drawn out, although at times quite
lively and interesting.
Judge Bell, j. + Mccoy and J. M.
Silvers, constituting committee from
the Lions club. entered vigorous pro-
test against the indiscriminate build
ing practices which prevail in the
city, and especially within the fire Lin
its, Judge Bell showing that by the
construction of faulty buildings the
insurance rate is raised on many other
creditable buildings, and thus property
owners who are in NO way to blame
are made to suffer great Hardship
through the carelessness and lack of
pride Of ono individual. Especial ref
erence was made to the building 70
GENTLY constructed by ]. 8. Woody At
the corner of Grand avenue and Ninth
street.
In the discussion that followed Il
was brought out the city ordinances
on this and many other subjects were
very defective, and Mayor Mcdonald
gave it as his opinion that tho ordi-
nances Of the city should be revised
and recodified, and while others
agreed with him, the heavy expense Of
such an undertaking was not consid-
cred warranted at this time.
Judge Noonan appeared in behalf of
NJ. DeMerschman, whose house was
damaged last winter by the freezing
and bursting of water pipes. The
matter was before the council once
before, and no action taken, and

sion the board take some definite &C.
tion in the matter. They did. They
disallowed the bill by unanimous vote.

of fifty dollars.
The matter of the purchase of a two

brought to the attention of the council
by the agent of the manufacturers,

board in behalf of band for the
city, and made an able presentation
OF this annually recurring subject. He
said band Of amateur musicians to
the number of IL or Is men could be
furnished for about 5000 per month
during the summer months, and this
would entitle our people to two con.
