by the school authorities, the high school
faculty, the alumni and the pupils. It is
hoped the correction may be given pub

was taken to the detention home yester-
day on the charge of taking $40 from

to the detention home after getting back
$3.50 out Of the $40. This money was
returned to the old man.
Council investigated sidewalks.
The complaint of the city claim agent
concerning the sidewalk ordinances which
overlap in various ways and when are
not in conformity with the general i'm
provement ordinances of the city has
been productive of an investigation by
the council. A resolution will be Of
fered at the next meeting of the city
council to submit all proposed sidewalk
ordinances to the. city attorney and the
city engineer for approval after the same
manner as petitions for grading or paw
ing are at present submitted. This will
save the confusion which has caused the
trouble.
