The matter of arranging for North

ness at last nights meeting of the
North Side improvement association a
Hunts hall. There was a large attend

considerable interest in the matter un-
Ter consideration.
In response to request from a COM
mittee of the association j. w. Law
renee and c. p. SilloWay made propo-
sition to sell the old Washington Ave
nue. rink to the market house COM
pany at an appraised value, and to
lease lots 4, ETC., in the block
on which the rink stands for
the sum of $500 per year and taxes and
assessments for the next five years and
for any desired term of years at per
cent on assessed valuation. They also
represented that the other lots. owned
by other parties, could be leased on
reasonable terms. They also agreed to
one-third the amount to be paid them.
Their estimate of yearly receipts at
tached to the proposition. including
rents. ETC., was at $S,225 and eXpendi-
lures at $500.
They also made a proposition to CO.
operate with the association in .organiz-
ing market house company, placing
the stock and obtaining market privi-
leges.
Lambert Hays, throughn his agent,
Thee Hays, proposed to lease for term
of fifteen years his block of about two
acres, with 635 feet of frontage on
Twelfth avenue north and Third street,
and for ten years thereafter. The
terms of the lease are to be 8
per cent on valuation of
$40, 1000 for five years, and 4 per cent on
the same valuation for the next ten

estimated to cost about S11 600, and an
nual expenses at $4,000, with income at
$3.50.
After hearing the two propositions E.
E. Blinn. of the market committee re-
ported that the committee had decided
citation decide for themselves, tn ey hay
ing heard all there was in both.
Mr.. Lawrence made rather spirited
address in favor of the rink location.
and Theodore Hays said few things in
favor of the other. w. e. Nye offered a
resolution binding the association to CO.
operate with either party that would Or
ganiZe a company and show an inclina-
ton to put the matter ahead. Byron
Sutherland moved to accept Lawrence's
proposition.
w. H. Haight thought the rink was
old, ill-contrived, and altogether unde-
sirable.
Mr.. Lawrence's second proposition
was finally accepted by very slender
and somewhat doubtful vote, and the
association will cooperate with the
owners of the old rink in the formation
of a market company.
Mir. Douglass, of Anderson. Douglass
& Co., representing the syndicate of
Philadelphia capitalists who propose to
plat system of cable lines in Minneap-
oils, was present and presented the
salient points of the scheme in clear
and brief manner, and asked
the improvement association to indorse
it and give the plan its moral support.
Byron Sutherland and Capt B. Hunt.as
we'll as others, were enthusiastic and fig
uratively stretching out helping hand
to any transportation enterprise that
would reach the North side, where
rapid transit is such an evident and i'm
mediate necessity. After several men,
beers had expressed their sympathy with
the new cable scheme, Byron Suther-
land offered resolution approving the
ordinance and asking the council to
pass it.
