q state OF terror by seeing two women
who had been walking on the tight rope
over a cage containing two lions sud

once a terrible scene.
Women tainted and men called TO the
attendants to rescue the women. Almost
as soon as the women had touched the
ground Of the cage the lions were upon
them and tore them cruelty.
one of the women, who had the pres
ence of mind not to move, was only
slightly scratched. but the other. who
tried 10 raise herself. was mutilatcd.
The attendants were as quick as they
possibly could be IN getting the women
cut Of the cage. and they, in order 60
assure the audiences. came once before
the scere and bowed 20 the people They
are both OF them at the hospital, where
their wounds are being cared for, and
the doctors do not fear that their un-
happy experience will have any too Sc

by council ordering the board to
commence the extension of the
South Prospect street paving from
the south corporation line to the
entrance of Mckinley park, a dis
tance of between 200 and 300
feet.
When the resolution was read,
President Busard asked il council
had appropriated any money for
the improvement. On being inform
ed that no money was appropriat-
ed, he said, "Well, tell them that
we will not do It, We do not in
tend to go ahead with these i'm
provements unless council will ap-
propriate the money!
The city engineer informed the
board that the city is to pay one
third of the cost of the improve
ment the commissioners another
third and the StoltzJScofield Land
company. the remaining third.
When council appropriates the
money the board will take up the
question for consideration.
1t was recommended by the city
council that Garner avenue be i'm
proved and placed in condition for
winter travel between Prospect and
Windsor streets. Superintendent of
streets Blum was instructed to do
some ditching along Garner ave-
nue. and to use other means of
putting the street in good condi.
tion.
On motion of Mr.. Morganthaler
the board recommended to council
the purchase of piece of ground
in the outlying sections OF the city
to be used as dumping ground

purchase council will look over all
of the available sites.
The clerk read resolution pass
ed by council at it's last meeting
instructing the board to prepare for
skating ponds at Lincoln and Gar.
field parks. The members of the
board are OF the opinion that
council will have TO appropriate
money for the skating ponds as
practically all of the money In the
park funds has been expended. II
is planned to throw up small
embankment at both of the parks
and to fill the enclosure with wat
er which will provide very desir-
able skating places at small
expense. The question will be
taken up more at length at the
next meeting.
The park superintendent report

board concerning the parks. He
promised to have complete set of
