Since the city council has been sup
plying water meters to water con-
sumers several bills have been pre-
sented asking the council to reim-
burse the parties who bought their
w meters a year or two ago. The
action taken was to employ a plumb
er to examine these meters that have
been in use and apportion to the own
ers what is considered a fair value
after being used.
The report of Treasurer Kibbee for
March was presented and referred to
the finance committee. The report
showed that ~S19,57O.13 had been
collected from taxes and that SIT.
296.1S had been paid to cancel out
standing warrants. This leaves the
outstanding warrants about $4,000,
and shows a better financial condi-
ton by $4,000 at the present time
than a year ago.
G. II. PARROT appeared before the
council and asked for the construc-
tion of some cement walks on the
south side, in the immediate vicinity
of his property. He wanted the city
to order the construction of -four
blocks of walk. which would afford
a walk connection up to the west
wing of the University walks. Mr.
PARROT said that he was p~erfectl,
willing to build his walks in front OF
his four residence lots, and that there
we're others who would be pleased tc
do the same thing, but that the non.
resident lot-owners were not inclined
to go to the expense. Mr.. PARROT ex
pressed the opinion that these non.
resident owners ought to be required
to keep up their property inasmuct
as their lots were Increasing in value
right along on account Of the i'm.
provements that are going on al
around them. Mr.. PARROT was as.
surred that something would be done
in his case as soon as possible.
The mayor made a statement as tt
the closing up OF the deal Of the driv
ing park grounds. The amount pait
for the property was s6,O50. and o.
this amount $1,000 was paid in cash
In order that the owners Of the pro
perty could secure their money RICH
away, a dozen men signed a note fol
the balance at 6 per cent, and the
driving park grounds will be held b.
NJ. r. Patton, cashier of the Mitchell
National bank, until the city pays III
the rest of the Indebtedness trans
action merely to give the II o
the grounds their money right away
