COUNCIL MEETING The Old Council Conclude Their Labors and the New Take Charge of Affairs.
Mayor Hubbard, Auditor Clement and councilmen Hollowell, Sampson, Titus, Hopkins and Gottfreid were present. Brown and Teal being absent. The various bills for last month were read and referred to the finance committee. The finance committee were unable from lack of time to audit the treasurer's report and it was laid over for the new council. The committee appointed to investigate the electric light franchise also failed to get together. The business being cleared up as nearly as possible the new officers were duly installed and the council adjourned sine die. The new Mayor then called the council to order and cleared the decks for future action. The following standing committees were appointed: Finance - Hopkins, Singleton and Bradley. Street - Brown, Titus and Wonderly. Health and Police - Bradley, Gottfreid and Titus. Fire and Water - Wonderly, Brown and Gottfreid. Ordinance - Singleton, Titus and Bradley. Water Board - Wonderly, Singleton and Hopkins. Building Committee - Titus, J. R. Moyer and Singleton. M. L. Thompson was re-elected Treasurer and Dr. Hellwarth Health Officer. Titus, Hopkins and Wonderly were appointed to look after the electric light franchise. A special committee was appointed to look after the electric light franchise. The street committee was instructed to see that the jack screws belonging to Bancroft and used in jacking the Dayton street bridge up, were taken out and returned to the owner. A motion prevailed that there be no smoking in the council chambers. The Mayor then called the attention of the committees to their duties as laid down in the Charter and said that he expected them to faithfully perform such duties. He then set forth his intentions which, briefly told we're, to work for the best interests of the citizens of Falls City and give the most humble citizen the same consideration as the most influential. To look after the financial condition of the city and endeavor to reduce the expenses and increase her earnings. He also stated that during the deliberations of the council no outside person would be allowed to "butt in" except when under the head of miscellaneous business; that it was his desire to transact all necessary business as speedily as possible and if every one was allowed to give their opinion that it would be impossible. He informed the council that if any one of them failed in their duty that he would not be slow in reminding them of such neglect. The retiring Mayor was called on to make a talk and he was equal to the occasion. He said that on taking the office it was the desire of the people to improve streets and install a water system, all of which had been accomplished. He felt that he had done his duty and was not ashamed of his record. The new and the old councilmen were then called on to express themselves and for a while they had an "experience" meeting. The new councilmen pledged themselves to the cause and the old ones renewed faith.  THE FOURTH DAY OR EPOCH
It is not necessary to suppose that the Sun and the Moon were created after our Earth. Instead there is a much more reasonable way of viewing the matter. The Sun, the Moon and the Stars were created long before, but had never, up to this time, cast their light upon the Earth because of the impenetrable veil which canopied it. The appearance of the Sun and the Moon on the Fourth Day, implies that another ring broke at that time and precipitated its great mass of water and mineral upon the Earth. Great gullies were washed between the mountains. The atmosphere, heavily charged with carbon, was very favorable to the development of plant life. It is supposed that the Earth still had considerable heat in its crust, that oceans were warm and highly carboniferous, and that the air was surcharged with carbon to the extent that no breathing animal could have existed. But those very conditions were extremely favorable to gigantic growths of vegetation. This giant vegetation presumably passed into a condition resembling that of the peat-beds of our day. These beds of incipient coal afterwards came under great pressure, as one after another the rings of Earth came down in deluges, burying vegetation under slimy deposits. Our coal-fields are the result. We are not to assume that the Sun and the Moon shone on the earth then as now. But they were discernible even through heavy banks of fog and carbon laden atomsphere. The influences of the Sun and the Moon were necessary to prepare for higher forms of plant and animal life. We may as properly lay stress on the word rule as on the word made in this text. God caused the Sun to rule the day and the Moon to rule the night. Besides, symbolically, it is claimed that the Moon represents the Law Covenant rule, and the Sun the New Covenant rule.  |
