The Townsite company have not
been very favorably inclined to the
stump ordinance that was passed a
year ago and addressed the council
in letter demanding that the Or
dinance be repealed wherever it en-
braces their property. They stated
in their letter that they were per.
fectly willing to clean the stumps
out of the streets wherever it was
necessary, but claim that they
have great many lots out on the
edge of town, that would be of nc
benefit to be cleaned up at the pres.
ent time and that they desired to
clear the stumps out themselves, be-
cause the estimate placed on the
work was not made correctly or sat-
isfactorily to them. Considerable
discussion arose on the subject and
resolution was unanimously pass.
ed repeating the second part of the
stump ordinance, which takes in
the outlying property, but the first
part of it embodying the part O
town which is built up stands the
same as ever. Then another resolu
tion was made and carried that tht
Ordinance committee meet anc
start proceedings to again establish
special improvement district to
clear the streets and alleys of th'
{, town of the stumps.
A committee representing th'
Pine Grove Telephone company ap.
peared before the council asking fol
permit to bring their line into
town and do business here, but the
matter was laid over until another
meeting for farther investi cation.
