Grand avenue will be paved, not in
part, but the entire length of the street
| from East Main street to the city linn
| its. The battle between the aldermen
closed Monday evening and only two of
the eight aldermen voted against the
| paving. Six votes were required to
pass the resolution and the aldermen
who opposed its passage seemed GER
tain Monday that a deadlock would
result, but the report brought in by the
committee was changed in such man
ner that two of the bucking aldermen
changed and voted for the paving,
thus giving it the desired votes. The
resolution as passed provides that the
entire street be paved, and that what
ever faYors may be received from the
railroad company shall be equally
divided among the property owners
both east and west of the railroad.
Aid. Tarbell held out to the last to his
point that if the street was paved the
bridge should be raised until it CORES
pended to the grade OF the paving.
The earlier part of the evening was
spent in opening the bids for the con-
struction of several new sewers in diff
ferent parts of the city. Seven bids
we're sent IN, but all of them vary to
such an extent that it would be almost
impossible to say who had the lowest
bid and the bids we're taken under con-
sideration by the sewer committee and
the contract will be awarded probably
to one party. The composite bids of
the Reichert Construction Company
and Harding & Nelson, both of Racine,
we're the lowest.
The residents of Milwaukee avenue
registered kick on the single ring
sewer now being put in and asked that
two ring sewer be put in.
This brought the Champion of
Democracy" from the second ward to
his feet and he talked for quite awhile
on the beauties of Milwaukee avenue.
The speech was ineffective and the
petition took the usual course, being
sent to the sewer committee.
Milwaukee avenue will be dry dur
| ing the coming summer, the prayer of
the petitioners against it being sprink-
led being granted.
The committee on sewers reported
favorably on sewers on Wisconsin
street and Lemon street, and that bids
be asked for to be opened at the next
regular meeting.
| Under communications the old pick
against Mike Links bowling alley came
up and the aldermen of the ward
reported that they had carefully inves
tigated the matter and found that the
place was run in very orderly manner.
The champion of Democracy intro
duced resolution demanding that the
Weekly Union be made an official paper
of the city. but the resolution was lost
by the customary vote of five to four.
John T. Yule appeared and brought
up that cid story of the toboggan slide
in front of his residence on Park avenue
The complaint of Mr.. Yule was referred
to the committee on streets and alleys,
who will look over the ground today.
The Allen tannery strike received its
first official notice in the council when
mayor Petit requested that the special
police appointed be confirmed and or
dered paid. The request of the mayor
was granted. Aldermen Weier and
German voting nay.
Aid. Berns, in behalf of the Board of
Health, introduced milk ordinance,
to provide for the delivery of pure milk
in the city. The ordinance was passed
by a unanimous vote of the mayor and
council.
The ordinance provides that every
one selling milk from one or two cans
shall pay a license of 80 cents, and
those selling from over two cans shall
pay ST. as license. The ordinance
further provides for strict examina-
ton of sanitary condition of the stables
and places in which the cattle are kept
and for regular tests of the milk sold
in the city. Any dealer found guilty of
selling milk under the quality demand
ed by the test may be fined and have
his license revoked
The bids for sprinkling Prairie ave-
nue. were opened and the contract
awarded to j. FL. O'Brien at a rate of
IL cents per lineal foot.
Council adjourned to meet again next
Thursday evening.
