Public improvements and Citizens
Commitsees 80 Meet.

The public Improvement committee or
the city council, composed OF Messrs-
Davidson. Herman, and Lulins viii meet
with q committee of citizens interested in
the buncIng Of the levce on Little river
next saturday at O'Clock. There has
been considerable ta-E about getting out
an injunction against the city for the
construction of the dam just below Cen
trail avenue and this meeting VIII he held
to effect some kind of compromise on the
question The citizens along Little river
south OF the dam between the dam and
the mouth OF the river claim that when
the dam is built and the big Arkansas
river gets on a rampage that a great
amount OF sediment carried 10y that river
Is deposited i'm the low lands adjacent
to the mouth Of the Little river. They
claim that this sediment is continually
puing up and now when the big river is
high it overaows the property along the
bank. The ground along the river is
rather low and the big river does not
need % get very high before The water
runs out on the land. But the property
owners along the river claim that this
condition viii be worse when the dam is
built than before. They claim chat when
the dam was washed out three or four
years ago that the water from the big
river backed up the river 10 "a great dist
ance and therefore did not deposit so
much fifth in one place Is it does when
the dam IS in place When the Big Ar
k1nsas is high the water backs up as far
as the dam and cannot go any further.
and as the dirt goes to the bottom very
rapidly when the water is not flowing
the bottom of The river is filled up and
thus causes the overflow.
None of the men who are aEitating the
levee question want the dam 10 be torn
away. hut rather want it built. as it
would enhance the beauty OF the park,
but an tho people who own property
along the banks want the levee built Tor
their own protection
small levee has been built along the
does not go far enough 20 protect those
who are near rhe mouth of the river.
some Of the property owners along the
river think that the levce VIII not cost
the city more than SEQ and think that
the city should build it Tor them. They
do not ask the building Of the ievoe as a
donation. nor do they wish the dam to
be taken away. hlit they want a levee
ana they want it bad
AT the meeting tomorrow some pro-
vision VIII surely be made fer the pro-
lection os property owners in that dis
trict and there viii be 10 injunction filed
against She building OF the dam The
entire question VIII be settled amicahiy.

TWO BARNS BURNED
Owned by Mrs. Polk and Mr.
AyIeSbury.
CAUSE Is A MYSTERY
Property Set on Fire by Some
Person.

At 1890 last night someone in the
Twelfth street depot Of the Missouri Pa
cifc, saw fire in the barns near the cor
ner Of Tenth ard Market and turned in
an alarm. The fire was in the barns of
mrs. w. a. Polk. u1 North Lawrence
and Charles AyIsbury. --S5 North Market
The barns were almost entirely destroyed
They are worth about 500 each. and as
FAR as could be learned, they were both
covered by insurance Mrs. Polk Is in
Boulder. Colo, and Mr.. Aylesbury is also
in the mountains. How the fire caught
at that time of night is mystery. There
were no electric wires in either building
and no ore had been in either fer several
hours before the fire was discovered.
Tho ere broke out suddenly and in a
moment the two buildings were in flames
There Was a high wind and The flames
were carried to the house of Mrs. Polk
and this was damaged TO the extent Of
about $50
The house Of Harry Comely, just north
Of the Polk property. was also on fire,
but very slight damage was done. Four
streams of water were thrown on the
fire, and within half an hour after the
fire was discovered, It was under con
troll. There was no one in the house OF
Mrs. Polk. but the Misses Faber. who
were awakened 10y the calling OF someone
in the Harry Comely house. They We're
both asleep and for the first few mo-
ments did not know what was wanted.
Then they heard the clang of the bells
on the fire wagons and looked out and
the barn ana house were On fire. They
rushed out and attempted to save the
property and the neighbors came to their
aic There was quite q crowd around
when the fire companies arrived. At first
the Misses Faber thought that Tom.
the old family horse, belonging to Mrs.
Polk. was burned. but after the fire was
nearly out, tho horse was found in the
corral with not a hair scorched- lie mad
broken out of the burning building into
the corral AS both of the owners of the
property are away. the exact extent of
the loss viii not be known until they are
heard from.
