CITY COUNCIL

The monthly meeting of the city
council, which was adjourned on elec-
ton night to last Tuesday evening,
April 4th, held its business session
on that evening.
There was quite an attendance of
ladies and gentlemen present to press
the matter OF an appropriation for
Baby Week" The amount of $500
was asked for this purpose. Theodore
Werle, who formerly lived here and
who is with the state in its anti
tuberculosis work, was introduced and
talked Interestingly on the observa-
tion of Baby Week" and thought the
city should cooperate and make the
necessary appropriation. Other talks
were made on the question by Mrs. G. D.
Jones, Louis Marchetti, and G. d.
Jones. Mayor Ringle did not favor
the appropriation being made in the
form presented, if, legally, it could
be made, with a thorough under
standing as to just what was going
to be done with it, he would take a
different view of the matter The
question of the donation was post
poned until the meeting of the new
city council which is to be held this
evening.
1t appears that an oversight was
made in making up the tax roll, and
that $1S,0SS.56 levied as county
school fund was omitted. Mr.. Lull
presented resolution providing that
the amount be transferred from the
general fund to the school fund and
that the sum of $18,0SS.56 be in
cluded in the tax levy for 1916
Mrs. Frank Kelly's resignation az

tion of the meter system in our water
department, was passed. This matter

presided over and conducted the af-
fairs of the city council during the
