Will Extend Water Mains.
A petition was received from resi-
dents in Northland addition to ex.
tend the Waterman from Carson's
corner to lot N. Stoner had an es.
tate of the cost ready and the
council decided to extend the
main. The work was estimatede at
$1,000 including a valve and three
hydrants. The pipe is to be fou,
inches through. Bids will be re.
ceived and opened by the council
on August IS.
The opening of Park avenue
was again brought up and it was
stated that Mr.. French wanted
more than his land was worth and
was the only obstacle. The street
committee was instructed to meet
with T. J. Andrews and other
property owners on Park avenue
between IS and "a streets and see
if the way was clear foe opening
the street. The committe will re-
port the next meeting of council.
Attention of the council was called
to the fact that twelve benches
adorned the park this spring but
that only seven were left now. The
council decided to chain those left
to the trees so that they would be
there until fall.
A report of the street committee
recommended that 23d street be
opened from L. P. Andrews corner
to Irvine avenue; that 10Th street be
cleared of stumps from Irvine to
Park avenues; that the street CON-
missioner. cover the corduroy road
running west of the city with gravel;
and that the Great Northern and
Red Lake roads be asked to put
gravel on the crossing west of the
city to make it passable. The re
port was accepted and filed.
Money Not Voted for the Fair.
A resolution was introduced stat
ing that $3.50 be expanding by the
city in decorating for the County
Fair and that the mayor and the
Fair directors have charge of the
fund. The committee was to make
report and file it with the city
clerk. The resolution was passed
unanimously, but a count revealed
the fact that but six members were
present and it needed seven to pass
the resolution. 1t was laid over
until the next meeting.
The report of the municipal court
showed receipts of $3.50 for the
week of July 80. The building
committee was instructed to employ
a person to plan for new jail to be
constructed of brick. The mayor
was added to the committee. 1t
was also decided to change the city
hall.
Warield's bill for 1888 for city
hall wiring and lights did not 20
through because the work was
ordered by Harry Masten. Part of
the council understood that lights
we're to be furnished but all agreed
that he should not have ordered the
work. The bills passed are as fol.
