THE CITY FIRE
LIMITS CHANGED.
Board of Health Makes Vigorous
Report Which Council Adopts
—Council Employs Dep
uty Marshal.
At a meeting of the council
Monday evening an ordinance
presented by Alderman Thomp
son changing the fire limits of
1 the city was given final reading
and passed.
4 The board of health presented
a vigorous report on the sanitary
conditions, which was adopted
/' by a unanimous vote, the council
\urging that its provisions be car
ried out to the letter.
The report states that the gen
eral sanitary condition of pri
vate property was very satisfac
tory; recommends the removal of
plank walks in the alley back of
Front street, which interfere with
the scavenger’s work; the filling
of holes in the alleys to the rear
of Hobgood & Robinson’s stable,
Kelley’s commissary and at the
junction of Ash street, that allow
standing water.
The jail vault is recommended
for attention as being in an un
sanitary condition and the filth
of the house-boats on the river is
regarded as a menace to the
health of that section and a
source of danger to the city in
that it might contaminate the
water supply.
The bond of Night Watchman
Ge). L. Robinson was approved
and the marshal was instructed
to employ and select a deputy
for the month of June at $30
per month.
r A resolution by Alderman
Braschivas adopted, authorizing
A- Atjfe pavement of Front street
f from Beech to Main by the prop
«*- erty owners thereon. A resolu
tion by Alderman Thompson
authorizing the street and alley
committee to put East Front
street in condition to receive the
pavement was also adopted.
The current accounts were al
lowed with the exception of two
from R. L. Robinson for street
work.
The council adjourned over till
Wednesday evening to meet the
Front street pavement commit
tee of property owners.

open for business with the ex
ception of the secretary of state’s
office. Hon. 0. C. Ludwig, the
deputy secretary and Democratic
nominee to succeed Mr. Crockett,
posted the following notice upon
the door of that office in the
afternoon:
“Inhcn)rof Federal Decora
tion day, which is almost univer
sally observed as a national holi
day, having been so set aside by
statutes of the United States,
this office will be closed to public
business between the hours of 1
and 5 p. m., in the same spirit
that was breathed by Francis
Miles Finch when he wrote
‘No more shall the war cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves of
our dead.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue,
Tears and love for the Gray. ’ ”
RECORD BREAKING RAIN.

inches of rain fell from midnight

derived from the thorough soak
ing, which was badly needed.
