CITY COUNCIL DolNes
the SOUTH SIDE WANTS

The city council met Monday evening
for regular monthly business. President
b. H. Crawford was in the chair.
The subway matter for Third Ave. W.
was discussed again. The old commit
tee was asked to confer with the rail-
road officials again and also to see the
Heaton Lumber Co. and if possible get
some definite answer. If the company
cannot complete the subway through tile
railroad yards, then the council will ask
that special watchmen be put on for the
crossing west.
The German Commercial Club of the
South Side sent in a communication
asking that the poll tax of residents on
their side be used in repairs of streets
and alleys there which the club con-
tended was much needed. 1t seemed to
be the general opinion of the aldermen
that the request was reasonable and the
council instructed the street and alley
committee to confer with Street Com
missioner Walsh with reference to the
matter and to use every means possible
to get the South Side work in shape.
Aldermen Maser, White and Roquette
were appointed a committee to confer
with Hughes & Deiters to see if the
electric light company was still willing
10 put in crossing from their office to
the First National Bank corner. The
council is willing to get the donation
for the city.
A foot bridge was ordered for the east
ern part of the city.
A surety bond in the sum of $50. 900
was ordered for Treasurer Tollefson and
one in the sum of 5000 for Auditor
Hill, the city to pay the premiums in
both cases.
A standing committee consisting of
Aldermen Maser. White and Waegoner.
