luton for Building Of New Side
walk System.
Covers Streets from Second Street to
Ninth Street and from Broad
way North.

Arrangements Made for City Pound
Other Matters Transacted by the
City Council.
A resolution calling for the build
ing of new sidewalks along streets
from Second street to Ninth street
north from Broadway was introduced
in the city council last night by Alder
man Jackson of the committee on
streets, grades and additions, and went
over until the next meeting for action.
The walks contemplated in the reso-
luton will provide the city with much
needed sidewalk, and under the word
ing of the resolution the walks must
be laid by the owners of the abutting
property the coming summer. If the
present plan of the committee is car
ried out the city will have new and
serviceable system of. stone or tile
walks; as good as any in the state.
The council has already provided by
ordinance for walks along the entire
length of Main street. along Broad
way, and between the two streets
along the intervening streets from
Second to Ninth. Last nights resolu-
tion provides for the building of new
walks on Second street, from Broad
way to the corner at M. P Slattery's
residence on the west side of the
street; on Third street, from Main
street to the corner at G. B. Little's
residence; on Fourth street on the east
side of the street from Broadway
north to Avenue F; on Fifth street,
west side from Broadway to Avenue E;
on Sixth street, east side from Broad
way north; on Seventh street from
Broadway north to Avenue D. on the
west side of the street: on Eighth
street from Broadway to Avenue G,
and on Ninth street from Broadway to
Avenue B. The resolution also calls
for walks on Front street between
Fifth and Seventh streets, and along
Front street and the Northern Pacific
right of way, so that residents Of the
south side of the track may have a
good walk across to Main street.
In connection with the resolution
an amendment of the sidewalk or
dinance was introduced providing that
on all side streets north of Broad
way except Fourth and Sixth streets,
four and a half foot walks may be
constructed. The present ordinance
calls for six foot walks on all streets
and it is generally agreed that there
is no necessity for walks of this width
on the residence streets, except the
two mentioned.
The ordinance was referred and will
be acted upon at the next meeting and
the resolution will be passed as soon
as the ordinance is amended.
A petition was received from E. G..
Patterson asking for permission to
build an iron clad addition to his
building ait the corner Of Fifth and
Main streets, extending back to the
alley. The petition was referred to the
committee on fire department.
City Attorney Gage reported on the
request Of Henry Tatley for permis-
sion to build an iron clad addition to
his building, the Grand Pacific hotel
The report Of the city attorney stated
that such building would not full
fill the requirements of the fire or
sdinance, which provided that all biuld-
ings must be built Of stone, brick, iron
or other ineombustib bile material. Mayor
Register said he had gone over the or,
.dinance with the city attorney and
that he did not think the council
could give such a permit as requested
under the present fire ordinance. If
the council desired to grant such per-
mits, 1t must amend the ordinance.
The matter went over to the next
meeting.
