/ SO. He has about $4,000 on deposit
IN each of the three banks, and each
bank has given personal or CONNER
cial bonds for $4,000 to 100000,
making a total of $4,000 for all
banks, Then the Wheelright Con-
| str'lction company has deposited
100000 in cash and $4,000 of Og-
der municipal bonds toscover their
liza bility to the city for failure to
push construction work according to
contract. There is also a large
amount of materials On hand all the
time, belonging to the contractors,
but really in the possession of the
city.
Interest on Daily Balances
Mayor Peck raised the question
whether the city is entitled to- inter-
est from the banks on daily balances,
and there was some discussion of it.
The old council had released the
banks from payment of that item
for time on condition that they
would keep the city warrants at par,
and the new council may or may not
follow that plan further. There will
be some balances in the banks while
construction work is under way, and
especially for the next couple Of
months, and the matter was referred
to the finance committee. w. F.
Bergman asked to be excused from
passing on the matter because he is
interested on both sides Of the ques-
ton, but Mayor Peck said that Mr..
Bergman understands the matter
and will be fair about 1t. &
Cleanup Suggestions u
At midnight the council began
looking for a place to quit. The
mayor had at the last meeting, asked
for detailed suggestions as to how
the city should be cleaned up and
kept clean, and plans had been
handed by the Rotary club and
The Idaho Republican, but it was
SO late the mayor said these would
have to go over to the next meeting.
In the meantime, the people are ad-
monished to go right on with their
cleaning, for there is every prospect
that they will have it all to do any
how, there being little disposition
on the part of the city to organize
or employ anybody at city expense
to do anything unless it is to punish
those that fail to get results REQUIRED |
by the laws of the state and the ordi-
nances of the city.

about its enforcement" asked Repre-

AS long as we have the law it
ought to be enforced" he declared.
But when you have law that is a
national joke because of nonenforce-
ment, it is calculated to bring all
laws in contempt"
While the Volstead law was being
shot at and defended, members of
the committee claimed it was not
nearly so drastic as Illinois and
Maine prohibition statutes.
Representative Hersey, Republic
can, Maine, referring to sixty years
of prohibition in his state, told how
it had worked.

prohibition" replied Mr.. Hill, twas
