pertinent and then pay him 81 per
bushel thereafter for the seed Peas at
81 per bushel are a more profitable

At the next meeting of the city coun
Gil an ordinance will be introduced pro-
viding for the opening of street on
the east side of the st. Paul Ry tracks
from Central Ave. south to Jackson
street, distance of two blocks. The
railway company has granted right
of way on its property and the only OBJ
struction is the purchase of piece of
property. Alderman Mohr of the
Second ward has been successful in
raising the amount required and there
is little doubt but what the council will
see fit to open the street. With this
street opened, children living on that
side of track who attend the high school
will not be compelled to cross the rail-
road tracks in going to school as they
have done heretofore.
