Mr.. Hess suggested making it a
part of the city's business to keep
these places and all lines of hitching
racks clean, and asked If 1t would
not be we'll to lay walks so people
can have access to the hitching racks
without getting into the mud. The
matter was referred to the commit

Pump for Cemetery
The council authorized the ceme-
terry committee to buy pump for

Visit City Park
The council decided to visit the
city park before the next meeting,
and the improvement committee was
authorized to act until then.
Printing Bids Opened
Bids of four printing houses we're
read regarding some letterheads,
bill-heads and a few hundred war
rants, and the council picked out the
bids, iten by item, and awarded them
to the lowest bidders. The Blackfoot
Optimist bid rs cents an inch for all
legal and other notices for the admin
istration, and The Republican bid on
the same work for the year free.
The Republican was made the Of
fetal newspaper for the coming two
years with the understanding that it
would serve the city free of charge
for all legal notices, publications of
ordinances, chief of police notices,
etc., by a unanimous vote of the
council.
The First National Bank was made
the repository for the city funds with
the understanding that they pay
per cent interest on the daily bal

with the Standrod bank and it was
urged by some that it would be only
fair to allow the change.

there was great amount of sparring
in the settlement of some of the mat

spectators were present and they sat

The session was like hard checker

with keen gusto. Anxious wives at
home, waking to find themselves
alone at unseemly hours OF the night,
rang up at intervals to see what ha l
become of husband, and the council
would pause while hubby apologet-
ically talked into the phone some
thing like this: "Why, the council is
still in session-yes, long sitting
why-in little while I think-per-
haps half an hour"
And then again another would say
into the phone: Were not through
yet. I'll be home just as soon as
they adjourn. No-nothing serious,
everything is all right"
Then again: "No, I'm all right
just detained at the meeting. can't
tell nobody can; that's right, I won't
have to go to bed at all but just eat
breakfast and work right on. Good

get excused after little. No there
