They tried to tilt the lid for the
state bowling tournament up at the
meeting of the common council early
this morning. The matter came up just
at the shank Of the morning. Long
about a quarter after twelve. just the
time when in the old days the real con-
vivial fellows got chummy with the
barkeep and began to pull the old
stuff "Chure, all right Bill, chu know
we've been frens for long time, :"
and such stuff. Most of the aldermen
had just about scrapped themselves
into a state of coma when Alderman
D. Harry Smith pulled the lid fitting
stunt. The eighth ward alderman
when he is not alternating is a paint
er and he is accustomed to getting
close into the crevices and taking risks
so he was selected to pull the lid tilt
ing stunt. The council had worked the
puzzling and racking question of re-
districting off it's mind and was getting
ready to adjourn. One or two of the
aldermen had slipped out the side door
and was looking for an owl car when
Smith, who was near the door and
ready to start, casually remarked
that he would "move that all places
of business in the city, irrespective Of
their lines-get the irrespective--be
permitted to remain open until one
O'Clock in the morning during the
state bowling tournament
1t was pretty broad and some of the
people who sat about thought that
there was great business in sight. The
motion would include the steam laund-
ries, the delieatessen shops, the cloth
ing stores, the manicure places, the
police Office and the Jail, the postofice
and lot of other places, irrespective
of their line of business.
You wouldn t suggest that this in
clude thirst parlors," chimed in Alder
man Bounsall. The sickly grin which
always comes to the face of some of
the aldermen when they have to decide
p saloon question was back on the job
in a hurry Somehow" continued
Bounsall, 81 thought that when they
had a state bowling tournament they
bowled on the alleys and not in the
alleys" The mayor appeared little
nervous and here inserted the good
word "They do it in all the other
cities. BY this time there was a
second to the motion. No one suggest
ed the horror of the poor fellow from
Milwaukee who might find about one
O'Clock in the morning that he had
lost hat and that there was no place
for him to buy it or that he had failed
to send postal card to his best girl
and there was no place open to send it
from, or that he had forgotten clean
collar and just couldn't find any place
to get it.
Alderman Smith insisted that the
question be put to vote, but Just
about that time Alderman Tully re-
membered that South street was to be
opened some time and he launched in
to an oratorical fight in regard to the
rights of property owners that Just
literally drowned out the lid fitting
episode. The motion is still on the
minutes of the council, but it remains
undisposed of.
The meeting of the council was ex-
tended. Long drawn out In fact
they drew it out for hours. The big
snag of the evening was the re-
districting question mentioned in an
other column but there were lot of
other things. The council spent an
hour paying Fritz Scbu, former city
employee, $4,000 for injuries receiv-
ed when he was run down by an auto
mobile while in the employ of the city.
The argument came as to who should
pay and how much they should pay
and after it was all over the city paid
the $4,000 and the Hale Grocery
store agreed to split ffty-ffty in MAX
ing up the total of the compensation.
The settlement is subject to the sane
ton of the industrial commission.
Kick on Exhaust Steam.
People residing in the neighborhood
of the plant Of the Central Leather
company, sent numerously signed
protest against the noise made by the
exhaust steam from the big plant. 1t
was declared that it was disturbing
the people at night and that loss of
sleep was undermining their health.
The whole question went to the com
mittee on Judiciary and ordinance and
an early report is expected.
The members of the fraternal order
of Eagles and fourteen other property
owners in the neighborhood of the
Park street sewer outlet protested
against the outlet, declaring that it
would be damage to their property
