CITY COUNCIL HOLDS ITS I
REGULAR WEEKLY MEETING
. I
All the councilmen were present
at the regular meeting of the city
council last night which was called
to order by Mayor Moller. After the
minutes of the preceding meeting
-were read and approved, a long
communication was read from the
Polet Stores wherein the balance
due on the taxation of this firm was
paid by check and a statement made
as to the last check tendered by A.
Polet. Mr. Polet said that Dr.
Wesley and Attorney O’Neill had
agreed to bring the matter before
the council, believed the original
tender was reasonable and that
Polet’s personal assessment was too
high. Has this been done the coun
cil would have been in a better po
sition to understand the matter. He
ridiculed the accusation made that
any bribe was intended.
Attorney O’Neill reporting for the
■week as City Attorney said the city
delinquent personal taxroli was ready
for publication and that it be pub
lished on Wednesday in the city of
ficial paper was his recommenda
tion. Referring to the Polet com
munication he disclaimed admitting
that he was over-assessed, but he
may have admitted that others wero
under assessed in proportion to Po
let.
M’Allister gave his weekly bill ot
health to the Fire Plant.
Poteet said that the timbers which
he was to investigate for a Sand
spit bridge were gone. A discus
sion followed on the propriety ot
erecting a bridge and the matter
was left with the financial com
mittee to report on the cost of
building a footbridge across Snake
river.
The bill of Chas Reed for material
for the Pumping Plant was held up
and not read, being referred by
order of the Mayor direct to the
Finance Committee.
Of the bills approved, one for wire
cutting was held up. This was for
cutting wire when the new fire
house was being transferred from
! its site on First Avenue to its pre
sent site. It was held that the com
j pany had to do this work free of
charge.
Telegrams sent to Corrigan and:
Aldrich by the Mayor with reference |
to schools and roads were ratified
by the Council.
Poteet brought up the matter of
members loafing in the city clerk’s
office. This complaint was endorsed
by Hose who said parties had com
plained to him. Attorney O’Neill
believed this had reference to him
and a wordy interchange followed
wherein all took a hand. A citizen
in the audience endorsed the com
plaint and stated one of the council
men had been complained of by a
citizen registering for interference.
After a exceedingly interesting
I
scene, the matter simmered down
to a word of warning being issued.
An animated discussion followed on
the publication of delinquent per
sonel taxes. It was finally postponed
until the first of April, the City
Attorney protesting. The Kelling
bill was approved after some diiv
cussion. This was for putting in a
window in the firehouse at a cost
of $17..
The following election officials
were appointed: Clerks: John A.
Wilson, C. C. Crooks, Judges: B. R.
Holden, W. H. Koch, C. M. Lambert.
Special officer: L. M. Peterson. The
meeting then adjourned.

RELIEF COMMISSION WORK

WASHINGTON, D. C„ March 12.—
The torpedoing of the Belgian reliet
steamer Storstad may halt the Bel
gian Relief work and millions ot
eBlgians will suffer.
READY TO l MTU.
BUENOS AIRES, March 11.—The
government announces that it has
assurances from Brazil, Peru, Chili
anti other nations that they are will
ing to join in a conference of South
American nations with a view ot
ending tlie European war. The
South American nations have been
reaping big profits front the Euro
pean war, but it is not popular with
them and they are ardent in their
desire to see it ending. While they
have to some extent sympathized
with the action of the United States
they would view the entrance ot
that country into the war with much
regret not to say alarm.
NEW YORK. March 12.—The Bel-|
gian relief commission is at a loss
how to proceed now that even their
neutral ships on such a worthy mis
sion are not respected by the Ger
man U boats. The sinking is con- i
sidered unusually wanton and pur
poseless for the Relief ship could
carry no aid to any enemy of the
Germans, but indirectly was to the ,
advantage of Germany in that the
hungry within territory occupied by
the Teutons were fed. The feeling
against these tactics is growing
and make the break which is com
ing all the more certain.
Safety first. You miners coming
