PUTS BAN, ON OPEN
PUBLIC FEED YARD
COUNCIL PUTS STOP TO
WATER STREET OUTRAGE
Will Prohibit Farmers from Using
Fashionable Residence District As
Hitching Yard-Hitching Racks
Will Be Provided-RaIey Street to
Be Improved.

No longer is the fashionable resi-
dence district on Water street to be
subjected to the humiliation of an
open public feed yard. At meeting
OF the council last evening steps were
taken to prevent the further use of
the unused portion of Cottonwood
street between Water and the levee
as hitching and feed yard"
For several years the farmers and
others coming to town have made use
of this portion of the street to tie
their horses and feed them while
transacting business in town. They
not only made an unsightly litter but
collected untold hordes of flies which
sought the residences when the
horses were gone. For several years
the owners of property along Water
street have protested against what
they considered an outrage, but it was
not until last evening that any action
was secured from the council. In or
der to make it impossible to use the
street for hitching place a fence
will probably be put across.
Before this is done, however, an
be provided by the city. Members OF
the council are now looking for a
suitable place and just as soon as one
can be found series of regular
hitching racks will be erected for the
| accommodation of the people driving
| to town who do not care to put their
| teams in stables or feed yards while
| here.
Will Improve Raley Street.
Another important action taken last
evening was the passage of motion
giving the street committee authority
to improve that portion Of Raley street
between the Walters mill and the cor
poration limits. An appropriation OF
| 5000 has been made for the purpose
and it is believed that this will be suf.
| ficient. The county road beyond the
city limits Is now in good condition
and with the improvement of Raley
street. authorized and also that be-
! tween Lincoln street and the mill, the
| road leading out of town to the wes
will prove one of the most popular
riages.
Franklin street Improved.
1t was reported that the improve
ment of franklin street had been com.
pleted. that the roadway is not onl,
open but is in first class condition. Il
was estimated that the work of open.
