which was broken, she stated, last win
ter, and whenever the brewery lets Oft
water ''it was enough to knock a person
down." aud rendered it almost impossible
for people to reside in the vicinity. The
matter was reported, she said, once last
winter and once last spring.
Street Commissioner Green said that
this place had not been reported to him.
1t was fixed last winter, and he had sup
posed it was all right. The pipe joints
were disconnected, but the pipe was not
broken-it was simply pulled apart. 1t
would take 81 200 to fill up the low ground
there and put it in proper shape, and the
expense would be too great. he would
look after the matter, however.
The matter was referred to him, with
power TO act.

sure-thing men who come to this city.
The Steamboat Saloon is the resort of

Mayor Steinman said he was not op-
posed to saloons, but he favored the clos

THE R-sTREET SEWER CONTRACT.
William Snarr asked for an extension
of time on his contract to construct the
sewer between Sixth and Eighth streets,
from Y to y for forty-fve days. Owing
10 a misunderstanding with the pipe
maker he could not get the pipe in time,
as it will take three weeks to make it.
1--WE can't afford TO put it off for any
such time," said the Mayor. "The peO-
pie down there must be protected. 1t is
late in the season now and l don't want
to see them kept in dirty water again, as
they were last winter. They arein bad
way down there. They pay taxes as well
as the rest of our citizens and are entitled
to relief. | do not want to make Mr.
Snarr lose his SIl5 deposit for what is no
fault of his own, and think we had bet
ter refund it and let him throw his con-
tract"
IF you do that said G. A. Dainton,
ST am the next lowest bidder, and will
go on right away and finish it,"
"But there is considerable difference
between your bid and Mr.. Snarr's," said
Mr.. Steinman. How much will be the
difference in the cost?"
1t was ascertained that it would be
about $40.
"Well," said the Mayor, ''if that is ALL
the season being so late, [ think we can
better afford to give it than TO delay. The
pipe Dainton uses will be made here and
the money for it and the labor will be
spent here and give la5orers here en-
ployment."
The bid of Dainton was ordered ac-
cepted and the Sl15 deposit of Snarr re-
turned to him.
MUST COME DOWN.
A communication from Il. Zemansky Y
was received asking that he might have
All extension Of time for pulling down his
awning until spring, in order that he
might put up new awning, put down a
new sidewalk and put new front in his
building at Third and streets all at the
same time.
The Mayor put a decided veto on it.
"If we grant him till spring." said he,
everyone else will want to wait too.
The awnings are all coming down. This
man wants the sidewalk. He rents a
shoemaker's stall now which is on the
sidewalk, which belongs to the city. The
ordinance must be enforced"
The other Trustees acQuiesced.
