Appeal to the Supreme Court Was
Ordered by City Council
on Injunction.
Mayor Authorized to Employ Asso-
Ciate Counsel to Assist
City Attorney.

The GAZETTE prophet read the
wrong combination of stars last
week. The last word has not been
spoken concerning Judge Olsen's in
junction of the council on the license
matter. At a special meeting of
that body Monday evening, Alder
man Wilcox moved that the mayor
be directed to have an appeal taken
to the supreme court in the matter
of the recent restraining order en-
joining the city from issuirg saloon
license running a full year. Alder
men Thune and Wilcox voted yes,
Alderman Evans no, and Alderman
Hammer declined to vote. whereupon
the motion was declared carried.
The action of the council seems
fully warranted by the conflicting
opinions raised by the injunction
1t will be worth while to find out
for future action just how much Of
the city charter is valid and oper-
ative, where it conflicts with statu-
tory enactments. The citizens of
this municipality ought to know now
whether it is in the power Of one
city administration to grant licenses
running over into the middle of the
succeeding administration. contrary
to the provisions of the city charter,
which is the main question affected
by the injunction appealed from
The council also authorized the
mayor to employ associate counsel to
assist Attorney Dolliff in presenting
his appeal before the supreme court,
and the action of that tribunal will
of course be final, and will doubtless
affect many other cities whose char
ter provisions are similar to those of
Redwood Falls.

LOW BID ON DITCH CONTRACT.

The contract for the open work on
Ditch No. 8 was let by Auditor Lar
son last Thursday to Jerry Sherwood
of Litchfield, at $50 cents per cubic
yard. This is considered low bid,
the highest of the six bidders putting
the price at IL cents. The Window
company was close second at go
cents. The successful bidder fur
nishes a bond to begin work not later
than Sept. 1st, and complete the
contract before Jan. LIST. No bids
were received for the tile part of the
job, but the auditor thinks there will
be no difficulty in getting bids for
thing after the main ditch has been
opened up.

DR.. Cowgirl Talks About His Travels to
an Overflow Crowd.

AS predicted by The GAZETTE last
week, very large audience listened
to DR.. Cowgill's lecture before the
Epworth League, at the Methodist
church last Tuesday evening. The
doctor recognized at the outset that
the title of his lecture as it appeared
on the convention program had cut
out for him work enough to keep
him talking all night, so that it was
incumbent on him to "boil it down"
and cut out all oratorical embellish-

SCHOOL MEETING RESULTS.
Two Newspaper People Elected on the
School Board.

On account of driving rain last
Saturday evening, the school meet
ing attendance was rather light, 48
votes being cast in all. S. G. Peter
son and Jas. Aiken were elected on
the board of education. The latter
was not seeking the Office, as stated
last week, but when a few friends
asked the question whether he would
serve if elected, the day before the
meeting, an affirmative answer was
given. The board is good bunch
to train with, and a newspaper man
finds it agreeable to keep in touch
with school affairs, and with two re-
porters on the board there ought to
be plenty of boosting for that inter-
est. DR.. Henze was picked by a
number Of his friends as good
Judge of school ma'ams, and came
within few votes Of being elected.
Neither Henze nor Aiken were at
the meeting, and it was case of
the office seeking the man, with the
older man walking mighty slow.
The following financial statement,
submitted by Treasurer Cooper will
be of interest to patrons of the
school who failed to attend:

CITY TO Do MUCH
PAVING THIS YEAR
Board of Public Works Plans to
Lay Macadam on Twenty
Four Blocks.
THIRD WEST WILL BE
PAVED WITH ASPHALT
Engineer Estimates That Total
Cost to Property Owners
VIII Be S106,360.

Street paving amounting to SlO6,36O
to be done next spring and summer, is
contemplated in resolution adopted
yesterday afternoon at n meeting of
! the Board of Public Works, The reso-
luton proposes TO macadamize tho fol-
lowing streets between South Temple
and Third South streets; Second East,
Third East, Fourth East, Fifth East,
Seventh East, Eighth East, First West
and Second West.
The resolution also contemplates paw
ing Third West street, from North
Temple to Third South, with asphalt.
This makes twenty-four blocks TO be
macadamized and four blocks TO be
paved with asphalt. The resolution,
which was introduced by G. p, Rock
lidge, requests the City Council to in
struct the City Recorder to advertise
the notice of the citys intention 30
make the improvements. This is the
preliminary step in making such I'M
provemcnts, and gives the property
owners, if they wish, opportunity to
protest against it.
Estimate Of Engineer.
The estimate OF the City Engineer
is that it will cost S425 per front foot
of property TO lay the macadam con
templated in the resolution, and Sll a
front foot to pave with asphalt. This
makes the estimated cost Of macadam-
izing S17,320, and of. the asphalt work,
500. .040. total of Sl06.360.
Yesterday s meeting of the board was
called primarily to discuss with Con-
tractor P. J. Moran and City Engineer
l.. c.. Kelsey the claim of Mr., Moran
for $3.50 bonus for completing the Big
Cottonwood conduit within the limo
specified in his contract. Both MIR. Mo.
ran and Mr.. Kelsey were present, but
at the request of w, j, Halloran, d
member of the board the matter went
over until next Monday afternoon at
Z clock, when a special meeting will
be held 20 consider the subject.
The board decided to cancel orders
given to Contractor J. W. Percival TO
lay about eleven water main cxten-
sions. Mr.. Percival was given the con-
tract last spring TO lay water main eX-
tensions for 1906, and has completed
about seven miles OF such extensions.
He requested that orders for about five
miles more be cancelled. claiming that
the price Of material has gone up and
that he has been handicapped in other
WAYS. In canceliing the orders the

finish an extension which he has started
on Seventh West street, between
Seventh and Eighth South streets
Chairman Fred r. Leonard of the
board stated in open meeting that Mr..
Percival s work had not been altogether
satisfactory, chiefly on account of his
slowness. He was not given contracts
for any specified number of extensions,
but took the contract at so much per
foot, so much for excavation, etc. and
was to lay extensions as directed by
the board.
siderable supply of pipe left on hand,
and he desired to sell this to the city.
The board, however, declined TO pur-
chase it. The extensions cancelled will
be included in the work TO be done
next spring and summer.
