JOHN R. SHAW
The city council held Iti regular
meeting yesterdoy afternoon at 4
o'clock.
The flret business in order was the
case of Ranee Turner, who appealed
from the decision of, the mayor Iti'hli
eaae about a week ago.
Alderman Wheatley tock the cha'r,
and listened to a number of witnesses,
all of whom testified that it was an ev
ery-day drunken row among colored
citizens, and that it was impossible to
tell much about who started thediflicul
ty, or who was to blame. The action of
the mayor was sustained, and the line
of 85 and costs, or fifteen days on the
streets, still stands against the appellant,
Ur. Turner.
In connection with this case, Aider-
man Wheatley later during the proceed
ings, offered a resolution that a certain
witness be ordered to appear before the
council at its next meeting and show
oause why he failed to answer a logal
subpoena.
This matter out of the way, the mayor
took the chair and the regular business
proceeded.
After the reading of the minutes of
the previous meeting, which were cor
rected in gome unimportant detail and
then adopted, reports of committees
were called for.
Alderman Birins, chairman of the
special committee, appointed at the
special meeting, last Tuesday, for the
purpose of finding out the legal status
of the street railroad company as to
their right to encumber our streets with
a useless plant, reported progress, and
stated that the city attorney requested
more time to thoroughly look Into the
caso. The city attorney was given an
other week.
Alderman Bivins, chairman of the
finance committee, reported that, in liia
opinion, numerous burials of still-born
Infants In the colored cemetery looked
very suipicious. He had been informed
that many of these so-called still-born
Infants were very heavy to be what was
claimed for them. He was In favor of
the mayor appointing some physician to
examine Into this matter and report, In
duo timo, to council, at the expense of
the city.
Alderman Williams thought the idea a
good one, and was also in favor of some
physician looking into this matter. The
fact that a very large number of still
born Infants were reported as coming
from the colored population of this city
during last year looked to him as if there
was something wrong. He hoped that
council would give the matter some at
tention.
The mayor was authorized to have
some physician examino into similar
cases In the future.
Alderman Wheatley, chairman of the
committee on lights, reported that tho
tronble heretofore existing as to the
lighting of the otty had been remedied.
Everything was working smothly at
present, and he thought there would be
no further complaints.
Alderman Davenport called attention
to what appeared to him oxccsslvo
charges for horse foed for the 'animals
owned by the city.
Referred to the committee on streets.
A petition from L. B. Ritter, landlord
of the Hawkins House, was then read.
After the reading of the petition, Ur,
Ritter, who was present, was invited to
take the floor and make a statement to
council.
Ur. Ritter stated’ that be took the
hotel some nine nr ten months ago, and
agreed to pay the retiring landlord
very liberal Increase over the rent he
was paying the owners of the property.
He would never have agreed to do this
had he known that the city license bad
not been paid by his predecessor. When
he took the hotel, two months at least
of the curront year had expired, and he,
of course, supposed that all such claims
were prdd in advance. It seemed to
him that the claim of the city should be
paid by the heirs of the man who had
the hotel the first two months of the
year. There was nothing said to him
by anybody about license, and he
thought, of course, that all such bills
had been paid.
After some discussion, the petition of
Ur. Ritter was rejected.
The mayor then brought up the matter
of proper machinery to give this city a
good and sufficient supply of pure water.
He called attention to the fact that our
city Is supplied with two artesian wells,
and that another is needed. To bring
about the best results, the mayor thoifgbt
it would be wisdom to secure the best
kind of a pump. He had given the mat
ter some-considerable attention, 'and
ad.ocaled securing what could be de
pended on to do the work in a most sat
isfactory manner. The only question
was how to raise tho money to pay for a
first-class pump.
Alderman Wheatley thought that an-,
other thousand dollars, In addition to
the cash on hand for that purpose, would
put onr water works In flrst-olass condi
tion.
due, and he thought there would be
trouble In securing sufficient money.
Ho final action was taken at this meet
ing. The matter will come up again
next Monday.
Alderman Blvina presented a resolu
tion to the effeot that a committee of, T 1 ,
three, consisting of Aldermen Wheatley, LiUnieSt, I? lDGSt
Davenport and Williams, be appointed
to Interview The Times-Recobder as
to the terms on whleh that paper would
publish the full report of the proceed
ings of the council.
This resolution was adopted without
discussion.
Alderman Davenport, ohalrraan of
the committee on fires, reported the
Schumpe?t and Montgomery building aa
dangerous and unfit for occupation.
Referred to the city attorney.
