council. all members being present.
A number of people appeared before
the council on different matters.
John Wetzel, for the property own
ers on First street north of Broadway,
asked that permit be given for paw
ing. There was an old petition on
file, but it was thought new one
should be furnished, which petition is
now in circulation. Mr.. Wetzel
stated that the property owners would
personally stand behind the cost OF
paving, so that in no event, would
there be any question of a shortage
of money to prusue the work.
Mayor Moeglein stated that several
complaints had been made that the
neople were not respecting the limits
for dumping refuse, but scattered it
about promiscuously. This was also
the case in hauling away dead horses.

s1oner Heroux, who stated that he had
already taken care of several horses
anfl dogs. that had been left unburied
in different parts of the city. Signs
will he posted showing the limits OF
the grounds.

would mt in a walk on Seventh street
southwest about 1870 feet the balance to

that was odered In last year along this
street. to be at first ascertaned.
