DIR. William c. Woodward, the District
Health Officer, has forwarded to the
Commissioners a recommendation that
section I, Article X, of the police regula-
tions. be amended so as to read as fol-
lows:
3;Authorized vehicles of the Police,
Fire, Water and Health Departments
shall have the right OF way in the streets
over all other vehicles, and the sounding
of the bell or gong thereon shall consti-
tute a warning and direction to other
vehicles and pedestrians TO clear the
road
DR.. Woodward calls the attention of the
Commissioners to the fact that. as the
law row stands, the ambhlances of the
department engaged in the transpOrta-
ton of patients suffering with smallpox,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc, and the
wagons engaged In the pound service are
not entitled TO the-right of way. though
the services in which they are engaged
render rapdity of movement essential.

A Discussion of the Subject by the

of Paper From the Ash Dump.

c. b. Hunt. the Computing Engineer,
has submitted the estimate of cost for
laying the sidewalk and setting and re-
setting the curbing on both sides of Co
lumbia Road. between Eighteenth Street
and Florida Avenue The recommended
tion has received the approval of Capt.
II. c. Newcomer and of the Commission
ers. 1t is as follows:
1t is hereby recommended that the fol-
lowing work be ordered under the pro-
visions of the law governing assessment
work: Set new granite curb and lay ce
ment sidewalk the west side of Co
lumbia Road and Connecticut Avenue ex-
tended, from lie Roy Place to California
Avenue, at an estimated cost of 81. 234. to
be assessed against the property abutting
on the west side of said Columbia Road
and said Connecticut Avenue extended,
between the limits named.
Reset curbing and lay cement side
walk on the west side of Columbia Road
from California Avenue to Twentieth
Street extended, ana from Nineteenth
Street extended to Baltimore Street. at
an estimated cost OF s, go, to be assessed
against property abutting on the west side
of said Columbia Road between the limits
named; on the east side Of Columbia Road
from Florida Avenue to Wyoming Ave-
nue., and from the south line of original
Tot II, block Z. Commissioners subdivision
of Washington Heights, to Eighteenth
Street extended. at an estimated cost of
5000, TO be assessed against the property
abutting on the east side of said Column
tia Road between the limits named.
This work was advertised March Ia
1e, e. and 80. 1901. and at the public hear
ing held April 3. 1901, objections were
received, but a written protest, dated
April /, 1901. and received April 3, 1901, is
enclosed herewith in relation to that por-
tion OF the work on the west side of the
street, between Nineteenth and Baltimore
Streets.
THE recommendation for this work in
spite of the protest referred to is made
because the condition of this walk is so
entirely inferior and altogether unsuited
to the Importance of the thoroughfare
and the public needs that its replacement
with a modern walk, which will afford
the use Of the fun width OF the public
space available for pedestrian travel. is
Indicated in the strongest manner in the
interest Of the public health, safety, and
comfort. Probably no more easily justi-
fled case for the initiative on the part of
the Commissioners exists in the District
than in this very locality"

present waterworks plant or the putting
i'll of Il new one. the city authorities are
advertising for bids for the purchase of
the bonds. Bids will be received up to
and including Dec. 1. The proposed new
waterworks bonds are to run twenty
years and draw not to exceed 5 per cent.

In reply to the city's proposal for bids,
the private water company has given
public notice that it has 81 contract and
franchise for the supplying OF water to
the city of Sioux Falls and it's inhabit-
ants. and that as the proposed issue of
bonds and construction OF IL waterworks
system by the city would he an impair
mcnt of the franchise of the company
and Il destruction of it's property. it will.
contest to the utmost the issuance of the
bonds and the construction OF IL water,
