City Council Proceedings.

The city council met in regular session Monday evening with all members present and following business was transacted: Petition of Jasper* County Telephone Company to lay cable under ground on Cullen and Susan streets was granted, and city electrician directed to prepare plans for same. City attorney instructed to prepare resolution and city engineer plans and • specifications for the improvement of alley through block 9, original* plat. > City attorney directed to submit petition to public: service commission for a reduction in the minimum light rate in city, from $1 per month to 75c per month, with a penalty of 10c added if not paid by the 10th of month. (There has been some talk of a general reduction in the light rates, it being claimed that the light plant proper is much more than selfsupporting, and the patrons are therefore entitled to a lower rate. This petition for a reduction of only 25b on the minimum rate is a very small matter indeed.) '■ A. Leopold was granted permission to use a part of. Front and Ilutsen streets for building material on filing of proper bond. The usual grist of claims were allowed.
