All the aldermen were present
■when Mayor Moller called the re
gular meeting to order last night
The minutes of the last regular and
the historic special meeting were
read and after some minor correc
tions had been made in the latter,
passed muster.
Communications were read from
Messrs Polet and Goggin, each offer
ing a round sum in payment in full
for their taxes the former $170 and
the latter $150 below the properly
assessed taxation. Polet threw in
fifty dollars “for good fellowship”.
The report of the city clerk and
the city treasurer indicated a credit
balance of the city to the amount
of $847.72.
Dr. Chace in his monthly report
drew attention to the custom of
Eskimos probing garbage piles as
likely to spread disease.
M’Allister certified that the fire
plant was in first class shape. He
reported one fire during the month.
Poteet was instructed to investi
gate the matter of the truss bridge
without further procrastination.
Under the head of new business
Councilman Burgh strenuously pro
tested against accepting any such
check as Polet or Goggin offered. lie
referred to the good fellowship offer
that he didn’t want the city acept a
bribe from Polet or anyone else. He
said that he would insist upon the

full payment of their taxes and they
were under assessed at that. It was
not up to Polet to say what taxes
he should pay.
Rose asked if they could accept
the checks on account. O’Neill said
that they could not.
Wesley stood by the rest of the
Council. Ross voiced a similar aspi
ration and pointed out that these
men could have sworn as to their
being unjustly taxed before the
Board of Equalization. They did
not do so. M’Allister was for mak
ing a motion to reject the checks,
but the Mayor said that that was
not necessary, Burgh said that the
Polet intimation of throwing in fifty
dollars was an insult to the city and
community. ■
The Council voted an appropria
tion of $1600 in favor of the school
board on request of the clerk. Tli'e
mayor stated that he had instructed
the clerk to draw salary warrants
and labor bills as well as the $576
to the trustees. The council ratified
the action of the Mayor.
The mayor stated that he had a
window put in the basement of the
fire house and instructed Keiling to
do so. He had put in a bill for $17
and he would ask the finance com
mittee to get an itemized bill from
Keiling.
The Mayor stated that some time
ago Mr. Hendricks had -deeded some
lots to the city in liquidation of
taxes due thereupon. These lots
were located near the wireless sta
tion. Since then these lots had been
sold to W. J. Rowe for $36 and Mr.
Hendricks believed that he should
be credited with that amount. In
asmuch qs the lots had been deeded
and were the property of the city
the claim of Mr. Hendricks was not
manifest to the city. After some
other minor matters had been dis
posed of, the council adjourned.
