COUNCIL HEARS
LEASE PROPOSAL
PLAN ON FOOT TO LEASE CHAM
Der OF COMMERCE QUARTERS
TO PRIVATE PARTIES
Give Chamber Room on Second FlOOl
Other Business Transacted at
Council Meeting

There is a possibility that the quar-
ters in the city hall building at Main
and Fourth streets now occupied by
he Chamber of Commerce may be
leased to private parties and the cham
ber given quarters on the second f1ool
of the building. The matter was up fol-
discussion at the meeting of the city
council last night and it was learned
that tentative proposal had been
made to the city for the lease of the
room. The council originally under a
resolution gave the Chamber of Com
merce permission to occupy the quar-
rtes until such time as it could be
leased to other parties The latter
feature was never pressed and the
chamber has been occupying the
quarters for long period as result.
It is expected some definite action
will be taken at the meeting Thurs
day night.
A committee from the fire depart
ment waited on the city council last
night at it's meeting and read the min
utes of the fire department relative
to it's plans for securing a chemical
engine. The fire department did not
ask for a contribution toward the
proposed purchase but sought to have
the council give assurances that the
$35 per month, which is divided
among the companies, be turned over
in a lump sum to the general treas
urer of the fire department, so that the
same may be applied on the purchase
price of any chemical secured. The
council took the matter under con-
sideration and will make decision at
the next meeting.
Paving ordinances were not in shape
for presentation to the council last
night, and consideration of these
measures was deferred until later
date. The cab license ordinance and
the purchasing agent ordinance were
passed their second reading. The fin
ance committee audited the current
bills against the city which were ap-
proved by the council and warrants
order drawn.
The council last night ratified the
payment of $1O,461.82 to George Wy
coff in payment for the paving work
n the university district. The Janu-
e.sy report of the city clerk showed |
collections during the month to have
been $585399. The report of the sex
ton Of the cemetery for January show
ed the receipts to have been $3.50.
