going to corner him off and let him
tell us all the news and doings OF
those fellows on the other side OF the

ern the cutting Of the street paving

tions Of buildings within the fire

The council heard j b. Kelsey on
matter Of cost Of laying a sidewalk,
some three years ago, and much argu-
ment ensued. The records showed that
the sidewalk had been constructed by
the city, the expense had been charged
up to the property The interest and
penalty added to the original cost Of
construction had brought the total cost
up some amount near $500.
Mr.. Kelsey stated that in his opin-
ion the penaiey was too high and ask
ed the council to take some action re-
mitting the penalty. Or reducing IL.
lust what action can be taken in the
matter was not stated by City Attorney
FEammerly, but some definite arrange
meut win be made within the near

the water meters was again brought
up eon the carpet and dragged lasher
and yon through all the phases Of the
subject, resulting in motion by Buie,
seconded by Evans. that the city own
all the water meters. This motion was
amended by motion by Coffman,
seconded by Collins that the matter
be turned over to the water committee
with instructions to take the matter
under consideration and devise some
way or means whereby the city can
own the water meters. The motion
was passed as amended and the com
mittee instructed to report at the next
council meeting.
The city attorney and fire chief
we're instructed by the council to draw
an ordinance to regulate The building
or repairs Of all buildings within the
fire limits. Il is understood that tht
ordinance is intended to make az
buildings uniform as to construction
as concerns the danger Of fire. Th'
