that innocent purchasers of the proper
ty may be protected and know Just
what they are getting.
He made a motion to that effect
which prevailed. NE
The President stated that the City
Engineer is asking for more room, and
has been for some time That he sug-
gested that more room might be had
very cheaply If they would cut door
into the room now used for the old
steamer, which would give him a very
convenient room for his draughting
boards and would assist him very
much in tine prosecution of his work.
1t was also stated that as the city had
no place for the storage of street
sweepers since the food that it woulu
be a good idea to have rough build
ing put up back of the city building on
the site intended for the electric plant
that would. accommodate all of tho
tools belonging to the city and also tho
old steamer Then it would be possi
BILE to convert the room it now occupies
into a room for the Engineers use.
On motion the matter was referred
to the Building committee to report at
the next, t,meeting.
Mr.. Wittlfg objected to leaving the
matter to the Building committee for a
rough building, as the people living In
the neighborhood might object to it.
He thought that it would cost very lit
tie more to build fairly good and re-
spectacle building and it ought to be
done.
Mr.. Trautman thought that the mat
ter would be best left until some decis-
ion had been reached in the matter of
building good city building where all
the tools could be taken care of in good
shape. Not spend $3.50 there and then
have it all to do over again when the
building comes to be erected.
The report of the Board of Health
was received and filed. we give it in
another column, excepting the ex-
penses, which were a total of $1004.66.
A plat of property belong to S. H.
Putnam and located between Gilman
and Fort streets at the west end of the
Putnam street bridge was presented
and accepted.
Mr.. William Buck was present and
heard on the condition of Newst at the
railroad crossing of the 2. G. o. r. Ry.
He stated that the matter was very an
noying and that he had tried a number
of times to get the railroad people to
do something toward getting the mat
ter helped, but that he had been un-
able to do so. The water runs down
and stops because of the culvert being
to small to carry it off, and that if
there were a culvert sufficiently large
it would obviate the difficulty. This
matter was referred to the Street COM
mlttee for ivestigation and report.
Mr.. Trautman proposed the question
of what is to be done with the Gilman
street sewer. The time is near at hand
when the people will want to fix up
their property and there is no chance
to use the sewer in the present unfin-
ished state. The Engineer stated that
there has been nothing done towards
finishing the sewer according to the
contract, to his knowledge The city
is holding $500 or $500 which belongs
to some one for this sewer.
The City Solicitor was instructed to
notify the bondsmen to have the sewer
made right within the next ten days or
the city will make it so at the expense
of said bondsmen.
Mr.. Davis said that he had been talk
stand a lawsuit before they would COM
thatthey had one all they intended do
ing to the sewer and that they would
stand a lawsuit beforethey would COM
plebe the sewer.
The President asked the members to

ton and to name them at the next
meeting.
