CITY COUNCIL PBOCCEDINGS
At the recent meeting of the
Board- of Council, held in the Coun
cil Chamber of the City Hall, it was
decided that all violators of the city
ordinances should be tried in the fu
ture by Police Judge Earnest Mar
tin, in the police court, instead of
in the County Court, as has been the
custom heretofore.
Mayor E. B. January presided at
the meeting. The .following Coun
cilmen were present: Doyle, Ken
ney, Santen, Skillman, Henry and
Speakes, and City Attorney C. A.
McMillan.
The sum of $250. was appropriat
ed by the city toward the purchase
of an automobile for the use of Mrs.
Harriet Minaker, Visiting Nurse for
the Bourbon County Health and
"Welfare League. An ordinance per
taining to the testing of cows for
tuberculin, which was passed several
weeks ago, was amended so as to
allow veterinarians who are not
graduates but have the proper cre
dentials, to make those tests.
An order was made to refund
Philip Hopkins the sum of $5.00 as
the unexpired part of a city license.
A complaint was made by George W.
Stuart of an unfair assessment of
his property on Mt. Airy and the
matter was referred to the Griev
ance Committee, to be reported at
the next meeting.
After considerable , discussion a
majority of the CouncilmeiL. voted
that John M. Stuart be granted a
permit to hold a dance once a week
from now on until May, 1923, with
out paying an additional license
over what he paid this year. The
vote on the proposition stod four
for and two against.
The Council approved a sugges
tion that each member of the police
force be provided for the winter
with new overcoats and shoes. An
additional electrician was ordered
appointed at the fire department.
SOME SHOOTING
The Bourbon Gun Club will hold
its last shoot of the season Wednes
day afternoon, Nov. 1, and it will
sure be "some shooting." A large
crowd wilf be out, all trying to win
one of the eight trophies that .are
now on display in the Sweet Shop
window. As this is a 100-target
race, added bird handicap, all shoot
ers must be on the ground and en
tered by 2:30 to shoot for trophies.
Shooters arriving after that time
will be allowed -to shoot, but not for
vthe trophies. Visitors welcome.

'residing in Louisville made the day
a "homecoming" to see the game and
