OFFICE.

Last Tuesday evening the old Council
met for the last time, approved their
minutes and adjourned sine die. Be
fore adjourning they took up the matter
of the fire recently set on South State
Street by several young boys. The
parents were present and their attention
was called to the city ordinance and
they were shown that the city had been
put to an expense of at least $50 on
account of it. The parents, however,
were not called upon to make good, but
the sentiment seemed to prevail that in
the future the originator of the fire
should be called upon to make good
any and all damages that the fire does.
The outgoing members of the city
council are Theodore Mueller of the End
ward and Fred Pfaender of the 3rd.
The incoming members Of the council
are Williabld Eibner of the End and
Louis B. Krook of the 3rd.
Considerable time was spent in pass
ing upon the applications for liquor
licenses as they were voted upon separate
ly. It developed at the meeting that
some of the members of the council did
not know who some of the applicants
were nor where they expect to conduct
their business, but each in instance the
application was granted. The clerk
was thereupon instructed to issue the
license as soon as the license fee of $500
had been paid. The only councillor
voting against this resolution was Alder
man Krook. At a preliminary meeting
of Che members Of the council several
of them had expressed an opinion to the
efectethat the license should be raised
to- either $3.50 or $1,000. When it came
to vote Alderman Krook seemed to
have been the only one who took this
talk seriously and he voted accordingly.
Albert Steinhauser and DR.. Emil
Mueller appeared before the Council on
behalf of the Brown Co. Agricultural
Society with request that State Street
be graded, graveled and boulevarded at
least to the Fair Grounds, but stated
that if the council thought it better to
have the street graded past the Fair
Grounds also that this would be agree
able to the Brown Co. Agricultural
Society. No action was taken because
it was reported that a petition was
being circulated, having for its object the
same improvement.
