COMMON COUNCIL MEETING.

F. fl. Abbott Appointed Engineer at Light Plant and a Number of Claims Allowed. The Common Council of the City of Rensselaer met in regular session Monday evening with all members present. Not very much of importance was done except allowed several claims. Street lights were ordered in at corner of Franklin and Vine and Franklin and Webster streets. Complaint was made of the odor from Fendig’s poultry house and the matter was referred to the health officer. The names of E. W. Irwin and F. M. Abbott were voted on for the position of engineer at the light plant, which pays S6O per month and which is made vacant by the resignation of Conrad Hildebrand. Each received three votes for the position and the mayor cast the deciding vote for Abbott. The latter has not resigned as-marshal as yet, but it is understood will do so soon and the mayor will appoint his successor. The following claims were allowed: COHPOKATION FUND. H. L.
