WENT INTO DITCH.
Lack of a Signal Light Causes an
Accident.

Warren LaFollett of the Herald
press rooms met with a very painful
and what might easily have proven a
serious accident last night. Warren
was riding his running mare at pref
ty good pace on side street going to
his home. The street was quite dark
and as no light had been put up, and
new ditch across the road was not
seen by horse or rider. The animal
was into the ditch with her rider in
an instant. Warren was considerably
scratched up and has some severe
bruises but has no broken bones or
other injuries, as might easily have
been the case. Complaint was immedi-
ately made to the city and light was
placed at the ditch to prevent repe-
tition of the accident to any one.

Considerable discussion was arous-
ed as to whether there should be a
levy for the sewers and after some ar
gument it was decided to amend the
list by inserting levy of one mill for
that purpose. The city already has
s3.5OO.OO on hand for the sewer pro-
ject and the new levy will raise the
amount to 100000.
City Engineer John Shannon's re-
port of the paving in the vicinity of
the Ninde place on High avenue east
was read and the various amounts due
were assessed up to abutting property.
A claim of something over $29 was
brought up due the Oskaloosa & Tama
Electric line, said amount being the
excess over election expenses. The
claim was allowed and a warrant was
ordered to be drawn for that amount.
A petition for a sewer north of High
avenue between Fifth and Sixth
streets was brought up and referred
to the sewer committee. Chas Phelps
had a bin of $26 against the city for
damages caused by a stopped up
sewer. Councilman Baker moved that
it be referred to the claims committee
but the motion was lost and the bill
was laid on the table. Several other
sewers we're brought up and discussed
the majority being turned over to the
sewer committee.
Councilman O'Hearn brought up the
matter of weed cutting and moved
that notices be served on all prop
erty owners to see that the weeds on
their respective places were cut. Ii
this notice was not needed each coun-
Gilman is to see that the weeds are at
tended to in his respective ward and
the amount is to be levied to the prop
erty.
Dennis Cruden was given a rebate on
his $500 poll tax, after which the
meeting was adjourned to Septmber 3.
