 night and considerable business aside from purely routine matters received fore Mayor Lomen sounded the re- treat. All members were present when the mayor called the meeting to or der about the usual hour. The min
 utes were approved as read and there were no recommendations. The city clerk submitted his report for the
 preceding month. disclosing that the balance on hand at the close of the
 month amounted to $3.090.~
 The city attorney called attention
 to the matter of the sale of property
 on the delinquent tax list and also
 drew the attention of the council to the debtors court act and ventured the opinion that the establishment of such seat of judicial action here would cost about $20O. The debtor court act was read to the council but provisions thereof did not apparently find great favor in nhe eyes of the councilmen and Councilman McAl- lister entered vigorous protest, de- claring that the act was all in favor of the business interests and contain aJ cir srla i'm of in favor of the poor man. The balance of the city dads evidently accepted the same point of view as no action was taken in the matter.
 Councilman Burgh reported that the proposal to install private heat ing plant in the fire department had been considered but was advised against as the Wild Goose would furnish heat at much lower cost to the city. The usual accumulation of bills were disposed of through routine channels and the council took up the matter of the city printing. Bids Were submitted by the Industrial Worker and Daily Nugget hut both
 were rejected after some discussion
 wherein it was suggested that the city dispense with the official jour- nal system.
