twenty r cent. of the amount due collec-
tors cou d be paid at the option of the
Council, when ninet per cent. of the
tax had been collect , and the balance
when the books were closed. He thought
it was not right that so long a time
should be allowed property-owners in
which to pay their taxes. He thought the
method of percentage for collectors was
better then a salary. as City Attorney
Light had stated that under the latter
plan the books must beturned over at the
end of the ear. whether they were closed
or not. whi e the collector could receive
his salary.
Couuci man Fox reported that he had

The profile and report ware accepted.
The cost of relaying the sewcr for a
distance of forty feet through the street,
would be about $4”. and the committee.
was authorized to do the work.
("ouncilman Golden said the Board
would doubtless remember the light in
the Legislature over the trolley road oing
under the Washington street rel road
tracks. Ile spoke of the entertainment
provided at the Mnhnckemo Hotel and
that it was necessary to take rt drive. He
presented hills. which the Council ordered
id. Mr. Golden said that City Attorney
lght should be well paid for the valuable
services he had rendered In the fight
against the trolley companies, and stated
that but for his earnest efforts they would
undoubtedly not have stood their oint.
Mr. Light modestly d eclelnied el the
credit for the result, and said that Mr.
Golden aided materially in brIngIng it
about.
Councilman Golden sold Marvin Ilro‘
there were anxious to begin excavation
for their new building on Washington
street. and would give the gravel to the
city if it was placed on State street. The
street commissioner said one plan called
for a IIII of three feet from State to
Monroe" street and of llve feet from
Spring street to the step at the approach
to thcdcpot. The latter would require
4,000 loads of earth. and would cost possib
ly sum. Mr. Marvin. it was thought.
would hear one—half the expense. The
street committee was Instructed to secure
the earth from Messrs. Marvin's collar.
