The Last Council Meeting.
The members of the council at the meeting on Monday night seemed to be the "men afraid of their shadow." The electric light question was again reopened to the committee after an attempt to turn the contract over to the Ann Arbor Thompson-Houston electric company on a one-year contract, Alderman brown Brown moving that the Porter bid, the second lowest, and assigned to the Ann Arbor company, be accepted. Nine bids were received for $30,000 sewer bonds, the highest premium offered beginning $114. on motion of Alderman Coon the street commissioner was directed to cut down the weeds on the College Hill addition. This resolution gave rise to a number of sarcastic remarks as to appointing a guide for the street commissioner and other facetious remarks. Attention was called to a general resolution that the street commissioner have the weeds cut all over the city. Alderman Allmendinger and Taylor and President Hiscock voted against the favoring of College Hill addition. Another resolution for the benefit of the street commissioner was introduced by Alderman Koch that the street commissioner distribute the team work and not favor certain individuals. Alderman Snyder, prefacing his remarks by saying he had refused work, told of other teamsters not having a bit of work in two years, while others had steady work ever since the street commissioner was in office.
