| Ankeny in March, 1874, upon property
now owned by the mill company. City
Attorney Russell, on being called upon,
stated that there was no doubt that the
no record of the satisfaction could be
found. At his suggestion the proper
city authorities were directed to execute
the discharge as asked for in the petit
ton, the fact that the satisfaction is not
recorded acting at present as a cloud
upon the mill company's title.
The Dump Question.
The old and much vexed dump ques-
tan again thrust itself upon the coun-
Gil in the form of a protest from Isaac
Atwater against the opening of Twenty
fourth street. Upon motion of Aid.

submitted a separate bid for the dis
pOsal of the animals at so much per

The City Hospital.
Everybody was on the qui vive for
rumpuS when the matter of opening the
sealed proposals of sites for a new city
hospital, and for few moments it
looked as though there would be no dis
appointment on that score, but the ques-
ton was finally disposed of without
blOOdshed. There were eight bidders,
whose offers took in every section of the
city. Lauderdale & Co. offered nine
sites, ranging in price from IS, 600 to
$4,000; Joseph Jones offered one site.

{. Oswald named piece for which he
would accept $4,000: A. J. Finnegan
offered a site for $500, and, to wind up
with, the university regents offered a
site on the university campus for a
rental of 81 per year. President Potter
stated that in the absence of objection
the bids would be submitted to the COM
mittee on health and hospitals, but Aid.
Schwartz evidently objected, for he
| moved their reference to the super
visOrs of the poor. At this Aid. BraZie
| grew indignant and moved an
| amendment to refer the bids to
| the health committee and one alder
man from each ward. A lively discus
| sion followed, which was participated
| in by Aldermen Gray, Rand, Parry and
| Hunter, the latter of whom insisted
that the health committee was too small
| body to be entrusted with so impor-
| tant matter.
Aid. Brazie's amendment was finally
| put and carried.
An ordinance granting the Great
| Northern road permission to construct
| bridge at First avenue was passed
under suspension of the rules.
The proceedings were somewhat en-
| livened by the appearance of a reSolu-
ton authorizing the laying Of the Park
| hurst patent
| Curb and Gutter
on First avenue south, from Eighth to
| Thirty-third streets. The resolution
was introduced by the committee on
paving, and provided that the company
| should receive 20 cents per lineal foot
| ana should wait until July, 1892, for
| payment for the work. Aid. Rand OBJ
| jected on the ground that the Parkhurst
| company had at one time bid for Chis
work at less price than that named in
the resolution. He could see no reason
why they should now be paid 10 cents
more than they offered to do the work
| for last spring. Aid. MeGowan also OBJ
| jected to the resolution, and Aid.
Grimes urged its adoption, stating that
! the residents of the Eighth ward were
| willing TO submit to the small increase
in the price in consideration of the time
accommodation extended by the COM
pany. These three gentlemen INDUCED
IN lively discussion, which was finally
brought to a close by Aid. BlichfeIdt,
who moved and secured the recommit-
ment of the resolution to the committee
on paving.
About Mary Place.
To keep the ball rolling Aid. Hunter
dragged out the hOary-headed and moss
grown Mary Place. matter. introduce
ing a resolution providing for the aban-
donment of all proceedings in the
opening of that thOroughfare. He made
a piteous appeal on behalf of Hugh
| hd1IlSOI, Saying tudb IL WOULD De great
outrage to ruthlesSly run street through
his homestead, which he desired
to preserve intact, as it had been
for the past twenty-five wears.
Aid. Haynes called the attention
OF the alderman from the Sixth to the
fact that Mr.. Harrison had at one time
offered to allow a street to run through
his homestead at point where il would
mutilate the grounds still more than the
present proposition. A discussion fol-
lowed in which Aid. Laye aud Bradish
participated, the former favoring and
the latter opposing the resolution. which
was finally referred to the committee Oh
roads and bridges.
