THE NEWS IN THE BLUFFS.
The Conncil in Committee Of the Whole
View the Line Of the Proposed Levee.
THE NEW HACK DRIVERS ORDINANCE.
A solution of "a Vexing Probl o M Fl ow
MinneIoa Physician Lost His
Watoh-Minor Mention
and Personal.

The mayor and all of the aldermen, with
the exception of Mikesel met as a committee
of the whole yesterday afternoon and spent
an hour or two looking over the line of the
proposed new levee peti toned for by Messrs.
Paul, Evans and others. The unicipal
party used the patrol wagon and made care
ful survey of the proposed line The driver
was under direction Of Mr. Paul and he fol-
lowed the line wherever it was possible.
The visit was the result of the petition re-
ferred TO- and it may have an important infu-
ence upon the action of the council at the
meeting to be held next Monday night, when
the bids will be opened for widening and
strengthening the old levee. On the north
side OF the old levee there are severa
housand acres OF land fully as Avalu
able as that on the south side, which is
denied whatever protection the levee can
give. The acreage tracts on the south side
are worth $3.50 to $1,000 per acre, while on
the north side Sl15 per acre is the prevailing
price. The owners Of this property are the
petitioners for the protection, and if they can
succeed in convincing the aldermen that 1t
will be better for the general interests of the
city TO construct the new levee instead of
widening the old the contracts will not be
let for the proposed work on the old line.
The aldermen looked over the proposed line
very carefully, but in their remarks and dis
cpssions as carefully avoided saying anything
that would indicate what their convictions
were. Their conclusions will probably be
announced when they meet In session again.
The proposed line commences at the North
western railway track near MynS ter Springs,
| follows the southern bank of Big lake, and at
| one point trenches upon the old river bed,
and ends near the waterw0rks pumping
| station 1t will be over two miles long, and
| will have a uniform height equalling the
| grade established in that part of the city and
| several feet above the highest high water
| mark made in years of extensive floods The
| proposition is to construct the emban lkment
| wide enough for street or railway purposes.
| The cost will be assessed against the prop
| erty lying in what is known as sewer district
| No. l, attracting all that portion of the city
| that will be benefited by the proposed
bearer. 1t is claimed that the additional
| amount of property that will be
| benefited by the proposed levee
will be great enough to pay for the cost If
this claim Is true the council will be very
likely to seriously consider the project and
drop the contemplated improvement of the
| old levee.

The Attraction This Week.

The attraction of the people looking for

Another Hack Drivers Ord nance.
At the meeting of the city council on
Wednesday evening another ordinance was
presented for the consideration of the alder
men, providing for the regulation of hack
drivers and expressmen, naming the places
and conditions where they Will be permitted
to stand their hacks and wagons while wait
ing for custom. The ordnance was drawn
oy the city attorney under the instructions
of the committee on streets and alleys.
There is no other single small matter that
has given the public, the expressmen and the
various city councils so much trou BILE as the
effort to find satisfactory solution of the
problem presented by half hundred OK press
men and hack drivers. These men to be Of
use to the public and to be found by
their patrons when wanted are Obliged to
occupy some public place. The city has been
unable to provide anv other place than the
streets, and ordinance after ordinance has been
passed naming the street where they may
congregate and making it misdemeanor for
any of them to stand their wagons or hacks
at any other place, The hackmen have
obeyed the orders, and the streets designated
have been blocked by their wagons To the
serious detriment of the business men in the
vicinity. The kicks that have followed
have always been hardened unto by
tho council and the ordinance repealed by
| the adoption OF another naming .some other
| street. This practice has been followed until
| every cross street on Broadway, from the
| Ogden house TO the postofice, has been given
| to the expressmen and taken away again
| until at the present time they have no rights
| upon any of the streets except when their
vehicles are in motion, or they have the kind
| permission of some business man to stand in
front OF his property. Even then in the
| latter case they are subject TO arrest unless
| the property owner comes forward and
swears that the expressman is standing
his wagon there for his special benefit. City
Attorney Stewart and his lconferees on the
committee believe they presented satisfac-
tory solution of the question in the ordinance
presented at the last meeting. by its CON
oitlons all previous ordinances are repealed
and hack drivers and expressmen are per-
mitted TO stand their vehicles on any 1.-THE
| public streets at any point they desire, pro
vided that not more than two Of them remain
together and do not stand their wagons
within 100 feet of any others. This removes
the possibility of the hacks crowding to
gether in such numbers as To PROVE

In Love with the Mountains.

Mr.. II. Fl, Field, who is at present visiting
