THEY'VE HELD ANOTHER.
The Council Gives 500 To-
ward the Street Fair-TWO
Liquor Bonds Approved.

The city council held a regular ad-
journed meeting at the city hall on
Monday evening. The aldermen
present were Martin, Mecusker, Hill,
Peterson and Lane. Those absent
were Carlson and Moeglein. Hill
was chosen as temporary chairman
of the meeting because the perma-
nent president was absent.
On motion duly seconded and car
ried the reading OF the June minutes
was dispensed with and at the same
time approved. All bills were laid
over until the meeting to be held
Monday, Aug. Z.
The reports handed in by the two
justices OF the peace were referred to
the:scity attorney.
The two following liquor bonds
were approved and the city clerk in
structed to grant a license to each
applicant: Tom Monohan, with j Ohm
Dolan and w. NJ. Fuller as sureties;
r. Marotte, with Eugene Pilon and
n. NORM as sureties.
Street Commissioner Hills report
of $500. Al for work during the month
OF July was approved.
Delegates from the West side fire
company were present and brought
the attention OF the council to the
fact that something must be done in
regard to the West side fire bell.
There is a crack about ten inches
long in it which renders it useless.
The matter was referred to the fire
committee, with instructions to in
vestigate and act.
George La Fond, who is looking
after the interests of the Street Fair
which is to be held this fall, was pres
ent at the meeting and asked the
council for financial aid. They passed
a resolution which donated 800.
The introduction of this resolution
was the occasion of considerable
talking on the part of various MEM
beers of the council. While the giving
of this amount met with favor
by most of the councilmen, it was
strongly opposed by others. An aye
and nay vote was taken and the res
olution adopted by a vote standing
4 to l.
The only bill allowed was that OF
James Tanner, OF $12.75, for street
work. This would not have been
allowed at this meeting had it not
been for the fact that it is about a
month and half old and that Mr..
Tanner is, at present, in need of the
money.
Delegates from Chemical company
No. were present at the meeting
and asked the council to take some
definite action in regard to furnish
ing an engine house and meeting
place in the Second precinct OF the
Second ward. 1t seemed to be the
opinion of the committee that the
house should be located on one o
the four corners at the intersection
of Seventh street and Sixth avenue
north.
The subject was discussed at
length and finally the matter OF
looking up a location for Second
precinct house, the cost and the
finding OF a temporary place for stor-
ing the chemicals, was referred to
the fire committee, with instr uctions
to report at the next meeting of the
council.
The north wagon bridge was an
other matter discussed: Various
things in connection with it were
spoken of, but no definite action
taken toward accepting it. An ef-
fort is to be made to better the road
facilities where the one from Green
Prairie connects with the city's high
ways. The present road, just above
the lumber yard, is not a legal one,
as it has been built across land be-
longing to private parties.
Mr.. Mcclure. residing in st. Cloud,
owns considerable land in that part
of the city. He has signitied his will
lingness to dedicate to the city a
strip of land running from MasOn's
outlOts south on the quarter section
line to Tenth street, dedicated the
city by NJ. NJ. Williams. This street
runs east and west and meets the
river in the vicinity of the wagon
bridge. The city attorney will cor
respond with Mr.. Mcclure in regard
to the matter.
The council adjourned until Aug. Z.
