BULKHEAD ON
Attention of tin eft council was
caleled tit its meeting last night to
the dangerous condition of the hulk
head on First street, and that body is
this afternoon making an investiga
tion of conditions there, it being the
gem-rul opinion that some imandiute
repairs arc ltecssari for the safety
id travelers and traffic.
Chairman McConnell of the police
committee suggested thilt if possible
the municipality should handle tnfrac
lions of the "bone-dry" law. and tints
the city would receive the money col
lected from fines, instead of the fed
eral government., as at present He
statist that during the past six months
the latter had collected $5,000 front
violators of this law, and if it was
legal for the city to handle these cases i
It should do so The matter was re
ferred to the judiciary committee.
The council decided to place the
entire handling of the quarantine, so
fur as it related to any expenditures
of money, in the hands of the finance
committee, who will also have an
thority to hire and discharge all stew
ards, guards, etc.
The matter of the reorganization of
the tire department was set for
Wednesday night, when a special
meeting of the council will be held
to confer with a committee from the
department and endeavor satisfactor
ily to adjust all differences.
Dr. Charles Daggett desires to build
on his lot on First street, above D
avenue, and wanted the council to
either sell him the strip of ground in
front of hiB lot or remove the dirt
now on part of tin street in order
that he could erect a concrete wall
As the municipality has no right to
dispose of any of the su et, tho
street committee was in ■trip ted to
tsoorlain the cost of cutting away the
ihjectionahle hank and report at the
next meeting
