The first matter TO come up was the
report of Councilman Woldenberg on
the sidewalk grade along the side OF
the Weigand building. The length OF
the building is 90 feet and the side
walk will have a decline of 8 feet and
8 inches in the 90 feet, putting the
sidewalk in front of the Big Rock sa-
loon building, as it now stands, about
two feet above the street grade. To
make the street grade conform to the
sidewalk the ground where the big
rock stood will have to be lowered
about one foot, while in front OF the
saloon building it will have to be low
cred about two feet. Mr.. Weigand' S
object in asking to have the sidewalk
grade made as low as possible at the
east end OF his building is to have the
floor of the building as near as possible
on level with the sidewalk. When
the street is excavated to conform with
the sidewalk grade the fall from the
Weigand building to the corner of the
King building on Eighth street will be
from four to six inches. The council
decided to adopt the grade as fixed by
Engineer Sussex and recommended by
Councilman Woldenberg.

enworth Land Co., submitted a propo-

and is part OF the land formerly owned
by Nick Kincherf, and lies just across
the road from George Keating's place,
north of town. Councilmen Feather
stone and Woldenberg were appointed
a committee to investigate the propo-
sition and report at the next meeting.

Land Co. tract.
