ACCEPT UNSATISFACTORY
I MACHINERY.
READY FOR PUMP IN NEW WELL
PROPOSAL FOR BIDS IN THIS
ISSUE.

Mayor u. A. FrltSche took occasion to
tell John Schreyer, successor to Alfred
Kretsch and Bernhard Reinhart Jr.,'
successor to Jos. Martinka in the saloon
business, how they were expected to
conduct their places of business. They
were told that they are expected to OBJ
serve. strictly every state and NUM-
cipal regulation pertaining to the IL
quor traffic, to refrain from selling to
minors and drunkards, and to close
their places of business promptly at
eleven o'clock. They were especially
warned that laboring men after cashing
their checks in their saloons must not
be permitted to blow in the whole weeks
wages for booze when it should go to
the support of their families. The men
in question were present at the discus
sion of the transfer of the licenses to
them. The bonds which they had
filed were approved and the transfer of
license was granted.
A committee, consisting of Jacob
Klossner, Jr., Ernst Gieseke and c..
H. Dirks appeared before the council
and requested that the assessments
aggregating the sum of $870.25 made
against the Union Hospital property
for sewerage and grading and boule-
varding Broadway be abated. They
argued that the hospital is quasi
public institution and as such is entitled
tosssome consideration from the city
fathers. Their request was granted
and the assessments ordered cancelled.
Capt. Louis G. Vogel of the newly
organized Headquarters Co. appeared
/ before the council and requested that
the sum of $3.50 be voted for armory
rent for the new company. Adjutant
)Vogel went on to explain how the new
company was organized and that thru
it's organization the armory fund had
been enhanced to the tune of $4,000.
He stated that in his opinion the new
armory would be completed by August
| LIST and then no more rent of any kind
would have to be paid by the city.
His request was granted and the city
clerk was authorized to draw voucher
in the sum of $3.50 as armory rent for
the new company. This will give
them the same amount from the State,
and ought to help some in fitting out
their quarters in the new armory.
A proposition from the Union Machine
Company to allow discount on their
bill of $500 against the city for the en-
CINE which they installed about a year
ago, and which has proven unsatis-
ia: tory, was turned down by the coun-
Gil. The aldermen all feel that the
engine will never give satisfactory ser.
vice and for that reason insist that il
be removed and replaced by one that
will give satisfaction.
/ In connection with this matter {
Representative of the Electrical Machine
Company of St. Paul who was present
asked that the city council pass on the
suficiency of the generator which il
attached to the engine which has caused
so much trouble. The representative
stated that his firm had about $1,000
coming from the Union Machine Co
and that they could not get it until
the city had accepted that part Of the
equipment. The council passed re-
solution to the effect that the generator
had proven entirely satisfactory.
