COUNCIL MEETING ) Man Many Important Matters Dis- cussed at Meeting of City Dads Last Night. COUNCIL MAY PROVIDE SEWER SYSTEM. License of Pawn Shop Operators Fixed at $35 Per Year—New Wells a Failure. A meeting of the city council was held last night at whicha number of important matters to the city came up for discussion. After accepting the report of Judge O. M. Skinvik for the week ending May 20 and allowing the usual grist of bills, the council passed an ordinance amending Chapter 13 of the village ordin- ances fixing the license for operating a pawr shop at $35 per year. Dr. F. E. Brinkman appeared at the meeting and asked as to what course the council would pursue ‘with reference to the establishment of a sewerage system. Mr. Brinkman wished to know whether the council in- tended to putina system or if he would be compelled to put in a private one for his new hotel on Third street now in course of construction. The council considered the matter at somelength but took no action, He was informed, how- ever, that should he procure a list of the property owners whose lots abutted upon the streets along which the system would be Pplaced, the council would further consider the matter, It is estimated that a pipe line extending from Minnesota avenue on Third street to Beltrami ave- nue, thence down Beltrami ave. nve to Second street and thence to the lake shore and out into the lake for a distance of 800 feet would cost approximately $6,000, including the cost of the oublety which is estimated at $2,000. £ The village is without funds, however, with which to install t!xe system, and_ at the present Pme there are only two ways in which the system could be putin. The law provides that the cost of installing a sewer shall be assessed to the property henefibted, and that the pay- ments shall be made to the city _by the property in three annual installments, thereby making it three years before the city could get its money back. Conse. quently, the council will either be compelled to secure the signa- tures of the property owners benefitted upon an agreement stating that they will pay the ini- tial cost of the system, or secure contractors who will accept vil- lage orders as their pay for the work. A commititee appointed tonote the progress made by the con- tractor now digging the new city wells reported that although a depth of 112 feet * had been reached no flow of water had been struck. X A resolution was afterwards passed by the council instruct- ing the recorder to advertise for bids for placing signs upon the street corners bearing the names of the different streets of the city.

Village Presidents and Towa- ship Chairmen Will Choose Successors. The removal of Commissioners Wright and Sibley by Governor Johnson yesterday was ordered by the governor after he had found the following charges pre- ferred by the public examiner to be true: First—That during their pres- ent terms of office, commencing on the first Monday in January, said F. O. Sibley and Wes Wright wrongfully, unlawfully. and in violation of their official duty as such commissioners, voted for the allowance and paymentof un- itemized and improperly item- ized, unauthorized, unlawful, ex cessive and fraudulent bills and claims against the said county of Beltrami. Second—That in awarding the county printing during the years of 1903 and 1904, there wasa manifest and utter disregard of their duties as related to thein- terests of the taxpayers in the awarding of said contracy to the highest bidder, and in refusing and officially taking part in re fusing to dward said county printing to the lowest responsible bidder, as is by law provided. Third—That in the allowance of bills for work done under said contract, there was a total disre- gard of the interests of the tax- payers, and an apparently wilful misappropriation of public moneys to private individuals in the allowance of bills which were excessive, which fact must have been known to these county com- missioners, Fourth—That they were wil- fully negligent in refusing or neglecting and failing to prose- cute and collect certain claims and demands due said county of Beltrami, Minnesota, especially ina certain claim against the Merchants’ bank of Bemidji, or its assigns or successors “in in- terest. Fifth—That bills were allowed or ordered paid to which the in- dividual commissioners were the chief parties in interest, and which were not proper claims against said county of Beltrami, and that this was known, and must have been known to said county commissioners when said claim was allowed and ordered mother-in-law problem, just give Mountain Tea.

In Mr. Wright’s district there will be only three votes—those af Mayor Henderson of Bemidji, Mayor Rako of Bemidji township, ‘the district inciuding only one town- ship.

It is in the details that clothes quality shows. All coats are pretty much alile in general plan. They all have backs and fronts and sleeves and collars. The Fifth Avenue tailor gets a hundred dollars E" suit for his clothes, ecause of the perfection of detail. The collar hugs the necK, the lapels smooth and flat, the shoulders have a shapely form—and hold it, the front is braced with hair- cloth and canvas, and does not breaK or sag. The buttons stay on and the buttonholes are stead- fast. Pockets are reine forced and do not tear S down. Well dressed men like these things and so the § tailer gets his price. Now Clotheraft Clothes are designed and built on the ¥ifth Avenue plan, but not at the Fifth Avenue price. Every detail has attention and you will find in the set of the collar, the shape of the shoulder, thc hang of the sleeves and the general balance of the coat, th you have notice rments of the highest :lmd lor.
