GANTY & FRANDSON
There was very little done at the1
meeting of the City Council last
night but several very Important
things were said For Instance
Mayor Shea reported that he had dis
covered by going about the town in
his capacity of fire chief that the
wiring of the town was In a very dan
gerous condition; that in very many
cases there was found to be no tub
ing where the wires passed through
celling or walls In private buildings,
he had discovered in several places
where the wood was actually charred
by the heat of the wires. One nota
ble instance was the Presbyterian
church. When Rev. Mr. Good's at
tention had been called to it he had
at once put men to work to properly
wire the place. There were other In
stances where long ropes of wiro
were used to carry the Incandescent
lamp from room to room and where
the door between was closed upon
the wire and the insulation worn off
and danger resulted. Also where
the ropes of wire were knotted and
worn and short circuit resulted. Of
ficers were warned to keep a sharp
lookout. No other action was taken.
It was stated that an attempt to com
pell the observance of the law la this
regard might te a good thing in two
wiys the second way being replenish
ment of the treasury.
The other thing of importance oaid
was that there were bills due which
there was no money in the treasury to
meet. Mayor Shea said It was up to
the Ways and Means committee to find
the ways and means to meet them. He
advised to get busy. The money must
be gotten in somehow from somewhere",
the taxes must be collected or some
thing done as the situation was very
bad.
Mr. Shaw, chairman of the ways and
means committee was not present and
no action was tskrn.
Mr. Snyder called attention to the fact
that only a small proportion of the poll
taxes had been collected. He thought
that Chief Dillon should be stirred up.
He did not beliove in making one man
pay poll tax and permitting his neigh
bor to go free. If ALL citizens were
not to be made to nay alike he would
next year refuse to pay his own.
Mr. Dillon said that more poll taxes
had been collected thus far this year
than in the entire year at aoy time
before.
Mr. Snyder said that bad nothing: to
do with it. Mr. Dillon ha<l been
engaged to coiloot the poll tax and wa<
given a liberal commission for 90 doing
and he did net think the collection
should be limited to the easy ones.
All this discussion was called out
by the report of the city treasury
which showed a deficit of $150 and a
requisition from the school board
for $650 for the month of Novem
ber ? with no money to give them.
A proposition was read from
Messrs. Hill & Wettrlck, who are
making the survey of the townslte,
to make a complete survey of the
town Including the Moore tract,
and to furnish a large map for $200,
saying that it could be done at this
figure now while the surveyors were
here and the work would dovetail
with the work on which they are en
gaged, while at any othor time It
would qost much more
It was agreed that the map was
much needed but the condition of
the treasury would not permit It to
be undertaken at this time. There
was also a proposition from the same
firm to make a survey rf the ceme
tery necessary to be presented to tbo
war department in connection with
the proposed petition to have the re
serve set aside. This would cost $75.
Both propositions were referred to
the Ways and Means committee.
Mr. L. S. Harrison was present
representing a number of citizens
who desire to flood the ball park to
make a skating rink. The matter
was referred to the Public Works
and Public Property committee with
power to act.
