Hereafter City hall office employes will have a seven hour working day Johnson Takes Out Hamme: A resolution presented on behalf of the board of water commissioners for the purchase of a Ford auto for the department resulted in a free- for-all discussion among the city fathers. Councilman J. Gustave Johnson ecriticized the ci depart- ment for not carrying out the ordi- nances which require the marking of the car Alderman Curtis agreed with Councilman Johnson that city vehicles should be marked with the name of the department, but said that the discussion was out of order. Alderman Curtis said that it was not necessary for the department to ask the consent of the council to make the purchase and he favored the adoption of the resolution. The other departments ought to be en- | couraged to consult the council on such matters he said. One Measure “Pigeonholed.” Alderman Paone a brought out an interesting disclosure that a provi- sion requiring permission of the coun- cil before making purchases over $300 was ost” in the charter amendments. He promised the com- mon council to find out how this pro- vision happened to become ‘pigeon- holed.” He favored having the matter re- ferred to the committee on automo- biles. Mayor Quigley said that this committee was out of existence with the forming of the mnew common council. Alderman Curtis disagreed with the mayor, saying that the cor- poration council had told him that the committee existed until fin- ished up its work. Dumps for Second Hand Cars. Alderman Paonessa said that the committee ought to be given more authority. He said that certain de- partments were lax in caring for their automobiles. The board of public works, he continued is ‘a dump for second hand cars.” Author- ity was given the water department to purchase the Ford car. Cedar Street “Quict Zone."” A resolution was adopted desig- nating Cedar street as a quiet zone because of a sanatorium which has been established on the street. Councilman Wells offered a resolu- tion authorizing the mayor to appoint a committee of threc members to meet with the board of public works | and the city engineer and investigate the matter of street extensions.

It was brought out that George Le Witt lessee of the theater at the present | time, has an option on the property. Alderman Curtis had a map with him showing what property the city own- | ed and why it should try to p hase the Lyceum. Councilman Eichstaedt favored buying the Lyceum. \ Alderman Paonessa was opposed to | the purchasing of the theater.
