The ordinance to provide for the
building of cement walks in all parts
of the city was again brought before
the City Council by Alderman Pirsch
and committee was appointed to take
up the matter and see that the ordi-
nance was presented to the City Coun-
Gil at once. The plan is to make it
necessary to replace all worn out walks
with cement and as fast as new walks
are built they must be of the same ma
teria1.- The plan has been tried in
many cities and has proved to be en-.
tirely practical.
/ The old question of vacating Sum-
mer street is probably settled and the
street will not be turned over to A. H.
French and Victor Eppler on the offer
they made to the Council some six
months ago. The ordinance for the
/. vacation of the street was laid on the
table but the committee will appeal to
1 the parties for better offer and if this
is forthcoming it's possible that the
matter may be taken up again later.
i The ordinance providing for the an
Enexation of portion Of the town of
J, ,Somers was given its final reading
i and passed by unanimous vote.
