monthly session Thursday evening with Mayor Dimes. CounciImcn Fogal and Goodwin present. The meeting was a rather interesting one and con- tinucd until late hour. not with standing the fact that no definite move on any of the various matters brought up was taken. further than the transaction of the regular routine business.

 He was also instructed to have few
 extra loads of caliche hauled from
 across the river and dumped at a con-
 vcnient place for future use in repair
 work. At the present rate of hauling.
 owing to the contract that is now in
 force the gravel can be laid down here
 much cheaper than it can at later

 Chandler's bill of s115 for March
 pumping was held up by the council on the ground that there was some thing wrong with the amount. It was the opinion of the council that owing f.. far hot lon.
 for several days due to the lack of power and to the further fact that eleven days out of the month the sprinkler did not run. there was no ap- parent reason why the bill should be the largest since the water system was installed. On those grounds. Mar shal Brown refused to 0. k. the bill and the council in turn declined to pay it.
 The matter of bridging the Priest ditch just south of the Peters ware house or Sth street and the opening of a road north and south through that block was brought up by Mir. Peters It was his opinion that the opening of road there would do much to dis courage heavy traffic on 1th street and the other streets in the residence dis trict. The matter was tabled for the present but will be taken up again in the near future.
 4 petition from the residents of Far mers addition was heard. In it the residents of that section complain of the deep holes that have been left along the NJ & P right of way when the track was graded Their obiec- f- tor and are a menace to the health and comfort of said residents. The pcti- ton prays that the council take some action to remove this difficulty. n xas the opinion of the city attorney that , the right of way belonging as it does to the railroad company it is the com ! pany's privilege to treat Il as it sees fit. The only thing that tue residents l of that district can do according 10 the | attorney. is {, bring thr matter to | court rn the grounds that the com- pany is maintaining nuisance.

It was their | opinion that the pipes laid at depth | of eight feet will bc sufficient and tho + system at that depth can bc construct. cd at cost of about 5000. including fl engineers fees and all expenses. X H greater depth will neccssitate @ larger II cost It was proposed to immediately III call an election and get the proposition H before the people but for several req sons it was decided to postpone this N action until a special meeting of the council can be held.
