COST OF STREET OPENING.
City Engineer Baushman Presents
figures on Twelfth Avenue Extern

Mr. Mcdonald, of the streets and al
leys committee, presented before the
council Monday night figures by City
Engineer Baughman. relative to the
estimated cost of grading Twelfth av-
enue, in opening the street from Neva-
da to Main. Mr.. Baughman estimates
that fill of $500 cubic yards of dirt
will be necessary. This will cost $3.50
If the dirt is borrowed from along the
road; $1,000 if taken from the creek;
and $1,000 if hauled from a farther
distance. The report was accepted.
Mr.. Mcdonald said that the commit
tee found it difficult to undertake the
work with the funds on hand, and ask
ed further time, until the next meet
ing before finally reporting. He thought
possibly the supervisors might do bet
ter than $780, the amount pledged to-
ward the improvement.

COMMITTEE OBJECTS.
Water Works Committee Thinks Ways
and Means Chairman overstepped

Authority.
Chairman Clark, of the committee
on water works and electric lights of
the city council, called the attention
of the council Monday night to the
action of Chairman Herman, of the
ways and means committee, in renting
to George Brock and Joe Mohr the old
Piver hose house, for the period OF
one year, at s12 per year. A resolu-
ton was adopted last year, placing all
buildings used by the water works
committee under the supervision of
that committee, the same as it gave the
police and fire committee charge of all
buildings occupied by those depart
ments. Mr. Clark stated that Mr..
Herman had executed lease that was
not signed by either the mayor or city
clerk The building has been used as
a store house by the water works
committee, and it still needs the room.
Mr.. Clark did not wish to overthrow
any action of Mr.. Herman in renting
the building, but thought it best to
call the councils attention to the for
mer resolutions, in order that repe-
tition would not occur. Clark moved
that the council ratify the lease when
it had been properly signed by the
mayor and clerk. Mr.. Herman ex-
planned that he had taken the action
in the best Of faith and had no thought

MAY TRANSFER LIGHT.
Electric Light Committee Agrees Not
to Put on More Than Eleven Arcs.


Chairman Clark, Of the electric light
committee, reported Monday night
that the committee had agreed not to
put on the present circuit any more
than eleven additional lights. He had
held out for ten, but the rest of the
committee thought the circuit could
stand eleven. Mr.. Clark said that the
dynamo could carry twenty, up to its
capacity. but did not consider it safe
to tax it that hard in view of the
present condition of the lines. The
lines can only be repaired and put in
the shape they should be at a large
cost. By putting on eleven lights
there will be one In the Fifth, OH May
street, that the committee can not add.
DR.. Devine suggested that some light
scheduled for another ward be curtail-
ed for the time being, in order that
the Fifth ward people might have the
light on May. which he considered
necessary. The committees report
was adopted.

ing of brick sidewalks instead of ce-

ton will be disposed of at a future
meeting. The streets and alleys COM
mittee reported favorably on the mat
ter with some restrictions. Mr.. Sieg
supported the brick, and claimed that
they could be put down at a little<less
than one-half the cost of cement. Mr..
Psenicka thought brick would be no
cheaper in the long run. Mr.. McDon-
aid did not favor the limits prescribed
