CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

The regular meeting of the city council was held Monday evening and considerable business came before the Board. They adjourned to meet again Wednesday evening, but it was decided Wednesday afternoon not to meet. There will probably be no meeting now until the next regular. Petitions for arc lights at Plum and Franklin streets and Elm and Webster streets were referred td the electric light committee. B. Forsythe petitioned for a sewer from his store to the river to run through the alley in block 4. The petition was granted, the city agreeing to pay SSO of the cost. The ministers of the city presented a petition signed by 303 voters asking that a curfew ordinance be adopted. The petition was granted and an ordinance was ordered drafted by the city attorney. It will be passed at next meeting. The resignation of E. P. Honan as fire chief was accepted and the office declared vacant. The fire department was ordered to recommend a successor. The treasurer's report for the month ending June 11th shows a balance in the corporation fund of $4,550.06, $082,25 in the road fund, and the electric light fund overdrawn $8,780,27. We are informed that the above figures in the electric light fund represent the amount that has been paid out; Treasurer Starr has never bad the receipts of the electric light or waterworks funds turned over to him, therefore knows nothing about the amount that has been collected in these two funds. We understand McCoy A Co's.’ Bank have collected all this fund, pending the passage of the waterworks and electric light ordinance and final arrangements for its distribution. t An ordinance defining the duties of the fire warden was read the second time. An ordinance was introduced and received its first reading providing a penalty for obstructing Makemself ditch by throwing trash in the same. J.F. Wallick was before the council and outlined a plan fora proposed park system to cost SIO,OOO. Briefly bls plan is to buys tract of land down the river and construct an artificial lake of ten acres to connect With the river. The river will be dredged to the creamery bridge, where a boat landing will be made and small passenger steamers placed in the river to carry passengers to and from the park, where boats will play tn the lake. The trees in the park will furnish shade for pleasure seekers. Wallick proposes to form a stock company with a capital of SIO,OOO, he to put in $5,000, the other members or the company the balance. They ask the city to assist in blowing out the rock in the river. The members of the council all seemed favorable to the project and the matter was referred to the committee on public property for further investigation as to the cost, etc. The ctotnpany expects to derive their revenue from the hire of boats, etc. The city marshal reported several defective sidewalks. The mayor was ordered to enter into contract with the Monon for cfty water and ten incandescent lights, at $350 per year. He was also ordered to close a contract with G- E. Marshall for city water for a 2-horse power motor, three kitchen faucets, one office faucet, and 100 feet of sprinkling privilege fur $36 a year, the contract to run for five years.

The contract for the construction of the Van

Rensselaer street sewer was awarded to John H. Jessen at 19 cents per foot. And $5,50 each for catch basin. , ■ A number of bids to furnish coal for the power house were received, and they were referred to the proper committee to figure out which bid was the lowest. A bid was received to furnish the city with sewer pipe, but being considered too high, it was rejected. The following bills were allowed: D. H. Yeoman, oak lumber ...... sl7 06 E.
