cupied with canvassing the returns of

proceedings of the meeting on an
other page of the paper. Another
communication was received from the
Penn Oil company in reference to the
condition Of Second street between
Eleventh and Thirteenth avenues lead
ing TO its plant in that section of the
city. Two and at times three teams
are required to pull half wagon load
on the street. the mud being several
inches in depth during the spring and
after rains in summer. At the proceed
ing meeting of the council repairing
of the street was ordered. but nothing
has been done. j. ;. Wilhert. mana
ger for the Penn Oil company. offered
to furnish teams free to- haul rock to
Second street from any part of the
city designated by the municipal Off
GERS Mayor McConochie stated that.

done until after the annual appropria-
tions are made a week hence. as there
are no funds on hand with which to
pay the cost of the repairing of the
