t1'eeting e Tuesday evening the ques.
tion of the approaching paving in,
junction. case, which will likely
come'uP in district court for formal
TRIAL shortly, was discussed at
length by the aldermen, mayor and
city; attorney, resulting in a motion
fathered by Alderman Meaberg in
structin& the attorney to subpoena
every person who accompanied the
council on the paving inspecting"
trip to minneapolis, and to per-
NIT Of no withdrawal of any allega.
ton in the complaint. =
This motion was later amended
upon recommendation of Hizzoner
to include all persons who have had
aught to say against the paving or
paving contract, averring that him.
self and his administration had
been nisrepresented and maligned
and that he wanted every man who
had ever opened, his mouth in the
matter to be made to come to the
front and prove his allegations. .
If this motion is interpreted lit:
orally by the. attorney the range
roads will have to make special ar
engagements for their prospective
| rush and the Virginia council
should arrange for fire and police
!! patrol for the city. from nei ghbor.
ing towns for the day.
The street. railway came up for
mention:-long enough for the may

had already been accused of an at
tempt to graft in the awarding of a
ranchise, and that he had not yet
found anyone who wants cars run
on Chestnut street:
In this connection the attorney
reported that hisattention had been
called to an oversight in the origi

of $500 would indicate that the H.

But the library board; since it's in
auguration, has been so worried
with it's cash surplus that it will
doubtless appreciate the. idea OF
: having the administration look af,
ter their cash.,
: The treasurer's report showed a
balance of &,555:7O in the paving
fund, but the allowance of an orde,
for that sum to P. Mcdonnell wiped
cut the. account and will permit the
drawing of another red line to bal

i Attorney Shea reported that hi
had been in Duluth in consultation
!: with Attorney Fesler, in an attemp
to evade the levy Of the 10 per cen
penalty on the paving assessment
but feared it could not be legally
eliminated. However. he had dis
covered a method of extending tn.
