CINE House Rejected.

special meeting of the City Council was
held last evening, to take action on the un-
safe condition of the drawer on Vaughan's
bridge.
In Board Of Mayor and Aldermen.
In this board Aldermen Cunningham and
Shaw were absent.
Alderman Galley, chairman of the COM
mittee on streets, made a statement of the
condition in which the committee on streets,
sidewalks and bridges found the drawn on
SO badly broken up that new draw must be
built. The committee on streets cannot
spare from their appropriation the sum re-
quired to build a new drawer from $4,000 to
$3500-and they want the City Council to
the $65, 900 appropriated for the street de-
partment, SIS, 512.17 are already expended.
Alderman Hobbs asked IL there isn't
abundant money in the contingent fund
to take the $500 needed for the new draw.
The Mayor stated that the $4,000 reserve
was this year stricken out of the contingent
fund. This fund has every year certain liked
charges against it, Some 5000 have already
been drawn from the contingent fund, and
S., 900 more has been voted from it. This
leaves $4,000 to provide against all contin-
gencies. The Mayor thought the 81 900 voted
to build an addition to Casco engine house
had better be used to build the draw and let
the proposed addition go over TO the next
year. The committee on public buildings
this afternoon opened the bids on the addi-
ton on the engine house. The highest bid
was $4,700; the lowest $3.50. No award was
made. There is no pressing need for making
the proposed changes at the engine house
Immediately.
Alderman Tukesbury then presented the
following order:
That the sum of 81, 900 which was appropriated
for the extension OF the engine house OF Casco,
No. in the annual appropriation bill be trans
ferred and added to the appropriation for
streets, sidewalks and bridges, for necessary re-
pairs on Vaughan's bridge.
The order was passed by vote of 4 yeas
to nay.
Alderman Smith presented the following,
which was passed:
That the City Marshall be directed to impound
all CATTLE goats and horses on the city prone
nades and public grounds, whether tied or other
wise, unless the owners OF the same have written
| permission from the commissioners of public
| grounds to occupy the same.
An order was passed, directing the issue OF

They report that the bids do not include
drainage, plumbing or the hose tower. The
committee desired Instruction how to pro-
coed under the circumstances.
Alderman Smith then offered an order to
the effect that all bids on the proposed
changes on the Casco engine house be reject
ed, as none of them cover the full terms OF
the original plans and specifications. The
order was passed.
The order in regard to repairing vaughan's
bridge came back from the lower board so
amended as to be practically new order.
The sum was reduced to $500, and that to
be taken from the contingent fund.
The aldermen voted to concur with the or

Mr.. Crockett moved that the rules be
suspended so that the matter of transferring
the appropriation of $500 for the addition to
Casco Engine House to the appropriation
for streets, sidewalks and bridges for the
purpose of repairing Vanghan's bridge,
might be considered. Tbs motion was car
ried. :. 2ssr. e3s.e y fas
Councilman Smart said that he had rather
the appropriation for the addition to the en-
CINE house should remain, and moved that
the sum of $500 be taken from the contin-
gent fund.
Councilman Crockett thought the appro-
prIation should be held in allegiance and used
FOR the purpose of constructing the addition
at later date If possible. With this in view
he would favor the, motion of Councilman
Smart. ans.. st0nl n 5ph
Councilman Bagley thought that the re-
sources of the various committees should be
confined to the appropriations for their de-
partment, and thought that vaughan's
bridge should be repaired by an approprla-
zion from the contingent
The question was called and the order was
amended by taking the $500 from the con-
tingent and as so amended was unanimusly
passed.
The Board adjourned.

Cloquet Mimi dispatch: The
dreaded calamity came yesterday. The
booms at Cloquet broke, and $4,000, 900
feet Of logs are scattered along the
banks of the st. Louis river, or tossing
on the waves of Lake Superior. Above
Cloquet was the first boom, resting on
Posey island, and a mile above that
was the second or main boom, which
rested on massive piers. Both of these
booms broke. BY many persons it is
said that the second boom, which con-
tanned upwards of go, 000, 900 feet of logs,
first gave way, and the massive
force they exerted snapped the Posey
Island boom, where there were 10000
900 feet. The loss TO the lumbermen is
enormous. As near as can now be esti-
mated, it will reach nearly $500, 900 and
may run over that, and of course on all
the great loss there is no insurance at
all. The loss TO the Knife Falls boom
company and the lumbermen there will
lie $4,000 or more, and on the logs
swept away perhaps Yearly $500, 900
more. The log side of their upper mill
Of the Water Power company's railroad
bridge and two small wooden bridges
there we're also carried down stream.
The Cloquet lumber company estimate
their loss at 30, 900, 600 feet, which cost
to put in $3.50, 900, and the manager said
to night that he would not be willing to
take 800, 600 for his loss. The com
pany will probably be able TO save
6, 900, 900 feet at Cloquet. The Cloquet
company had about 10000, 600 feet
break away, and will probably save
about {, 900, 900 feet. The water power
company was the most fortunate. 1t
saved about 5000, 900 feet and lost
about 6. 600, 900.
Very heavy rains fell on Saturday in
the vicinity of the government reser-
voir at Cross lake, making a raise of
six inches, and all the water is held
back. There is head of thirteen feet
ut the dam. more than was ever known
before, and it is impossible to make any
accurate statement of the area now Gov
cred. When the head is twelve feet
above the same reservoir, the water
| falls back over an area of seyenty-fiye
/ square miles, and the additional foot
I must cover considerable more territory.
i There are 40, 900, 900 feet of logs held
back in Clear lake to be slniced
through the government dam at Gross
lake, but as its apron has been damaged
there will be no sluicing until the apron
/ is repaired, work requiring about ter
days. There is great occasion fol
alarm along the river above Minneapo'
lis. In anticipation of any rise the Min.
ueapolis lumber men to-day commenced
to run logs into Coon creek boom, in
order to be prepared for any possible
emergency which may arise.
