MULCT sTREET-sPRINKLE
Lincoln White addressed the Trustees
on behalf Of some street-sprinkling con-
tractors who had been fined by the board
for alleged negligence. Mr.. White pre-
sented some bills from the contractors,
covering the amounts OF the fines, and
Il.
said the loss would be a hardship on
the men, and beside he doubted if the
board could legally withhold the money.
The contractors had been fined simply on
the complaint Of various property owners
and had not been given a hearing.
On motion Of the Mayor the matter was
referred to the Street Commissioner for
investigation.
BIDS for laying a sewer in the alley be-
tween NJ and \, Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets, were opened, and the contract
was awarded to William Snarr.
The bill OF the Ne70S for $40 for printing
the election proclamation came up for
consideration, but as each Of the Trustees
denied that he had authorized it, the bill
was laid aside.
TO STORE PETROLEUM.
petition was received from the Sulli-
van-helly Company for permission to
store refined petroleum in Its warehouse
at Fifth and l streets.
Chief Engineer Guthrie, Of the fire
department, read the ordinance which
prohibits the storage Of more than one
thousand gallons Of petroleum within the
corporate limits Of the city. He then said,
however, that as the warehouse stands of
by itself, and as the fire department could
easily handle a fire in it, he did not think
there was any occasion for alarm. He
said there was some objection, though,
from neighbors. He said that in times
past this particular warehouse had been
stored with hay, which was more danger
Gus than refined petroleum. The Trus-
tees decided to lay the matter over for one
week and investigate.
A resolution Of intention to improve J
street with bituminous rock from Third
street to Eleventh, was passed. 1t is un-
derstood that there will be 'how"
against this. Il. A. Burr is getting sign
ers to remonstrance against the pro-
posed Improvement, and it is understood
that there will be "hot time" when the
matter comes up next Monday for hear
ing.
Chief Engineer Renwiclz, of the Water
Works, reported that 35,O24,000 gallons Of
water We're pumped during last week
A number Of bills against the city were
audited, alter which the board adjourned.
