M|X-UP IN THE COUNCIL
ALDERMEN ENGAGE IN A SPIRITED
DEBATE OVER SELECTION
OF ROAD ROLLER
FUTURE OF THE BETHEL BOA,
Work OF Building the Market Sheds
Awarded to Joliet Com
pany for the sum of
$0,O76.5O.

The purchase by the city of a road
roller and a stone crushing plant. and
the question Of who is best competent to
judge of the merits of the several ma
chimes which have been entered in the
competition, furnished sufficient material
last night to involve d number Of the
members Of the board of aldermen in
rather heated discussion.
Two weeks ago bids were received from
a number of companies for the furnish
Ing of the city with the desired articles
in this particular line, and last night
was received from City Engineer Claus
sen a recommendation advising the pur-
chase of roller from the 0. S. Kelly
company. of Ptttsburg, for $500 and
crushing machine from the Robinson
Carey company for 1850. These companies
were by no means the lowest bidders,
and this called forth a protest from Aid.
Dobner
He moved TO purchase the crushing
plant from the Austin Manufacturing
company for 1898, and this caused Aid.
Knauft to make some rather disparaging
remarks, which Mr., Dobner was quick
to resent. and which later drew an apoI-
ogy from Mr.. Kn4uft.
City Engineer Claussen intlmated that
the agents of the rival machines had
created the trouble, and for the next ten
minutes nearly every member In tho
chamber had taken a hand. In a vote
finally taken to accept the lowest bids, de-
spite the recommendations of the engl-
neer. Aid Dobner's motion prevailed,
though later 1t was reconsidered and the
entire matter sent to the committee on
streets
The future of the old Bethel boat, in
view Of the union depot improvements, IS
largely problem. An effort was made
last night by parties interested to Sc
cure location at the foot Of Jackson
street, but to this Attorney Nelson, who
represented the Diamond 10 company,
protested, Contending that it would in
and block the docks. The matter was
referred to the street committee for set
Element.
For the construction Of the market
sheds on the Jackson street site, four bids
were received. The work was awarded
to the Joliet Bridge and Iron company,
their bid, exclusive of the iron roofing,
being S9,085O. -a--.. ..,
In line with this same project. the
legal department was instructed to pre-
chase Of the Davidson tract. The city
is to pay $1,000, receive the deeds and
provide for the remainder of the money
in next years tax levy.

BAR APARTMENT HOUSES
COUNCIL TAKES POSITIVE STAND
TO KEEP THEM OFF SUM- E
NIT AVENUE
REJECTS ANOTHER REQUEST
After Having Allowed the FOunda-
ton to he Laid, the City
Fathers Refuse the
Application.

The right OF the city TO prohibit the
erection of apartment houses and fiat
buildings ON Summit avenue is now In a
fair way to be tested in the courts.
Acting on resolution passed by the as
sembly week ago and presuming that
the board of aldermen at its meeting last
night would concur, Building Inspector
Wheeler yesterday refused the applica-
ton of George A. Could of Minneapolis.
for permit for the erection of an apart
ment house to be located on Summit ave-
nue., near Floral avenue. The building Is
to cost s85. 900 and is to extend back fifty
feet from the street line.
A month ago Mr.. Gould obtained per-
nit for the construction Of the founda-
ton for the building, it alone costing
5000. This has been completed and now
awaits the superstructure, the permit for
which was asked yesterday and was re-
fused
While the resolution has passed both
bodies, receiving concurrence from the
board of aldermen last night, it Is by no
means a legal restriction, as 1t has not
yet received the signature of the mayor
or been published. In denying the right
of property owners to erect Apartment
houses on Summit avenue. it extends the
prohibitive district from Selby to Clevc-
land avenues and it is in this district
that Mr.. Gould's house is to be built.
Mr.. Gould will go before the council and
ask for a special permit and If 1t Is re-
fused will then appeal to the courts by
mandamus proceedings. 1t is possible
that he may take this course without
asking the council to recede from its posi-
ton.
The sentiment against such buildings
on Summit avenue Is general and this
fact prevents many from furnishing an
opinion as to the validity of the prohi5-
tive resolution passed by the council. 1t
is generally conceded, however, in the
present. cases, that the city will have to
grant the permit. The legal department
intimate as much.
The hope is entertained that the ma ter
will reach the courts, as there is a gem
eral desire to see the question tied fer
all time to come. 1t may net be known,
but there are number of big apartment
houses contemplated for Summit avenue
and the parties interested wish to know
their rights in the case
Mr.. Gould does not seem worried over
the refusal for a permit except that 1t
hinders the progress of the building. He
smiles at the statement that he will be
ultimately stopped from erecting the
building on the street.

DIED OF DIPHTHERTA.
FORD NATURE OF DISEASE
IS KNOWN

Sherman Stevens, an eight-year-old boy
who lives at 108 East Seventh street, died
Monday evening Of what has since
proved to be diphtheria. He had been
i'll for a day or so. and Monday after
noon physician was sent for, but was
UEable to answer the call until in, the
evening. About 8 o'clock DR.. Hesslegrave
was sent for, and came in a few min
utes only to find the child dead. Coro-
rer Miller was summoned and had the
body removed to Dampier's undertaking
rooms. DR.. Miller then learned that an
other boy in the family had been affected
with a sore throat, and considered it best
to examine the dead body. The exami-
nation proved that the death was caused
by diphtheria.
The body was prepared for removal
and sent to Saltwater yesterday. Every
precaution was taken to prevent the
spread of the disease, and there is hope
that 1t will be kept under control.

WAGNER LEAVES TOWN.
OFFICER FROM WISCONSIN TAKES
THE ALLEGED FORGER

Sheriff Johnson, of Barron county, Wis
consin, left last night for home, having
in custody ii. G. Wagner. alias Williams,
alias James Lewis. who is wanted on the
charge of forgery. From what could be
learned Wagner, or Lewis, has been doing
land office business in the lumber camps
throughout this state and Wisconsin. Ac-
cording to Deputy Sheriff La Dow, by
whom he was arrested last week, he is
wanted by the Pinkertons for doing
crooked work, and hearing that he
was in custody Sheriff Hawley, of Pine
county, came to the city yesterday with
the view of returning him to that BALI
wick |
1t appears that he has worked a unique
though simple plan. his scheme being to
enter a lumber camp where he would
obtain the names of a number of work
men and afterw ards forge their sigma
lures to time checks.

FIRST Methodist People Pay Last of
Their Mortgage.

DR.. Cowgirl. of the First M. E. church.
announced to his congregation last Sun
oay morning. that the last installment
on the church's mortgage Indebtedness
had been paid.
The debt of $1,000 was incurred through
improvements made in the church pron-
erty In addition to a remnant of the mar
sonage debt at time when the congre
cation was greatly weakened through the
exodus of the people who organized the
Peoples church. AS the debt was not
large enough to imperil the church ana
the burden OF current expense sufficient
ly taxed the resources of the congrega-
ton, no effort was made until about tv.o
and one-half years ago to provide for
the debt. The work has been done very
quietly, the pastor having raised most
OF the subscriptions in the course of his
pastoral visitations, the congregation
never having publicly canvassed. Now
the pastor and people are rejoicing that
the debt is thing of the past.
