In the absence of Mayor Ken

nartz opened the meeting. Fol
lowing the reading and approval
of minutes of the previous meet.
ing, Edmund Brandt presented
to council, in behalf of the Buck
land Milling Co., the plat OF the
new addition just west of the
Cincinnati Northern Railroad.
The plat was accepted and the
Solicitor was directed to draw
an ordinance approving same.
A petition for grading and
macadamizing the north end of
Sugar street, signed by almost
every one of the residents in the
two squares recently opened,
was presented to council. But
that was as far as it got. De-
spite the fact that this street is
only partly graded and nothing
better than a mud hole, which
= Fire Chief Weisman stated he
had found almost impossible to
get through with his wagons
when recently called by an alarm
of fire from the Sim Groves
home, council had to pigeon
hole the matter because of lack
of funds to do any work.
This condition of affairs
brought on an animated discus
sion, which finally resulted in
the Solicitor being instructed to
prepare a resolution for passage
at the next meeting, authorizing
the issuance of refunding bonds
in something over $15, 900.
Councilman Lennarts stated
that the Citizens Bank had on
hand $4,000 highway improve
ment bonds, due the first of May,
but that the town had no money
in the depositaries to meet the
demand. City Treasurer George
was also present and stated that
he had only a little over thou
sand dollars in hand to pay off
the vouchers that were present
ed to him. In order, therefore,
to get rid of the highway i'm
provement bonds that were past
due, the Solicitor was also in
structed to prepare a resolution
for the issuance of certificate
of Indebtedness in the sum OF
$4,000.
The City Engineer was in
structed to furnish grade and
set grade monuments for streets,
alleys and sidewalks in the new
Buckland Milling Co.'s addition
and do the work post haste, as
the owners wish to get the
streets graded as soon as poss-
ible.
Merchant Fred Olnhausen was
again before council in regard to
over front footage assessment
on his property on North Main
street. The clerk then read
resolution correcting the error,
and same was passed.
A resolution was then read
and adopted transferring S13O
from the general fund to the
safety fund to meet the expense
of the extra fireman recently ap-
pointed. Another was read and
adopted transferring $3.50 from
the general fund to the service
fund for the building of the tool
shed and supply house being |
built by the city on the towns
lot on West Warren street.
The action of the building
committee in awarding the con-
tract for erecting this building
to Grant Karr for his bid of $685.,
was approved.
The clerk then read the vari-
Gus reports of village depart
ments for the past month, and
same were all accepted.
Councilman LeBlond stated
that he had been asked by mem
bers of the Shakspere club about
council charging the club for
use Of the opera-house for the
lecture course members, as they
had been informed a charge
would be made BY council next |
