 Plans approved by Chief of the | Fire Department aBrney Norton, pro- yiding for a concrete building. two stories in height sixty feet in depth. and twenty-five feet in width, to be built on the property where the Staley well is now located, were accepted by the Council to be followed in the erec- tion of the branch department
 The construction of the new build ing will be under the direct charge of Street Superintendent Wright. Sam Vukavich will have actual charge of the construction The city will build it's own structure. The Council ordered that actual work start as soon as pos sible
 One of the old employees of the de- partment will be transferred to the new building and given the title Of captain. Chief Norton win have charge of both stations. In view of the added work for the chief of the department his salary was raised from S135 to S16U
 Another matter Of great importance to the city of Bisbee discussed at last nights meeting was the condition of the saloons in the city It was ad- vanced that there was entirely too much noise in the dispenseries of the city. The Chief of Police was instruct ed to advise all the proprietors Of bars that from now on no rowdyism singing dancing, or anything else which might be termed disorderly would be tolerated
 The city attorney was also instruct ed to draw up ordinances providing for the elimination of the saloons down to the number of twenty. Under the present ordinances the number is thirty. The Council proposes to fix the city statutes SO that the saloons will. eventually reduce their own number to twenty in the city. An other ordinance proposed and which the attorney was instructed to have drawn is one clarifying the present statutes in regard to the conduct of saloons.
 NJ. J. Cunningham and M. Newman representing certain merchants on Main street appeared before the Council and asked that the City Coun- ell allow the Chief of Police to retain the fourth member Of the present force and to detail him to the work now being done by the Special Mer- chants Officer, and thus save the merchants the expense they are now put to.
 When asked about the matter Chief Allison said that by placing the extra man on regularly be could handle the work in good shape. The Council instructed the chief, by motion, Go see that this was done, Also in this line telephone was ordered installed next 3 door to the dispensary. on Main street. Q in order that the officer on that beat
 
 3 after o'clock. can get into communi cation with central without having to go to central office.
 This win not effect the status ol Jay Wilmoth the present merchants
 officer whose duties are solely that - of protecting the various mercantile
 establishments in the downtown dis
 trict By reason of the fact that from
 8:8O o'clock until daylight only one E. city officer is on duty the merchants - police is practically a necessity On' " city officer goes off at 11i3O o'clock a another S.8O and the other at o'clock e This renders the merchants officel n necessary.
 t The matter of James l.. Brooks ap picadon for a deed to the subway un t der his new apartment house, was tax @ on up. Before granting deed t' f. Brooks the Council decided lt should @ see that an other property in th' n neighborhood of O. K. street is pro
