A subscriptáon paper ia being circulated here to raise funda to have the cgmpany lócate permanently their repairand engine sliops here. In general we do not advocate the buying of an organization to lóente in a place, but this is of more than passing interest and we wish to see it successful, they are apt to termínate as did the ï'psilanü shoe factory. - Monday night at the council hall oreurred Uie deatli Of the old and the birth of the new council. The usual routine of business oecupied the attention of the past council until Alderman Frazier made a motion to adjourn, and then Marshal Smith presented his port, prepared on a manuscript of great length, containing a statement of the business transactions between himself and the past council. It contained not only facts but fanoies, wbich being couched in such beautiful and pathetic language it nearly melted the andience to tears. Miehael Casey seemed to be very much affected, and Jamos Nihiel was offering to bet Sö that Smith sv'ould be re-elected. Xext follovved the reuding of another manuscript by ex-Mayor Barnes, he expressed the greatest satisfaction as to the previoua management of the city goverinnent, and still was glad to leave his honorable position. &c. Tiic !'. oouoeil tvn adjottrasd aiul immediately the new council convened. E. P. Allen then unrolled his manuscript and gave bis inaugural address. 11e iirst called the attention of the council to the necessity of a more efficiënt fire department, and also desired to see more light on the streets nights as well as better sidewalks. He also insisted that the council should fight the Ilillsdale R. R. bonds and pay them only at the bitterend, and seemed to express a contidence that the city would not have to pay them. Some men can be very consistent and this will show his consisteney, and right here let me say that when the present mayor was a councilman he placed liis vote twice on record in favor of paying in all $9,000 of the Hillsdale boiuls or interest. It would be no more than fair Jor me to say that at that time he owned a hundred dollar Hillsdale bond, which he afterward sold for $95. Belng a republican and following the teachers of his great party we are not surprised that he, a great moral reformer, should advocate the repudiation of a jnst and legal debt. Xext came the election of city officers, which resulted in the re-election of the old officers. One man infonned us that he had seven of the nine aldermen present who woulcl support lnm tor cuy cierk, imt the ballots wben counted sbowed thai he had been forgotten. The financia! condition of the city is good, its indebtednees being but $5,000, due in Februut, 1881; this is omitting the Ilillslale bonds wbicb if added would make it soraewhere near $80,000. One incident showed the high-toned fnstidiousness of the city fathers when Supervisor Shutts' bill was taken from the table, one alderman wished to know what would be done with the dog tax which was to be offset against the payment of the same; another quickly replied, ■out the dog." Any elucidation of what was meant by thn expression will be joyfully reoeived. ïhe city offleers 'Icited ave as follows: Marshal, A. II. Soaith; treasurer F. P. Bogardus; city ittorney, C. II. Whitman; clerk, Frank Tosliu.
