The motion was put to a vote and the bill of $200.62 ordered paid, the same to be added to the appropriation for the sewer job. Aid. Bonslett mentioned the final action of the old council in the matter of the $5,100 to be used in the payment of special assessments against the city such as sewer and pavement assessments on all the public improvements. Much Argument At this point Mayor Knox «Wd Aid. Stoffel had a little hot argument which was too fast to transcribe and it ended by the mayor talking to all the aldermen and aeking them to try and be a little more polite and respect the man speaking without interruptions until their time to speak and then they would not interrupted. Aid. Bonslet: "The city collector has made up a list of special assessments that the city owes itself and all the special ones due with interest and part payment of No. 6, amounting to $5,084.00. It is my suggestion that the $5,100 be used to make these payments at once." Mayor Knox appeared to be pretty hot and said: "I am not going to sign any anticipation warrants, if youvgentlemen keep on-paying so much you will be broke and you fnust remember that we will get less taxes this y&ir than previous years." Aid. Krause asked if they could legally use the $5,100 for payments such as listed by the city collector. Mayor Knox: "I am not going to have anything slipped over on me by any previous board- or this board. You wouldn't wait fifteer. minutes and you brought Smiley in just before the old board went out, knowing that you couldn't put it over in my administration without pretty plain information as to how it could be done." Aid. Bonslett: "What are you going, to do about this money?" Mayor Knox: "I will do as I darn please--in accordance with the law as interpreted for me by our city attorney and I am not going to be bound by what Smiley said in the last minute before I took office. Why should we pay Smiley $50 when he is representing other parties being sued by the city at the present time?" Aid Bonslett asked Atty. Cowlin what about the court decisions that Smiley had furnished. Mr. Cowlin said that some of them seemed to apply to the case, others did not. Aid. Bonslett: "Then if the majority of them are safe to pay it will be a safe proposition." Atty. Cowlin: I can't see that it is any safer now than it was last year. It is perfectly safe to pay $1,000. Aid. Bonslett: "I think We had better pay the bills." Mayor Knox: "We have hired an attorney and I have appointed him and when I have written advice from him to pay this $5,100 I will do so but that $50 paid to Smiley at the last minute to advise you gentlemen to order me to sign these vouchers and g«t me in fcroobU far than haa a© gas furnished him. Aid. Krause, Kreutzer, Bonslett and Doherty all ; thought the idea of a motor cop a ' good one and that if the city had more ; funds they would favor hiring him. Mayor Knox said he would not put; the town in debt any further. Aid. ; Bonslett said some towns license ev- : ery business place and pay a eop from the license fees. Years ago the busi- ' nes men used to club together and hire a night watchman, of course, ; h e c o u l d b e h i r e d a t t h a t t i m e f o r ! $50 a month, but now there are more business houses, perhaps something j *f that kind could foe worked out. 1 Aid. Schaefer: "Protection is al- ( right, but we don't want people chased ; out of a town looking to cash in on his fees. I am not forgetting the money by arresting people." | The cop would require $150 per i month. The aldermen deferred this mater until a month later when they. would see the applicant again. | Aid. Doherty: "Can't we adjourn and get together some other night and r.ot take too much time one, night?" j It waa moved and seconded that the meeting adjourn * subject to the' mayor's call.
