A communication was received
from j. G. Hoye asking permission
to establish skating rink on the
corner of Santa Fe avenue and Third
street. north of the Park House.
The proposed skating rink to have a
hard wood floor. 50xl00 feet. and be
covered with "a tent. This to be
used temporarily pending the erec-
ton Of a permanent building of
brick or concrete blocks. 50xl00 feet.
on East First street. on the two lots
east Of the automobile hospital. AZ
ter some discussion the council came
to the conclusion that making a
noise like skating rink. al the
proposed location. and under a tent.
would be a nuisance and that portion
of the petition was denied. The
application for permit to erect a
per.naaeR; building on First street
was granted.
g. A. kilgore and J. W. Winter
appeared before the council with a
plat Of the Otero addition and made
application for its admission within
the incorporate limits. The new ad-
dition consists of eight blocks Of
forty eight blocks each. and extends
from kilgore's residence to the south
line Of the Park addition. The
streets in the addition are sixty feet
wide. alleys twenty. and the lots
25xl30 feet in dimensions. Some
changes will have to be made in the
plat As regards the naming Of streets
TO conform with those in the Park
addition. and definite action in the
matter was deferred until the next
regular meeting.
City Engineer Lewis reported on
the progress made in con-
structing the new water plant. All
of the material. with the exception
Of the new pump. has arrived. The
concrete foundations for the new
pump house are completed. and the
new stack. which is to be eighty
feet in height. is about half way up.
Over one-half of the water mains
have been laid-practically all Of
the pipe with the exception Of the
larger sizes. Mr.. Lewis suggested
that the present water mains on
Second street. from Santa Fe to
Ration avenue. be allowed to remain.
The plans provide for installing
eight inch pipe. Mr.. Lewis says
that by using the eight inch pipe on
Lincoln avenue there will be suffi-
cient material on hand to put in a
pipe line on that avenue from First
to Fifth street and from that point
into the Ohio addition as far as X.
G.. Dalton's residence. without any
additional expense. Mr.. Lewis was
instructed at the last meeting Of the
city council to make an estimate on
the cost of extending the water
mains into the Ohio addition. and
advised that this plan could be pur.
sued without any expense whatever
for material. The council adopted
the suggestion Of the city engineer
and he was instructed to make the
Necessary change in the plans.
