An Expensive Luxury.

Engineer Thompson said that the
water pipe laid to the hospital last year
from the city mains at an expense of
$500 is an expensive luxury. The cost
of pumping the water to go through
this pipe is $500 year The pipe froze
up last winter and it cost S75 to repair
it to the top of the hill and then it was
abandoned and well water is now used
again. Owing to the various kinds of
repairs needed, there ought to be a
man at the hospital.
Aid. Deebach reported that the insur-
ance on the fire station had been reduc-
ed to SO, 900, and that on the city hall
to S., 500. All of the agents but one
firm had acted with the city, and Aid.
Meyer said that he had almost run his
legs off trying to get this firm to do
something. He would favor cancelling
it's policies unless it came to time. Aid.
Deebach said that he had found it
necessary to run after one of the other
agents seven or eight times before he
could get the matter Strengthened out.

CANDIDATES TALKED OF.
Geo. M. Palmer and VIM. E. Barnard
Mentioned in the Fourth Precinct.

1t is understood that Mrs. B. D.
Smith is not a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the school board from the
fourth precinct, and the voters are
casting about for successor. Con-
siderable sentiment has developed in
favor of Geo. M Palmer. The latter
was elected to the board five years ago,
but soon afterwards moved out of the
precinct and was Obliged to resign. He
showed comprehensive grasp of af-
fairs during his brief service and was
one of the best members on the board.
He would make worthy successor of
Mrs Smith and would have the con-
fdence of all. 1t hoped that he will
consent to the use of his name.
West Mankato people believe that
they ought to be represented on the
board, inasmuch as they have one
school, and they are advancing the
name of VIM. E. Barnard, who would
make first class member.
Rev. Geo. H Davis is being favorably
mentioned in the third precinct

Are the Lights Diluted?

Mayor Currier said that complaint
had been made that many lights have
not been burning.
Engineer Thompson said that good
machinist had told him that he
thought that the lights were merely
being diluted when extra lights are
ordered, as the plant has no capacity
for additional lights.
Aid. Meyer said that he had not OBJ
served any lights out.
Mayor Currier remarked that when
the city gets rich it can have a light
ing plant of it's own.
Aid. Deebach said that the city would
never get rich paying $4,000 to 5000 a
year for lights,
Mayor Currier said that the highest
bidder for the refunding bonds would
furnish the blank bonds for $50 This
would still leave them the highest.
The board of public works reported
the award of the contract for grading
Van Brunt street to E. V. Walters
and the contract for curbing and gut
tering the west side of Second street
from Hickory to Walnut streets to A..
Jefferson & Son. The awards were ap-
proved. Mr.. Walters bond, for S245,
with Fred Eichhorn and Jno. G. Thro
as sureties, was approved.
The June report of Chief Bruels
showed seven arrests and thirty four
dodgers.
A report of street lights not burning
was presented, showing many lights
out.
City Attorney Daley asked for $50
to pay for transcript of the evidence
in the Vosbeck case.
1t developed that the transcript had
already been made on the order of Mr..
Pau before the latter's term bad ex-
pired, and the council took no action.
The transcript will not be needed I'M
less the demurrer to the complaint is
overruled.

The SprinkIing Criticised.

Mayor Currier asked whether an ar
rangement could not be made whereby
the sprinklers could shut off the water
on the street crossings, as is done in
other cities
President Porter said that it could be
done but would probably result in
much more dust.
Aid. Leonard remarked that the gut
tiers are not sprinkled.
Aid. Weed said that the Mankato
sprinklers are out of date In New
Ulm there are some in use that are
much better.
Mr.. Thompson said that the cutters
are not sprinkled on account of teams
being there. In some cities teams are
not allowed to remain more than fifteen
minutes in one place, and this rule
might we'll be adopted here.
Aid. Leonard had a complaint to
make in regard to the manner of
sprinkling certain streets. On one or
two streets the sprlnklers have not been
there, and on others the sprinkling is
insufficient
President Porter said that people
should complain to the board. Up to
date there has not been a single COM
plant north of Main street received by
the board. Two or three complaints
from south of Main street had been
promptly attended to.
Aid. Leonard said that people do not
like to complain, as the contractor is
given their names and dumps quantities
of water in front of their property.
Mr.. Porter said that complaints to
the board would be attended to i'm
mediately.
The board of public works asked for
$3.50 for the streets and $50 for water
works. There is some storm damage yet
to be attended to, after which the requi-
sitions would be smaller. The requisi-
ton was allowed.
President Porter said that South

mittee on property knew this and ought
to report on it.
Aid. Deebach said that the cement
specified is not used, Austin being
substituted for Mankato. He thought
that the architect who is doing the su.
pervising ought to attend to such
things as this,
Aid. Meyer moved that the city engi.
neer see that the specifications are com,
piled with.
Recorder Williams said that the
architect had come around Friday and
rejected some stone.
Aid. Jordan said that when plans
and specifications specify Mankato
cement our builders ought to use it and
do right by the city which uses them
right. The cement in the fire station
was to be Mankato cement, but not ten
barrels went into it. The contractors
in Mankato do as they please. Mr..
winners is probably being influenced
by some one to use other cement.
Contractor winners said that he had
ordered Mankato cement of the Man
kato Lime and Stone Co. and it had
sent the wrong cement.
Engineer Thompson said that no
cement has yet been used, only brown
lime being used.
Aid. Meyers motion prevailed.

The aldermen were in particularly
critical mood Friday and goodtmany
things came in for a share in the turn
ing over. Mayor Currier presided and
all of the aldermen were present
W. N. Plymat came before the meet
ing and objected to his assessment for
the South Fifth street sewer. He COLI
sidered that new system had been
adopted in making his assessment.
Heretofore, each side of the street has
paid one .half of the expense, and he is
willing to pay this. In this case, he
had been taxed every dollar that it had
cost to construct the sewer in front of
him. The board of public works claims
that some of the property cannot be as
sessed. In West Mankato hundreds of
dollars were spent in making improve
ments, also north OF the city on the st.
Peter road, and it seems as though the
city could do something on Fifth
street. The cost of the sewer is but
434 cents foot, which is less than
many of the sewers have cost. Mr..
Plymat's assessment is 1858, whereas
he thinks that $52. ID would be enough.
President Porter stated that the state
would donate S75 toward the cost of the
sewer, which would be two-thirds of
the normal school assessment if it
could be assessed.
Mr.. Plymat said that the Goodwin
property is not assessed as the sewer is
of no benefit to it. This property is about
one-fourth of the property facing the
sewer.
President Porter said that the assess
ment was made as the law requires, &C
cording to the benefits. After the as
sessment is confirmed, the council can
refund to the property owners if it
wants to. The matter was dropped
here.
A petition was received from First
ward residents asking that the cow Or
dinance be amended so as not to apply
to that ward. 1t contained III names
and was referred to the committee on
ordinances.
