The mayor and city aldermen ass
training their eyes to recognize "fos
Rent" signs since the city as q muais.
ipslity is almost out on the streets
and may have to join the Homeless g
Squad" almost any day. The question
of city quarter for use fos the jail,
hosehouse end council eAsnabsrs il
giving the authorities considerable
concern and after discussing several
propositions they are NO nearer . 81
luton of the important question than
when they began their search for = new
home.
The quarters which the city has &C.
cupied for the past few years have
been leased to e. n. Keck and y
change must be made, but the Officers
are ut loss as to where they can 60.
At the recessed council meeting last
Monday evening but little real bus;-
ness WAS transacted owing to the fact
that the mayor and aldermen had been
invited to attend little party given
by contingent of Coxey's army at
the coal chutes in North Glenwood.
As it was An K. $. V. =. affair they
felt that they should not fail to a.
tend. 1t took them longer than they
expected to distribute their favors OF
buns, bologna and coffee and extend
the social courtesies becoming such an
hl
considerably de-ayed thereby.
A written protest was made by
parkison and Richardson against the
board permitting the construction of
the Smart verandas in the manner
contemplated by Mr.. Smart and tae
building committee was again ordered
to investigate the matter.
There was considerable discussion Of
where the board would find quarters
suitable for city hall purposes, but
nothing suggested seemed to ne salts
factory to the members.
1t was found that the city clerk
could not give the exact amount of the
outstanding warrant indebtedness or
the interest due thereon and a recess
was taken until Tuesday evening.
AT Tuesdays session Mayor Barnes
brought up the l. W. W. propos ton
which he declared threatened to be-
come serious. He referred to the fact
that the previous evening it had been
necessary to call on number Of citi-
zens who, armed with riot guns, had
kept the army from crossing the
bridges and pillaging the town. In
view of the rumor that another con
tingent of the neverwork brigade was
due to arrive in GIenwood m the near
future he thought extra precautions
were necessary to protect the people
from their ravages.
Gilbert w. Smith, representing the
bond buying house of Causey. Foster
4 Co. of Denver, was present and al.
dressed the board on the two bond
issues upon which the taxpayers wouii
soon be asked to vote. He laid par
ticular stress upon the Importance, as
he claimed, of having all proceedings
in connection with these bond issues
directed by bond attorney who was
recognized by bond buyers all over
the country as an adept in this line
of counsel.
Wrile he said it was probable that
his company would not have a chance
to buy the bonds. since one issue was
to be taken by the Water company
and the other largely by the banks in
exchange for warrants they now hold,
he made a proposition that the city
employ the attorneys used by his cow
pany to work in conjunction with the
city attorney in the preparation of all
ordinances and other papers in connec-
tion with the bond elections For this
service his lawyers would make a mod
est charge of $4oo. His proposition
was accepted and the board recessed
until next Tuesday evening in the
hope that some definite action NAV 1t
that time be taken looking to the can
ing Of the bcnd election.
