by Crosby that II. s. Vets and u. Is.
Waters be allowed to connect with the
city sewer and water on payment OIL
$50 each subject to the rules and reg

nav the same annual tax levied Tor
water and sewer purposes by the city
in the future. Seconded by Foster.
The motion amended by substituting
to refer it to a committee appointed
by the chair to report at some futura
meeting. The vote was tie, but the
mayor cast his vote in favor OF the
motion, and the motion as amendef
carried The matter Of the cemetery
sidewalk was next taken up, and it was
decided to repair it in the spring, pro-
yided the people using the walk be
obliged to pay half the expense of con-
struction. 1t was moved by Foster
that the ordinance committee prepare
an ordinance licensing and regulating
bowling alleys Seconded by Miller.
Motion carried. Moved by Preston that
removed and replaced by a cinder walk.
Carried. Upon motion the council ad-
journed until next Monday night.
A complaint has been lodged with
the city clerk against the bowling all
ley run by Mr.. Joe Tresser. The COM
plainant said that he could not sleep
at night on account Of the annoyance
caused by the bowling alley, as the
alley was run until midnight and often
later. If the council decides to charge
for the use OF the privilege to run an
alley here it will necessarily be
public alley, but the alley will be reg
ulated and will be obliged to stop at
certain hour every evening, and the
annoyance spoken of will be stopped.
The council will take this up later and
something will be done about it. When
the alley is licensed and made public
then we will be up with Montezuma.
which has bowling alley and billiard
hall.
