of the Sanitary inspector included
in the duties of Pete Mccoy, and
the office was abolished.
The matter of an injunction
seeking to restrain the city from
dealing in ice, and planning to
throw other wrenches in the civic
machinery was touched on, but
passed over without any action
being taken or declarations made.
Regarding the city's ice plan, coun-
Gilman Jess Holm defended the
stand he had made at the last
special meeting at which time he
voted against the proposition.
According to Holm, the full
text of his motion to postpone
action was not understood, his
claim being that he had made the
motion in order to give the for
n2er ice dealers an opportunity to
offer their contemplated price re-
ductions, which were being planned
at the time Of the city took the
ice business over.
In case the injunction is granted
restraining the city from selling
ice, it is doubtful who will supply
Winslow with ice, ad the city holds
the contract with the Santa Fe to
buy ice.
The official depositary for city
funds was ordered changed from
the First National Bank to the
United Bank & Trust Company.
Some discussion was had on the
matter, and the decision was car
ried by a vote of a to 2. council
men Holm and Black voting ag-
ainst, and Mayor Douglas, council
men Gillard, Evans and Edwards
voting for the change.
The question was raised as to
whether or not a member of the
council could legally be council
man and not own property in Win
slow, councilman Blacks position
being the one in quetion. 1t was
pointed out by town attorney Saw
yer that if councilman's election
is not contested, it is not illegal
for him to hold office. To cap the
argument, Black declared that
he was a property owner.
Mrs. ]. ]. Warman appealed TO
the city to extend the gas lines
to the south side of the tracks. |
1t was pointed out that the Gas
company has held up the contem-
plated extension, pending an ar
rangement with the Fred Harvey
company. According to Mayor
Douglas, the Harvey company has |
promised to use the gas, providing
it is of proper quality, proper pre-
ssure and priced right. The new
plant has proved by actual de-
monstration that it can produce
high quality gas all the time, at |
a proper pressure, and the new |
price on gas for heating fulfills |
the rest of the requirements.
However it was promised that if |
enough property holders or per-
sons occupying Santa Fe owned |
cottages would sign up to take
the gas that the proposed pipe
line would be laid as soon as possi-
bic. 1t is believed that in that
event, the Harvey House would be
quick to take advantage of the
more modern fuel.
j. E. Kleindienst notified the
city that they would have to re-
move the water line that supplies
the cemetery with water The
water line crosses the Kleindienst
property, and Kleindienst had
previously guaranteed the city
right of way for it, provided the
city would remove the hill on one
of the streets in Kleindienst addi-
tion. A little heated discussion |
took place between the mayor and
Kleindienst during the discussion.
AS its final official action be-
fore election the council appointed |
the election board to tabulate the /
votes in the coming contest. On
the board are Mrs. Lottie Bisbee,
Mrs. Pete Henderson, Mrs. Irene
Norman, Mrs. Ada Gates, w. Mark
ham as marshal, and F. T. La
Prade as inspector.
