The Chestnut street paving,whic
always seemingly failed to appeal
to the Taxpayers on the street in
lany other manner as strongly az to
their pocket-book, is apt TO receive
the necessary repairs to make ii
up to standard, according to a com.
munication read by the clerk from
fContractor Mcdonnell to the coun.
Gil Tuesday evening, responsive to
a former action of that body re.
lquesting such repairs, Mr.. McDon-
nell stating that he will have this
street looked over 40 to repairs ~as
soon az the wortmen having this
work in hand could leave their
work."
The communication was ordered
filed, and it is probable that unless
the workmen find time to do this
work before it again becomes "too
|late in the fall" the council will Jog
his memory in an endeavor to have
the workmen do stunt at hustliuR.
And when it is done, care should be
Exercised that it be done in accord
( ance with the specifications cover
ling the original construction work.
The Virginia & Rainy Lake CON-
pany, by c. H. Rogers, superintend-
ent, petitioned the council that prop
er proceedings be taken by ordin.
ance or otherwise for the allowance
of right.o way fora railroad spur
track commencing at the southwest
corner of the Second Addition and
extending in q northeriy direction
crossing the east and west alley in
block 81 at a point opposite lots 10
and II, and crossing Poplar street
opposite eald lots, and crossing the
alley in block Al, crossing through
lots 22 and q and 10 and II in block
II; thence crossina Spruce street

made a portion thereof, and the
statement that all private property
required for the right-of- way had
been secured, the company seeking
from the city the right to cross the
streets and alleys named at the

As property owner of lots ada.
cent to the right-of.way of the new
line, James Sullivan appeared be-
fore the council in opposition to
the granting of the petition, which
wau upon motion referred to the
committee on ordinance.
The desire to change the present
Missabe spur into the mill property
is understood to be in line with the

provements of the mill plant, the
erection of a large planning mill, of
flee building, etc.
The resolution for the erection of
new pest-house on lot 29, block 50,
| was rescinded, and the clerk in

Day Development Company of Hib-
bing, quoted q price of $220 per
yard for $500 yards of No. 2 crushed

accepted within ten days. The coun.
Gil could not see it's way clear to &C.
cept the offer within the specified
