real estate to improve the city COM
mons, by surveying and grading Nor
row and Chapline streets to the city
line of Seventh street, was read. Mr..
Hadlich moved to amend by including
the surveying and grading of Eoff street
to the line OF Seventh street. Mr.. Had
lict's amendment and the original res
olution were adopted. The work is to
be done, if possible, by the workhouse
prisoners. Several parties wish to lease
land from the city and build houses,
consequently it has been considered a
good idea to extend and grade the above
streets.
Tho committee on streets, alleys and
grades recommended cutting off enough
Of the old cemetery at the corner OF
Sixteenth and McColloch streets, to
widen both of them in such way, that
the railroad tracks now there will not
interfere with vehicles, thus widening
the street about thirty-two feet at the
corner. The recommendation was
adopted, and the city solicitor was in
structed to go ahead and secure the
property for the purpose by legal
methods. The Recommendation was
adopted.

City Stamping company, w. F. and B.
W. Peterson and the Warwick China

streets with cars is to be not less than
S. nor more than so.
