special meeting of the city coun- Gil was held in the city hall last even ing for the purpose of taking up sev- eral matters of imprtant, foremost of which was to make some progress to-
 ward the construction ns the hss, rnad- way up Tombstone Canyon. The ses- sion lasted for couple of hours and
 resulted in arrangements being made for the disposal of preliminary details which have to be attended to before the highway can be built
 Mayor Caven called the meeting to order, and Councilmen Shattuck. Hughes, Morris and Haines answered to the roll call Mayor Cayen then stated the purpose of the meeting, and a petition signed by a number of residents was read, asking that the council give it's attention to the con struction of the new roadway up the canyon and have the work actually commenced within the shortest pos sible time The petition further asked
 that a policeman be detailed to that section of the city which is without
 regular police protection
 City Engineer McNeish was present
 having with him maps showing the proposed new road up the canyon and a conference was held between the council and the petitioners to deter.
 mine what could be done to expedite matters The maps show that the roadway Will in certain places neces- sitate the condemning of property. so l that the first move which will be made i will be to find out just how many peo- | pie will help the project by allowing ! the city a portion of their property, ! and after a thorough discussion of l the problems the mayor appointed the 1 councilmen present a committee to meet a committee of residents of that sectiGa of the city on Friday after noon for the purpose of going over i the entire line and finding out just 1 what will have to be done to ac. quire the necessary ground
 The matter of police protection then i came up and it was decided to have ] one of the present members of the l force make several trips day 10 l that portion of the city thus saving i the extra expense of another police +nan
 ] The matter of the stench arising | from the subway was then brought to l the attention of the council and re- l ferred to Sanitary Inspector Elliott | It is believed a sewer pipe has been 1 broken in the waterway allowing it's contents to lodge there. This matter i will be Temedied at once
 Mayor Caven then brought up the
 matter of grading the slag dump hill so that the electric car line from War
 ren can be built along that section
 of the highway According to the terms of the franchise the city is
 under no obligation whatever to grade | that part of the road for the company ] and some of the councilmen were dis posed to stand on the terms of the ] agreement However. other members
 thought that it would be unfair to
 ask the company to grade the entire
 road, and stand all the expense. and | for that reason were disposed to come
 to some agreement whereby the city 1 and company would pay proportionate
 amounts. No definite agreement was ] arrived at
 Some matters of minor import ance were brought up and disposed of and the meeting adjourned.
