GRADING FoURTKExTH STREET.
Jones referred to- the petition OF Curran
brotners TOR an extension OF time in which to
grade Fourteenth street and Lake avenue. The
w work nao been apparently wiifuily delayed and
tourteenth street would soon be required 10 lay
sne large water mains. The confrac or should
ne required 10 complete the grading in the
shortest time possible or else take the wosk ous
OF their handx
Mckenzie was in favor OF proceeding against
the bcDdkmen.
Walilgford moved they be allowed thirty
days to complete. and II then unfinished the
city attorney then to proceed against the bonds
men.
Phillips said it was . shame the way those
contractors did the work, and he was in favor
OF considering no further bids from them. They
we're Delaying work 70 sell the sand, sub-letting
whisky.
Hall seconded wallingford's motion, which
carried.
DEXTER STREET IMPROVEMENT
City Clerk Ferris read the following report Of
the Dexter street levy:
Depot street 10 James street-Cost of improve
ment. Paid Kerns Bros, contractors, $210l0 20;
paid J. g. scurry. surveyor, s94s %: paid adver-
iislng, 70: paid funding owners. 50: interest &C
cfued, 81, BOG 65: total s2s 2So.4o. Amount OF as
sessment 70 J, 81, 645x90s S zs5 &C; excess s. o6
Wallingford said he wis led to enter protest
against amount of s94s.o5 paid the city engineer
for surveying that street He "a d 1t was simply
outrageous
Surveyor Owens said 1t must be remembered
that The surveys, about Q dozen in number, had
been made during period OF eighteen months,
and were unusually expensive.
Wailiugford said the council had passed an
order that payment for only two surveys would
be allowed. and he considered this bill SWIM
Ole on the property own r.
Hall aofA haa ~x<<f ball f>,x& ~--s<l
Wa lingiord in calling II outrageous, as there
were only about fifteen blocks 10 survey.
Waliingf0rd said he understood that the city
surveyor had added 10 per cent. for discount on
the city warrants. This was unusual and it
would be well to have the matter looked into
before pe ssing the levy.
jones said the bills were al on record and
could seen The resolution referred TO had
not been passed more thaa eight weeks ago,
while the surveys were made rs far back as
eighteen months. They had been made through
timbered property and misplatsed land, and 1t
was drawing the matter little too fine to OBJ
ject so strongly without giving the matter due
consideration.
Viii called attention to the fact that the
warrants had been issued some time ago for the
" *, whereupon the levy was voted.
