THE TOWN DADDIES.

A Meeting at Which Important Matters Were Discussed.

The Town Council met in regular cession Wednesday evening.  There were present 
Messrs. Pence, Richards and Platt.  

Wm. Lauer, the Front street hardware man, presented a written request for a 
street crossing at or near his place of business.  The matter was referred to 
the Street Committee with the recommendation that immediate action be taken.  

W. F. Eberle appeared before the Council with a petition bearing the names of 
many citizens, praying the Council to take steps towards providing the town 
with some sort of apparatus as a protection against fire.  The petition was 
discussed at some length by members of the Council, and while the general 
sentiment seemed to be that the town should have a well equipped volunteer fire 
department, the fact stared the town daddies square in the face that the 
municipal exchequer is not in a very robust condition just now, and that it 
would be better enlist the business men in the project and accomplish the 
desired end by private subscriptions, than for the Council to saddle an 
additional indebtedness on the town.  The petition was referred to the proper 
committee.

Reports of officers were read and referred.  Some small bills were allowed and 
others referred to the Finance Committee.
