of o street from Twentieth to Twenty
second was put on its final passage, as was
also provision making this district new
improvement and grading district. II is
determined by the board Of appraisers that
this grading will cause no damages to the
property adjacent
An ordinance vacating the right-of-way
to the Rock Island extending from Twenty
seventh to Thirtieth street along X and Y
streets, was put on its final passage This
vacation has been in contemplation for
some time past Considering the fact that
the new council has been elected on a
platform which is opposed TO the vacation
of streets for the announcement of pub
lie improvements, unless the corporation
shall purchase the right-of-way at regular
property rates, develops the reason foi
passing the measure at this time. The
ordinance met with no opposition from the
democratic members. all the councilmer
voting for the ordinance One Of the
principal reasons for this spur is that the
letter Brewing company may have rail
road accommodation. Representatives
from the brewing company were presen
at the council meeting. The ordinanc,
vacates the south one-half of the two
streets named, so far as they can b,
utilized. The track will have a southwest
cry trend from its connection with tn,
Rock Island tracks.
The item for street time was taken vi
and a warrant was ordered drawn in favo
OF the treasurer to reimburse him for tn
same out of the general funds. This shoult
have appeared with the general bills las
Wednesday night but was for some reason
not presented. The council then adjourned
to meet again Monday night. At that tim
the new officers will be installed and tn
now council will convene.
