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.
