CITY HALL. FLOTSAM
The mayor says that his position has
not been altogether correctly reported
upon the subject of that $1,000 appropria
tlon for the Fourth OF July. The only
part he has taken in the matter. the
mayor says, was to intimate to some
of the memebrs of the council that if the
city had money for Fourth of July
celebration it should also have funds
with which to clean the streets of the
city ana keep them clean.
Through the efforts OF Mayor RAIDER,
Superintendent Muir of the Southern
Pacific has agreed to at once place safe
ty gates across Seventh. First and
Also streets where those thoroughfares
int-rsect the railroad tracks on Alameda
street.
1t cost just $50 to decorate the citv
hall for La Fiesta. The requisition Tor
the supplies needed to do the thing
right will come before the council next
Monday.
f. c. Chinoworth the sub-contractor
for the grading and paving of Main
street, withdrew his men Tuesday. This
alarmed many of the property owners
along the line. as the street is torn up
in places from Ninth to Twenty-seNenth,
and it was feared that work had stop
ped pending the rehearing of the bond
case before the supreme court. The
contractor says. however. that the work
of grading is only temporarily suspend
ed to allow Gray Bros. and Ward to
catch UP with the curbing: that the re-
hearing in the bond case will have moth
ing to do with the progress of the work,
as the contractors feel amply secured
Gray Bros. and Ward went to work on
the curbing yesterday afternoon.
