II m-. A-"®? 'fc Si' 't^PI^«feS!(f 'J s«ss«r VOL. 6, NO. 38 CONVENE 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.

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. 3&4T •'t,. 4', $1 2te«rf ^Tf The Quiet Baby Gets No Miik, A Vr- Aurora Auctlon Sale /'V Threonines W. of Kampeska on Monday March 16, '08.

T.- v" 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.
