubbish in the street
and alleys or on private property
In the commercial districts. This
provoked a lengthy discussion, all be-
ing of the same opinion that the
practice was dangerous one in
that fires could be easily be started
in this way. The idea among some
was that the danger could be minim-
ized by using certain precaution.
Councilman Younie advocated the
use of a woven wire enclosure, main
tanning that to ask the business house
to haul all waste paper and rubbish
beyond the city limits would work an
unnecessary hardship and uunreason-
able expense upon the merchants. The
matter was finally laid over until the
next meeting as was also the street
paving proposition.
