The city council met in a regular
adjourned session at the city hall
Tuesday. All of the aldermen were
present. The council proceeded to
transact what business they had to
do without any delay.
Street Commissioner HILLS report
Of $177.37 was approved. 1t is not
customary to approve this report
until the first of each month but as
some laborers, were depending Upon
the city for money to go to the Da-
kota harvest fields this action was
taken to help them out. The coun-
Gil vacated part of Fifth avenue
northeast in the vicinity Of Kiewel's
brewery This vacation was de-
sired by Mr.. Kiewel as some OF his
brick buildings are in the street a
short distance. Other residents in
that part of the city did not object
to the vacation for they signed q
petetion to that effect. Mr.. Kiewel
deeds the city some of his land in ex-
change for that part of the street
which he occupies.
An amusing incident occurred
when a vote on the above was
taken. Clerk Hall thought he would
change the order Of roll last night on
the street vacation matters, and SO
he called Peterson's name first. The
council suspended business on the
roll call long enough to emphatical-
~ instruct the city clerk to call the
roll in the'usual manner. Hill was the
only alderman to- respond with a
negative.
Mrs. Joseph Trettle was present at
Tuesdays meeting, seeking further
aid from the city. She asked that
she might have the privilege of plac-
ing four OF her children in the con-
vent. She thought that if the city
would stand this expense she would
be able to support herself and child.
The matter was referred to the poor
committee with power to act.
The police bills, which were referred
to the city attorney for correction,
were returned to the council for cor
rection. The bills of G. Colts, II.
Green and II. Schron, of $3 each for
special police service, were allowed.
The bills of P. Lauerman. F. Heroux
and Thos. Cannon. each for the sum
Of $84 for special police service, were
rejected. H. G. Van Buskirk's bill
for police service was referred back
for correction. The dates of the
days he acted as police were not COR
rect SO that had the council allowed
the bill it could not be shown that
they had really paid him for part
of his service.
The location of the those house in
the second precinct of the Second
ward was talked of at length. The
people residing in that part of the
city cannot agree upon location.
Some want it. one place and some
another. A number of petitions call
ingrfor different locations have been
presented to the council for con-
sideration. Various delegates have
Expressed their opinions before that
body, etc. The subject
was laid to rest by instructing the
clerk to advertise for sealed bids for
the location OF an engine and hose
h ouse, the site to be a corner lot
on Seventh street not further south
than Sixth avenue northeast and
not further north than Eighth
avenue northeast. The bidders to
furnish an abstract title with their
bid. These bids are to be opened at
the next meeting of the council
which will be held Tuesday, Aug. 49,
Henry Benttield handed a letter to
the council in which he stated that
w. S. Mott company, OF Minneapolis,
has shipped some hose to the city.
He said that the city has about
thirty-three hundred feet of hose ON
hand and thnt that was certainly
to meet all needs. This re-
port, as it was called, was accepted
and the clerk instructed to send a
copy of it to w. S. Mott company.
A. K. Hall was present and re-
newed the memories OF the alder
men that about three years ago they
had passed a resolution ordering a
built on the east side OF
Second street from Broadway to
Sixth avenue north. A very small
portion of the walk has been built.
He also said that the walk in front Of
