rIore CURLING Ordered.

The Board of Public works reported
favOrably upon the petition for the
curbing and guttering of Main street
between Front and Second streets,
the cost being estimated at 1854,
which can be assessed on the property.
Aid. Peterson said that some of the
assessments could not be collected for
years.
Aid. Bradley protested against al
lowing all the petitions for improve
ments before the city knows where
the money is coming from.
Aid. Zimmerman said that the
alderman who now talked economy
had voted to pay over $500 a month
for street lights.
Engineer Haynes suggested that
10 per cent. of the cost be collected
before the contract is let, if lawful.
City Attorney Pau said that he
was unable to find any provision in
the charter by which this could be
done
The report was adopted, Aid. Brad

Supplementing Contract Prices.

The committee or claims ana &C
counts reported in favor of allowing
Jacob Effer 800 on his claim of S162. Is
for extra work on the Hickory street
matchmaking. 1t believed that he
was not entitled to anything under
the contract, but that Mr.. Effer had
not made anything.
Aid. Bradley thought that it
would be a bad precedent to allow a
bonus to contractor who claimed to
have lost money. The contractor
should have known enough to figure
correctly, and it is not the city'S
fault if he figured too low.
Aid. Zimmerman said that the
committee felt like this, also, but
that it was hard to figure on this job,
as it was the first time the city roller
had been used.
Engineer Haynes said that Mr..
Effer had not figured right on his
stone, was not legally entitled to any
more money, but he had made little
or nothing and the speaker would
like to see him get something, al
though it was dangerous precedent
to set.
Aid. Bradley said that he would
never vote to give contractor
bonus, as it is not business, and is not
done anywhere by individuals.
Aid. Andrews said that if the en-
gineer'S estimates were wrong Mr..
Effer ought to given something
President Beatty said that no in
telligent bidder went by the engineers
estimates.
Aid Peterson said that owing to
the novelty of the work with the
roller, no contractor could know eX-
actly how to bid. After this contrac-
tors would know better
Engineer Haynes maintained that
his estimate was correct, and anyone
could prove it by the figures.
The report was adopted, Aid. Brad
ley voting 'no."
The claims committee recommend
the paying of $29.35 to VIM. Irving
instead of S34.35, and also the pay
ment of several other bills for dam
ages caused by the dynamiting for
the excavations for the West Manka-
to water mains. The committee also
reported in favor Of having A. G.
Mehl's request for damages seJtled by
making repairs to his property on
GlenwoOd avenue. The report was
adopted.
The sewer committee reported
favorably upon the laying of sewer
pipe on West Elm street from Front
street to the G. & n. w. track, but
that the work be postponed until
next spring and that the costs be as
sessed upon the property, as is the
custom. The report was laid on the
table.
Jno. A. Willard, of the board of
trade committee on the electric fran
chise, spoke upon the latter matter,
being present with other members of
the committee. He said that unless
the street railway ordinance was cou-
pied with the lighting ordinance it
would be years before MankatO would
have an electric street railway. He
did not expect to live to see an cleo
trio line put in separately. The only
way to secure street cars will be to
couple it with that which will pay
better. He believed that the pro-
jectors would not put in the street
railway, because everybody does that

The City Printing.

A short recess was taken to allow
the printing committee to get to-
gether and present another report.
The majority of the committee re-
ported in favor of making the DAILY
FREE PRESS the official city paper,
being the lowest bidder, while mi
nority report in favor of the ReUie,U
was made. In making the report,
Aid. Bradley said that the committee
had previously reported that the
FREE PRESS was the lowest bidder.
L. P. Hunt was present and stated
that the copy of the bid of last year,
on which the FREE PRESS had secured
the contract had been lost from the
city recorders office, but that prices
had been charged as nearly to the
contract as could be remembered.
He explained the questions that had
been raised in the committee. The
contract ought to go to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder, but whether the
FREE PRESS secured the contract or
not he would like to have the council
to appoint committee to go over the
years bills and he would pay back
any over-charges, If any are
auditing committee to pass on all
bills which it is presumed they have
done and been satisfied. The fault is
in the recorders office in not keeping
a copy of the bid. He wanted to be
treated fairly, and was willing to give
bond of any size to satisfactorily
carry out the contract, If awarded
him.
A motion to adopt the majority re-
port was carried by the following
vote "ayes," Aids. Andrews, Bradley,
Zimmerman and Lille; mays"
Aids. Adams and Peterson.
The resolution confirming this &C
tion was offered by Aid. Bradley and
was lost, the vote being tile as fol-
lows: "Ayes," Aids. Andrews, Brad
ley, and Lille; 'noes" Aids. Adams,
Peterson and Zimmerman.
Aid. Andrews said that the lowest
responsible bidder ought to secure
the contract. He protested against
the dallying along, and did not think
it right that prejudices should inter-
fere in the matter. If theicontract
was not awarded to the lowest bid
ders in other work there would be
general objection over the city. The
aldermen voting for the motion were
not unfriendly to the RevieaU, but had
voted for the lowest bidder, and the
other aldermen ought to be equally
reasonable.
1t was stated that the FREE
PRESS holds over as official printer.
The hearing of the applications for
the vacation of certain streets in
Cummings addition was laid over I'M
til the next meeting.
