I. EEIGEL ENGAGED According to the action taken at a joint session of the Carbondale councils last evening, the city of Carbondale will have nothing to do with the framing of a bill, looking toward the extinguishing of the mine fire. The bill, if passed, was to have been presented to the state legislature. The'members of councils claim that the work of preparing this act Is distinctly that of the commission apr pointed by the state to investigate the fire conditions; that the appropriation it receives is ample to pay for the service of an expert attorney, and resents the action of the commission In trying to burden the city officials of Carbondale with the work. A resolution was instructing the city solicitor to engage additional coiftisel to draft the act, but it was voted down after a long discussion.

However, the councils are willing to furnish maps as requested by the commission, and a motion prevailed to engage J. I. Reigel to assist the city engineer in making the maps. In doing this the councilmen think they have done their duty. FOX EARS CUPPED FOR BOUNTY FEES C.
