 STARTS MODERN
 BALL ROLLING
Take First Steps to Secure Garbage mcinerator, Fire Appara us, Drinkin g Fountains and Publ Toilets

meeting of the city commission last | evening for the installation of a nun ! icipal garbage incinerator, the es ltablishment of public toilets and l drinking fountains, the extension of l the scope of the free employment bureau and the eQuipping of the fire department with modern and ade- quate apparatus well as the eX- l tension of the present fire alarm system and the remOdelling of the central fire station at First and Jef lferson streets. An ordinance was adopted making it a misdemeanor to allow rubbish to accumulate upon city lots, vacant or improved. giving the manager authority to clean up neglected city property and assess the costs against the property. the same to become a lien until paid.
 It was not a long meeting but the expedition with which the business m hand was carried out. permitted a comparatively early adjournment notwithstanding there was host of
 business. Because of the failure of some of those whose presence was necessary to llle tOlluutl Ol DHSllltSS. to be on hand at o'clock thereby
 holding up converting until d half hour later, Mayor Young took occa- sion to urge prompt attendance at
 meetings of the commission. He said
 that the tardiness of one or two
 worked hardships upon the others.
 and that as for himself his time was
 too valuable to be asked to spend it
 sitting round the city hall waiting
 for others. He even threatened in
 the future to wait not longer than
 fifteen minutes after the hour set
 for converting. after which he would
 absent himself. He said that this
 applied to officers of the commission
 themselves.
 The most profound sensation came
 with the reading of proposed reso- , lution making it rule that any city
 employe drinking intoxicating liquors
 at any time during business hours or
 while engaged in the performance of
 any service to the city, shall be sub
 iect to dismissal and calling upon
 the city manager to take all neces- . sary steps to enforce the rule laid : down This resolution was adopted without argument.
 Manager Parish presented report
 covering many important branches e of the city affairs and appended thereto a recommendation for the : purchase of adequate fire apparatus

 building This recommendation alsc # provided for the remOdelling of thc II central station, the installation oi if new apparatus and the extension oi if the fire alarm system. Approximate .s ly these recommendations if carried = out would cost the city s50,OOO. Il Incidentally.
