For some time past the work of COM
pleting the widening of Dexter street has
been at standstill on account of the
work upon the estate of Austin O'Malley,
at the southerly corner OF Garfield and
Dexter streets. The Commi ssioners agreed
to give him the sum of 81 900 for damages
and then O'Malley came to the Council
and requested the sum OF 900. Here the
matter has stood for some time, but at
yesterdays meeting the Council voted to
complete the work, go ahead and take
what portion of the building and land
that was necessary, and Mr.. O'Malley
must get his redress through the courts II
he does not accept the terms Of the COM
missioners.
The Street Watering Trouble.
The trouble about sprinkling the streets
came up at the Council meeting yesterday
afternoon and what was done at the
meeting publicly, was simply nothing but
what the public already know. Council
man Schiller stated that he requested Mr..
Charlone twice to sprinkle the streets
twice on July Fourth; that he did not
think he complied with the request, snd
although Mr.. Charlone says he did water
the streets he did not see IL. Mr.. Charlone
states that no one came to him until Mr..
Schiller did and then he worked uniil
$3.50 o'clock. The President stated II these
men did not do as the committee re-
quest they must take consequences. The
TRIBUNE man was informed later by
Councilman Schiller that the committee
on highways would give the matter early
attention.
