LThe Cornell Held Ita Regular Meeting
LasNUUt Bills Allowed.
Last evening was the time set for the
regular monthly session of the city coun
cil, and when at 7 :30 Mayor Menefee
called the meeting to order, roll call was
answered by councilmen M. T. Nolan,
Charles Lauer, L. E. Crowe, 8. S.
Johns, R. E. Saltmarshe and T. F.
Wood. '
After the reading by the recorder of
the previous minutes, a petition was
presented by John M. Marden, Pat
Fagan, J. G. Mack and others, aeking
that a crosswalk be built on Second
street, at the center of the block bound
ed by Union and Court streets. Mr.
Nolan moved that the petition be re
ferred to the committee on streets and
public property, and the motion, being
seconded by Mr. Crowe, passed.
The committee to whom had been re
ferred the petition of A. S. Bennett, ask
ing that the alley-way through his prop
erty, near the Mill creek bridge, be
condemned, recommended that, the" pe
tition be granted, provided that the
petitioner would' grant a ten-foot strip,
running north and south, on the west
side of his property. On motion of
Councilman Lauer, the report and rec
ommendation were adopted.
The condition of our streets was the
next subject for discussion, and at this
juncture Mr. Crowe moved that the
marshal be authorized to employ a man
to work upon the streets for euch time
as he may deem necessary. The remun
eration was placed at $2 per day, and
the motion carried.
The select committee on the Obarr
case next occupied the attention of the
council with their report. The commit
tee said the case of Mrs. Obarr against the
city for damages growing out of the late
8 mall pox scare, had been compromised
by the city paying Mrs. Obarr $200 in
full satisfaction. The report recom
mended that A. S. Bennett be paid $40
as an attorney fee, including costs." The
report was adopted and the recordsr
instructed to draw the- necessary "war
rant. .
A general ordinance, regulating the
mode of ' the expenditure of public
money, was then placed upon its pas
sage. The ordinance provides that all
warrants drawn upon the city shall be
paid from the general fund, except war
rants upon a fund which has been cre
ated for a special purpose. In the vote
upon the ordinance Messrs. Nolan,
Lauer, Crowe, Johns, Saltmarshe and
Wood voted aye and the ordinance was
declared passed.
A special ordinance providing for the
transfer of money from special funds to
the general, fund was also passed. By
this ordinance $340 -is transferred from
the city officers' fund, $249.40 from the
police fund, $17.60 from the current ex
pense fund, $85.45 from the fire depart
ment fund, $362.52 from the street and
sewer improvement fund.

Street improvements occupied a share
of attention last evening when the mat
ter came up of improving , the road at
the east end of Second street.- After
some discusbion it was decided to refer
the matter to the oramittee on streets
and public property with 'power to act.
This same committee wbb also instruct
ed to repair the . papering . in the city
ball, as the same bad become offensive
to the aldermen's sights This ended
the business before the meeting, and an
adjournment speedily followed. . .
There are some people who are never
positive in anything. It is-always, "I
don't know," or "I guess so.t' There is
a word of such people, and it is refresh
ing sometimes to hear a person speak as
one having convictions, like Mr. Chas.
F. Snyder, of Bangor, P., who wrote ; "I
can heartily recommend Simmons Liver
Regulator to all who' are troubled with
Dyspepsia or Liver Complaint."
