The Glenwood post., 1909-02-06

A total of fifty men were hailed be
fore the various police magistrates that
served during the month of January.
OF this number nearly all were given
walking papers and told to hit the high
places. This was shown in the various
reports read by Clerk kendriek at the
regular monthly meeting of .the city
futhers Monday evening.
Although it had been limited that
some great stunts were coming up for
the council, there was nothing doing
aside from the consuming of nearly
three hours of time doing it.
Ole Thorson as a member of the
board of trade auditorium committee
came before the council and asked what
action had been taken by the board and
its committee. Councilman Barnes said
the committee had been discharged, but
the mayor was not aware of this, and
said they should make report Febru-
ary 12, to the board Of trade
Our readers are familiar with the
barrow plan for the building of the
auditorium, and many believed it solved
the problem, but Mayor Drach reports
that two bonding companies of Denver
had said they would not take over the
bonds under that plan, which was that
a mort gage be given on the building
and lots, and the city to stand for the
interest and expense and in turn have
the use of the building for council pur
poses, fire equipment and city Jail
When asked regarding the proposed
price to be expended in such a building,
Mr.. Thorson said: elf you want a
building for simply summer meetings,
you can pattern after the one in Boul-
der, which holds some nine thousand
people and cost in the Peighborhood of
$4,000. If you want n building that
can be used for city purposes and for
meetings every day in the year, it will
cost about 100000 to $35, ,Oo0." 1t
was decided that it would have to be n
strictly home proposition and after
more explanations it was decided that
special levy may be made to secure the
necessary funds. This ended the audit
. orium talk and the long-debated ques-
ton of the oil tanks in the southwest
n part of the city was taken up. 1t Will
be remembered that the council ordered
the oil company to move out, but the
company is now wanting to know the
ordinance under which the orders were
issued. As there seems to be none, the
city attorney will prepare one for the
next meeting.
The autos were given an inning and
an ordiIrsnce regarding their speed lin
it was read. This limits the speed tc
ten miles an hour on straight-away
course, while all corners must be turned
and streets crossed at six miles nj
hour. The usual sections regarding th'
lights and signals were included. DR.
D. l. FLETCHER was present and spok'
in behalf of auto owners and said:
you limit the speed to ten miles Al
hour and make us turn corners at SIX
you are taking half of the pleasure on
OF riding. You must remember that tn
roads for auto driving are all With
tho city limits, and for this reason yo
should be more lenient. If there wer
good roads near the city, but out of tn
limits, it would not be so bad, but ther
are not" The proposed ordinance wa
allowed to lay over that consultatio
might be had with the auto club b'
fore adoption.
Engineer Rosenburg made rcpo'
regarding the sewerage system, propo'
- for the part of the city across tn
liver, and west Of Hotel Colorado.
