anriTP.ints of the ncllce force.

eclpt of n resolution from the Flro
Department approving this plan
which the firemen first opposed on
the around that they did not wish
the Fire Department and I'ollco De
partments to bo so closely Identified.
The C'M'ncIl also grafted the re

to bring up the assessment of prop
erty at Fourth and Johnson. A
lot'thero Is assessed at about $000,
which Hoy claimed was too much,
as the hard paving was along the
side of tho lot Instead of along tho
front and that consequently the as
sessment was more than tho bene
fit to the property, lie read part
of a long opinion by the United
States Supreme Court, which ho con
tended showed that the .Marslifield
system of street assessments was Il
legal. Ilo Intimated that he was
going to enjoin tho city from col
