the pool Of water that stands on Main |
street opposite the Butter building sf-
ter every rain. In the matter OF the
sidewalk referred to, II was deemed to
inxepedient and too expensive to order
a new walk laid, and, the city attorney
being present and go advising, the
committee on streets and alleys will
probably take the matter IN hand and
effect some improvement in the pres
ent condition of the walk, perhaps by
removing it altogether. Aid. Fish had
been the recipient during the past
week or two OF numerous complaints
Of violation Of the celebrated COW or
dinanoe from parties who were culti-
waiting nice lawns and shrubbery and
whose premises bad been more or less
damaged by msrsuding bovines. 1t
was the opinion Of all the aldermen
present as also Of his honor the mayor,
that particularly at tnis season Of the
year the ordinance should be most
rigidly enforced. and Chief Of Police
Jackson was called upon to explain
why there were 50 many infractions
reported. The chief in explanation
reported that the city was at present
without a pound and that be had been
unable to hpd q place suitable for the
purpose, moreover, IL was impossible
for one man to look after and round up
all the stray stock in the city. After
discussion Of the situation the chief
was instructed to procure some place
suitable for city pound at once and
having done so to begin the enforce
ment Of the ordinance and continue II
TO the best OF his Sbility, it being the
inten ton Of the council TO as far as
possible protect those citizens who
were expending money and time in
the besutifying Of their homes.
A communication from Col. Butler
was read, which called attention to
the same nuisance referred to by Aid,
Fish: to wit. the accumulation of water
in front Of the Butler block after every
rain.
Col. Buffers communication set
forth the damage he d substained
and the constant discomfort TO his
tenants in such forcIble language that
a motion prevailed authorizing the
com. on streets 20 afford such relief
As possible by a permanet drainage
to the slough near the railroad, which
il was stated could be easily effected.
A petition for the extension Of the
, water main from the present terminus
at the school house, down 10th and up
=, Orr streets for . total distance Of 44O
feet was presented, signed by the
following property owners on the line
, Of the proposed extension viz {. r
Middleton, VIM. Har mon, J. NJ. Holt
n. p. SoreDson, John Kostelak, b. X.

council that the petition represented
= q unanimous expression of Ill tn
resident property owners to be bene
!. fited, Aid. Stuart offered q resolution
: granting the petition and instructin
II the water company to make the des
= ired extension.
= The applications Of VIM. Bemen
a and Chas. F. Kelly for liquor license

L Aid. Stuart called the attention o

IL accommodations at present pIovideS
,e for the storage Of the Ere apparaLu
" and the meetings Of the department

II conditions the department had becom
demoralized and was at present in n

ton at the next meeting of the cOuI
