The mayor tried hard, as favor to
> sister municipality, to get the council
o sell grave in the Potter's field at
he resident price of 81 instead of the
nonresident price of S. to the city o
Oshkosh for resting place for an Osh-
kosh pauper who died at Maple Crest,
but the council exacted the pound of
flesh.
The vaccination question evoked
lot of fireworks. The only question be-
HfiIe the house was whether the city
.ould pay the doctors fee for children
yaccinated as before December 2nd as
= well as those after but everything was
debated. Edwards and Kapitz voted
against taking up the matter at all.
The Board of Health recommended re-
funding 40 cents per child. Revolinski
was primed for it. He took the floor
half dozen timestand each time assail-
ed the authorities for not commencing
vaccination long ago and claimed it is
| dangerous in cold weather. 1t drew
some warm reports from Health officer,
| DR.. Meany who addressed the council
at lengte on the smallpox situation.
He said that all the family of the
doughty alderman had had the small
pox and kept it a secret. Revolinski
said: HE came up and locked US up
like cattle SIN stalls" Schuetze eX-
planned that the Board of Health were
compelled by law to order the vaccin-
tion when they had notice OF the pres
ence of smallpox. Revolinski banged
the doctor again and demanded that
the mayor prevent the physician from
replying. There was general discus
sion. The mayor said: "Mr Mckough
do you want the loor?" and the 9th
warder said mo, only want my fifty
cents back" Georgenson thought the
orders should apply to factories and
stores if enforced in the schools. The
mayor choked off debate which Ed
wards, who was talking, resented. Ev-

The election to fill the vacancy caus-
Aed by the death of the 10th street
~bridge tender resulted in III futile bal
lots. The mayor ruled that but not
Of the l3 would elect. The race was
mainly between Joseph Wachowicz and
w. Wilfer. First one and then the
other would get votes. Action was
finally deferred.
The mayor got onto his narrow
street hobby for a while.
The Murphy cement company was
ordered paid its $4,000 held upfve years
on paving guarantee. 1t was debated
quite a while and finally decided to
hold out or dollars for some small
repairs the city made on one street.
The city has been paving AZ on the
money.
Poor in November cost 1924. This is
quite low. Evidently Thorison is rtt
having operations for appendicitis on
the poor very often.
The council just naturally landed in
to the middle of the utility building
question and all the shopworn argu-
ments were Refreshed
The engineer toted in an armful Of
drawings. Georgenson moved to adopt
the plans for entire new combination
buildings. A recess WAS taken and
dozen heads were soon bent over the
blue prints. Schuetze and w. Schroe-
der parted company at last. Schroeder
stood to his guns to the last and fought
it out and lost. Schroeder, Bigei,
Schuetze, Georgenson and Thorison
discussed the matter at length. Bigel
had another new scheme for getting
