COUNCIL MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT LIVELY One
Several Sbay RetO During Evening Show Sharp Divergence
OF wpiniOn Among Members Of City Legislative Body

If the dove of peace hovered
around the city hall Tuesday evening
it departed shortly after the session
convened. Scarcely a session of the
present council has seen the number
of roll calls or the sharp talk which
was in evidence that evening.
After the reading of the minutes
the usual reports of officers were re-
ceived, and with the exception of that
of the city water superintendent
were approved without comment At
the request of Councilman Cunning
ham this report was laid on the ta-
BILE to be taken up lated. Toward
the latter part of the session Mr..
Cunningham got up and denounced
the water superintendent and mem
bers of the water committee for hav-
ing taken water pipe belonging to
the electric light department to put
into the mains, and declared that it
was illegal and he believed should
not have been done. He wanted to
know if the council approved of TAX
ing property from one department
for the use of another.
City Engineer Walker stated that
though nominally used by the water
department the work was work

CITY COUNCIL DEFIED
Notice Served That Hitching Rack on
Private Property Will Be
Built Anyway.

The council received a petition
Tuesday evening asking that permis-
sion to erect a hitching rack on pri-
Vate property be refused E. E.
Phipps, which was asked at the last
council meeting. Members of the
city council also. stated that the own
er of the property had asked them to
refuse permission to the lessee.
Mr.. Phipps appeared before the
council and stated that there was no
place in the eastern part of the busi-
ness section where a farmer could
tie his team, even for few minutes,
and that he would see that the place
was kept sanitary.
Councilman Gowdy believed the
permit should be granted. H. G,
Enders addressed the council in be-
half of Mr.. Phipps' request, adding
his own to it by stating that while
Mr.. Phipps had asked permission as
matter of form, the council had no
jurisdiction in the matter unless it
could be proven to be nuisance.
One of the members of the council
expressed the opinion that they
should deny the petition because OF
the request of Mrs; Kinsman, owner
of the land. 1t was stated by other.
present that Mrs. Kinsman was act,
ing simply because of pressure from
others. The sanitary committee re-
ported denying the request for per-
nit and the council approved the re-
port. Councilman Gowdy demanded
roll call as he said he wanted to go
on record as favoring a place for
farmers to hitch their teams. All
voted to sustain the committee ex-
cept Mr.. Gowdy. who then moved
that all hitching racks be removed
and the farmers be requested to
hitch their horses outside the city
limits.
Mr.. Enders in behalf of Mr. Phipps
then notified the council that he and
Mr.. Phipps were from Missouri and
should proceed to put in the racks
and test the matter in the courts.

ham to award the contract to Mr.

and Councilman Gowdy moved to

After considerable debate and an ex-
animation of the form of the bids the

AUTO SPEED PETITION TURNED DOWN
CITY FATHERS ALMOST UNANIMOUSLY REFUSE TO CONSIDER The
PROPOSITION TO INCREASE SPEED LIMITS FOR AUTOMOBILES

A petition carrying the names of
175 persons, many of them automo-
bile owners, was presented to the
city council Tuesday evening asking
that the speed limits be raised, so
that "a speed of 10 miles per hour
be permitted in the business districts
and 25 miles per hour on all other
streets within the city. The council
dispensed with the reading of all of
the names and Councilman Cunning
ham made motion that the petition
be laid upon the table. Councilman
Beaver believed that the council
should give consideration to the pc
titioners. In his remarks Council
man Cunningham referred to the
bloated automobile owners and said
he believed those compelled to walk
should be given protection.
E. E. Phipps and H. G. Enders,
who were present, both stated that
they had signed the petition under
protest and that the circulators had
agreed to change the speed asked for
to 20 miles instead of 25. They
both believed the present speed lin
it's were sufficient.
Mayor Johnson took strong ground
against any change in the regula-
tions. He said that the novice in
running car was almost invariably
the one who had the greatest desire
to speed. He had himself formerly
had the speed mania, but after one
or two accidents, one of which cost
him SIS, and narrow escapes from
several other serious accidents be-
cause he and others were driving too
rapidly, had taught him that 10
miles per hour was not too slow a
limit in the city.
Frank Jordan thought that there
would be little kicking on the ordi-
nance if the officials were instructed
to keep their eyes shut.
Councilman Werth wanted to
know if the mayor had a speedome-
ter on his machine, as he had been
informed that that official frequent
ly exceeded the speed limits. Mayor
johnson stated that he had and that
while he frequently ran up to the 10
mile limit he did not exceed it. Re-
corder Gillette stated that the police

HAS CITY POLICE CHIEF?
Chief Oien's Family to Join Him i'm
California and His Return to
to City is Uncertain.

Mayor Johnson and the city coun-
Gil were in the dark Tuesday evening
as to whether or no the city had
chief of police. Chief Oien went to
California last week on a stay of
uncertain length, and Assistant Chief
Porter was appointed acting chief.
Nothing has been heard from the
chief 2by the mayor, but the latter
gentleman stated that he had called
up Mrs. Oien and found that she was
about to leave for California to join
her husband and that they did not
expect to return. Chief Oien, how
ever, had not as yet turned in his
keys or star. From remarks con-
cerning the police protection asked
for the normal school by the care
taker, 1t was evident that there has
not been perfect harmony between
Chief Oien and the mayor and coun-
Gil and nothing is more unlikely than
that there will be a new chief ap-
pointed in a short time.

which the electric light department
should have done two years ago and
that not only the pipe but the laying
of it should be charged to the cleo
trio light department. He stated
that when the water pipes were
changed and the upper intake
changed to accommodate the electric
light plant, that either because of
shortage of pipe, lack of time or for
some other reason, small pipe with
elbows was put in instead of the two
foot straight pipe that was needed
and should have been put in; that
the water service had been partially
disabled for two years because of it
and the entire work was a proper
charge against the electric light de-
partment. Nevertheless the council
passed a motion that the water de-
partment be compelled to pay the
light department for the pipe.
The attitude of Mr.. Cunningham
toward this work created a smile
among. those who remembered that
this very work was one of the things
that gentleman urged the necessity
of so strenuously when advocating
