City Attorney A. H. Vernon an
nounced that the demurrer which had
been filed with the Judge of the dis
trict court in the case Of Mrs. Cath
crime Marshall, had been overrulec,
but that it could be brought before
the supreme court. He suggested that.
the city fight the case and that the
city engineer be instructed to draw a
sketch Of the walk and surroundings
where the accident happened. The
|'contention OF the defendant IS attor-
( neys is that the depression in the
walk where Mrs. Marshall was injured
was about an inch and half. Others
who know Of the walk and the defect
state that the depression was 1es-
than half an inch. The city has Is
days In which to make an answer to
the offer of compromise for $3.50 dam
ages. The question of liability is so
great that it was advised by the city
attorney to fight the case to finish.
Alderman Parshall was the father OF
three ordinances. One was an ordin-
ance prohibiting persons whom the
keepers of saloons or 9th ter public
places, are required to exclude, from
entering such places, and making
such violation a misdemeanor. An
o& hor lot %l.>
sale Of liquor to minors, drunkards,
and posted men and making it mis-
demcanor for them to buy liquor. A
third ordinance related to the sale of
tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, cigarette
papers, tobacco, ETC., to minors, MAX
ing it misdemeanor for them to pur-
chase these goods or to engage in any
game Of chance. All the ordinances,
it adopted, would serve to protect
the proprietors Of saloons and other
public places of this nature, whereas
at the present time the proprietor
alone is responsible. Each member of
the council has been given a copy of
the ordinances and it is expected that
they will be taken up at the mex:
meeting.
A resolution was passed ordering the
construction Of a six-inch water main
on the West side, beginning at the
intersection Of Second street and Sec
ond avenue southwest and running
west to seventh street and Second
avenue and south on Seventh street 10
the intersection Of Seventh street and
:!Fhira avenue south hNest. = FAe, lresoln=s
tion also provides for the installation
of hydrant at each corner beginning
with the intersection Of Third street
and Second avenue.
The city band was granted the use
Of the city hall one night each week
for which evening the hall would be
heated by the city hall janitor. They
will have the Use If the hall until IL
'clock on that evening.
Alderman Kaliher suggested that
the ordinance relating to the remov-
al Of poles, standards, etc., from the
streets on which the white way has
been installed, be given its first read
ing and vote taken on it. Alderman
Hall asked that the company be given
more time in which to consider the
factory to Alderman Kaliher, as he was
afraid that the ordinance would be
continually laid on the table, until
his term Of office as alderman expired
and that it would chen die out. The
remainder Of the aldermen present
were in favor Of laying the matter
over for another month and nothing
more was done with it.
Alderman Carlson reported that sew
eral lights were needed in certain parts
OF the city and that they ought to be
put in. The chair appointed alder
man Peterson, LaFond, Kaliher and
Carlson on a committee to rearrange
the lighting system in the residence
section of the city.
A picture of the first council of this
city was exhibited at the meeting and
was ordered framed. They said it
was prehistoric, and would make
good attraction.
