For some unknown reason City
Engineer Peterson has neglected to
meet Major Morrill, and lay out the
proposed new road from the north
wagon bridge part way to Little
Fix. He has been instructed twice
to go ahead with the work but has
never done 50. The council is grow
ing impatient as are those who
travel the old road. Peterson was
again instructed to go ahead with
the work as soon as possible. The
street commissioner was instructed
to commence work on the city's
share of the road as soon as the sur
veyor stakes it off. The city fathers
held a short discus ion relative to
the issuing Of bonds to cover
the floating debt which was
estimated to be at present from 1884,
coo to $50, 900 and perhaps even more.
Each Of the councilmen said they
had talked with numerous business
men OF the ciCy about such an action
and each seemed to be- in favor OF
it. BY the issuing OF bonds the city
would save money on interest. As it
is they pay per cent where if they
issued bonds it would reduce as low
as 4 percent and perhaps even lower.
The alder men decided to talk with
individual parties farther in regard
to the matter and not to take any
action for. couple of meetings to
come.
| The way some people are obstruct.
ing the streets was called to the at.
tention OF the council and the privi
lege some take in using the high
ways for various purposes was also
mentioned. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the various councilmer
that property owners were overstep
ping their bounds and that the
street commissioner should look in
to the matter and clear out streets
OF certain distractions such al
wagons, boxes, etc.
They also talked about the heat
ing apparatus to be put in city hall
No action was taken. The council
decided to fit all windows of tn,
city hall with storm windows THU
winter and also to improve th(
doors of the building. They will b.
made tc fit closer and so arranged
that they will stay shut.
1t was moved and carried that th'
bill of Jacob Kiewel of $lS45 fol
coal, be drawn from the fire fund
The Gross-Hall ordinance wa
modified and passed. The origina
