NORTH SIDE ALDERMAN RELIN-
OUISHES HIS PLACEIN COUNCIL.
ANOTHER SALOON ORDINANCE
The Old Ordinance will be Repealed and
a New one Passed Which Will Limit
Saloons to Within 200 Feet of
Churches and Schools.

aldermen were present, but IL was
plain to be seen they were in no mood
for attending long meeting and were
DESTROYS of having the agony over as
soon as possible. In order to facilitate
matters the reading of a generous
supply of minutes was postponed until
some evening when the weather was
cooler.
The opening of bids for the con-
struction of sewer on Rowland Ave.
and Market Square was the next mat
ter taken up. The lowest bid was
presented by Harding & Nelson of
Racine and they were awarded the
contract later in the evening. The
contract price was: IL inch pipe sewer
on Market Square, 90c; II inch sewer
on Rowland avenue, $50; Is inch sewer
on Garden street, 97c; Manholes $27.
Catch basins, $26.5O. The work of
constructing these sewers will be
started at once and rushed to com
pletion.
G. F. Stemm appeared before the
Council and asked that an appropria-
ton be made for the assistance of the
committee arranging for the celebration
of the Fourth of July. The oratorY of
Mr.. Stemm and DR.. Farr was so con-
vincing that the city Solons finally
agreed to give the celebration the
magnificent sum of 500.
A petition was presented from % Of
the residents of Grand avenue living
west of the paving asking that the
paving be extended as far west as
Ridge street. The town of Somers
has agreed to pay for the paving of
one half of the remainder of the street
and the work will probably be ordered.
The matter was referred to the sewer
and paving committee to be reported
on at the next meeting.
The Council decided to have an
adjourned meeting on next Monday
afternoon at which time the matter of
refunding the city debt will be the
paramount issue.
A petition was received from T. A.
Letting making an objection to the
assessment of his property for the pay
ing for the Park street pavement. The
petition was referred.
A petition was received that a side
walk be ordered built on the south
side of South street, between Exchange
street and Maiden Lane. The petition
was referred as was a petition for the
extension of the Elizabeth street sewer
from the present point of ending to the
corner of Crate street.
A petition from John Taylor asking
that bis liquor license be transferred to
j. Fl. Shelby was referred to the COM
mittee on license as was the application
for liquor license presented by Chris
Petersen.
The resignation of Aid. FRANKIE was
received and accepted. In his resig-
nation the former Alderman from the
Sixth ward stated that he was DESTROYS
of giving up his seat in the Council on
account of the fact that he was prepar-
ing to move out of the ward he had
represented. Aid. FRANKIE has been a
splendid Alderman and his absence
from the Board will be noticed. In
order to fill the vacancies caused by
the resignation of Aid. FRANKIE and
Brister, the Council decided that a
special election should be held on the
18th of July to choose Aldermen for the
Fourth and Sixth wards of the city.
An invitation was received from A.
P. Dutton, of the Racine County Old
Settlers Association, inviting all the
city officials to attend the coming cele-
bration at Union Grove. The Clerk
was instructed to acknowledge receipt
of the invitation and send the regrets
of the Council.
The awarding of the contract for the
Pearl and Lake street paving caused a
very spirited discussion The fight
was between A. E. Rutledge & Co., of
Rockford, and the Reichert company of
Racine. The cause of the fight was
the fact that the Mayor and some of
the Aldermen were in favor of the use
of the Galesburg brick, which have
been used with great success in Keno
sha streets. The Reichert Construction
company, while it was the lowest bid
der, had not specified the kind of
brick to be used and the Mayor de-
clares that he will not sign any con
tract with the company until he is
certain that the proper kind of brick
will be used.
The matter of appointing fireman
to take the place of Charles Steinbach
who recently resigned his position, was
referred to the committee on fire de-
partment with the Chief added.
The old fight concerning the loca-
ton of saloons in the neighborhood of
churches came up again and an ordi
nance was presented by Aid. Curtis
arranging for the repeal or rather for
the amendment of the ordinonce re-
