CITY COMMISSION
SHORT SESSION HELD LAST
EVENING-LTTTIE BUSINESS
TO TRANSACT.

The city commissioners met last
night in the city hall, with Mayor
Robertson and Commissioner Henkin
present. Minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
A petition for a horse watering
trough to be placed on Egan avenue s
was read. The old trough was taken
out last "a when the paving was
laid and has never been re-installed.
The commissioners instructed the
city engineer to look over the ground
and see what was needed for the in
stallation.
Several freight bills were allowed,
also the bills for the men working
on the streets.
Commissioner Henkin brought up
the subject of a map showing water
mains, sewers, etc. He pointed out
the fact that City Engineer Trimmer
is the only man in the city who knows
where these lines are laid, and urged
that two or tire copies of a map be
made. He was informed that there
was a map that once hung in the city
hall, showing all these lines except
the storm sewer, bit where it is now
no n seems to know, but somebody
thous' t the assessor had it.
A. F. Rodewald appeared before
the commissioners and asked for a
short time license on a poolhall on
First street SW. He pointed out the
fact that he had sold the business to
r. l.. Beecham about three months
ago, and that Beecham had been
called to the %colors, so that he would
have to take the property back. In
asmuch as the license has been paid
for the year, he thought the commits
sioners could waive the provisions of
the ordinance and grant him a short
term license, as he intends to sell the
business in a short time. The com
missioners told him they would con-
slider the matter and decide definite
ly next Monday night.
Bids were opened for a loose leaf
ledger for the city auditor. F. L.
Mease bid $25 for the binder and SIS
for 5000 leaves. j. +. Stahl bid
$3.50 for the binder and SIS for
5000 leaves. The city auditor was
instructed to buy the one which best
suited his needs regardless of the
price.
Thad Page appeared before the
commissioners with a complaint IL
regard to the speed of his water me
ter. Mr.. Page seems to think tina
the thing is breaking the speed linn,
its and wants it slowed down. TIL,
commissioners informed him that thu
meters were guaranteed to be accur
ate, but that they would have il test
ed to prove its accuracy.
All records were broken when tn,
commissioners adjourned at 10 min
utes before 8 o'clock.
