sion last Wednesday evening and al.
lowed more than the usual amount of
bills. The added expense was due TO
the quarantine which had been main.
tanned in the south part OF town during

Monday. This total expense OF the
quarantine to the city has been little
over four hundred dollars. The coun.
Gil also ordered four new stone cross
walks to be put in at the intersection
Of Fourth avenue aud Webster street

vas awarded to Overing Bros. The
cost of the walks will be about fifty
dollars each. This may sound "A little
steep to some, but when O. person stops

inch plank costs between twenty five
and thirty dollars, and that it will last
but two years, and a crosswalE of five
inch sandstone, the same kind as was
used around the new residence OF w.
N. Ri harrison, costs but fifty dollars
and will last forever, 1t Is not SO bad
n. L
be commended for its action.
