We join in hearty good wishes to Mr. and Mrs. King who will make their home with Mrs. Travis. COUNCIL MEETING
Mayor Griffin, Auditor McPherrin, Councilmen Wonderly, Brown, Gottfreid, and Singleton. Titus, Bradley and Hopkins being absent. The usual order of business was disposed of and reports of committees called for. The finance committee had failed to audit the books of former auditor Clement and as the matter had dragged along for some months without any effort to make the audit a motion was sustained that Mr. Clements bondsmen be released. The water question was discussed at some length and it was generally agreed that it would be advisable for the safety of the town and the convenience of the water users that a pipe line be laid up Teal Creek in order to furnish an adequate supply of water for irrigation and in case of fire. There are several hundred feet of pipe left from the Glaze creek line as it appears that there was some overestimate when the pipe was ordered for that purpose. It is useless for any other purpose as it is not of sufficient strength to stand the pressure lower down the line. The water superintendent was again urged to turn the water off from those who had failed to pay their rent. There was more talk about the collection of overdue street improvement assessment, which as usual resulted in more talk. The city attorney re-asserted that he was almost ready to begin. This is a matter that is being watched with much interest and many are anxious for the "bear-fight" to begin. It appears that the records, in days past were kept in a very peculiar manner, if in fact they were kept at all and the city attorney finds it difficult to obtain necessary foundation on which to stand. The auditor's and the treasurer's reports were read and approved and many other matters of minor importance transacted. The session was a long one and it was near midnight ere they adjourned.   |
