ing the subdivisions and determining
the boundary lines and locations OF
the sewers as required in minute dc.
tail by the charter amendment.

manuscript, defining the boundaries
of the subdivisions, while Councilman

cial sewer ordinance will be made and

Mayes for the committee on streets
and public property reported that the
work of removing certain buildings
which stood in the streets of the city
was we'll u2der way. The street com.
missioner expected to have the work
completed in few days.
Or nance No. 102, which provides
that application shall be made to the
city officials before the streets of the
town shall be disturbed for the pur.
pose of laying water, gas or sewer
mains or laterals. and the manner OF
procedure in this work, was read the

judiciary committee.
A. w. Onthank, as chairman of the
committee of the Commercial club
named to present the matter of pub
lie library to the city council after
the manner outlined by the state Ii
brary commission, addressed the
council on the matter. On motion OF
Councilman Early the subject was re
ferred to the judiciary committee.
As the city would have to raise al
least $500 before anything could bt
done toward securing public library,
and as other very important improve
ments are now under way, it is the
sentiment of many of the Influential
citizens that it wonld be unwise tt
consider the library proposition IusI
at present.
