NEEDED DRAIN
AGAIN DELAYED
Ccuncilmen Hear of Galvanized
riping Which Carries Twenty
Five Year Guarantee.
VEST SIDE MUST WAIT
FOR FURTHER ACTION
Representative of the Street Rail
wey Company Says Engine
VIII Soon Be Through With the
Streets.

West Side drain matters are still in
he future so far as actual and def
mite action is concerned. The city
council last night deferred the es-
scntial legal steps and therefore an
other two weeks must elapse before
the drain will have another chance.
CITY Engineer Doolittle was on hand
with data and with the necessary res
hlution. ordinances. specifications,
etc But Messrs Harris and Ansart
were on hand also with a sample of
n corrugated galvanized iron pipe
made in sections and which they de-
clared themselves prepared to guar
antee to stand for twenty-five years.
This looked good to councilmen, who
have been dealing in cement and
concrete, which had not won their
confidence. They voted down the
concrete drain provided for by Mr..
Doolittle and authorized Messrs
Harris and Ansert to procure further
data regarding their metal piping.
Want Alley Vacated.
General Manager N. G. Richards
of the street railway company ex-
planned the application of the cor
block 255. The company, he said,
owns the entire block and will build
its power house, car barn and repair
shops there. The alley has never been
opened, but is merely plat and the
company is the sole owner interested.
He was willing that an agreement be
made under which the alley would
revert to the city if the street rail-
way company ceased to use it.
Counciman Null wanted the street
railway company to repair the bricks
on the avenue before it was given
any concessions.
Mr.. Richards explained that the
railroad would be through with its
engine in about three weeks and
would at once replace the bricks The
TWO matters, he said, We're distinct
and one should not be contingent on
the other. Action on the vacation
was deferred by the council.

Property owners along the Broad
guage ditch propose to pipe the wa
ter underground from the crossing

moved The question was referred
to the city attorney and the street
and ditch committee to report.
Wenner Makes Protest.
Councilman Wenner entered a Wig
orous protest against payment of
bills which contained no 80. K"
There was too much, altogether, he
said, of that kind of work and a
growing tendency to ignore notifica-
tons sent out against it.
Another Avenue Saloon.
j. B. Dazets application for re-
newal of his liquor license was grant
ed but the application of Joseph A.
Cooper for transfer of his license
