Ed. 5. Hughes sent in a complaint
that should interest the city engineer,
concerning his new cement sidewalk
in front of his home on Pitkin avenue.
The complaint or memorial goes on to
say that before he built the sidewalk
he got the city engineer to survey and
establish the grade to be given, and
that the first survey by him was
checked over by a second survey to
make sure. After the work was done
it was constantly urged on Mr.. Hughes
by pedestrians that the walk was too
low, and upon further investigation
he had Surveyor Park to ascertain the
fact who learned the fact that it was
.33 of foot too low at the north end
and IA of a foot too low at the south
end. He asks the council to investi
if ai thar
the error or make good. As evidence
of the fact that the walk was laid in
accordance with the advice of the city
engineer, Mr.. Hughes appends certi
ncale nom iur. Rosenberg to that ois
ect. The matter was referred to the
committee on streets and alleys for
investigation and report.
As member of that committee, DIR.
Robinson said he would like to know
what is being done on the River street
matter, as to cement walk fronting the
property OF Jim Sheridan and others
81 have found out those fellows on
River front disagreed, explained
Mayor Parkison. They agreed they
would put in cement walk, the town
to put in cobble stone gutter. This
council had an understanding with
them. They have fallen down ON
their cement walk. That is how it
stands Just now Street Commits
sioner Messick reported that on part of
the city he had carried out the cobble
stone arrangement as far as he could.
Under the circumstances, the council
left the matter in allowance.
Clerk Thorson reported he was hav-
ing some difficulty collecting ground
rents, and was instructed to consult
with the city attorney and take proper
measures to enforce collection from the
delinquents.
Rev. A. q. Voight made an enthus-
jastic talk about the prospects of a
mammoth excursion of Epworth
Leagners 10 Gltnwood about the
18th, from Denver where they are to
hold national convention, and
thought 900 visitors reasonable es
innate. Don't that mean 30OG'
asked Doctor Clark with smile
''Oh no, - chimed in Mayor Parkison,
\ five or six hundred is a conservative
estimate. Mr.. Voight reported sat
isfactory progress in securing rooms
for the visitors, for his committee,
and announced he had secured trans
portation to Denver and would attend
the meeting and use his best efforts to
boost the excursion. IF this council
will pay my boarding expenses at
Denver, Mr.. Voight went on, $50 |
assign these people to their homes ON
the train, which should arrive between
eight and nine clock in the evening,
it will he the proper thing to do. L
think They will need to be ASST gned
to our homes. | will have cards
printed and look after that matter on
the tain. Now ! will only ask my
expenses while there, l expect 81 80 Il
day will pay my board -
II 1t was agreed to appropriate Sl5, 90
for this purpose, but this modest
amount will not give Mr.. Voight any
chance to treat the delegates to coco
cola.
The committee on entertainment
was charged with the duty of trying
to secure a free pool for the Leaguers.
The rest of the councils business
consisted of the ordinary routine of
hearing reports and auditing bills.
