AID. Yule raised a point against
the acceptance of the paving on Mar
ket street. He stated at the council
meeting Monday evening that he had
gone over some of it and had found it
poorly done. In one instance he had
pulled up few bricks and found bed
of exactly four and a half inches of
clear sand underneath. This he stated
would allow the bricks to sink and
render the paving bad job. There
may be trouble over the matter.
"A report of the city attorneys on
the bond filed by the Milwaukee, Ra
cine & Kenosha Street Railway COM
pany was read to the council Monday
evening. 1t advised the rejection of
the bond for the reasons as stated that
there was no time stated in the formal
acceptance of the ordinance when the
board of directors had authorized any
one to accept it, and there was no cor
porate seal on the document and no re-
cital that the corporation had no cor
porate seal if it had none. Aid. Nc
Givern also added that investigation
proved that at least one of the sureties
on the accompanying bond was not
good. The whole matter was laid over
until the next meeting.

n our city. The prices are upon a.
popular plane and the plays and play
rs such as recommend themselves to

While the straight piece running from
over the hind wheel to the
ork upon which the saddle rests is a
trip of fiat iron about an eighth of an
