CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The city council met in regular seS-
on Monday evening.
There was a regular old-time merry
me had over the question of postpon-
g action on the approval of the new
Il #igh school plans. The committee re-
! Sorted that they had been unable to
4 8old a joint meeting with the school
oard and that in consequence no re-
81 ort was ready. Hansen wanted action
lken at once, report or no report. The
otion for immediate consideration
irried l. to 3. When the matter came
p on the merits later in the meeting
here was general debate involving
very place of the high school contro-
ersy and the plans were finally sent
hck to the committee. The general
lea was to call a special meeting of
he whole council with the school board
that members may thoroughly in
II brm themselves before voting. The
" &buncil realizes that when they adopt
~ pe plans their jurisdiction ceases and
IA be whole matter passes out of its
- hnds to the school board.

rank Kopidlansky by smoke at a
mall fire two weeks ago there have
Zen rumors going around of negli-
ence in connection with the death A
II otion made by klusmeyer was adopt
" requesting the mayor to investigate
& le matter to learn whether or not
iere is sufficient ground for a formal
& nd thorough inquiry into the matter.

b The nation and the state each having
Y prohibition law providing abundant
,venue by way of fines some of the
#ty officials thought that some of this
asy money ought to go into the city
8'eaSury as it could be collected with
! Ent any additional overhead expense
br policemen or attorneys When the
rdinance came up for action it was
lot entirely satisfactory to all. Nearly
yeryone wanted solee iteration either
imination or addition. The upshot
as that it went back to the committee
Or a revamping AS it read it was
early a re-iteration of the state law
nd placed no additional burdens but
nat made no difference. 1t must be
Uttered.
