A couple OF weeks ago we called at
tention Co the bad crossings OF the
Milwaukee road in this city and town
ship. This week we wish TO call the
attention Of the city council TO the
crossings Of the G. 4 NV. on Superb
or avenue. The Columbia mine cross
Ing Is very dangerous one and the
crossing at the foot OF the street Is
worse yet. All that is necessary TO
get electric bells at these places is for
the council TO take Official action and
make a request. Railroad companies
seldom refuse u request Of the kind as
they know that it is as much 10 their
interest as that Of tire public. When
will you act, gentlemen?

The city council met Wednesday
evening 70 decide upon the question
Of purchasing the eleven tNuite"
lamps recommended by the board Of
public works. The members Of the
council were unanimously against the
proposition. In conversation with a
member Of the council after the meet
ing he informed a representative Of
THE DIAMOND DRILL that the princi-
pal reason for the turning down Of the
proposition was that the members
thought it best to invest any spare
money in an extension Of our water
works system Or in moving and equip
ping the present lighting plant.

What about that extension Of the
water mains to Maple Grove? Ger
tainly the people over there ought to
have fire protection. We are perfect
ly aware that the funds are low and
that IL will take considerable money
to do the work but, If we remember
correctly, the money was raised for
that purpose In the last tax levy and
il is no more than justice TO the
Maple Grove residents that move Of
some kind should be made towards
the extension even II it goes no further
than the laying out Of the course the
mains are TO take.
Two clerks Of the tax commission
were In the city during the week
securing information for the use Of
the commissioners. They had list
0f all the transfers made In the city
apd township during the last five
years and they compared the values
mentioned IN the deeds with the value
the assessors placed upon the same
property this year. BY this means
they hoped to get the proportion OF
the assessed value OF the county TO
the true cash value. They visited !
the towns OF the county.
