ing his Investigations the ola
walk in front of the burned dis
trict had been rebuilt and that
he had dropped the entire ques-
ton.
This report brought ON a gem
eral discussion of the entire dock
question and the matter was
discussed from all angles and
viewpoints and finally settled by
Councilman Litwin making a mo-
ton that the city have sign
painted and put up at the west
end of the dock notifying the pub
lie that the dock is private prop
erty and that they used it at their
own peril as the city will not be
responsible for any damages that
might arise. The motion was
carried.
Water Commissioner Maritime
dis reported that he had built a
brick chimney on the hose house
and that a house had been con-
structed at the Thorn creek dam
for the use of a watchman. The
expenditures for the different de-
partments under his charge for
the month were S3O4.OO.
The clerk reported water col
lections for the month at S9l8.13.
The light committee reported
that a street light had been in
stalled at the Tenth street dock.
A petition asking for a street
light at the corner of Fifteenth
street and Jefferson avenue was
referred to the light committee.
This, with the auditing of the bills
practically completed the busi-
ness transacted, although a few
other matters of minor import
ancc were discussed.

the old cemetery ground or has
it reverted back to the Methodist
church, the original owners?
This is a question which was
raised at the meeting of the city
council last evening and which
will have to be settled in the
near future.
The question was raised by
r. b. Norris, as attorney for the
church, in a communication pre-
sented to the council wherein it
was claimed that the property in
question, about two acres, was
purchased by the church and
fitted up by it for a cemetery and
maintained by it as such until it
was turned over to the Wood
lawn cemetery association. That
it was conveyed to the associa-
tion to be used as a cemetery and
when the association conveyed il
t. the city it was as a cemetery.
That the association had no
power to convey it to the city for
any other purpose and that when
the city abandoned the ground
for cemetery purposes and moved
the bodies to the new cemetery it
lost title to the ground and the
title reverted back to the Meth
odist church association.
Mr.. Norris asked that the city
save the expense of a suit to settle
the title by conveying the land
back to the church association.
After some discussion the COM
munication was referred to the
city attorney.
Another important matter
which came before the council
was the question of a volunteer
fire department. The fire and
water committee, acting with
some of the members of the old
volunteer company, submitted a
plan to form a company con-
sisting of a chief and nine men.
The council is to appoint the
chief and he is to select the other
members of the company. The
members of the company are
each to be paid one dollar per
month for attending practice
meetings and are to be allowed a
compensation for their services at
fires.
They are to be paid one dollar
each for false alarms and a sum
to be fixed later for fires where
the chemical engine alone is
used and a still larger sum for
fires where water is used, depend
ing i'm both Instances upon the
length of time the members work.
The council appointed A. E.
Wunderlich as fire chief. He is
TO name the members of the COM
pany and in connection with the
fire committee work out the de-
tails in regard to compensation.
Another important piece of
business was the passage, under
suspension of the rules, of an or
dinance placing all consumption
of water in the city on a meter
basis. This ordinance goes into
effect as soon as it is published
and the city will begin at once to
install meters. These will have
To be paid for by the property
owners and will cost nine dollars
each if paid for at the time of the
installation and ten dollars each
if paid for in monthly install
ments. The ordinance is long
one and provides. the rates TO be
charged for the use Of water and
rules and regulations which must
be observed by the consumers.
Councilman Cook of the street
and alley committee, to which al
the last meeting was referred the
question of the walk along the
dock, reported that he had spent
considerable time in looking the
matter up and had come TO tho
conclusion that the city should
build a walk along the wagOr
bridge across the st. Marie.
