ers IN 'he style of circus seats. The
aioernieh found that the PROMISED
structnre would conflict with the or
dinance relating to the fire limits
put the question was referred to
the "'e committee for further in
vesti9ation -
raul Heiser presented an applica
tion for plumbing and electrica, in
spector' which went the committee
route.
The property owners on Ninth
street have provided some 800 feet
OF Tie TO take the place of the un-
slightly ditch west of Fourteenth
avenue They have paid for the tile
and asked that it be installed by the
city. The committee has the matter
IN charse and it is probable that the
request will be granted, as there is
no greater Improvement in the city
than the tiling of bitches along the
main streets.
The finance committee reported
that no reason could be seen why
Robert Steele and others along the
north end OF Ninth avenue should
be rebated for their share of the
Ninth avenue grade, so the counci,
turned down the request. The can
ming factory was rebated some 50, ,0Or
and the small property owners
thought they were entitled to the
same consideration
The water test for May showed
the city water exceptionally good un-
til the heavy rains OF the 23rd and
gath. The storage basin west of
town is covered with fiat roof to
keep out all germs and debris. The
roof will not turn dust or water, as
there is crack from quarter to IL
half inch between the boards. In
stead OF being a benefit, this roof is
detriment, as it collects disease
germs for month or six months,
as the case may be. and as soon as
a rain comes along it washes them
water showed 81 colonies to the Gu.
bic centimeter. After the big rain
a few days later the same amount ot
water contained 1850 colonies, which
is tritie better than the sewage
from the Chicago river.
Alderman Starkey has been max
ing close study OF the water sys
tenn xaad in in favor OF making it bet
ter NAai. He Believes a third filte
should be installed. The presen
filters are now being equipped witt
drain pipe so that they can be read
lily leaned This drain pipe vii
connect with sewer instead of th'
city water main.
The report of the street supervise
showed $3.50 collected in road tax
OF this sum $4S6 was cash and tn,
balance was worked out on tho
streets. In his report the commits
sioner designated the amount work
ed out as 'slow labor.
Mr. and Mrs. S. w Bullard were
given permission to install and malr
tain a handsome flower bed at then
own expense in the northwest corner
ul North park. 1t will be just across
the street from the Bullard hon
which will tighten the burden OF
maintenance and Will add to tn,
beauty of the park.
The sewer system as installed by
Kinsella & Browne in Forrest PARK
addition was accepted by the city
and is now part of the municipal
system.
The all-night light service fof
street lights started last night. The
contract specified that it should be
gin May %, but the company de-
sired to start the first of the month
so that the bills might be dated regu-
lar. 1t is only slight violation OF
the contract which can be held over
them
