GRIZZLY TO Be ADJuDlCATtD

The town board met in monthly
session last Monday evening and while
no business of great importance was
transacted the meeting was prolonged
until we'll towards midnight. The
reports of town officers for the month
of May were passed upon after which
came reports of standing committees.
Trustee Voorhees, reported that three
additional drinking fountains had been
purchased but inasmuch as they were
ordered from New York city there is
some doubt as to whether they will be
here by Strawberry Day.
The property owners on Seventh
street asked that the south side of the
street be raised and the street leveled
by raising the curb on the north side
in front of the Rio Grande depot.
Trustee Robinson moved that the
prayer of the petition be granted.
Trustee Voorhees, moved an amendment
by recommending an arrangement
doing away with the steps and putting
flag walk across the gutter, the
carriages to back up to this on either
side. This arrangement did not
meet the approval of the property
owners and the amendment was de-
feated and the original motion pre-
vailed.
Judge Beardsley and Mr., Napier
appeared before the board and asked
for an appropriation of 800 for Straw
berry Day and the request was granted
by unanimous vote.
George Manley was there with a
request that an appropriation be made
for the Glenwood band. George only
wanted $3.50 month, which he
thought was quite modest request.
Trustee Heisler moved that this
amount be appropriated monthly for
June. July, August, and September,
the band to consist of II members and
to give concert on the north side of
the Grand river each Sunday evening.
This brought out an objection from
Trustee Barnes, who thought the
business portion of the town entitled
to little harmony. Robinson voted
against the motion and Barnes asked
to be excused and the mayor declared
the motion lost.
Under the head of new business
Trustee Barnes "started something.
He introduced resolution authorizing
the town attorney to proceed with the
adjudication of the waters of Grizzly
creek. He claimed that the meeting
held last December at Which the attor-
ney was authorized so to proceed was
special meeting and there was there
fore some doubt as to whether the
order was legal. Attorney Taylor
stated that under the former order of
the board he had prepared a notice,
had secured the approval of Judge
Overs and the case had been set for
hearing on June 8, that later Judge
Overs continued all cases to August
and sailed for Europe. The members
of the council with the exception of
Barnes We're of the opinion that the
attorney had all the authority neces

all supported the resolution.
Trustee Clark as chairman of the
board of health said i. had been re-
ported that a Glenwood butcher had
been guilty of butchering calves in
his back yard and this Doctor Clark
thought was not a very sanitary act.
The health committee was instructed
to investigate the matter thoroughly
and prosecute any who might be guilty
of such an offense against the sanitary
regulations.
Robert Jardine, the Hotel Colorado
night Waterman, was on the request
of the hotel management appointed a
special policeman without pay.
The question of the town purchas-
ing team was brought up for dis
cussion and the sentiment of the board
seemed favorable to the purchase
The matter was, however, deferred
for the present. The matter of the
purchase of rock crus er and roller
for use in the improvement of the
streets was taken up and the street
and alley committee authorized to con
suit the county commissioners to see if
the two bodies could not purchase an
outfit jointly.
Manley made his second appearance
and renewed his request in behalf of the
band He told those who were halt,
ing in regard to the expenditure that
if they would app opriate $3.50 for June
