Committee Meets First
Time in 22 Years
Councilman Magulre, Chairman of
Street-cleaning Body, and Mem
bers Laugh Over Heavy Docu
ments. T-iE biggest joke of the official season
was pulled off at the City Hall yes
terday afternoon when Councilman Ma
gulre called the committee on street
cleaning to order. The members pres
ent were Councilmen Joy. Burgard, Wil
helm and Jennings. It developed that
It waa the first session of this particu
lar committee since 1SS9. The papers
collected in the Auditor's box were
brown and covered with cobwebs.
Fifteen yeara ago a man wrote to the
committee asking that a street be
sprinkled, as he said the dust was bad
thereon.
"I move that this petition be granted."
said Councilman Burgard, who has a
keen aense of humor. "The man has
waited 15 years for this to be done and
I think it should be done at once."
"I second that motion." said Council
man Joy, .who also likes humor. "We
want to keep up the City Council's repu
tation for rapid action."
A set of questions and answers by
Alex Donaldson, who still holds the posi
tion of superintendent of the street
cleaning department, was found, dated
1896. It provided data that evidently
had been asked for by the Council at
that time, but it was pigeon-holed in
the committee box and there It lay until
yesterday afternoon.
"I think the proper action In this in
stance." said Councilman Jennings, "is
to refer It to the City Hall reporters.
They apparently have just as much juris
diction as we have. It looks aa though
this committee is a dead one; just meets
once In IS years to hold its job."
"I move that it be sont over across
the street to the barber shop to have its
whiskers trimmed," said Councilman
Joy.
"I move to amend, that It be ordered

embalmed by Councilman Dunning," said
Councilman Burgard. "He will under

A musty, time-worn document, detail
ing the number of horses in the depart
ment 12 years ago, giving their names
and calling attention to one named Liz
zie, provoked some comment among the
members. Lizzie's foot was badly
swollen at the time.
"Poor Lizzie 1" exclaimed Councilman
Wllhelm. "She probably has gone
through the incinerator long before
now."
"Maybe she is still waiting for a re
port of this committee on how her foot
may be treated and the swelling re
duced." suggested Councilman Joy.
"Seriously speaking, what are the
duties of tills committee?" asked Chair
man Magulre, who eo.w his claims to
honor as committee head about to go
glimmering.
"Don't speak seriously about it," re
plied Councilman Burgard, "the duties
of this committee ere nothing it has
none. We might ask the Mayor, who
appointed us, or the City Attorney mlsht
give us an opinion as to our standing,
but I don't think we have any stand
ins." Not to be the only victims of the Joke,
the members referred to the Executive
Board some of the musty papers, ao
that the members of the street-cleaning
committee of the board may share in
the fun.

The Southern Paciflo Company and the

controversy that has caused the breach
