Spruce street at Third avenue, and
the report was accepted.
The board of public works reported
in favor of the Warren street water
mains extension, and the placing of
watering trough at the south end of
the Fifth street water main. The
estimated cost of the improvement
is $3.50, and the city has $50 worth OF
material on hand. The extension
will take $50 feet of pipe, and there
is 120 feet on hand. The report was
adopted, after the matter had been
formally referred to the board and re-
ported back.
On motion of Aid. Himmelman,
the city engineer was directed to pur-
chase carload of six inch water
pipe.

Proposed Expenditures Defeated.

The board of public works reported
that the grading of West Eigth street
would cost 1866, and would con-
Venience the property owners.
Aid. Fowler moved that the report
be accepted and sthe work ordered
done. This received no second, and a
motion by the alderman to lay the
report over for two weeks was carried.
The board reported in favor Of grad
ing Fifth avenue, the expense being
estimated at $500, and advising the
postponement of the grading of
Spruce and Chestnut streets for the
present. The cost would be assessed
against the property benefited.
Aid. Bradley opposed the under
taking of unnecessary improvements
at the present time, owing to the
large amount of unpaid special assess
mentS
A motion to adopt the report was
lost by a vote of four noes to two
ayes. The friends of the measure
were Aids. Adams and Peterson.
The board reported in favor of the
extension Of the sewer on Jackson
street from Broad street to the alley
between Fourth and Fifth streets,
the cost being estimated at S4OO.
On motion of Aid. Fritz, the report
was laid over until the next meeting.
E. A. Wilkinson appeared before
the council and urged the good points
of a chemical fire extinguisher.
Aid. Himmelman moved that the
matter of buying two or three of the
chemicals for the hospital be left
with the hospital committee with
power to act, and this .was carried.
They cost SIS each.
Aid. Zimmerman spoke of the boul-
ders which some people have at the
corner Of their curb lines to keep
people from driving over their grass.
The city had lost a damage suit on
account of one of these a few years
ago.
Mayor Pfau said that the city would
no doubt be liable in case of accident
on account of them.
| The matter was referred to the city
engineer, on Aid. Himmelman's
motion, to report on the matter.

will have to put in more. If the
matter is.put off, it will be too late to
put the system in before fall. We
should put in 500 phones here if the
people are as liberal as at Winnebago o
City. We have good exchanges at
Wells, FairmOnt and other places.
The business men there all want to
connect with the business people
here. We are working in connection
with the Western Electric Co., which
has 5000 miles of toll lines. If we
build here, that company, which has
lines in Iowa from the Mississippi to
the Missouri rivers, will come into
Mankato by way Of PipestOne and
New Ulm, and also from the east.
We hope that the council will put
nothing in our way, and feel that the
North Central has had all the time
necessary.
John Klein favored the Blue Earth
Valley Co.'S line. He hoped that the
council would make an end of the
present situation. We want opposi-
tion telephone lines, and many more
people will have instruments.
Aid. Fowler said that Secretary
Totman, of the North Central Co.,
had said that the Blue Earth Co. is
friendly with the North Central COM
pany and does not want to come in
here but wants the North CentraR
franchise extended. There was a
question of veracity.

NEW PRODUCE HOUSE.

J. j. Dayton, Of Lake City, has
moved his branch produce house at
Winnebago City to Mankato. He has
leased and today occupied the old j.
HI. Long building, corner Second and
Walnut streets. A. L. Pdtney will
have charge of the business in this
city. Mr.. Dayton will continue to re.
side at Lake City, where he has a large
cold storage. His decision to remove
his branch house to Mankato was oW,
ing to it's superior shipping facilities
Our people will be glad to welcome
this business.

Petitions.

A petition was received, asking that
Sixth street be graded from Thomp-
son to May streets. Referred to the
street committee.
A petition was received from fifty
property owners asking that the Sill
yer ravine road be widened at it's mar
rowest places.
Aid. Bradley said that the road is
in bad shape and in many places two
teams cannot pass. Mr.. Halstead is
placing fence at places to keep
teams from falling over the Aembank-
ment. Rains wash down the dirt and
make the road narrower. There is
more travel there than most people
think. Good roads is what any town
depends upon for trade. He moved
that the city engineer be requested
to make an estimate of the cost of
widening the road where necessary.
This was carried.
A petition for the grading of an al
ley in block Sc, between Hickory and
Jackson streets, was received and re-
ferred to the board of public works.
A remonstrance against the con-
struction of sewer on Center street
between Bradley and Lewis streets
was received.
Aid. Zimmerman said that the
block from Clark to Bradley streets
will cost more per foot than the next
block, and that it would be better tC
put both blocks in at one time. Other
wise the people between Bradley and
Lewis streets might come in few
weeks after the first block is complet'
ed and want their block built, which
will cost them less, while they will
have all the benefits.
Aid. Bradley thought that the coun
Gil should 90 slow, as the assessment
would be hardship on some people

President Haight's Talk.

Mr.. HaighJ stated that last July
his company and the North Central
company each applied for franchise
and the council granted them both.
Mr.. Smith was ready to get subscrip-
tions, while my company was not so
near ready to go ahead, and stood
back to let the North Central
company cover the field, inasmuch as
it claimed to be ready to do so.
We thought that we would extend
our toll line to the city to connect
with them when they were ready, and
a verbal contract was made to do
business together. We built the
Wells and Wjnnebago City lines to
Rapidan last fall, but nothing was
done by the North Central Co., which
claimed to be still unready to build
The arrangement was then made that
we should build into Mankato, they
to buy our extension and pay in thirty
or sixty days, or some such time. We
built in and started an office on Jack
son street, and waited for the North
Central's to put in an exchange.
That company secured two extensions
Of it's franchise. We have patiently
waited with a great deal of loss for
that company to act. We feel that it
is not just to us to leave the
situation as it is. We are being
pressed by the people of Man

have put in few instruments and
