The olty oonnotl met in adjourned
session last night with Mayor Gamp
bell presiding and all the aldermen
present ezoept Aldermen Stewart, who
is absent from the city on leave. The
mtnuteB of the last previous meeting
were read and approved
City Attorney Townsend made a re-
port which startled the aldermen, as
follows:
To the Honorable Olty Oounoil of the
City of El Paso:
On November 27, 1894, the Wm. A.
Orr Shoe oompaoy recovered a judg-
ment in the county oourt of El Paso
county agalust Z. F. Merrill and a fore
closure of au atcaonmant lien on all or
nearly the real estate owned by Merrill
in the olty of El Paso. On May 21,
1895, an order of sale was issued by
said court for the sale of his said real
estate and it will be sold by the sheriff
to satisfy the judgment at the July sale
day.
My information Is that this property
was taken by the city In the settlement
and compromise of Its claims against
Merrill and Is now held by the olty.
in mahirg this settlement on Octo-
ber 20,1894, E, A. Stewart, by Millard
Patterson, nts attorney and agent, R.
F. Johnson, J. Oalisber, a. A. Howard,
W. J. Fewell, Charles Davis, J. P.
Dieter. Waters Davis, W. 8 Hills, by
A. G. Foster, and E, O. Roberts ex
eouted and delivered to tne olty their
agreement in writlog to bold, save and
keep the city of El Paso safe and harm
less irotu any writ of attachment here
tofore levied on said property.
Would 6dgge6t that the olty olerk
notify each of these parties and request
them to settle and adjust said jadg
inent and protect said property.
' Second. In the matter of the Bale
of the Merrill property on North Ore-
gon street 1 ilnd on examining the re-
cords of the city council, book H, page
570, that the price for whioh the prop-
erty was sold is not mentioned, neither
does it show to whom the property was
6old. With the reoord in this condi-
tion the mayor would not be authoriz-
ed in making a deed to any one. The
minutes of the meeting of the olty
oounoil of March 22, 1895, relating to
this sale should be correoced and the
omissions Bpeolfied supplied.
Third. In the matter of the petition
of the Fort Dearborn National bank of
Chicago and Milliard PattersoD, claim
iDg block No. 8, Hart survey No 9,
there Is a suit now pending in the dis-
trict oourt of El Paso county for said
property against the olty. Owing to
the salt I woald recommend that the
matter be indefinitely postponed.
Alderman Whitmore moved that the
olty attorney be instructed to draw op
the papers for the transfer of the prop
erty sold by the city to Mrs. Robinson
Chairman Sohntz of the street asd
grade committee, asked permission to
have several street orotsiugs repaired.
Granted.
The street commissioner said that the
ditch north of the track thonld be
opened np. Recommendation ordered
carried out.
Chairman O’Keeffe of the ordinance
committee submitted an ordinance re-
gulating the sale of milk and to pre-
vent the sale of impure milk. The ordi-
nance was adopted.
The ordinance committee wss grant-
ed farther time on the ordinance relat-
ing to fast driving and turning to the
right.
Chairman Schulz of the finance com-
mittee submitted the following report:
In reference to the claim of E. M.
Fink referred to us, we find that on
March 30th Mr. Fink was suspended,
but that no charges were brought
against him in writing as provided by
the ordinance, no time fixed for trial,
no trial had, and no such evidence
heard, which is In effeot an acquittal;
we therefore ilnd that he Is entitled to
amount claimed.
However, we understand that It was
not the intention of Mr. Fink to press
his olalm for the purpose of collecting
amount due, but to obtain an offlolal

Investigation Into charges preferred
against him for which be was ouspend-
ed.
Chief Fink said he did not ask for ell
tha* was rine him, but he asked to be
paid for two days in Maroh and for the
time be was out of work after the elec
tion.
Alderman Robert s moved to refer
the matter to the police committee for
investigation and a report.
Aldrrman Davis wes opposed to pay-
ing Mr. F.nk for services he never
rendered.
Alderman Sohutz moved to allow
Fink’s claim in full, and on roll oali It
was done, Aldermen Clifford, Davis
and Whitmore voting against It.
Chairman Clifford of the taxation
committee recommended that J B.
Watson be refunded a rebate of $100 on
oooupaMon license.
Col. Ritter, wbo has a oontraot with
the olty to bore an artesian well, ap-
peared before the oounoil to state his
case and ask the oounoil what he might
expeot; was he to bore the well or was
the artesian well to be dropped? The
people would never know, he said,
whether they oonld get artesian water
or not until a test was made. But he
wanted to know what to expect. He
wanted to go to work under his oon
traot or secare a settlement with the
olty.
Alderman Whitmore wanted to go
ahead with the well as soon as possible
He suggested that when the oounoil
adjourned it be until tomorrow even
log when the ar’esian water question
be oonsldered.
Olty Health Physician White sub-
mitted the following report, the re
commendations of which were ordered
carried out.
I beg leave to oill yonr attention to
the oondltion of the premises cn Ore
gon street, opposite th% Transfer com
pany’s stable, and which were lately
oconpied by Mr. Rex ae a b aoksmtth
sbop. The building is in f uon a delapl
dated condition that It is liable to fall
at any time and'he interior is a mass
of filth and garbage tnat constitutes a
nuisance and a meaaoe to the health
and comfort of tne neighborhood. I
would recommend that the budding be
torn down and the debris tc gather with
the eooumnlated filth be oarted away.
I woald further call actentim to fha
faot that the vacant lots on Leith sides
of the building mentioned are s > much
below the grades of the streets that
water oolleots and stagnates there after
every rain and constitutes a prolific
source of disease.
Since wrltiDg the above my attention
has been oalled to a like state of affairs
existing in the following localities to-
wit: On San FraDOtsco street In front
of the old sampling works and again
farther east la the depression between
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fa
tracks, again there are large accumula-
tions of stagnant water east and sonth
of the refrigerator between Texas and
Myrtle streets and a like condition pre-
vails In vaoant lots on Magcffin avenue
just east of the residence of Mr.
RichardCaples. These ell constitute
fool of infectious diseases and should
be remedied. It is fcrrcely within my
province«s city health physiolan to
oaase the abatement of these evils,
hence 1 deem it bast through yon to re-
fer th= matter to the city oonnoll.

papers saysf he estate is valued at
$10,000 Of this the will gives the

The balance of the late bishop’s effects
are distributed around permiscnously,
the bulk of it going to the executor

prejudice the bishop against his wife
to prevent him from doing her jnstlce.

mentally capacitated to meke a will
when the one appointing Gaipin exec-

fuge of offering shoddy mixtures and call it ‘ good wool.” We don’t claim to sell $5 gold pieces for |4, but when we advertise other merchants’ Great Bargain Offerings at
just half OUR PRICE you can bet your bottom dollar that you will always find them on sale. That s the reaeon we take the wind out of our competitors' sails.
