DOINGS OF The
COMMON COUNCIL
And other City Matters OF Inter
est.
Resolved Against saloon Bond at
Special Meeting.-No Objection
To Center street Sewer.

A special meeting OF the City Counc
was held Monday more particularly t
consider the matter of the Center stree
sewer but also to transact any other bus
mess that might be brought before it.
The mayor and four aldermen wer'
present. Alderman Putnam and Alder
man Case being absent. the latter on ac'
count of sickness. Mr.. Putnam not hav
ing returned from his eastern trip.
Permission was given to the Pere Mar
quette R. r. to construct freight house
providing fire proof roof be put on the
same.
There was not a single objection en-
tered to the laying Of sewer in the Gen.
ter street district and the estimate on the
more than $4,000 was passed.
The previous action of the council or
rejecting the saloon bond OF James Me-
ginley having been criticised as not being
done in proper form. a resolution was
offered by Alderman Stout supported by
Alderman Hudson that the bond be not
approved, which was carried unanimously
by yea and nay vote. The reason
given for not approving the same as of
fered in the resolution was that Mr..
Wrights showing of property qualiflca-
tions was not sufficient for the bond and
that Of Mr.. Clanohy while it came close
to the required amount, $4,000 the fact
of his being liable on a similar bond. he
was not considered qualified as the law
contemplates.
Another estimate on the Young & Sum-
mers contract for laying W lter pipes was
considered and the amount Of the esti-
mates allowed about 5 i 100.
Messrs. Young and Summers expect to
close up their work here in a week
or two, the piping for water is about all
laid and all connections with Hydrants
will soon be completed so far as their
contract is concerned. They are delayed
somewhat by the non-arrval Of pipe
which the city has ordered.
1t is expected a thorough test Of the
system will be given next week, but Mr..
Summers will not leave it until it is COM
plete in every way according to the terms
OF the contract
The board Of water commissioners are
looking after the water works system
very closely and think there will be no
question but that water can be had for
house purposes as well as for fire before
many weeks roll by. 1t is thought how
ever that large we'll or receiving reser-
Yoir will have to be made into which
water from the eight wells may flow direct
before satisfactory results will be OBJ
tanned.
