Notice to Raise Bridges.
The city solicitor was directed to serve
notice on the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific Railway company to raise its
bridges over Indian creek, between Twelfth
and Thirteenth avenues. A few years ago,
when indian creek was deepened and
widened, the money for the work being
contributed by the several railroads cen
tering here, all Of the railroad bridges
across Indian creek, with the exception OF
those OF the Rock Island, were raised.
The board of supervisors is to be asked
to meet with the city council to discuss
and devise some means whereby Indian
creek can be protected from trees and
debris Of all sort thrown into 1t above the
city limits. The overflow last week, II IL
believed, was caused by debris floating
down from a point outside the city limits
and lodging against the bridge at North
Eighth street.

mayor and members of the city council
should be passed down to posterity on q
tablet to be placed at the entrance OF
