DISCUSSION IN COUNCIL
CAUSES RESIGNATION.
Disagreement Between Members of
Council and City Attorney Over
Question of Compelling Rail
road Company to Help Pay
Cost of Front Street
Paving.
The resignation of the city attor
ney, Gustave Jones, is in the hands of
the city recorder and will probably
be acted upon at the meeting of the
council, called for to-night. The
resignation was caused by a difference
of opinion between the city attorney
and what seems to be a majority of
the members of the city council, as to
whether or not the Iron Mountain
Railroad Company could be compelled
to pay for half the cost of the paving
of Front Street, by reason of its
ownership of the park property, ad
joining the street upon one side.
Mr. Jones has contended that the
property could not be included in the
improvemet district tax levy, but Al
dermen Wishon and Bailey are of the
opinion that the railroad may be made
to stand its share of the cost. Capt.

good thing for advertising purposes, but to be perfectly honest,
