change TO Seventeenth street had never
been on the ground, and assumed that the
work would be no more expensive than on
any other street. To this extent il NAV

sewer committee have not received pro-
per attention and that loss has occurred
which might have been prevented had !
CHOSEN TO give the greater portion of my
time to the work of the city. If so, this

the suggestion for the change came from
the contractor, and in further answer

The city engineer stated that Abel
Wemken, brick contractor, had failed,
owing considerably more for labor and
material than the amount due him
from the city. Bills against him to
the amount of 81 800 have already been
filed with the clerk. The last of the
brick due to the city on the contract
are now at the wharf awaiting delivery
and the mayor, attorney and engineer |
were appointed committee to see that |
they are delivered as required by the |
contract. Adjourned.
Takess 1000 people to buy DR.. Sage's |
Cetarrh Remedy, at so cents a bottle, |

After all, the mild agencies are the
