Decatur was nut a city of night and that it did not bother as many people as It did to be without these bells or whistles. Mayor Dinneen suggested that the noise was not any greater than that made by lumber wagons and other big vehicles.

Commissioner Shade said it was a mean ordinance to enforce and suggested that something uut to be done about it. commissioner Robbins suggested it mieh' be repealed. All the members seemed to be feeling about the same way when one of them mentioned the fact that it wai setting late. A mo- vision, lying north of Harrison avenue tion to adjourn was made and the matter was dropped there. Job watching that, but be replied that he had never eeen the city 'engineer on the lob.

The commissioners said they would look into the matter right away. The report of Justice S. T. Keeler tor the month of May was presented and read. Commissioner Shade reported it seemed still Incomplete and recommended that the corporation counsel investigate the matter further.

His report was adopted. PARK PAYMENTS. The city comptroller was instructed to draw a warrant for (1,150 In favor of B. B. Tuttle as payment on Lincoln park and one for in favor of Louie H.

W. Klncaid and George M. Auer. The license was granted and the bond approved. On request of the board of education, J.

B. Sanderson, janitor at the Marietta street school, was given police power without pay from the city in order better to protect the school grounds. MUST REBUILD WALK. The petition of W. S.

Shirey to COB- etruct the sidewalk ordlnanced in front of his residence on West Packard between a and College, out to the curb line was refused. Shirey bought the place with the walk already built out there, which is against the clty'8 policy. A walk was recently ordlnanced for over two blocks along here and of course Shirey's walk was out of the line by considerable distance. REPAIRS ORDERED. The corporation counsel reported he had notified the Capital City Concrete Construction company to begin work repairing streets they had paved here within the next ten days and also that he had notified their bondsmen, the Title Guaranty and Surety Co.

Highway Board May Build Only 2,000 Feet NO ONE CONTRIBUTES Attitude of Property Owners Is Changed. i tu IFC way when one of them mentioned The plat of Gresham Hanks subdl- i i n.f tlafHann a AXOTHJiK AUTO FIRE TRUCK. The city is to get another auto combination chemical and truck for the fire department. This was provided for in appropriations for the year. Monday moinins Commissioner Shade mado a motion that the city clerk advertise for bids for this truck, and it carried.

Jt will go to the Xo. 2 house while No. 2 apparatus will be put in the new No. 4 house when it is completed. The ordinance providing for a pole and wire inspector and also for a tax of 25 cents a was read.

"What's this fellow doing to do?" Becker asked; "so alone and look up at the poles all ilay?" WOULD NEED A NEW MAN. It was explained what his work would be: to look after proper Insulation, placing of poles and wires and also their removal. Commissioner Ruthrauff had tnought perhaps a man from Leon Sullivan's electric light force could handle the work, but Mr. Sullivan said all his men were busy and he could not one. "Well, you can't appoint another man now until next year." explained Robbins "because his salary was not provided for in the appropriation ordinance.

I feel about like Becker on that. 1 don't see what he is going to do. 1 don't believe in putting a tax on anything and then have the money all eaten up in salary for some new office." ORDINANCE PASSED. a explained the revenue would amount to about 11,700 for pole taxea. but that the man's salary would not be over $900.

The money collected lor pole tax this year must to into the general fund arid can be used in paying tome salary, for which there has been no appropriation. The ordinance waa finally placed on its passage and carried. Becker voted against it because he stated he had had no warning of the ordinance was to be or contain and he would prefer to have looked It over Commissioner Kobbins explained he not against the ordinance but against paying out the most of the money collected as salary to the Inspector. COAL CONTRACT. The corporation counsel presented a contract to be entered Into by the city and Decatur Coal company for the year's supply at coal.

Commissioner Bobbins stated that the M. C. Coal company had felt alighted in that it did not chance to bid. "It bad the same chance as anyone else," Ruthrauff declared, "but did not bid because It misunderstood me. The morning the coal bids were opened the II.

people Informed me that owing 'to unsettled conditions with the team liters' union It could not bid at that time. I told them the bids would be referred, but they understood me to they would be rejected at that The council decided there was nothing else to do but ffo ahead and sign this contract, as the corporation counsel suggested the city, should it now break the contract, might be liable to the Decatur Coal company for its loss In profit on the sale. The M. C. people felt that they would have been able to save the city money on the deal.

MAY GO AHEAD. The corporation counsel reported, upon the request of W. H. Suffern. that he might go ahead and connect front building on Water street up with the sewer he had laid.

The attorney said that it was a peculiar case and that legally Suffern could go ahead and do the work. The council adopted the report. Ruthrauff and Becker voting no. a explained his vote by saying that while the corporation counsel governed his actions consider ably, he wanted to support his plumbing Inspector, T. P.

Padgett, whom he believed right in this case. GREENWOOD AVENUE PAVEMENT. The board of local improvements presented the ordinance for paving Decatur street from Main to Greenwood avenue and the latter avenue to the cemetery. This is a distance of 1,037 feet and the estimated coat was $9,525.16. The ordinance was placed on passage and lays over one week.

SIDEWALK WAITS A TEAR. Commissioner Becker brought in a report on the petition for a sidewalk on the east side of McClellan avenue from Main to He reported that none of the property owners who would have to pay for the walk wnre on the petition. He probably the reason for wanting a walk was to reach a grocery stor in one of the blocks. It -was reported that B. B.

James, one of the property owners, objected to the walk this yea: as the people out there were still pay 1 Ing paving assessments and also tha Dr. Hugh Vaughn objected because necessitate cutting down some fine large shade trees.

Iso It Is likely the length of the 1m- rovement will be cut to 2,000 feet. PEOPLE UNINTERESTED. The change Is made because of the of people living along that hlgh- to take a real Interest In the pro- eedings after bids were opened and IB contract awarded.

Several along le road had said they would make a ood contribution to the work; the ommlssioners expected to collect J2.000 better. This morning a move was made to et abutting property owners to affix leir names to contribution blanks, olonel J. M. Clokey and others were een. It then developed there was nothing doing." Three weeks ago.

the ommlssloners report, there was gen- ral willingness to contribute; today he enthusiasm is all vanished. Commissioners made up their minds hat this refusal to subscribe grew out the notion that the property owners oulfl have the improvement without aylng anything for It. The- commls- loners didn't like the looks of the hlng, so they directed that the im- rovement be cut more than in two. MAT PLACE IT ELSEWHERE. In fact there is talk among the com- ilssloners about putting in the stretch concrete road somewhere else.

It is eported to them they can have $2,000 they will build It along the Mt. ulaski road to the northwest of the Ity. It may be that the contracting ompany will be directed to do the ork somewhere else. HEAT HAS EFFECT ON ELDORADO PAVING Big Crack Appears Near Bad of Calvary Cemetery.

The high mark of the month was not very high, as it was next to the two lowest years on two preceding years having had ninety degress for the highest. At the same time the minimum temperature was not low. which shows that June' was a pretty even month.

CLEAR AND CLOUDY. Clear and partly cloudy days were sixteen and ten respectively, leaving only, four days of the month totally cloudy. Rain seemed to fall nearly every day a cloud showed up, as It rained on thirteen days. The precipita. tionv'was only a fraction of an inch below normal.
