CITY COUNCIL.

AT the meeting OF the city counci
held last Tuesday evening, several set;
of plans were submitted for the ap
proval of the members. j. p. Jogerst
drew two plans, one to cost $780, 900 the
other $60,0 These were for buildings
highly ornamental The four sets OF
plans submitted were scanned by the
council members and the matter was
talked over but no selection was made
and it is quite likely that the committee
will ask a number of changes to be
made in the drawings before they are
again presented for selection to be
made by the council. Mr.. Jogerst was
appointed city hall architect. The
special committee appointed to secure
plans was retained with power to
advertise for bids when bids are
wanted.
A resolution was offered by Aldermar
Ewing, providing for the appointment
of a committee of five to report on the
feasibility of purchasing an additional
steam road roller and stone crusher, to
be used to extend macadamized roads
from the city to the country districts.
The resolution was passed and the
mayor appointed Aldermen Ewing,
mittee on paving as such committee.
Mr.. Ewing's idea is that if the city
assists in building good roads into the
city, the city will be repaid by the
country trade that will be brought into
town.
