the work of the city laborers was neither
as hard nor aa dangerous as that of the
miners cf the camp and their wages
wereonly $3 perday.

‘Alderman Clute objected to the clause
giving the ‘mechanics and skilled labo-
rers regulation union wages,” because it
did not state what those wages were.

Aldermen Goodeve, Lalonde and Bar-
rett voted for the.resolution a8 read and
Aldermen Clute, Edgreen and Thomp-
son voted against it. Mayor Wallace
then cast the deciding vote in favor of
the motion and carried it. .

Alderman Clute suggested that ag ex-
Mayor Scott was about toleave his home
for Dawson city hia testimony in the
case of the Guarantee Loan & Trust Co,
yeraus the city of Rossland be taken at
once, a8 it would be of material impor-
tance in the trial of the suit. ¢

Some petitions were received and filed
referring to the laying. of sidewalks on
certain streéts.

‘Alderman Goodeve gave notice of his
intention te introduce a bylaw at the
next regular meeting on the proposition
of Sunday closing at the request of the
Sunday Closing league.

A communication was received from
“Soapy” Woods, asking the council to
ratify the former couricil’s contract wit.
him for his book, “Canada from Ocean

matter'ss the council has already repu-
diated the contract.
