EX PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND DIES SUDDENLY At PRINCETON HOME
TO BUILD SANITARY
SEWER AT ONCE
Council Decides on Long Needed I'M
proven1ent for Lower San Fran
cisco Street.

~sSSS ossSSNs
A sanitary sewer will be built on
lower San Francisco street at once
and as soon hereafter as practicable
the street will be paved from the
! Claire hotel to the intersection of Gal.
isteo street. Such was the decision
reached at an adjourned meeting of
the council held last night.
Property owners of lower San Fran.
cisco street appeared before the coun.
Gil, they having been notified that a
hearing would be given for approval
OF the proposed improvements, sug.
gestions or objections. Nathan Salmon,
j. G. Schumann and Fred Muller pro-
perty owners, were in favor of the
pavement or at least the Improvement
Of the street. They insistsed that a
sanitary sewer be built before the
street was paved and that if possible
the telephone and telegraph poles be
moved off the street
Judge N. B. Laughlin stated that
he would object to the street being
paved unless sewer is built and the
poles taken down. 1t was suggested
by Mr. Muller that instead of paving
the street that it be macadamized
which would be much cheaper and
just as durable. He will not oppose
paving if the majority of the property
owners desire it and from the express.
sion of those there last evening
pavement is favored.
Considerable discussion resulted ov.
Ter building sewer on San Francisco
street. 1t was proposed that the sani-
tary sewer on Water street be taken
up from the outlet into Santa Fe river
and connected with the sanitary sew
|er to be put in on San Francisco
street, running the latter sewer to the
arroyo in the western part of the city.
This would effectually solve the pro-
blem of unsanitary conditions along
Santa Fe river below the outlet of the
Water street sewer After a thorough
discussion the matter was referred to
the committee on sewage and drain.
age by Mayor Sena with instructions
to report at the next regular meet,
ing in July.
Nathan Salmon brought up the ques.
ton of building a sewer on the south
side of Santa Fe river. Mayor Sena
stated for the benefit of the residents
of that side of the city that prelim.
mary surveys would be made and that
some work had been done already but
that the matter was still in its in
fancy.
In the discussion relative to moving
telegraph and telephone poles off San
Francisco street where it is proposed
to put down the pavement, an investi.
cation of the franchise granted
brought out the idea that the coun-
Gil could not remove the poles without
consent of the corporations. City At
torney C. G. Catron will be instruct.
ed to give an opinion while Mayor
Sena will endeavor to get the corpor-
ations to place their wires in con.
duits
Mayor Sena asked permission from
the council to appoint three extra po.
licemen to serve July 4th and 9Th
The council gave him the required au-
thority, increasing the number to four.
Some question was raised as to who
would be appointed. Mayor Sena
checkmated the only chance for a row
last night by stating that he would
expect the two councilmen from each
ward to agree on man and then he
would appoint whoever they chose.
No firecrackers will be allowed set
off in the Plaza on the Fourth. The
forbidden district was not definitely
fixed last night, but the mayor, by
proclamation will designate the for
bidden places. A special policeman
will be kept in the Plaza to see that
this proclamation is enforced. 1t was
suggested that it would take the mi
litia to keep the small boys from try
ing the effect of crackers near unsus-
pecting persons in the Plaza. Mayor
Sena replied that Company F, New
Mexico National Guard, was at the
disposal Of the city that day.
The fire committee Of the council
was instructed to test all fire alarm
boxes and to see that they were in
working order. This will be done at
once and those out Of service will be
repaired.
Stock pens will not be countenanc-
ed in the city limits longer. A vote
was taken last night and the result
was that all such nuisances must be
abated at once.
On motion the same levy as made
last year for the benefit Of the Wo-
mems Board Of Trade was made this
year.
