to place over the Y-street canal TO facili-
tate the drainage and provide approaches

IA
for one half the expense. He wished to
be able TO submit definite report to the
trustees at their meeting in the evening.

Ject, the board decided To pay two-fifths

Yerts.
SALOON LICENSES REFUSED.
A petition was received from Mrs.
Pugh for license to conduct saloon at
Perkins.
\ strong remonstrance thereto was
filed with the board. The signers, in their
document, state that Mrs. Pugh was
striving to ruin the business of a tenant
with whom she had had some trouble.
The remonstrance was signed by George
McMulIen, John Rooney and very large
number of the leading citizens of that To-
cality.
Supervisor Curtis said there appeared
to be no necessity for another saloon in
Perkins, particularly for one in the same
building in which saloon is already
established.
Mr.. Rooney addressed the board in
support of the remonstrance, and at the
conclusion of his remarks it was voted
unanimously not to allow the proposed
new saloon to be opened.
MINOR MATTERS.
A communication was received from
citizens of Grand Island requesting the
board TO appoint John w. Ferris to the
vacancy in the Trusteeship of that re-
clamation district caused by the death of
George L. Figg.
The petition was granted by the unan-
imous vote of the board.
Supervisor Curtis called atsention to
the unprotected condition of a portion of
the embankment on Twelfth street. 1t is
high, steep on the sides and built of light,
sandy material, which is torn away more
or less every time a drove of cattle is
driven over it. a few rods of fence would
protect it.
Mr.. Curtis was instructed to have the
necessary fencing constructed.
Philip Riehl of Freeport was present
and discussed with mem bers of the board
the necessity for a better and safer road
along the river below Freeport The only
way to get good road there is to have it
on the top of the leyee, and the opinion
OF the majority of the board, informally
expressed, seemed to be that the ievee
should be raised and widened by using
dredgers IN the river.
The board then took recess until 10
O'Clock this monring.
