VACATED STREET l
City Treasurer's Annual And
Quarterly Reports APP
proved-Bills Allowed.

The city council held a regular ad.
journed meeting at the city hall Mon
day evening. All aldermen were
present. II
The real object OF the meeting was
to act upon the vacation OF some
streets on the West side preparatory
to the building Of the new railroad.
The resolution presented to the
council asking for the vacation OF
the streets was read, and upon TAX
ing an aye and nay vote was unan-
imously carried.
The streets vacated were those
parts of First, Second, Third,
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues
northwest that lie west Of the alley
passing through blocks 4, Is, %, 30,
3S, 40 and 50, and the alley in block
50; all in Thayer's addition to the
city OF Little Falls.
Martin made a motion and it was
carried that the city clerk should
make report at the next regular
meeting of the orders he has drawn,
giving the amount, for whom and
for what each was made out for.
He is to make this report at the
same time presenting his bill for en-
ira work to an expense committee
consisting of Martin, Hill, Peterson
.andC ity Attorney Trebby.
The contract of the Transcript
Publishing company for the city
printing and bond for same was APP
proved, with Dura Corbin and G. w.
Woodwork as surties.
The street grader, which the
council gave permission sometime
ago to have sent here on trial, was
talked OF for a while. Austin 4
Western company, limited OF Chi
cago, are the manufacturers OF the
machine. They have sent Il. F.
Deming here to test it. He said the
machine was now set up and that
he was willing to give it a trial any
time. The council set no definite
date but thought that Thursday
forenoon would present as good an
as any. 1t will be apt
to be tried in the vicinity OF the
Lincoln school building on the West
side.
Mat Krause, the cattle herder, told
a few OF his troubles to the council.
1t seems that the land owned, in the
eastern part OF the city, by krause
and Peter Lemay, joins. Lemay
wants a street to pass between their
possessions and krause doesn't.
Krause claims that as often as he
builds fence to inclose his property
Lemay pulls 1T + down. 49, Krause
claims that he had Le1nay' in the
Justice court but that it had done no
good so he wanted the council to
settle the matter. But since there is
no street there it is not city prop
erty, conseq uently the council hasno
power or authority to interfere in
their petty troubles.
The street commissioner was in
structed to examine the side walk
on the east side OF, the Baily block
and that if found in an unsafe condi-
ton to replace it with a new one.
The annual and quarterly reports OF
City Treasurer Simonet were &C
