Councilman Nolan: opened up an en
tirelynew subject by stating that the
t larshal should work , up the collections
o : road taxes. This work has been al
r lost altogether slighted heretofore, only
a nominal sum having been collected in
previous years.
The councilmen next exchanged ideas
concerning impounding stock. Clough
and Wood were of the opinion that the
officers had occasionally been over
vigilant, and that it was not necessary
to scour the pines and like far-away pre'
Ncincts at all. hours of the day or night for
j Moose cattle or horses. : '
I) The question of lighting-streets was
brought up by Mr. Wood. He said he
Jbelieved something ought to be done to
(provide light, as the nights were now
growing longer and there would be need
lor more light with the approach of
rainy weather. Consequently, all. feas
ible plans, should be considered. Mr,
Kuck thought incandescent lights would
do if they could be obtained. This
brought Mr. Champlin to his feet who
statei the committee was waiting for the
president of the Electric Light Co. (Mr.
French) to return to ascertain definitely
what could be done.
Marshal Lauer had with him a report
specifying twelve dangerous and defec
tive sidewalks. ; A motion was carried
that these walks be declared dangerous
and tne owners notified by publication
to repair the same. : -
