Wednesday, February 27, 1401 THE SUMPTER MINER CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Stringent Health Ordinance Becomes a Law. Chairman Stoddard, of the judiciary committee, submitted at the meeting of the city council Saturday evening an un signed report on the matter of fines to be imposed on violators of city ordinances. This, of course, refers to prostitution and other effinses of supposed like character. His plan Is to have the marshal notify the offenders to appear before the recorder, who will require them to put up a cash ball, the amount of the fine to be im posed, which it is hoped they will forfeit. If they refuse to fall In with this program, then they are to be arrested on complaint and go through the form of a trial, fined and assessed the costs. The report not being regular In form, the matter was re ferred to the same committee. The committee on fire and water, to which was referred the proposition from the Water company to put in ten more hydrants, was given further time in which to report. Some Informal remarks were made on the subject of revising ordinances to con form to the provisions of the new charter. The judiciary committee, to which the matter was referred, had not started on the work of revision. Chairman Stod dard, of that committee, suggested that the committee be empowered to make these necessary changes without going through the mere formality of submitting its work to the council for approval, but the suggestion was not favorably acted on. Considerable time was consumed in . reading and rereading a very excellent health ordinance, which was finally , passed. It is officially published in an other column of THE MINER today. The matter of furnishing the city a tel ephone free of charge, said to be an agree ment made with the Telephone company i when the franchise was granted, and which has not been carried out, was re ferred to the committee on streets and public property. Mr. and Mrs. Morrcll Go to California. Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Morrell, who have resided in Sumpter during the past ten , months, took their departure Monday for Rurbank, California, where they have friends and will remain for a short time, at least. Sumpter looses two musicians who have aided largely in the success of various social affairs, dances, mid public ' entertainments during their stay here. Their many friends wish them success wherever they may go and, if returning to Sumpter in the future, they will be warmely welcomed. ORDINANCE NO. 20. (New Series.)
