City Council.

discussing the proposed Typographical sur
vey of this section, as well as to enter into
a contract for bringing myrtle street from
Fourth to Owen to proper grade. All the
aldermen were present except Kerr and
Drawer.
A resolution was offered accepting the bid
of O'Neal Bros. for the grading of Myrtle
street at 1917 cents per cubic yard, and SIS
for taking up and relaying sidewalks and
cutters. The contract was signed and the
work will be engaged in at once.
A quitclaim deed was presented from o.
D. Baldwin for the twenty feet for widen
ing Water street from Myrtle to Chestnut
streets, which was to be given to the city by
the Transfer company.
Street lamps were ordered to be placed at
the head of North Third street, north of
School street, at the corner of Fourth and
Hancock, and at the corner of First and
Willard street.
The council then went into committee of
the whole on the Typographical survey,
Aid. Burke in the chair.
Mr.. j. A. Deragisch, from the railway
committee of the Merchants board of trade,
presented the resolution passed by the
board at its meeting ON Wednesday last,
and which appeared in Thursdays GLOBE,
asking that the council cause survey to be
made of the several routes, both east and
west, by which ingresS and egresS might be
made for railways Mr.. Deragisch advoca-
ted that an effort be made to have the Min
neapolis, Sault Ste Marie & Atlantic road
come through the city, as favorable route
could be found via Apple river to this
point, much superior to any that could be
had from Star Prairie. Parties who know
the country will say there are no engineer
ing difficulties.
Mr.. Hening, also member of the board
of trade, showed the injury that had been
done to the trade of the city through the
here, the trade from the North having been
cut off, and new trading points established.
The $500 road would be of much benefit
to this city.
Mr.. Myron Shepard gave his ideas as to
how the surveys should be made. Not
costly one, but one that would give a rather
clear idea of the grades, cuts and fills.
Aid. Burns, as member Of the board of
trade, thought that if main line would
come in here, or more than one, it would be
of much more benefit than spur lines.
Aid. Covel made lengthy speech, but
he appeared to take manufacture as his
theme more than railways, and said that if
the city would only manufacture the vast
amount of logs passing by without doing the
city any good, railways would see such an
amount of traffic that they would be asking
permission from the city to come here in
stead of the city going after them.
Aid. Bronson presented the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the sum of $3.50 be hereby
appropriated out Of the current funds, or so
much thereof as may be necessary, for the
of q i'm m
railroad routes in and out of our city, said
survey to be made under the supervision of
the special committee of the city council, to-
gether with the committee of the merchants
board of trade.
On the committee of the whole rising,
and the council going into session, the reso-
luton was carried by six to one, Aid. Mel
son voting nay.
