THE VILLAGE
COUNCIL.
LONG SESSION
Council Holds its First Ses-
sion for April

The council meeting Tuesday
night was attended by all the MEM
bers, and the session lasted until
long after ten o'clock.
j. II. Carnes was granted the
privilege of moving his house across
Main street and to use such other
streets as are necessary to transfer
his domicile to where he wants it.
Mr.. Juergensmeier presented the
matter of opening Second street
across or under the railroad, in or
der to get an outlet to his lots
which lies east of the track. The
city solicitor thought that this was
a wise measure, although it would
incur considerable expense which
would have to be borne by the vii
lage. 1t would necessitate the con-
struction of another trestle, and the
elevation of the track. For this the
Railway company would probably
ask damages, which the city would
also have to pay.
The matter of paving Market
street was presented by Messrs.
Whitcraft and Huls. But it proba-
bly, received black eye, as the So
licitor was sure there was no money
to pay ihe city's part or the cost,
and the town is bonded to the linn
it. The matter was referred to the
street committee. Any street can
be paved provided two thirds of
the front footage is willing, or up
on vote of three fourths of the
council, but in either case the city
must have the money on hand for
its share of the work.
The street committee was author
lied to make a contract with Mr..
Radebaugh for cleaning the paved
streets, the contract to be subject
to confirmation at the next meet
ing.
Mr.. Weymueller advised council
that the city held the right of way,
through a verbal contract, to GER
tain streets out near the Pottery
and stated that the proper
steps should be taken to clinch the
right of the village, by taking pos
session, Mr.. Petit thought that
the question was one that the vii
lage was entirely out OF, and con-
tended that it was a transaction
between Mr.. Weymueller and the
kerlin brick plant only. The mat
5er was referred to the street com
mittee.
The mayor called attention to
.he condition of the streets as left
oy the plumbers in different parts
1f the town. Even Main street is
,orn up, and the bricks are not
placed, leaving holes in
% which the water settles, doing
much damage to the streets. 1t
seems that upon finishing up a job
)f plumbing, the men are anxious
% get away as soon as possible,
md the repairing of the streets is
,iyen a lick and a promise, and the
is seldom made good. An
ordinance covering this point will
10 doubt be enected. Several of
he councilmen suggested the re-
yoking oil the license of a plumber
Who thus neglected the streets.
The resignation of William Eisele
Is fire chief was accepted and the
mayors appointment of William
Waner was confirmed.
The mayor submitted a report
showing that the receipts from fines,
how license and other sources Tor
January, February, and March,
to $163 so.
The clerks report showed a bal
lnce in the various funds amount
ng to $16978,47. Both reports
we're placed on file.
A trial ordinance providing for
he numbering of the buildings was
cad and commented upon, The
treet committee will get together
md formulate a plan, to be inoor-
,orated in an ordinance to be in
at the next meeting The
modern style of beginning in the
center OF town and numbering each
way, by blocks of 100 will no doubt
,e used.
The usual number of bills were
allowed after several substantial
,uts by the finance committee.
The bills allowed are as follows:
