On account of the f.ct that so lhi.-i.' esenec etra,t ,,1 tinctures ,re mg ued to alleviatn the tliir,. , , by the -bone ,ry" state, the council U nigh, gitt of such essences, rxlrar(l) r tores, etc., which contain a ex , ,,r five per cent alcohol by V(,u The ordinance caused Vn,,iderable comment in that ,t proposed to include only drug stores. It was thought l,v . number of eonneilmon that g.norul grocery stores should be included ia. much as they sell large quantities of essences and extracts for family use The proposed ordinance wuld ,, sidor also the selling , medical ,.(m pouuds that exceed the live per cent limit of alcohol. This ordinance is the outcome of the sale bv certain drug stores of jamaira ginger, peppermint, etc., to boys. Some of the essoino uii. extinct ure declared to contain as high us S5 per cent alcohol, ami the ordi nance proposed to eliminate this sale. In iew of the rising cost of living in general, a resolution wni introduced in the council giving the men w, wur( in the street department a raise in wages of twenty five cents a day. The men are now receiving ifj a d;i'v and because bread has gone up an that fif teen cents will only buy two loaves when it. bought lliroe before, and oth er things necessary have gone iqi in proportion, it was deemed only justice that these men should be given wages that will eimble them to live. This resolution caused considerable discussion and practically nil the coun oilmen took a fling at it. They were nil agreed that the men deserved a raise but to determine just how much was tho -question. Councilman McClelland moved thnt the pay he made on a basis of thirty cents and hour. The resolution with the amendment was referred to a committee composed of the chairmen of the committees on streets, sewers und bridges for adjustment. (ieneral routine business occupied the greater portion of tho meeting. New Fire Ordinance Introduced In Council Gives Chief Much Power In line with the new regulations of the state law for the prevention of fire, there wns introduced in the city coun cil 'at its regular meeting last, night an ordinance thnt will make City Fire Chief 1 1 lit ton an Assistunt State Fire Marshal, with power to require the owners of buildings to observe the reg ulations for fire prevention ns provided by the city ordinances and by the state fire marshal law. The fire chief by virtue of his office is a deputy ire warden, and the ordi nance now introduced and passed to its second reading is in compliance with tho new law which was passed at the recent legislature. The aim of the state law is to reuuire the cleaning up of rubbish, and to remove combustible materials from places where they may cause fire. The duty of seeing that this work is done is.uti to the local fire marshal, who works under the direction of the state fire marshal and two deputies. The ordinance was referred to the committee on fire and water and it is probable thnt it will pass. The new state law goes into effect on May 21. and tho city ordinance is required to give the fire chief -the power of fire marshal within the corporate limits of the city. Where there is no organized fire department, police officers are iven the authority of a fire marchai. Fire Chief Hutton, when tho ordi nance becomes effective, will have power to order dangerous fire traps cleaned up and made to comply with the regulations for tho prevention of fire. PERSONALS B. A.
