Mr.. Burke, of the Merchants Deliv-
cry system appeared before council
and requested that he be relieved from
paying the drayman's license which a
strict enforcement OF the ordinance re-
quires. The request was granted and
the ordinance will be modified some
what to suit present conditions. 1t
was suggested that the license be re-
duced from SIS to $12, which will
probably be done.
Mr.. R. B. Field appeared in behalf
Of the Spokane Eastern Trust Co. and
requested the payment Of water exten-
sion warrants held by that company.
Water extension warrants representing
S410O are still outstanding tho there is
enough money in the fund provided for
that purpose to take them up. Pay
ment was held up by the last council
pending the outcome OF the Seaman
& Quigg suit. Considerable discussion
took place which resulted in a motion
that the warrants be paid. The mo-
tion was lost the vote standing: Ersch,
Kugelman and Van Brocklin, yes; Mil
Ter and Wunder, no. The city attor-
ney held that it required four votes to
carry a motion Of this nature. The
payment OF the warrants will according
ly be held up until an order is re-
ceived from the court that they must
be paid. This will, Of course, neces-
state a suit against the city by those
holding the warrants.
Permission was granted to Mr.. Simon
and Mr.. Sanger to tap the main on the
south side of the river for domestic and
irrigation purposes.
The Leavenworth Report was award
ed the legal printing for the ensuing
year, the rate being seventy cents per
square for first insertion and thirty-fve
cents for each subsequent insertion.
The resignation Of Councilman Sny-
der was read and accepted. The name
of Mr.. Weigand was suggested but the
motion to elect him to fill the vacancy
was lost. The matter Of filling the va
csncy will be taken up at the next reg
ular meeting.
The matter OF cutting off the trian-
gle at the west end OF the park, which
will make travel much safer at that
point, was put in the hands of the
street committee, who will act in con-
junction with the committee recently
appointed at the public improvement
meeting.
Mr.. Burgett, Of the Light & Water
Co., was given permission to trim the
trees in the streets and alleys that in
terfere with their wires.
Many complaints have been received
in regard to autos speeding along the
street in front of the school houses.
Go Slow" signs were ordered placed
at each end of this stretch of street.
