The regular monthly meeting OF
the B0zeman city council was held on
Thursday evening, and as usual, con-
siderable business was transacted, al
though there were but four members,
one from each ward, present. An
election was ordered in the second
ward to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Alderman Cargill.
The matter of the dam at Mystic lake
was brought up by the mayor and
the general sentiment Of the council
| seemed to be that the matter should
be thoroughly investigated by a com
petent engineer before it should be
allowed to be completed. Mclean
and Ronnins were granted a permit
to remove their barber pole from
their present location to their pro-
posed new location in the Kruger
building. The application Of M. NJ
Black to have the matter of building
q sidewalk around his property on
Templar avenue deferred was read
and the same rejected, and the walk
ordered built forthwith. Bids from
the various county papers to do the
