Council Meeting.
The city council held its regular
meeting Tuesday night with the
members present except Council
man Riddle, who was detained
at home with a very sick child.
Bills were read and allowed and
the resignation of Marshall John
son was accepted. It was agreed
that the Recorder should com
municate with our members of
the legislature to have the charter
changed to allow the city to re
tain one-half of the road tax
collected inside the corporation
limits. It was voted that the
legislature be asked to change
the charter so as to enable the
city to bond itself in a sum not
to exceed $20,000 for water and
light purposes. A motion also
passed to move the fire bell to
the rear of the bakery, Council
man Radek rfFering free -rent of
the ground and agree ng to ring
the curfew every night and in
case of fire. G. W. Ebbert was
granted the right to cut a tree he
had petitioned to cut. Ed GrifFa
was electod Marshal to fill out
Allen Johnson's unexpired term.
In conversation with G. T.
Boothby regarding the shipping
of stock we learned that this
town is losing many hu drods of
dollars on account of stock hav
ing to be driven to Independence
to ship. True the railroad makes
an unjust discrimination against
us in that we are charged $3.50
more for a car from here than
from Independence, but we be
lieve that if the matter was
brought before the Railroad Com
missioners something could be
done to equalize the charges.
When a carload of hogs is deliver
ed in Independence the owners
are paid for them and they pro
ceed to spend the money, or at
least the most of it, with the mer
chants there. Now if we had the
stock yards here we could reason
ably expect to have the money
to be spent here, which would
make business much better for
that reason. Mr. Boothby says
that he will put in his own stock
yards if the railroad will extend
the switch to the creamery. He
should be encouraged to do so,
even if it is necessary to give
him a bonus sufficient to offset
the differences in freight rates
and thereby keep the money here
that is spent elsewhere
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy has
given $500 to a hospital, though
she was careful to protest that its
managers, doctors and nurses
were "in error."
