and alleys except 10th street from
2nd Ave. to 5th Ave. The poles to
be set wherever the council selects,
and shade trees not to be interfered
with. Work to commence on the
erection of the line within 80 days
The council have under consider.
alton the question of purchasing a
new grader, and laying a sewer on
10th st, from 3,d Ave. north A
sewer on that street will be valu-
able and desirable improvement for
drainage purposes, This work or the
repair of an old one is necessary, con-
sequeutly the putting in of a new
one is preferable, and will add to
the valts of property along 10th St.
IT, tpi,>,cut reason for denying
the application of the Honneger
liscense was. that he had not run his
saloon in conformity with the laws,
and that he did not regard the warn.
ming given him by the former cou-
neil, that a more strict compliance
with the laws must be observed, evi-
dence of the violation being available.
The council did not show a disposi-
ton to Init the Ias ~ nuImaher sof saloons:
but desire that there shall Be q.
reasonable regard for the rights of
the people. mall probability there
will be an application from other
parties.
In the telephone ordinance, alder
man Smith desired to have incorpor-
ated in the permit, a privilege, that
the village at some future time
might assume the ownership of the
local telephone, which was a desir-
able feature, not but what under Mr..
Smallwood's management everything
will be agreeable and satisfactory,
but should there be transfer of the
permit to parties that might not work
in harmony with the interests of the
Village, it would be very unpleasant.
The question of a day policeman,
during the summer months was pre-
sented the council by l.. B. Bennett,
but no action taken. We do not
believe the situation demands a
day policeman. His principle duty
would De TO look after the tramps.
One man can not cover the entire
Village or be stationed for the i'm
mediate use of any certain district,
and leave the others at the mercy of
the intruders.
Later-The council held a special
meeting Tuesday evening all mem-
bers present except Mr.. Palmer.
They decided to lay the 10th street
sewer, commencing a short distance
east of 3nd ave laying to the inter
section of 9Th street thence west
across couple of blocks. Work
will commence as soon as possible.
