City Enginaer Kern reported the re quest o f Mrs. Pope fo r aa opportunity to connect with the sewer at the east end o f Second street. The were willing the connection should bo made, but as th* residence w m eat- side the sewer district could not tend the mein in the street, would necessitate the creation o f new sewer district. S o the only way to make th* desired connection would be for Mr*. Pope to spend nearly fSOO in connecting with the present main and even with a new district would be only tw o properties that could be assessed. Mr. Hawkins called attention to the fact that the night marshal, although doing the moot work w m getting smaller pay than the day marshal, and awhila (star, after dm councilman had express in favor o f a raise, his motion to in crease Mr. Jackson’s salary from 870 to $76 a month adopted.

This is tha building in which the Sentinel reported that a fire had been started last weak. • A fter considerable discussion it was. decided to declare the place a nuisance and ord er the marshal to nail up the doors and reader that up- per room inaccessible.

Fire Chief Anderson reported that ho had found stove pipes running through wooden partitions without any thimble or other protection and with the wall paper touching the pipes in th* down town quarter. The stair way to the upper story o f th* Gold- on building he found very rickety and thought H would collapse if six or eight people went up at once. He said it should be torn out. Ho also advised that permausnt lad ders be constructed at the rear o f business buildings, and that sheds and small buildings, with shingles off in th* fir* lim its should bo tom down. They were there only fo r tem porary, purposes.
