Captain Haynes inquired if the ci-
ty was ready to build bridges across

street graded through his land west

Mr.. Church explained his reason
for preparing separate sidewalk
ordinance for extending the sidewalk
two blocks on Lea and Union ave
nues to the Pauly school house. This
was a hurry job, as the school board
had decided to conduct the hign
school in this building, and the walk
should be finished before the open
ing of school. 1t had been found that
unless this school building was occu-
pied the property would revert to the
Pauly heirs, hence the board had de-
termined to make the necessary re
pairs, and requested the city to have
the sidewalk extended. On motion of
Mr.. Wyllys the rules were suspended
and this sidewalk ordinance was in
due form passed by unanimous vote.
The other sidewalk ordinance provid-
ing for walks in various parts of the
city, was referred to the committee
and will follow the ordinary course.
Attorney Scott then read the Ordi-
nance making tax levy as follows for

department bonds.
2 2-1O mills interest on sewer
bonds.
Two-tenths mill for interest fund
ing bonds.
the rules were suspended and this
ordinance adopted by unanimous vote.
The levy is the same as last year.
The levy of 10 mills by the school
board was approved by unanimous
vote, and both levies were certified

resolution was adopted setting
aside So 900 of the funds now in the
hands of the city treasurer for the
purpose of paying the city'S portion
of the expense of tiling the irrigation
bitches, the contract having been
completed and the obligation becom-
ing due when the work is finished.
Mr.. Bell was the only councilman
who voted against the resolution, and
he explained that he thought the

pay the entire expense themselves.
