Franchise Ordinance Passes
First Reading
Permission granted to'Open Two
More Saloons
The new franchise ordinance passed
its first reading at the city council last
Monday night. The ordinance was pre
pared by J. B. Hanten, attorney for the
water company, according to the agree
ments made between the city and the
company, and was overhauled by the
special committee appointed for that
purpose. Some objections have been
raised by the company to certain changes
made in the phraseology of the docu
ment, and it is possible that trouble may
arise on this head. The matter will be
further considered before the second
reading at the next council meeting.
WINKER GETS LICENSE
The council has changed its mind in
regard to the granting of a license to W.
J. Winker. Two weeks ago it was de
cided no license could be granted, the
council dividing evenly and the mayor
ruling that no permit could be granted.
Last Monday night Mr. Frye, a repre
sentative of the Schlitz Brewing Co.,
accompanied by hits attorney, Mark W.
Sheafe, Jr., came before the council and
explained that the proposed saloon was
not to be run by the brewery, but that
Mr. Winker was to be the independent
Bnd sole owner of the business, and
further stated that the company he
represented would rather have Mr. Win-
be anxious to secure the license. The
matter was then thoroly discussed by
the council, Aldermen Lester and Nel
Bon bpth emphatically opposing the
granting of further license contending
that there were too many saloons in the
city already. Alderman Lester in his
remarks stated that if an ordinance were
introduced limiting the number of sa
loons the city to twelve, he would
vote for it. Alderman Luck reminded
the dissenting ones that he understood
that when the permit was granted to
erect the building on Oak St., it was un
derstood that a license would be granted
in due course of time. Alderman Les
ter replied that he was not aware of any
such understanding, that there was no
such understanding as far as he knew,
and that if the company had been given
to understand any such thing by the
mayor or anyone else, someone had been
overstepping his authority, as none had
a right to guarantee anysuch thing, ex
cept by authority of the council. Alder
man Ryalls moved a reconsideration of
the vote of last meeting on the question
on which a roll call was ordered.The vote
stood as follows Aye, Hawley, Pritch
ard, Guenther, Luck,. Rainey, Ryalls.
Nay, Nelson, Lester.

A test vote on the Anal question was
the same as on the motion for reconsid
eration, the voting being the same.
'-80 BOICS DONAHUE
Another saloon proposition presented
itself in the application of Jas. Donahufe
to. .open a saloon in the. QhriBtnacht
building on ftrslf avenue Northeast. Nel
son and Lester were the Only dissenti
ents to the petition. Those who voted
for Winkerjstood by Donahue in his pe
tition, which was granted.
LIGHT BtJjL SHORTOIRCUITED
A bill for February lights from the
Electric Light Co. of $163.23 met with
hard treatment at the hands of Alder
man Lester, who claimed that the ser
vice had been (poor, and ttyat the bill
was exorbitant for the seryice rendered.
The bill was left in the hands' of the
light committee for further investiga
tion.
RYAIX8 CRITICISES
Alderman Ryalls, chairman of the fi
nance committee, said that bills were
constantly presented which had not
been properly sworn to and O. IC.'d, and
that it was necessary that proper for
malities be attended to, and that unless
this was done the bills would not be al
lowed.
COUNTY SHOULD PAY THIS
A bill was presented by Dr. R. F.
Campell for $122 for the care of a pau
per suffering from diphtheria,caused a
good deal of discussion, It seems that
a man was discovered on the streets suf
fering from the malady mentioned, and
the health committee ordered Dr.Camp
bell to take care of him, guaranteeing
that the bills should be paid. Alder
man Lester said he did not object to the
action of the health committee, but con
sidered that the bill was a matter that
should be presented to the county. Feel
ing that the action of the committee
ought to be sustained Alderman Pritch
ard moved that the bill be paid, and
then referred to the county commission
ers. Alderman Lester offered a counter
motion that the bill, together with
others in the same case, be referred to
to the county, and after action by the
commissioners, the council take farther
action. The counter motion carried.

their own deficiency of intellect "and
their dishonesty, tn the beginning of
the campaign they offered the proposi
tion to the stalwarts that if we would
lay down and not make a fight on ac
of Mr. Glass, they would say nothing,
whatever about Crawford. This was,
agreed upon by both sides. Now they
come out and claim a victory for Craw
ford: There's not a stalwart in the coun
ty who didn't vote for Glass if he voted
at all. Neither did it make a particle of
difference to him which side of the
ticket he voted on. He was honest
enough to do as he agreed to do, and
laid aside his factional opinions and as
far as intention was concerned cast a
vote for Watertown and a Watertown
man for congress. Now it is up to Mr.
Glass to show whether he wanted a dele
gation with which he could put big
name on the ticket or wanted one for
the purpose of handing it to Crawford
on a platter.

Glass stands a pretty good show to win out in his congres

of both republicsin factions in Codington county. This paper
looks for Glass and Martin to receive the nomination in the June
primaries. wr^

give 11s a good clean business administration. He can be depend

fighter and will "come,across" with any pledges he may makej
Thornt Babcock one of the solid farmers residing northwest
of Watertown, called at the Saturday News office to see about his
subscription to the only unmuzzled paper in the county. Thornt
said that he liked the Saturday News because it is published on
the only navigable street in Watertown.'
John W. Martin is a good, clean man and has lil'ade a '^jod'
mayor for Watertown in the past, but we believe Alderman Letter
is entitled to the office this time. Mr. Martin has served twice a»
chief executive of our city. AldermanLesteris thoroly conversant
with the city's affairs and will make one of the best mdyors ±htf
city has ever had. We are for Lester first, but if we can'tfland
Lester, Mr. Martin is our second choice.
