City Council.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening, with Alderman Lane
the only absentee.
Mecusker & Harrison were allowed
Sc, s14 IS on the fourth bridge estimate
made by Engineer Cappelen.
Mr.. Csppelen brought up the matter
of the council authorizing the contrac-
tors to begin completion Of the bridge
from the east instead Of the west end
as provided in the contract. Mr.. Cap
pelen said this would rush the work
considerably and give opportunity for
the necessary fill to be made earlier.
The east span of the old bridge would
have to be partially removed and q
walk put in for pedestrians while
teams use the ice. City Attorney
Shaw, by request. gave an opinion
that the council could not make an
order changing the plans without ne
cessarily releasing the bondsmen.
The general opinion, however, was
that the engineer should secure pass
age for traffic as soon as possible and
the contractors will therefore complete
the work suggested as by the engineer.
Chief Emder was authorized 10
organize Hose Co. No. 4 in the I'd pre-
cinct of the I'd ward. The company
will have i's cart at the Chemical
house. The cart will soon be there.
The firemen were granted permis-
sion to organize q relief association.

cough would pass off and would 60 to

for such purpose. but it did, and it
