is at once apparent when it is known
that one campfire carelessly: left in
the forests can do thousands of dol

Every - camper and ...every traveler
through the forests will be admon

the loyalty of the people to" the state
will prompt every citizen to be in the

, Final steps looking toward ' the
year's chief improvement work were
taken. This includes sidewalks, sew
ers and paving and July 16 was set
as the time for filing, remonstrances
against the main bulk of the improve
ment work, but effort to lump as
much as possible of this work was
taken on Mr. Sargent's motion in ord
er to obtain better prices. Reading of
commisioners' reports occupied con
siderable time, as a vast amount of
work in various sections of the city
is about to be undertaken. . . ..
The reports of committees brough
the first deathblow to two prominent
proposed ordinances. The fire marsh
al ordinance met , defeat in commit
tee and the - council - finally decapi
tated the instrument The same was
true of the ordinance forbidding card
tables in all pool halls', the commit
tee calling the matter class legisla
tion and the council after refused to
pass it.
A recommendation for cells in the
new rear corridor of the county jail
came from the police committee fol
lowing a letter to the council by May-'
or Hall recently, in which the unsan- j
itary condition and inefficiencies of
the present jail were set out. The j
committee , recommended that the
chief '8 office be moved to the water
department, but urged above all that
'more cells be built., r' '' -

Mayor Hall opinioned that the abut

demnation, it might look better to the
jury if the pipe were covered and
furthermore, the pipe liad been . ex
posed too long already to teams that
might break it in hauling over it. Mr.
Sargent again wanted to know if it
wasn't queer that after two years of.
exposure, he pipe should be covered
right now.' Mr. Hall retorted wtilrthe
remark that he had gone to church
last Sunday for the first time in tour
years which was also queer, but that
it was hot queer that the city offi
cials should try. to protect the City's
interests. . ; " .; '
The matter was finally brought to
a focus without further passing of
caustic remarks when a vote was tak
en to pay the bills. An amendment
was introduced by Sargent that the
bills be referred to committees, which
went to a tie voe, the mayor oppos
ing. : The -original question came to
a tie, and the mayor again voted, pay
ing the bills to the workmen, -who
had done their part in good faith,
said. The ' flareup was one of two
diplomatic but i ironical lambastings
that members of the council got from
the mayor. '
An amendment to the street traffic
ordinance was brought up which re
quires that all teams hauling gravel,
crushed rock and other similar loads
must have a tight box to haul it in.
An amendment governing the plac
ing of pins in pavement whereby to
hitch apparatus to move houses came
up, Borne objecting to the ordinance
because it called for cement refill
ing rather thBn bitumen. The ordi
nance passed however.
Various bills were ordered paid and
other routine matter gone into, but
the council will meet a week hence to
go over the unfinished business.
