Mr.. Eveleigh presented three petit
tlons from people living in the East
End of the city asking to pave the
streets from Fourth east to Sixth on
Hart, from Hart to Wayne on Sixth,
from Sixth to Pike on Wayne. He said
that IL there is any place in the city
which needs paving It Is these streets,
especially when one considers the
great amount of travel on them. He
also said that there was a petition out
among the property owners for paving
Pike street but 1t was nOt yet ready to
be presented.
The Clerk read the petitions, which
were signed by nearly all of the prop
erty owners and by great majority of
the frontage.
Mr.. Curtis made a motion to refer
the matter to the Street committee.
Mr.. Wood said that ifthey intend to
pave this year, it is time they were
taking some steps to get some money
for the purpose There Is not enough
money on hand to do this work and
that it is. folly to talk of paving with,
Aoui money. Mr. Curtis explained that
his idea in making the motion was TO
get the matter before the COMMITTEES
when they could make the. necessary
investigation and report. The omtion
prevailed. .H!''
The residents along Clifton street
asked for a sidewalk grade. The En-
gineer was instructed to make inves-
tigaAon and report grade to the Coun-
Gil for their approval.
A petition was presented, signed by
S5 persons, asking that the use of the
Ice Harbor lot as a dumping ground for
garbage be abandoned, as the burning
of the stuff deposited there is very Of
fensive to every one who has any oc-
casion to be on Front street. Mr..
Blume said that he Thought the dump
ing of garbage should be stopped, but
that he understood that the Board of
Health had a committee to ask that
garbage committee of Council meet
them Thursday evening to discuss the
matter of getting another place to dis
pose of the garbage. He therefore
made a motion that the mater be laid
on the table until such time as the
committee might meet the Board of
Health and make some disposition OF
the matter, and to instruct Mr. Loffl-
and not to burn any more of the gar
bage un-.l after the meeting, The mo-
ton was afterwaId amended to lay the
communication on the table until next
Tuesday night. In the event that the
committee cannot get together this
week there will be something done
about the matter The motion as
amended prevailed.
In the discussion of the garbage
question, Mr. Wood recounted the ,ex-
periences of the Garbage committee
two years ago in trying to find q
dumping place for the city garbage. He
said that It could dsnot- be done without
great deal of trouble and that there
would likely be some one arrested if
there were an arrangement made with
one farmer to dump it on hfs place, be-
cause it might be nuisance to another
Mr.. Storck asked what could be done
with the rubbish during the time the
investigation was being made The
Mayor stated that 1t is thought an ar
rangement can be made with Streck-
er's Fertilizer Works to take the gar
bage and use it.
A communication from the Board of
Health, calling the attention of Coun-
Gil to the defective condition OF the
surface drains in some parts of the

meet the Board of Health at the time
mentioned.

A communication from Chas and q
T. Darrow, stating that they have
completed their contract with the city
for the construction of the sewer on

! ton of the sewer taken up and relaid
that the plans, grades and profile pap
