OF Business OF City.
At a meeting marked for harmony
and quietude. council did really more
work last night In two hours than Is
usually done in two nights. Probably
the incentive TO get through was quick
/ ened by the fact that council was in
yited To attend a banquet given in
honor OF the chiefs OF police visiting
here. at the Arion Hall. The only item
OF interest that elected even the least
controversy was the question OF
whether or not an automobile would
be purchased for the use OF the food
inspector and inspector Of weights
and measures.
At first a motion was made to refer
the matter of purchase TO the finance
committee, but tho inspector informed
council that the time necessary 10 20
through the various committees wound
enhance the effectiveness OF the work
OF the department On this consid-
GRAFTON Councilman Chew moved to
reconsider the motion OF going
through the committees and TO in
struct the board OF control TO make
IL be lifted up for the exclusive use
Of the inspector and that the letters
TO indicate that IL was for the inspec-
tor, be placed on It.
Councilman Driscoll opposed the mo-
ton, as did few others on the Demo
there were but two votes registered
against IL in the Second branch. They
were Seabright. Republican, and Bar
nett. Democrat The final vote was
l6 to 2.
