The City Board of Trustees held an
adjourned meeting last night, Trustees
Leonard, Wachhorst. Davis, Kent, Nc
Kay, Devine, Bentley, Tozer and Pen
Eish being present, and Leonard pre-
siding.
The following messages from the
Mayor were received:
To the Honorable Board of Trustees:
I hereby nominate, and by and with
your consent appoint George X Magic
as a member of the police force in place
of W. p Rutherford, removed.
c. H. HUBBARD, Mayor.
To the Honorable Board Of Trustees:
My attention has been called to the
fact that the boiler and steam pipes at
the pumping plant at Elghtn ana
streets, are in need Of a coat or as
bestos plaster. The contract under
which the pump is being operated binds
the city to keep the machinery in good
and proper repair.
In view of this fact therefore recon-
mend that your honorable board direct
said work to be done at a cost not to
exceed $50. Respectfully submitted,
c. H. HUBBARD, Mayor.
To the Honorable Board Of Trustees:
respectfully call your attention to the
condition of Thirteenth street.
AS you are we'll aware, the sewer
along Thirteenth street has given much
trouble for years past 1t was badly
constructed in the first place, is not
large enough, is also out of line, and is
not on the proper grade. sThe Wnole
sewer should be taken up from street
north, and replaced by much larger
one on the proper grade, and III
straight line.
We may not be able to put in the
whole length of the sewer this summer,
but the work must be done in the near
future, and 1 would suggest that, at
this time, it would be we'll to place the
sewer from the north line of l. street
through the Capitol Park to the south
line of N street. If we wait until after
these two streets are bituminiZed, it
viii not only be more expensive, but 1t
VIII injure and mar the appearance Of
the streets by cutting them open.
am also informed that If this sewer
is constructed through Thirteenth
street the State will bituminize the
roadway through the Capitol Park.
This part of the sewer could be placed
in such a way as to connect at both
ends with the old sewer, and remain SO
until the balance OF it could De taken
up and replaced. The distance is about
1000 feet, and with 22-inch vitrified
stone pipe this portion of the sewer
would cost in the neigh borhood Of
81 800.
therefore respectfully ask that your
1T l. Il
tention. Respectfully submitted,
c. H. HUBBARD, Mayor.
Devine favored the Mayors sugges-
tion with regard to putting in the sewer
and moved that it be included in the
contemplated sewer improvements.
Tozer moved to amend by adding a
sewer on Fifteenth street, from l. to n,
and quite an argument ensued on the
question.
Kent said the amendment was worthy
OF consideration and seconded il, and it
was carried.
In regard to the Mayors message
recommending that a man be kept per
manently in charge of the steam roller,
Devine believed the proposition a good
one, but the board could not act on it
just now. The city should have a man
in charge of the roller. On motion of
Tczer the communication was placed on
file.
The suggestion regarding the asbestos
jacket for the boiler was adopted.
NO ENGINE PARADE.
w. d. Lawton addressed the board
for the Fourth of July Committee, say
ing that it had made extensive arrange
ments for celebrating the day, but felt
that 1t would not be a complete parade
without having the Fire Department
turn out in it The Exempt Ffremen
expected to turn out with an engine
from abroad, and wished to have the
department turn out also, to show by
contrast the improvement in fire ap-
paraituS.
Chief Engineer Guthrie said that he
was opposed to the request. When the
engines are in procession there is so
much noise that the firemen could not
hear the alarm so as 10 distinguish it.
Some years ago an alarm was sounded
while the department was in the pa
rade and ii went four blocks before it
knew there was any fire, and two
houses were burned. He hoped the
board would stand by him in this mat
