built.
Chief Emder again appeared before
the council, asking for more needed
hose The matter was given over to
the fire committee to report at the
next meeting to be held on July 18th.
John Wetzel and H. A. Rider asked
that the matter of paving>on First
street south OF Broadway be pushed
along as quickly as possible as the
recently referred the matter to the
board of public work, as there was q
question in their minds, whether the
petition should be changed 90 as to
embody the tar binding, which a
large number of the property owners
desired. A final order to the board of
public works was made, and bids will
Immediately be advertised for.
I j. B. Cornell stated that the side
walk on Second street between Fifth
and Sixth avenues was far too low
that in the summer it was covered
| with water and that in the winter the
snow drifted in badly on account Of
the high street A sidewalk on the
east side of the same street in block
t35, was taken up two or there years
ago, and some of the residents want a
+; new one put in. Both matters were
referred to committee.
At previous meeting nearly all the
members stated that they would be
willing to give the band a certain sum
per month, the band in return to give
free weekly concerts. Leigh Cary, on
behalf of the band, at Monday night s
meeting, stated that the organization
would accept such an offer-the
amount to be $25 per month the year
! around. -
While the council was disposed to
make such deal, the making of it,
would be unlawful. IF there is q way
the band can be supported, it will, no
doubt, be done. However, if the band
plays this month and puts in bill for
such services at the end of the month,
, 1t no doubt will be allowed.
A resolution was passed, ordering
. the license money of John Dolan, in
, sum of $500, returned.
