City Attorney Keeler reported an examination of Justice's dockets in . i matter of claim of II. A. Pedersonof 4 $lft for affidavits made out during tlmo Logan had no attomoj. He s.tjs that the liooksshow foity affidavits, and Attorney Keeler gave It as his opinion that 25c each is a fair cluugc. Mr. Pedersen's claim wascutto$10. Apptopilations weio made fiom the electric light rund and general fund. Mr. II. E. Hatch objected to several bills of the latter and theie was some lively tilting for awhile. A bill of special officer Fames for $45 caused Mr. Hatch to Inquire who omplojcd him. It developed that none knew, other than that he was largely under Instiuctlons from the health officer and Marshal and had been for jears. Mr. Hatch moved that his claim be stricken strick-en from the list until Investigation could be made. Mr. Evans offered the explanation that he had consulted with the health officer concerning Mi. F.unes, and that gentleman had stated to him that while he was not alwavs em-(Contlnued em-(Contlnued on fifth page.) City Council. (Concluded from 1st pagil) ployed by iheiu, yet so much of his time was occupied In fumigating and (luaranllnlng that he could not seek other labor, consequently felt that his bill of u: was Just and O. K.'d It. Mr. Evans also stated that It was the City Physician's desire that Mr. Fames be placed under his direction entirely and that he could then use him to tho gratest advantage in having hav-ing the city kept clean. Mayor Robinson made the statement state-ment that It might not be advisable to raise an objection at this time If it would unsettle matters any, as Mr. Fames was at that time at the A. C. dormitory where small pox has broken out and there is fear of an epidemic at present. Councilman Carlisle warmed up and spoke in defense of Fames; said lie believed be-lieved he earned the money and should be paid. Said it might be advisable to Investigate later. And then Mr. Hatch fell all over himself. In a voice slightly lalsed fiom his usual modest tone, he urged that he wanted nothing but regulaiity (which is eminently proper) but the gentleman added that "only the other day a man said to him that any old bill could be presented and the committees com-mittees would O. K. It," and "1 am INCLINED TO HELIKVi: IT IS AIIOUT luoiiT," thus casting a serious and unwarranted rcllcction. Messrs. Quayle and Hell told him so, and none could doubt that Mr. Hell meant it thoroughly. Mr. Hatch's motion to strike out the claim was lost for want of a second. sec-ond. KVANB OIUECTS. A Dill from Hltcr Uros. for fumigating fumigat-ing truck, etc., offered Mr. Kvans the opportunity to kick. He asked whether Hlter's were selling at wholesale. whole-sale. Mr. Lindquist said that some portion of the stuff was listed at a price less than he could huy It. Mr. Evans stated that he had secured prices pri-ces at tlnee drugstores and that he could buy the stuph for much less. The bill passed. MIC. HATCH arose to another objection the meals furnished election judges. There was a little talk about this and finally dropped. Mr. natch also found something wrong with Tin-: Rki-uhlican's bill of $47 "something he couldn't quite understand." A portion of the bill was allowed and the remainder left until Mr. Turner comes home from Salt Lake. Mr. Hatch tried very hard to find Mr. Turner, but he was out of town. Mr. Hatch also Inquired as to city poundkeeper's bill, and Mr. Gnclun, who was present, read the riot act for five minutes. His bill went through. Heretofore, bills have been accepted up to the very minute of council meeting, meet-ing, and in this way committees have been placed at tnc disadvantage of having to go over them hurriedly and without proper inspection. A resolution was adopted at this meeting meet-ing requiring that all blllsshall be presented pre-sented at least three days before the night on which appropriation Is desired. de-sired. This will give ample opportunity opportun-ity for careful scrunlty and do away with much of the wrangling that Is a portion of every appropriation night. The public should take cognizance of this new turn in affairs and get their bills to the recorder's office at least three days bcfoic the regular council meeting on the llrst Wednesday of each month. The bond of Mr. Orson Smith was read and accepted. Messrs. John II. Anderson and James W. Quayle arc sureties for the W,000 asked for. Mr. Peter Ellason presented a petition peti-tion for the opening of a street on Fourth West between Fifth and S'-West S'-West and made a talk in ' same.

Mayor Robinson said that the i plant and system is practically rea for operation and as the contract wit the Hercules people calls for a thlrtv days notice before cutting out the street lights, he advised that this notice no-tice bo given at once. A motion to that affect passed unanimously. Mr. Robinson i said there aie a few little llnlshlng touches yet to be accomplished, ac-complished, but that these would take but a few days. The water has not yet been turned Into the pipe, and to properly soak tho samo will require about ten days, after this tho city lights can be turned on at any time. The machinery expert from the east has his work practically finished. |
