II. Van Buskirk presented a bill OF
1888 for services as special police.
It was rejected on the grounds that
he was not legally appointed. 1t
seems that a resolution requires a
written appointment OF a police
man by the mayor and since Mr..
Van Buskirk was not appointed in
this particular manner he was not
legally appointed, consequently the
council refused to allow the bill.
City Attorney Trebby was granted
leave of absence extending to July
II. His place will be- filled by At
torney F. w. Lyon. Mr.. Trebby
will leave Saturday for a trip along
the Pacific coast. He will be in
Portland on July 4, as delegate OF
the state to the National Editorial
convention which will be held in that
city next week.
AS the various sports for Fourth

company also gives 800 in behalf Of
it's hose companies which will take
part in the various contests.
A deed, from A. G. Morrill,, for land
in the vicinity of Berg's addition
was filed for correction. The deed
was made out to the aldermen in
stead OF being made out in favor OF
the city. The land included in the
deed is one-half of the street in front
OF Berg's addition. :1'hfs strip be-
gins at the north line of section s,
and runs south intersecting at
Broadway and is thirty-three feet
wide. Also an extension of Sixth
avenue northeast beginning at
Ninth street and running east to
Berg's addition. This land is decided
to the city by Mr.. Morril for the pur-
pose of forming streets.
A petition from JAG. Kiewel was
read before the council. 1t called for
the vacation of half OF Fifth avenue
northe asst between Seventh and
Eighth streets. This is part of the
street north OF his brewery. Mr..
Kiewel built large brick engine
house and sometime afterwards
when the land was surveyed it was

out in the street. If the council will
vacate that portion of the street Mr..
Kiewel will deed to the city an

have Mr.. Keiwel's petition pub
lished.
A proposition was read from Mrs:
M. E. Butler which offered the city
the unoccupied portion of the north
west corner of block Is, OF the origin
al townsite, which they could use as
market place. The land mentioned
is that east of the premises occupied
by Mrs. E. s. Smith and Mrs. E. E.
Stuart. A resolution was then
passed by the council which fixed a
market place for the eastern and
western parts of the city. That
land designated for the West side
market place are lots from ~ to l6
inclusive situated in block 63, of
Thayer's addition to the city of
Little Falls; and for the East side
that mentioned in Mrs. Buffers
proposition. The resolution is now
in the hands OF Mayor Vasaly for his
consideration. This question is one
which must be decided one way or
the other soon, for parties living in
the vicinity of the present market
place have raised objections to it's
being located there, and for the rea-
son that it is fast growing too small.
The following men had made ap-
plications for liquor licenses: John
Dolan, G. E. Carlson, V. Januszew-

given a hearing as advertised and as
no one entered opposition they will
be allowed at the next meeting the
council.
