hole in the street fund was made by
transferring the amount named to various
special Improvement funds to pay for the

gineer to levy large enough assessment
to cover the cost of eight small sewer ex-
tensions AS a result the city will have
to put up 81, 425-T9 to cover the additional
cost. The matter came up in a communi-

which il was stated in addition that many
of the special funds secured from assess
ing property owners have been overdrawn
and asking that the city put up the money
which the already overburdened taXpay-
ers are reluctant about paying into the
treasury until they are sure they are go
ing to get something in return.

the city take care of their garbage shall
not set the cans in the street as is now
the custom, but shall set them in their
yards. This aroused considera BILE opposi-

A communication was received from the
