REFUSE PETITION
Continued from page ~

The matter OF laying out the road
from the experiment station along the
section line to the road west of YounR's
park was token up. Mr.. Burnett stated
that the Empire Real Estate & Mortgage
Co. was about to fence the land where
the present road runs and it would be
necessary to lay out the new road. Mr..
Young does not wish to Inconvenience
the farmers in any way and offers to
bear N half Of the expense of laying
out the new road, providing that the
cost for such work does not exceed $500.
The council accepted Mr.. Young's offer
and voted to have the work done as 1901
as possible.
An ordinance pertaining to the park
ing of streets in certain sections of the
city was given the second reading. If
the ordinance passes. residents outside
of the business districts. will be allowed
to park the streets adjoining their prop
critics according to plans to be submitted
by the city engineer and where such inn
provements are made the work will be
protected by the city officials.
Only one bid for sidewalks and eros
sings was submitted to the council, that
of the Dickinson Cement Works. The
bid was considered reasonable and the
contract will be let to the above firm
as soon as proper bonds are executed.
The prices for the different articles are
practically the same as last year. -:

was killed in less than a minute. the
aldermen voting as follows: Turner, Tear
and Stewart, aye ..Roquette. johnson,
Maser, Crawford and Schaffer. no
White, Richards. Porter and Wanner
absent and not voting. The reason
given by those voting against the petit
ton was that no crossings have been

allowed the council would be flooded
with similar petitions at a time when
the city cannot afford to do the work.
