A QUIET Meeting
SUIT WILL PROBABLY BE lNsTI.
TUTED between CITY AND
WATER COMPANY. ~.

Street Commissioners.

The board of city commissioners
held another love feast last evening,

= A communication from the Bismarck
Water Supply Co. was received, stat
ing that inasmuch as the city had
graded down Second. Fourth, Fifth
and South Seventh streets to the ex-
tent that there is danger of the water
mains freezing this winter, that the
company intended to cover the mains
80 that they would not freeze, and
that any expense in so doing would
be charged up to the city. The letter
was referred to Commissioner Lucas.
This Is the first step in suit that
will probably be instituted between
the city and the Water company in
order to find out. what rights the city
and the Water company have In the
streets, and when the suit is settled
it will help to stop the constant bick-
ering between the city and the Wat"
er company. E:sf& 4 .5sG ~: L
Commissioner jackson introduced
an ordinance, prepared by City At

erty owner allows snow and Ice to
accumulate on his sidewalk and does

hours after a snow storm, the city

up to the property. The former ordi-
nance called for a fine but was not
considered as valid as the present
ordinance. %,5 ..4 Il a:s r. $sss 4 yc5

Present plans call for three miles
Of steel to the north from this city
and the laterals of trackage may be
extended with favorable conditions
At the end of three miles there is
series Of bridges and the purpose Of
the contractor is to haul bridge sup,
plies over the trackage spoken Of
1t is thought that the bridge work
in the one locality will require
several weeks of actual work and by
putting in short days it will require
nearly double the time to build
these bridges. A prominent con,
tractor told the first of the week
that in any event trains would bs
running on the north branch by Mar
l next year. The landslide at Man
dan lake caused some difficulty but
means of remedy have been derived
and the accident will not cause any,
material delay.
About fifty per cent of the grading
work yet remains on the south
branches and it will be fall next
year before trains can be operated
over the new lines. Exceedingly
heavy cuts and some trouble due to
inability to get laborers are two
causes of the slowness of progress on
these lines. An early start in the
spring, however, may relieve the de
lay some and the lines might be fin
tshed up little sooner. .r&e%5
