City Council Fix License for FiveGallon Shop at si,ooo—Experts to Audit Treasurer’s Books. At the regular meeting of the city council Monday evening all members were present, except Councilman Gerber, who was out of town. A surprise was sprung in the way of the introduction of an ordinance, fixing a license fee of SI,OOO for a wholesale liquor dealer, and the suspension of rules and passage of the ordinanoe by the unanimous vote of the council. The light superintendent was instructed to install lights at the Indian school at St. Joseph’s College, the latter advancing the necessary money to install said lights. The mayor was authorized to contract with the Indiana Audit Co., to audit the books of the city treasurer. It is proposed to pay $12.50 per day to the expert for conducting this audit and furnish a competent clerk to assist, in addition to the above expense. No time limit is stated for doing the work, and it may take several weeks to complete the work, or it may be done in a week’s time. It seems the auditing committee appointed to audit these books did not act, hence the £bove action. It is intended to go back to 1902. we understand.
