tie. who recently put a new sedan car
in the service. which brought TO light
the fact that Mr.. Chettle was on the
same footing as the others engaged
in the business so far rs the license
was concerned.
The question of those operating
from other points into Ely was dis
cussed and this again raised the easo
of C. ID. Vautrin, who operates from
Ely but makes a speciality of long
distance calls and therefore refused
to pay a city license.
1t was decided that all such oper-
ators come within the city ordinance
and the city marshal was directed 70
force the immediate payment of the
six months term and To report any
cases of violation to the city attorney,
who was directed to take the neces-
sary legal steps against the offenders.
BY this not only the regular jitney
men in Ely are included but all OPP
orators, such as the stage from To-
nopah 10 Ely. Yautrin and in short all
common carriers whose business
brings them within the city limits.
Mr.. Eddy then took up with the
council the matter of grayeling the
sidewalk where he resides on Canyon
street and The mayor and city council
decided to ineluoe hat section in the
next personal visit made about the
city ON such matters and give ii the
needed attention.
The insurance of the ~grandstand i'm
the municipal park was next taken up
and affair GnDaa GIfnht 1fcangof1. -
was laid over for further inyestiga-
ton.
Attention was called to the eopdis
tion of the board walk on hurry
street at the east side of the American
cafe and the city attorney strongly
urged the mayor and council to take
immediate action in the matter of
this repair. advising them hat if in
jury should occur to any person while
the sidewalk is in the condition which
now exists the city would be absolute
ly liable. City Marshal Jackson was
directed to see that the walk is inn
mediately made safe by temporarily
filling in the hole with dirt. and this
has now been done. The permanent
repair will be given attention a. early
as possible.
The question of the coal supply
was taken up and Mayor Gallagher
said some reduction could be secured
by the purchase of half a carload, or
about twenty-five tons. i'm one lot. He
said thai the half carload purchased
last fall did not meet the demand for
the winter but ran only until some
time in February. when additional
coal had 10 be purchased. Council
man West took the view that pur.
chases of such a nature should be
made through the regular coal deal
ers. who are permanently engaged i'm
that line, and not through those who
merely made a side line of the coal
business. 1t was left in Mayor Gala
gher's hands TO arrange for the need
ed supply and he will report ut the
q meeting.
The time-honored subject of dog
licenses was next in order and Mayor
Gallagher said he had brought this
particular matter up so often it was
getting threadbare. but he believed 1t

the hands of the marshal. who was
directed to enforce the collection of
dog licenses and take all necessary
steps to rid the city of dogs on which
no license IS paid. According to the
city clerks records. Miss Fannie Gu
pid said that to date licenses had been
paid on a total of seventeen dogs in
the city for this year.
A request was presented through
Mayor Gallagher by officers of the
state farm bureau to use the city hall
next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day for the purpose of holding meet
ings i'm the interest Of the farm bu-
reau work in this section. The re
quest was granted.
II was decided to hol dan informal
meeting between the mayor, council
men, city engineer and city attorney
tomorrow night for the purpose o:
going over city affairs in general, and
particularly in reference to the pro
posed bond issue, as told in another
column of this issue of the News. The
